In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.

In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such Mortgage Loan which, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of reimbursement not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain, promptly upon request from the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination.

The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable shall be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any),

such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans that, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Property Protection Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain, promptly upon request from the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination (and, upon the reasonable request by the Trustee, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any relevant Appraisals or market value estimates in its possession to the requesting party for such purpose). Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Property Protection Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance or that any proposed Property Protection Advance,

-75-  

 

if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative, (but only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer). The Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Property Protection Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to any Other Servicer, and, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination shall be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not have any obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Property Protection Advance is or would be recoverable; however, if the Special Servicer makes any such determination, such determination shall not be binding upon the Master Servicer or the Trustee. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Property Protection Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status and property inspections, and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Property Protection Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Property Protection Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Property Protection Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Property Protection Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Property Protection Advance).

(l)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to deliver a Mortgage Note (and any related allonge or assignment) to the Custodian shall be limited to delivery of only the Mortgage Note (and any related allonge or assignment) held by such party to the Custodian. With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is serviced under this Agreement, the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to deliver the remaining portion of the related Mortgage File or any document required to be delivered with respect thereto shall be joint and several, provided that either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one Mortgage File or one of any other document required to be delivered with respect to such Mortgage Loan hereunder and such delivery shall satisfy such delivery requirements for each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers.

Section 2.02        Acceptance by Trustee. (a) The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt, directly or through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files (to the extent such documents constituting the Mortgage Files are actually delivered to the Trustee or Custodian) and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Companion Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(f). With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Companion Loan in such Serviced Whole Loan in trust for the use and benefit of the related Companion Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the possession of the Custodian on its behalf and (ii) the original Mortgage Note (or,

-124-  

 

if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it or the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it or by the Custodian on its behalf and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.

(b)               On or about the 60^th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90^th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all material exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which a Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Section 2.01(c), Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit Q to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser (and upon request, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), (5), (7), (14) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents (together with any loan agreement that has been delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller), the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iii), (v), and (vii) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in clauses (2) and (3) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if such recorded document is not in the Custodian’s possession because it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such recorded document. With respect to the items listed in clause (4) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if the recorded original of such document is not in the Custodian’s possession because it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such recorded original. If the Custodian’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two (2) years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver a comparable certification to any party hereto, the Companion Holder and any Underwriter and any Initial Purchaser on request.

(c)               It is acknowledged that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation

-125-  

 

to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(d)               It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), (5), (7), (14) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received, appear regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement.

(e)               If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such document to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File).

Section 2.03                    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor; Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans for Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties. (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that:

(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and, as to any rights of indemnification hereunder, by considerations of public policy;

(iii)                             Neither the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement nor the compliance by the Depositor with the provisions hereof, nor the consummation by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will (A) conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor or, after giving effect to the consents or taking of the actions contemplated by clause (B) of this paragraph (iii), any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties, or any of the provisions of any indenture or agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument or (B) require any consent of, notice to, or filing with any person, entity or governmental body, which has not been obtained or made by the Depositor, except where, in any of the instances contemplated by clause (A) above or this clause (B), the failure to do so will not have a material and adverse effect on the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv)                            There is no litigation, charge, investigation, action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened against the Depositor in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality the outcome of which could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(v)                               The Depositor is not transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud its present or future creditors;

(vi)                            No proceedings looking toward merger, liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy of the Depositor are pending or contemplated;

(viii)                      The Depositor has not transferred any of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans (as such was transferred to it by each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to any Person other than the Trustee; and

(ix)                              The Depositor is transferring all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans (as such was transferred to it by each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by or through the Depositor.

-127-  

 

(b)               If the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) discovers (without implying any duty of such Person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging (A) that any document required to be included by (or on behalf of) the related Mortgage Loan Seller and constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not appear to be regular on its face (each, a “Document Defect”) or (B) a breach of any representation or warranty of a Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(d) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”), then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the other parties hereto, any related Companion Holder (if applicable) and, subject to Section 13.10 of this Agreement, each of the Rating Agencies (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(c) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage, then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”; and a Material Breach and/or a Material Document Defect, as the case may be, shall constitute a “Material Defect”, as the case may be. The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, whether a Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Defect. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (but will not be obligated to) consult with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer regarding any determination of a Material Defect for a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Defect then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that made such determination shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder. Promptly upon becoming aware of any Material Defect (including through a written notice given by any party to this Agreement), the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall require the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), not later than ninety (90) days from the earlier of (a) the earlier of such Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Defect, or (b) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, any party’s discovery of such Material Defect (such 90-day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), to (i) cure such Material Defect in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of losses and any additional Trust Fund expenses associated therewith, including the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan) (ii) Repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or the Trust’s interest therein with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest

-128-  

 

thereof) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account or (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the related Whole Loans, for which no substitution shall be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith, all in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such Initial Cure Period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such Initial Cure Period, then such Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) shall have an additional ninety (90) days (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such Repurchase or substitution (it being understood and agreed that, in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such Extended Cure Period, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect was not cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the related Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure of such Material Defect and stating that such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such Extended Cure Period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the Initial Cure Period and any such Extended Cure Period solely due to the failure of the related Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase or substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as the related Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator every thirty (30) days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the related Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, repurchase or substitution may continue beyond the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Substitution Shortfall Amount are to be wired. Any such Repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced, and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, after the related Cut-off Date through, but not including, the related date of Repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on

-129-  

 

behalf of the Trust after the related date of Repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related Repurchase or substitution within two (2) Business Days following receipt of properly identified and available funds constituting such Periodic Payment. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, that has been substituted shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Mortgagor), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Mortgagor), then the failure to deliver to the Custodian copies of the UCC Financing Statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.

If a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, with the consent of the Directing Holder if no Control Termination Event is continuing) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(f) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall determine the amount of any applicable Loss of Value Payment (with the consent of the Directing Holder in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an applicable Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing) and, in the case of any Repurchase Request with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans prior to the occurrence of a Resolution Failure, shall communicate such amount to the Master Servicer for its enforcement action with the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller. In connection with any such determination with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer but in any event within the time frame and in the manner provided in Section 3.19, with the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.19 in order to permit the Special Servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment as set forth in this Section 2.03(b). The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof). If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between each Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer

-130-  

 

(in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

The cure, repurchase and substitution obligations or the obligation to pay the Loss of Value Payment described herein will constitute the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders in connection with a Material Breach of any representation or warranty or a Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan. None of the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other person will be obligated to repurchase or replace any affected Mortgage Loan or make a Loss of Value Payment in connection with a Breach of any of the representations and warranties or a Document Defect if a Mortgage Loan Seller defaults on its obligations to do so.

If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives (i) a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or Breach (any such request or demand, a “15Ga-1 Repurchase Request”) or (ii) a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any Companion Holder (if applicable) and, subject to Section 13.10 of this Agreement, each of the Rating Agencies (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) that was subject of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Special Servicer shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Depositor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller unless it is the entity that has repurchased or replaced the subject Mortgage Loan or rejected such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, and unless it is the party that notified the Special Servicer thereof, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.

Each notice of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date that the Repurchase Communication regarding the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the 15Ga-1 Repurchase

-131-  

 

Request (as asserted in the 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request.

If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan) and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication regarding [a “15Ga-1 Repurchase Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Benchmark 2024-V6 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [15Ga-1 Repurchase Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.

No Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) is so provided only to assist the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any 15Ga-1 Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.

The Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon written request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to deliver one (1) PDF and one (1) original of a power of attorney

-132-  

 

substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, that permits such parties to take such other action as is necessary to effect the delivery, assignment and/or recordation of any documents and/or instruments relating to any Mortgage Loan which have not been delivered, assigned or recorded at the time required for enforcement by the Trust Fund. Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to effect (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) the assignment and recordation of its respective Mortgage Loan documents until the assignment and recordation of all such Mortgage Loan documents has been completed.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree that if a “material document defect” exists with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan under the Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and a Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) repurchases the related Companion Loan pursuant to the Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall also Repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” related solely to the promissory note for such Companion Loan.

(c)               Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

(d)               In connection with any Repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by such Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such Repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing File), and all escrows and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt (and such receipt shall be deemed to be the Master Servicer’s direction to the Trustee and the Custodian to) from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that

-133-  

 

the requirements for repurchase or substitution have been satisfied. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(d), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property (including with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) in connection with the Repurchase of, or substitution for, an REO Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or any of its agents or Subcontractors. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides that in the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, such Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver to the Custodian the Mortgage File and to the Master Servicer all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan possessed by it and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement.

(e)               Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(f)                If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Material Defect does not constitute a Material Defect, as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Defect shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect or Breach as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s) in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Material Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Except as provided in this Section 2.03(f) and Section 2.03(g), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.

(g)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Mortgage provides for the partial release of one or more of the Crossed Underlying Loans, the Depositor may cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase only that Crossed Underlying Loan required to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03, pursuant to the partial release provisions of the related

-134-  

 

Mortgage; provided, however, that (i) the remaining related Crossed Underlying Loan(s) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, (ii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller obtains an Opinion of Counsel (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event and (iii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to the Custodian original modifications to the Mortgage prepared and executed in connection with such partial release.

(h)               With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(b) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, shall, as set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the related Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.

(i)                 (i) In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as the Operating Advisor) or the Custodian that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (an “Owner Repurchase Request”), such party shall promptly forward that Owner Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Enforcing Servicer, shall then promptly forward that Owner Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement and take the actions required under Section 2.03(j). Subject to Section 2.03(j), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Owner Repurchase Request. If a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the Owner Repurchase Request, the provisions described in Section 2.03(j)(i) shall apply.

(ii)                                In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) has knowledge of a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other

-135-  

 

party to this Agreement, identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request”, and each of an Owner Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward such PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Subject to Section 2.03(j), the Enforcing Servicer shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request. If a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request, the provisions described below under Section 2.03(j) shall apply.

(iii)                              In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within one hundred eighty (180) days after the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), the provisions described in Section 2.03(j) shall apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

(iv)                            Within two (2) Business Days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request made by any Person other than the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Special Servicer, indicating the Master Servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request. The Master Servicer shall also deliver to the Special Servicer the Servicing File and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder to the extent set forth in this Agreement for such Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such Servicing File, information, documents and records, the Special Servicer shall become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

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

-136-  

 

the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such thirty (30) day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that if any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) shall be compelled to follow (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority, by Certificate Balance, of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures described below relating to the delivery of the Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices, (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. Within three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day response period, the Certificate Administrator shall tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the applicable Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(j) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the Certificate Administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the Certificate Administrator’s tabulation of the majority, by Certificate Balance, of the responding Certificateholders. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. In the event that (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial

-137-  

 

Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice and (c) the Enforcing Servicer also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such additional responses from other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners shall also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority, by Certificate Balance, of Certificateholders.

(ii)                                 If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action, including but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08.

(iii)                             Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (other than the Holder of the Class RR Certificates) (each of clauses (a) or (b), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than five (5) Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

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

-138-  

 

(v)                               If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there is more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the Holder or Holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Material Defect shall not be deemed waived with respect a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder, Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

(vi)                           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(j) will not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

(vii)                          In the event a Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement); provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Holder, provided that no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and an applicable Excluded Loan is not involved, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan) or any of their respective Affiliates (except for any Holders of the Controlling Class) shall be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Election

-139-  

 

Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such Affiliate(s) with respect to the course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described in Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j).

(k)               If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

(i)                                   The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

(ii)                                The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, and either, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex commercial transactions and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)                             The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within ten (10) Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within sixty (60) days thereafter.

(iv)                            The expenses of any mediation shall be allocated among the parties to the mediation including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and the Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

(l)                 If the Enforcing Party selects third-party arbitration, the following provisions will apply:

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

(ii)                                The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and either commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex commercial transactions and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two (2) peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider

-140-  

 

will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

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

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

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

(vi)                             The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice at the Prime Rate.

The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies shall be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(viii)                      No Person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.

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

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

(ii)                                If the dispute involves a matter that cannot effectively be remedied by the payment of damages, or if there be any dispute relating to arbitration or the arbitrators that cannot be resolved promptly by the arbitrators or the Arbitration Services Provider, then any party in such instance may during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings seek temporary equitable remedies, pending the final decision of the arbitration panel, solely by application in the Southern District if such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction, or if the Southern District has no jurisdiction, then the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or shared with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 2.03), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient shall promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

(iv)                            In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding will be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Holder, provided that no Consultation Termination Event is continuing and an applicable Excluded Loan is not involved, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the

-142-  

 

agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

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

(vi)                           The Trust (or the Trustee or the Enforcing Servicer, acting on its behalf), the Depositor or a Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation or arbitration.

(vii)                         For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration or participation in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Enforcing Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Holder.

(viii)                     Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration shall be reimbursable as Trust Fund expenses.

(n)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers to repurchase with respect to a Material Defect with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Defect with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Mortgage Loan Sellers with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Co-Lender Agreement shall control; provided that in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, take any action or omit to take any action in accordance with the terms of any Co-Lender Agreement that would cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to violate the Servicing Standard or the REMIC Provisions.

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to their obligations under this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.19, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced

-145-  

 

Mortgage Loans) and any related Serviced Companion Loans as to which a Special Servicing Transfer Event is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan”) or as otherwise provided herein with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with any Special Servicer Major Decision and (ii) any REO Properties (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties); provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Special Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, will not have any responsibility for the performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as a Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, in its capacity as a Special Servicer, will not have any responsibility for the performance by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.19(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to (i) the processing of any Special Servicer Major Decision by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) Section 3.19, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall make the property inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the financial statements, budgets, operating statements and rent rolls and forward to the Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if efforts by the Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of the Master Servicer. No provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loan or shall be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including with respect to Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances and interest accrued thereon). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.

(b)               Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.08) and of the respective Mortgage Loans, any related

-146-  

 

Serviced Companion Loans and any related Co-Lender Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, in the case of the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.20, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) and the Trustee or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan, it is obligated to service under this Agreement: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, and shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments as necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.18 and 6.08, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Trust (in their representative capacities (except as set forth below in this paragraph). The Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall provide to the Mortgagor related to such Mortgage Loans that it is servicing any reports required to be provided to them pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, no later than 30 days after the Closing Date and thereafter upon request, furnish to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer original powers of attorney in the form of Exhibit R-1 and Exhibit R-2, respectively, attached hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity (unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the

-147-  

 

Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity)) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.

(c)               To the extent the Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Co-Lender Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action which requires Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency, the Master Servicer shall require the costs of such Rating Agency Confirmation and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Co-Lender Agreement) require the Mortgagor to bear the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall not waive the requirement that such costs and expenses be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or Companion Loan documents (including any related Co-Lender Agreement) are silent as to who bears the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation or Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses out of pocket other than as a Property Protection Advance.

(d)               The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

(e)               The Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents or any related Companion Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.

(f)                Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, (x) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled in Section 2.01(b)) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Holders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit and (y) the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee, that any notices of default under such Ground Lease required to be delivered to the leasehold mortgagee pursuant to the terms of such Ground Lease shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has notified the provider of such letter of credit pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage

-148-  

 

Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(g)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) make an Advance with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent the related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer included in the Trust Fund.

(h)               Servicing and administration of each Serviced Companion Loan shall continue hereunder and in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement for so long as the corresponding Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund or for such longer period as any amounts payable by the related Companion Holder, to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement remain due and owing.

(i)                 The Special Servicer agrees that upon the occurrence of a Special Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, that is subject to or becomes subject to a Co-Lender Agreement in the future, it shall, subject to Section 3.19, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, on behalf of the Trust, subject to the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Special Servicer determines such action is in the best interests of the Trust, all rights conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to any such Co-Lender Agreement. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be paid as a Trust Fund expense or, subject to the terms of the applicable Co-Lender Agreement, (i) with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, by the Trust and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with the respective Stated Principal Balances of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, or (ii) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, by the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan and then, by the Trust.

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the servicing and administration of a Serviced Whole Loan shall continue hereunder (but not with respect to making Advances) even if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, until such time as a separate servicing agreement is entered into in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement (it being acknowledged that neither the Master Servicer nor the

-149-  

 

Special Servicer shall be obligated under a separate agreement to which it is not a party); provided that, other than pursuant to Section 6.04 (and, with respect to Section 6.04, solely with respect to claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a legal claim or action resulting from an action or inaction taken or not taken while the related Serviced Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund), no costs, expenses, losses or fees accruing with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan on and after the date the related Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund shall be payable out of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Advance on or after the date such Serviced Mortgage Loan ceases to be part of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that if, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan continues to be included in an Other Securitization, then for so long as a separate servicing agreement (pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement) has not been entered into, the Master Servicer shall inform the related Other Servicer of any need to make Property Protection Advances with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan within three (3) Business Days of determining that such an Advance is necessary or being notified that such an Advance is necessary, or in the case of a Property Protection Advance that needs to be made on an emergency or urgent basis, within one (1) Business Day. With respect to Property Protection Advances made by any Other Servicer as contemplated in the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall, from collections on the related Serviced Whole Loan (but never out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) received by the Master Servicer, reimburse the Other Servicer for such Property Protection Advances in the same manner and on the same level of priority as if such Property Protection Advances had been made by the Master Servicer hereunder.

(k)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement and the rights of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement and Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.

(l)                 The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement, (i) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, and (ii) in the event that (A) the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund created by the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and (B) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement, the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement

-150-  

 

would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding.

(m)             Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan are limited by, and subject to, the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement. The Master Servicer (or, if a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the benefits of the rights of the Trust (as holder of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Co-Lender Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, the provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement shall control.

(o)               To the extent required under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the related lender, maintain a Note register for the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, in accordance with such Mortgage Loan documents.

(iii)                             Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, such provisions shall not be deemed to affect the priority of distributions of payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that such amounts are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

-155-  

 

(d)               [Reserved].

(e)               With respect to any Mortgage Loan in connection with which the Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives described in the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, hold such escrows, letters of credit and proceeds thereof as additional collateral and not apply such items to reduce the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, unless otherwise required to do so pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, applicable law or court order.

(f)                (A) Promptly following the Closing Date and, with respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, promptly following receipt of written notice by the Certificate Administrator of the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each Co-Lender Agreement (together with the relevant contact information (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received notice of such event and the relevant contact information)). The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified and available funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.

Section 3.03        Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents, as the case may be. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify respective interests of either noteholder therein as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, as applicable, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Property Protection Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the

-156-  

 

related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

(b)               The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof. The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof from the applicable REO Account or by the Master Servicer as Property Protection Advances prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments (which shall be so applied by the Master Servicer at the written direction of the Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Companion Loan. Other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall service and administer any reserve accounts (including monitoring, maintaining or changing the amounts of required escrows) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan, as applicable, does not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, Companion Loan that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

(c)               In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable,

-157-  

 

the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular Advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such Advance until the later of five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid or the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Property Protection Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Property Protection Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Property Protection Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Protection Advances; provided, that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Property Protection Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Property Protection Advance. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Property Protection Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Property Protection Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Property Protection Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Property Protection Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances which shall be reimbursed from the Collection Account) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Property Protection Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Property Protection Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Property Protection Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Property Protection Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master

-158-  

 

Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Property Protection Advance at the time the Special Servicer did.

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Property Protection Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Protection Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Property Protection Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, but such determination shall be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans or related Serviced Companion Loan, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Property Protection Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Property Protection Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Property Protection Advance shall be required hereunder if such Property Protection Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Protection Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Protection Advances under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Property Protection Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Property Protection Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by

-159-  

 

the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Property Protection Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Holders, all as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holders constituted a single lender (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans). The Master Servicer or Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make property protection advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement.

(d)               In connection with its recovery of any Property Protection Advance out of the Collection Account (or any Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the Special Servicer and then the Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Property Protection Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.17(c), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Property Protection Advance as soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account (or any Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein; provided, however, that such Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts shall not alter the Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse the Special Servicer for any outstanding Property Protection Advance as provided for in this sentence. To the extent amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account with respect to the related Companion Loan are insufficient for any such reimbursement, the Master Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the

-160-  

 

related Co-Lender Agreement to obtain any reimbursement available from the holder of the related Companion Loan.

(e)               To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).

(c)               Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer may and, upon the request of Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

Section 3.07        Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable). If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Property Protection Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates to be made with the consent of the Directing Holder) by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans); provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or, with respect to REO

-180-  

 

Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the Master Servicer will be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) (i) with (in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan and unless a Control Termination Event is continuing) the consent of the Directing Holder and (ii) (other than an applicable Excluded Loan) after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08 and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless the Special Servicer determines ((i) unless a Control Termination Event is continuing and after consultation by the Special Servicer with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08 and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Holder) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection

-181-  

 

Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by a the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the Insurance Policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any Insurance Policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained following such determination (if made by the Master Servicer) or following notice of such determination (if made by the Special Servicer). The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding

-182-  

 

Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Holder or to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to take any immediate action pursuant to the Servicing Standard or other servicing requirements of this Agreement and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

(b)               (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Property Protection Advance.

(ii)                                If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer naming the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such master single interest or

-183-  

 

force-placed Insurance Policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance. Such master single interest or force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy had it been maintained, deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master single or force-placed interest policy because of such deductible clause, to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, including any related Serviced Companion Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(c)               Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer covering the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers and employees acting on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions insurance policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

(d)               At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property,

-184-  

 

if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Property Protection Advance for such costs.

(e)               During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) in accordance with the Servicing Standard)), a flood Insurance Policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance.

(f)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt or the deposit obligations or deposit accounts or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated no lower than “A-” by Fitch (if then rated by Fitch) or “A3” by Moody’s, the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to any of its obligations under this Section 3.07.

(g)               The Operating Advisor shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy, the issuer of which is rated no lower than the applicable Qualified Insurer ratings, covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

Section 3.08        Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a) As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:

(i)                                   provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

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

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, (A) the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to any (1) Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or, (2) to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision, any

-185-  

 

Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan)), and (B) the Master Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision), in each case, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to grant or withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, prior to itself taking such an action, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder (or (A)(1) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (B) during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, upon consultation with the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.08), which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Holder) of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Holder, and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that (A) represents at least 5.0% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted as a single Mortgage Loan) based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (C) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, or (D) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan represents one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in the related Other Securitization (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of such Other Securitization as to whether such Serviced Companion Loan is one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in such Other Securitization, or if no timely response is received, permitted to rely upon the most recent CREFC^® Reports from such Other Securitization), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan relating to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related Companion Loan Rating Agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, that is processing the related action, as the case may be, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider

-186-  

 

(or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee; provided that certain conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), related Serviced Companion Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to any Mortgage Loan which does not allow the mortgagee discretion in approving a transfer or assumption or does not allow for discretion in determining whether conditions to a transfer or assumption have been satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.08(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision. If such action with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not a Special Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall process the related request and shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, Directing Holder or Operating Advisor.

(b)               As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause that by its terms:

(i)                                   provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

(ii)                                requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor;

then, (A) the Special Servicer shall determine (with respect to (1) a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or, (2) to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision, any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if applicable), and (B) the Master Servicer shall determine (with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision), in each case, in a manner consistent with the

-187-  

 

Servicing Standard, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) grant or waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Holder (or (A)(1) after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and (2) other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (B) during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, upon consultation with the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 6.08), which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Directing Holder of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver or exercise of such rights together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Holder and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that (A) represents at least 2.0% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted as a single Mortgage Loan) based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (C) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, (D) has an LTV Ratio that is equal to or greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (E) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio that is less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable) and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, or (F) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan represents one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in the related Other Securitization (provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of such Other Securitization as to whether such Serviced Companion Loan is one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in such Other Securitization, or if no timely response is received, permitted to rely upon the most recent CREFC® Reports from such Other Securitization), a Rating Agency Confirmation is received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, from each Rating Agency and a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related Companion Loan Rating Agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, that

is processing the related action, as applicable, shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation and Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph or in Section 3.08(a) shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, that is processing the related action, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Property Protection Advance.

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied and there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), shall determine whether conditions to further encumbrance have been satisfied (provided that there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions), or (2) the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which there is no mortgagee discretion in determining whether conditions are satisfied, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.08(b) that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision. If such action with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not a Special Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall process the related request and shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with the Special Servicer, Directing Holder or Operating Advisor.

(c)               Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(d)               Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in

-189-  

 

connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

(e)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to any Mortgage Loan without the consent of the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan without ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Holder (or (i) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof). The Directing Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice along with the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of consent and any additional information the Directing Holder may reasonably request from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that is in the possession of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due on sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Holder in writing within such period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

(f)                Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, makes a determination under Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) hereof that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents, as applicable, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).

Section 3.09        Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a) Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. If the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this

-190-  

 

Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Holder’s and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties’ respective rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Co-Lender Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Property Protection Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Property Protection Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has not determined that such Property Protection Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make an offer on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such offers to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of making an offer at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance.

(b)               The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:

(i)                                  such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

(ii)                                the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

(c)               Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and/or any related Companion Holder, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an Environmental Assessment of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and performed within six (6) months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action, that:

(i)                                  such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

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

The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be withdrawn in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account, including from the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account (such withdrawal to be made from amounts on deposit therein that are otherwise payable on or allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan)); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, except with respect to any Companion Loan and any Environmental Assessment ordered after such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, perform such additional environmental testing at the expense of the Trust as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. With respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer and,

-192-  

 

with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall review and be familiar with the terms and conditions relating to enforcing claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim or action must be taken (including delivering any notices to the insurer and using reasonable efforts to perform any actions required under such policy) under each environmental Insurance Policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests).

(d)               If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no Breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 6 of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 6 of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized, with the consent of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08 (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), with the consent of the Directing Holder at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and ((A) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (B) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Parties , in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Holder as required above, the Certificateholders evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

(e)               The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any Environmental Assessments in electronic format to the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (in each case, other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property

(f)                The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan that is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099A or IRS Form 1099C (or any successor form), all forgiveness of indebtedness and abandonment and foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(g)               The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan (and if applicable, the related Companion Loan) permit such an action.

(h)               The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or any REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.

Section 3.10        Trustee and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that in the case of the payment in full of a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related

-194-

Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage File or such document to the Custodian, or the delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan), was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account (including amounts related to the related Companion Loan) pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.

(c)               Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

With respect to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, on and after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, if pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer submits in a Request for Release delivery to it of the original Note, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Note to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or its designee.

Section 3.11        Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under any related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement). As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan continues to be serviced and administered under this Agreement notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) (and as otherwise provided therein). Except as set forth in the next two (2) sentences, the third paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03, Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof). With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Master Servicer from amounts payable in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, subject to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, or if unpaid after final recovery on the related Mortgage Loan, out of general collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the other Mortgage Loans.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor: (i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) including any related Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement and that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that do not involve a Major Decision and 50% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any

-196-  

 

related Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement and that involve one or more Major Decisions (whether or not processed by the Master Servicer) (including clauses (v), (vii), (x), (xix), (xxi) and (xxiii) of the definition of Major Decisions to the extent processed by the Master Servicer); (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees received on any Mortgage Loans, only for which the Master Servicer is processing the underlying assumption related transaction (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement) (whether or not the consent of the Special Servicer is required) and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fees shall not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement); (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement) which do not involve a Major Decision; (iv) 50% of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees), pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 on any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement) which involve a Major Decision and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have been paid (whether or not processed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including clauses (v), (vii), (x), (xix), (xxi) and (xxii) of the definition of Major Decisions to the extent processed by the Master Servicer); (v) late payment charges and default interest paid by the Mortgagors (that were accrued while the related Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement) were not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), but only to the extent such late payment charges and default interest are not needed to pay interest on Advances or certain additional trust fund expenses incurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or, if provided under the related Co-Lender Agreement, any related Serviced Companion Loan since the Closing Date. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for processing Mortgagor requests, beneficiary statements or demands (to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands are prepared by the Master Servicer), fees in connection with defeasance, if any, and other customary charges, and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds related to the accounts held by the Master Servicer, in each case only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively; (vi) with respect to accounts held by the Master Servicer, 100% of the charges by the Master Servicer collected for checks returned for insufficient funds; and (vii) 100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the related Mortgagors to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands were prepared by the Master Servicer. In addition, the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are (i) not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (2) not charged in lieu of any fee that is otherwise to be split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and (3) only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional

-197-  

 

servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing Account which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor, and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excess and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided that (A) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee shall not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. If the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Master Servicer will nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had charged a fee and the Special Servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Master Servicer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer may waive any or all penalty charges regardless of when they accrued. If the Special Servicer has partially waived penalty charges (part of which accrued prior to the related Special Servicing Transfer Event), any collections in respect of such penalty charge will be shared pro rata by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based on the respective portions of such penalty charges to which each would otherwise have been entitled.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Transferable Servicing Interest; provided, however, that in the event of any resignation or termination of such Master Servicer, all or any portion of the Transferable Servicing Interest may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to obtain a qualified successor master servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.05 and who requires market-rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Servicing Retained

-198-  

 

Fee Rate, and any such assignment of the Transferable Servicing Interest shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction. The Master Servicer shall pay the Transferable Servicing Interest to the holder of the Transferable Servicing Interest at such time and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).

(b)               As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(c)               Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) 100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to (x) any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (y) modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement and that involve one or more Major Decisions pursuant to clauses (v), (vii), (x), (xix), (xxi) and (xxiii) of the definition thereof, to the extent processed by the Special Servicer, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees received on any Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement), only for which the Special Servicer is processing the underlying assumption related transaction, (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees, pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor (x) on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (y) with respect to all Mortgage Loans (including any Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreements, if applicable) (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that involve one or more Major Decisions pursuant to clauses (v), (vii), (x), (xix), (xxi) and (xxiii) of the definition thereof, to the extent processed by the Special Servicer, (iv) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees and 50% of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees) received with respect to all Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Co-Lender Agreement) (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that involve one or more Major Decisions (regardless of

-199-  

 

whether processed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (including clauses (v), (vii), (x) and (xxiii) of the definition of Major Decision) (to the extent processed by the Master Servicer), (v) with respect to accounts held by the Special Servicer, 100% of charges by the Special Servicer collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and (vi) 100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the related Mortgagors to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands were prepared by the Special Servicer, shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d); (ii) beneficiary statement or demands (to the extent such beneficiary statements or demands are prepared by the Special Servicer); (iii) amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds related to the accounts held by the Special Servicer; and (iv) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the applicable REO Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to such Distribution Date). In addition, the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request to the extent such review fees are (i) not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (2) not charged in lieu of any fee that is otherwise to be split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and (3) only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) to be $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to such Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Mortgage

-200-  

 

Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Periodic Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Companion Loan, the Liquidation Fee, Workout Fee and Special Servicing Fees, if any, will be computed as provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement or to the extent such Co-Lender Agreement is silent or refers to this Agreement or indicates such fees are paid in accordance with this Agreement, as provided herein as though such Companion Loan were a Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the applicable REO Account, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

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

-201-

to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had charged a fee and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Master Servicer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer may waive any or all penalty charges regardless of when they accrued. If the Special Servicer has partially waived penalty charges (part of which accrued prior to the related Special Servicing Transfer Event), any collection in respect of such Penalty Charge shall be shared pro rata by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based on the respective portions of such Penalty Charges to which each would otherwise have been entitled.

(d)               In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee for interest on the Property Protection Advances made by any such party with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement) due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust for all interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) hereof (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related trust for all interest on Property Protection Advances reimbursed by such trust to any party under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, which resulted in an additional expense for the Trust, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable and (iii) the Trust for all additional expenses of the Trust (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Penalty Charges (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which shall be payable as additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement) remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan. Any Penalty Charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Penalty Charges with respect to any Companion Loan will be allocated pursuant to the applicable Co-Lender Agreement after payment of all related Advances and interest thereon and additional expenses of the Trust in accordance with this Section 3.11(d).

If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced REO Property and shall be entitled to all

-202-

rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan as Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is still a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan on the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as the Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer were replacing the Special Servicer as the successor Special Servicer with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

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

(e)               With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the same day as the Master Servicer is required to deliver the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package for such Distribution Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, word or excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

(f)                The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

(g)               Pursuant to the CREFC^® License Agreement, CREFC^® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC^® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date) the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property

-203-

Royalty License Fee to CREFC^® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xv) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

Section 3.12        Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a) The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (i) $2,000,000 or more at least once every twelve (12) months and (ii) less than $2,000,000 at least once every twenty-four (24) months, in each case, commencing in the calendar year 2025 (and each Mortgaged Property shall be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2025); provided, however, that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii), provided that, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, such cost shall be payable, subject to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement (i) with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pro rata and pari passu, from the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in accordance with their respective Stated Principal Balances, or (ii) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, first, from the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan and then, from the AB Mortgage Loan (and any Pari Passu Companion Loans, on a pro rata basis) (provided that, with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise modify the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement pursuant to which any amounts collected with respect to the related Whole Loan are allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Pari Passu Companion Loan and the AB Subordinate Companion Loan), in each case, prior to being payable out of general collections. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report has knowledge of and deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, (iii) any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the preparer of such report deems material, (iv) any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection and (v) photographs of each inspected Mortgaged Property. The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver or, if applicable, make available on its website a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, respectively, to the other party, to the Directing Holder ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan),

-204-

any related holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Certificate Administrator and to the Trustee within seven (7) Business Days after the later of (i) the completion of such report or (ii) the Special Servicer’s or the Master Servicer’s, as applicable (or, if earlier, any Sub-Servicer on their behalf), receipt of such report.

(b)               The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly and review from each related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and each Serviced Companion Loan), if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (and each Serviced Companion Loan) documents. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required to request such operating statements or rent rolls more than once if the related Mortgagor is not required to deliver such statements pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation.

Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Special Servicing Transfer Event, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with all prior CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Reports and CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheets for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (including underwritten figures), and the Special Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to its having received all such reports. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall forward, upon request, to the other and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Holder electronically monthly all operating statements and rent rolls received from any Mortgagor from the prior month.

All CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Reports and CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheets shall be maintained by the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), and the Master Servicer shall forward copies thereof (in electronic format and promptly following the initial preparation and each material revision thereof) (i) upon request of any of the following parties, to the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer and, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the related Companion Holder, as applicable, and (ii) upon request of any Rating Agency, to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post all such items to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.

-207-

shall be entitled to conclusively rely, absent manifest error, on the content, completeness, accuracy and compliance with any applicable requirements of Items 1111(h) and 1125 of Regulation AB and Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act as in effect on the Closing Date of the Initial Schedule AL File, Initial Schedule AL Additional File and the Annex A-1 to the Prospectus. The Master Servicer may concurrently with the delivery of the related CREFC^® Schedule AL File, deliver any related Schedule AL Additional File in EDGAR-Compatible Format to the Certificate Administrator. The CREFC^® Schedule AL File and the Schedule AL Additional File shall each be a single file. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall be required to combine multiple CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files, unless, solely with respect to the Master Servicer, multiple Sub-Servicers prepare and submit such CREFC^® Schedule AL Files or Schedule AL Additional Files to the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to review, redact, reconcile, edit or verify the content, completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any CREFC® Schedule AL File or any Schedule AL Additional File.

In the absence of manifest error, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, without investigation or inquiry, any information and reports delivered to it by any third party, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Master Servicer’s reports and the Special Servicer’s reports and any information provided by the Trustee, without any duty or obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate any of the amounts and other information stated therein.

(e)               The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the reports and information required of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c), and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(d). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c). The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(d). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(d) caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

(f)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may

-208-

disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(g)               Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) except with respect to information to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, any Other Certificate Administrator, any Other Servicer and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder, making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s Internet website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any required statements, reports or other information to the Certificate Administrator in an electronic format mutually agreeable to the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may physically deliver a paper copy of any such statement, report or information as a temporary measure due to system problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.

Section 3.13        Access to Certain Information. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Holder and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.

-209-

The failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may each (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on (x) the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X, or (y) execution of a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may refrain from disclosing information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interest of the Certificateholders with respect to a workout or exercise of remedies as to any particular Mortgage Loan.

Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder (or with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that is a Privileged Person identified to the Master Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction, the Master Servicer may provide (or forward electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any Appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan) obtained by the Master Servicer; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Certificateholder and a Privileged Person and will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under the Trust.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

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

In the case of the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee may each rely on (i) an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit P-1B hereto from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder and (ii) an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit P-1D hereto from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s). In the event the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E that such party has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F listing each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder and directing the Certificate Administrator to restrict such Excluded Controlling Class Holder’s access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Upon confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such access has been restricted, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall submit a new Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D to access the information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, except that such Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall not be entitled to access any Excluded Information related to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s) (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)) made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. With respect to any Excluded Information sent for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label such information as “Excluded Information” prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be

-215-

entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Holder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or disclosure of any information relating to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including any related Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan and/or, with respect to any related Excluded Information posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such information was not delivered to the Certificate Administrator in accordance with Section 3.30(a).

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or (D) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

(i)                 None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, servicing operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website; or (z) the Rating Agency confirms in writing that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance with respect to the Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered under this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement to which such Rating Agency is subject) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 information provider’s website that they have access to) other than pursuant to this Section 3.13(i).

-222-

(j)                 The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.13 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and any other party hereto shall not be additional expenses of the Trust, but shall be borne by the applicable party hereto.

Section 3.14        Title to REO Property; REO Account. (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (and thus becomes REO Property), the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, or a separate agent on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holders, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan. REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies for an extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the IRS to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which acquisition occurred will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(b)               The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the applicable REO Account, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of properly identified funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the applicable REO Account when first established and of the new location of the applicable REO Account prior to any change thereof.

-223-

(c)               The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account relating to such REO Property. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer, which shall deposit into the Collection Account (or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the most recently ended Collection Period, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) Business Days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, as applicable, on such date. The Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by the Special Servicer on the day the Master Servicer receives the written accounting as provided in the previous sentence.

(d)               The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the applicable REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(b) or Section 3.14(c).

Section 3.15        Management of REO Property. (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, consent, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holders, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income

-224-

from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s) on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such properly identified funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the applicable REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

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

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

(iii)                        any ground rents in respect of such REO Property, if applicable; and

(iv)                         all costs and expenses necessary to maintain and lease such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and (in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Holder) such Advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances.

(b)               Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i)                              permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

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

(iii)                        authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)                Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

(c)               The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within ninety (90) days of the acquisition date thereof, provided that:

(i)                        the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;

(ii)                     the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an expense of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in light of the nature and locality of the Mortgaged Property;

(iii)                  any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

(iv)                   none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(v)                       the Special Servicer shall be obligated to manage and supervise such Independent Contractor in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

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

(d)               When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b).

-226-

Section 3.16        Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties.  (a) (i) Within thirty (30) days after a Defaulted Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

(ii)                       If any Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan subject to a Co-Lender Agreement is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the other, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Co-Lender Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(iii)                    If any Mortgage Loan not subject to a Co-Lender Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or if the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to a Co-Lender Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis, if and when the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, Certificateholders and any holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, (i) with the consent of the Directing Holder,

-227-

if no Control Termination Event is continuing and (ii) after consulting with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, any related Companion Holder and (other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest offer received from any person for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor, purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at such Purchase Price.

(iv)                   (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which a default is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee, subject to any additional conditions in an applicable Co-Lender Agreement, (based upon updated Appraisals ordered by the Special Servicer and received by the Trustee (or ordered by the Trustee if the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates is an Interested Person)) shall determine the fair price; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if the offer is less than the applicable Purchase Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties, and any such determination by the Trustee shall be binding upon all parties. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Property Protection Advance by the Master Servicer. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance of any such determination, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense

-228-

shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(B)              The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, in consultation with the Directing Holder (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties subject to the limitations on consultation set forth in Section 6.08 and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Co-Lender Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder. In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Co-Lender Agreement), that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender, taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any related Companion Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

(v)                        Unless and until any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.

(b)               (i) (A) The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase

-229-

of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan). The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan), if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Companion Holder, the Certificate Administrator and, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.

(B)              In the absence of any such offer as set forth in subclause (A) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if the offer is less than the applicable Purchase Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(C)              The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer.

-230-

(D)             In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee in connection with making such determination. The reasonable cost of such Independent appraiser or other Independent expert shall be an expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser. The reasonable fees and costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust’s obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.

(ii)                     Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders, in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable) with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(c)               Any sale of a Defaulted Loan or any REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions or authoritative interpretations thereof made or issued subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

(d)               With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a defaulted loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special

-231-

Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the sale price of the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan; 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 Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance of any such determination by the Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person.

(e)               (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan for each applicable Serviced AB Whole Loan will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement. If the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property is purchased by the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be

-232-

subject to this Agreement, the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, any sale of a Serviced AB Whole Loan that is a Defaulted Loan or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 (other than in connection with the purchase of the applicable Serviced AB Whole Loan by the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) shall not include any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan. As a result, any reference in this Section 3.16 to the sale, or determination of fair value, of a Serviced AB Whole Loan that is a Defaulted Loan or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than in connection with the purchase of the applicable Serviced AB Whole Loan by the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) shall be deemed to exclude any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan.

(ii)               Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, any mezzanine lender will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(f)                Unless otherwise provided in a Co-Lender Agreement the sale of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be on a servicing released basis.

(g)               In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has the right to purchase any Companion Loan on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall exercise such right.

Section 3.17        Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(b)                      The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)                        Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans, deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan

-233-

other than an applicable Excluded Loan, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Holder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such collection period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof; provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, and thereafter shall deliver such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider as soon as practical thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v).

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some Classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other Classes of Certificateholders shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that its ability to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances has been compromised, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from

-234-

reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

With respect to any modification or amendment of any Co-Lender Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan (to the extent received), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as applicable, shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider a copy of any such modification or amendment, which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

(d)         With respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), if the related loan documents permit the lender to (but do not require the lender to), at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may not apply such amounts as a prepayment, and will instead continue to hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account, unless not applying those amounts as a prepayment would be a violation of the Servicing Standard. Such amount may be used, if permitted under the loan documents, to defease the loan, or may be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), or for other purpose consistent with the Servicing Standard and the loan documents, upon a subsequent default.

modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and does not involve a Special Servicer Major Decision; provided that if such modification, waiver, amendment or consent is a Master Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent of, or consult with, the Directing Holder and the Operating Advisor as and to the extent provided in Section 6.08. Further, the Master Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan (that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision) without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood that the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is processing and recommending approval of such request) will in accordance with the Servicing Standard provide the Special Servicer with notice of any request for such modification, waiver or amendment, the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis, and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession that may be reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent); provided that such consent shall be deemed given (unless earlier objected to by the Special Servicer) within ten (10) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to make an informed decision with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment; and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan and such Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, the party processing such action shall (1) provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Operating Advisor, each related Other Master Servicer, each related Other Trustee, the Directing Holder ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as an expense of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.11(d)) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, obtain the consent of the Directing Holder, (B) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, consult with the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 and (C) consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, and subject to the Special

-236-

Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) if any such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, without the consent of or consultation with the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, may modify or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

In addition, subject to the next sentence, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer, prior to taking any action with respect to any Special Servicer Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Major Decision), shall refer any request with respect to such Special Servicer Major Decision to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process the request directly or, if mutually agreed to by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer and subject to any fees described herein, the Master Servicer shall (subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer) process such request. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall, with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer) process a request with respect to a Special Servicer Major Decision and the Master Servicer is recommending approval of such request, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to the Special Servicer with all information in the possession of the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer shall be entitled (subject to any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor or any applicable consent or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative or any applicable consultation rights of any related Companion Holder or its representative (as applicable)) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver, amendment or other action that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision; provided that such consent shall be deemed given (unless earlier objected to by the Special Servicer) within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such request and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to make an informed decision with respect to such request. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the Mortgagor under a ground lease where the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the ground lease, and the Special Servicer will determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether to cure any Mortgagor defaults relating to ground leases.

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless

-237-

(i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, obtains a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.18(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision.

(b)               If, and only if, the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which such determination derives from the Special Servicer’s consideration of a Special Servicer Major Decision that is subject to its processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a) of this Agreement) with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer may, but is not required to, agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to (w) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (x) with respect to any Major Decision, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than any applicable Excluded Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the approval of the Directing Holder (or during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Holder), and consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties as provided in (and to the extent required by) Section 6.08 (except that, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, unless the Directing Holder is the Controlling Class Representative, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties shall have no consultation rights regarding the matter); (y) with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, subject to any rights of the holder of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan to consent to such modification, waiver or amendment; and (z)

-238-

additionally, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the rights of the related mezzanine lender, if any, to advise or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Mortgagor of) the LTV Ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

If, following any such release or taking, the LTV Ratio as calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid, the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage).

The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the Maturity Date of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due

-239-

consideration to the remaining term of the Ground Lease and (A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 and (B) to the extent such modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision, after consultation with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to Section 6.08 (in each case, other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is an applicable Excluded Loan), ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.

(c)               Any provision of this Section 3.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this Section 3.18 shall be collected by any Master Servicer or Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(d)               To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.18(a), and Section 6.08), the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 3.08(a) and Section 3.08(b) and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18 or Section 3.20(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision) or the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), (ii) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (iii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund or either Trust REMIC. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(e)               Subject to Section 3.18(c), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which

(f)                All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be in writing, signed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if such guarantor’s signature is required by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

(g)               With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (other than (i) following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) and with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the applicable Companion Holder, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof. With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof, the Master Servicer shall provide written notice of any such modification, waiver or amendment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder (other than following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan), the applicable Companion Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)).

From time to time, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

(h)               (i) Subject to the consent rights and processes set forth in Section 6.08 with respect to Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Companion Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include the Special Servicer’s portion of any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor Mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance,

-242-

including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor Mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations from each Companion Loan Rating Agency; provided, further, however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency or Companion Loan Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance less than $35,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, such reasonable costs shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.20(a) with respect to any such action that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision) reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan, or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any Trust REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations from each Companion Loan Rating Agency.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit VV that are subject to defeasance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller has transferred to a third party or has retained on behalf of itself or an Affiliate the right to establish or designate the successor Mortgagor and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (any such right or obligation, the “Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the

-243-

Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan, which such Mortgage Loan provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides the Master Servicer with written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to the related Mortgage Loan Seller at its address for notices set forth in Section 13.05 below. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to defeasance, if the successor Mortgagor is not designated or formed by the related Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate or successor thereto, the successor Mortgagor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(j)                 If required under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Aggregate Available Funds” and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

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

(ix)                            the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of such Mortgaged Property) together with a description of any adjustments to the valuation of such Mortgaged Property made by the Special Servicer together with an explanation of those adjustments; and

A summary of each Final Asset Status Report shall be provided to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.

If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Holder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing or if the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the disapproval by the Directing Holder (communicated to the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders (taken as a collective whole), the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.19(c) until the Directing Holder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders (taken as a collective whole); provided that, if the Directing Holder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of sixty (60) Business Days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard; provided, however, that such Asset Status Report does not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for the approvals that are specifically required pursuant to Section 6.08. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Holder Approval Process”. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report; provided that such report shall have

-248-

been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.19(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report for an applicable Excluded Loan which includes a Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

No direction or disapproval of the Directing Holder hereunder or under a related Co-Lender Agreement or failure of the Directing Holder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents or approvals) any request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, members, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor after the completion of the Directing Holder Approval Process. In addition, the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is either signed by the Directing Holder or that otherwise includes an indication that such Asset Status Report is deemed approved due to the passage of any required consent or consultation time period or (ii) such other method as reasonably agreed to by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer.

For so long as an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Operating Advisor shall provide comments to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) receipt of such Asset Status Report or (ii) receipt of such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related thereto, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are Holders of the Controlling Class Certificates) and the Companion Holders, as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holders constituted a single lender. The Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder) in connection with the Special Servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report that is provided while an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor (and if no Consultation Termination Event has

-249-

occurred, the Directing Holder), to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Operating Advisor’s and/or Controlling Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of such Companion Loan)). If the Special Servicer determines to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued). The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process.”

During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.19. During the continuance of a Control Termination Event but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder (except with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) shall be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. In addition, during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the Special Servicer shall send the Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor and shall only be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The Special Servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the Operating Advisor or the Directing Holder.

The Special Servicer shall implement the Final Asset Status Report.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, the Special Servicer shall prepare an Asset Status Report for any Serviced AB Whole Loan, upon it becoming a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement and for so long as no AB Control Appraisal Period is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative will have no approval rights over any such Asset Status Report, and the consent or approval rights with respect to such Asset Status Report shall be as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(e)               (i) Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (v) and (vii) of the definition of Special Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall with reasonable

-250-

promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information relating to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to negotiate with the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.

(ii)               During the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon receiving notice of the occurrence of an event described in clause (iv) or (x) of the definition of Special Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall deliver notice thereof to the Operating Advisor at the same time such notice is provided to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above.

(f)                Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any applicable Excluded Loan), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Holder a draft notice that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but shall not include any Privileged Information) (and shall deliver each Asset Status Report with respect to an AB Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period (to the extent approved by the related AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder), to the Directing Holder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft summary, the Directing Holder approves of, or does not disapprove of such draft summary, then the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b). If the Directing Holder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Holder until the Directing Holder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Holder has not approved of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Holder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor. The Special Servicer shall prepare a summary of any Final Asset Status Report related to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the related holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period, which Final Asset Status Report has been approved or deemed approved by the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement (to the extent such Co-Lender Agreement

-251-

requires such approval or deemed approval), and deliver in electronic format notice of such final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).

(g)               No provision of this Section 3.19 shall require the Special Servicer to take or refrain from taking any action because of any proposal, objection or comment by the Operating Advisor or, during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder, or a recommendation of the Operating Advisor or, during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder.

Section 3.20        Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or any successor master servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, as applicable, any successor master servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (viii) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to, (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any

-252-

party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to or (C) to perform other covenants and obligations set forth in such Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. Any successor master servicer hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Special Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

(b)               Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c)               As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the

-253-

requirements of Article XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it (other than any Sub-Servicer retained by it at the request of a Mortgage Loan Seller, which is only removable for cause) at any time it considers removal to be in the best interests of Certificateholders in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d)               In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

(e)               Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.20, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, holders of the Companion Loans serviced hereunder, the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)                The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(g)               Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial

-254-

Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h)               With respect to a Mortgage Loan subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents without the consent of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer’s consent may also be required for certain other servicing decisions as provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Master Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans as required hereby.

Section 3.21        Interest Reserve Account. (a) On the Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in each February and in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator, in respect of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans, shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, an amount equal to one (1) day’s interest on the Stated Principal Balance of the Actual/360 Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs at the related Net Mortgage Rate, to the extent a full Periodic Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive February and January, “Withheld Amounts”).

(b)               On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw, from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit such amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

-255-

or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and no more often than on a monthly basis, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer via telephone available to verbally answer questions from (a) ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder and (b) the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

Section 3.23        Controlling Class Certificateholders, the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties; Certain Rights and Powers of the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties. (a) Each Controlling Class Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the Transfer of any Certificate of a Controlling Class by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit MM attached hereto, the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. The Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor when such Certificateholder is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. To the extent there is only one Controlling Class Certificateholder and it is also the Special Servicer, it shall be the Controlling Class Representative.

On the Closing Date, the initial Controlling Class Representative shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Controlling Class Representative, any successor Controlling Class Representative shall execute and deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Controlling Class Representative. On the Closing Date, each initial Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of any existing Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall execute and deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1H to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Controlling Class Representative, by Certificate Balance, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Controlling Class Certificateholder, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new Controlling Class Representative. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor receives

-256-

written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Controlling Class Representative is no longer designated and (ii) the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or a representative thereof) becomes the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Controlling Class Representative; provided that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class. Additionally, once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a VRR Interest Owner shall have notified the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor, in writing, of the selection of a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(b)               Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties.

(c)               In the event that no Directing Holder has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator and no such entity has been identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Holder is identified, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Directing Holder as the case may be.

(d)               Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Registrar, including names and addresses at the expense of the Trust. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative or Risk Retention Consultation Party or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) LD III SUB XVII LLC shall be the initial Controlling Class Representative and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs and is continuing and (ii) DBNY and CREFI shall be the initial Risk Retention Consultation Parties and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

-257-

Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties.

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

(f)                Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Directing Holder does not have any liability or duties to the Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Directing Holder may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the other Certificateholders; and (v) the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder, to the extent the Controlling Class Representative is the Directing Holder) for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Holder for having so acted.

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

(g)               All requirements of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide notices, reports, statements or other information (including the access to information on a website) to the Directing Holder contained in this Agreement shall also apply to each Companion Holder with respect to information relating to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection (g) shall in any way eliminate the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(h)               Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity and contact information

-258-

of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties and any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder.

(i)                 With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan and any approval and consent rights in this Agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall exercise such rights in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement.

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

(k)               [Reserved].

(l)                 Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include on its statement made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement the identity of the new Controlling Class and (ii) provide to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor notice of such event and the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from DTC being an expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Termination Event, (ii) any Operating Advisor Consultation Event or (iii) any Consultation Termination Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event, an Operating Advisor Consultation Event or a Consultation Termination Event has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this provision.

In the event that a Control Termination Event has occurred due to a reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class in accordance with Section 4.05(a) hereof) to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof.”

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates below 25% of its Original Certificate Balance, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts, such special notice shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred because no Class of Control Eligible Certificates exists where such Class’s aggregate Certificate Balance is at least equal to 25% of the Original Certificate Balance of that Class, in each case without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

With respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder (or, if the Directing Holder is the Controlling Class Representative, any Controlling Class Certificateholder)

-259-

will not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded Loan and a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

Each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an applicable Excluded Loan as to such party.

Section 3.24        Co-Lender Agreements. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Co-Lender Agreement shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the terms and provisions of any Co-Lender Agreement do not affect the right of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor to receive Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees, Certificate Administrator Fees or Operating Advisor Fees that are payable hereunder from amounts allocable to the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to such Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer agrees not to take any action with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt or the related Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, to the extent that the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, is required or permitted to consent to such action. Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Companion Holder and each mezzanine lender or its respective designee has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement to the extent provided for therein. All parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that any AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder will have the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan and shall be entitled to exercise all approval rights of the Directing Holder regarding any Asset Status Report in respect of the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, without regard to the occurrence of any Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent provided for herein and in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(b)               Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for any cost, claim or damage that arises from any entitlement in favor of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender under the related Co-Lender Agreement or conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of any Co-Lender Agreement that may otherwise require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to comply with any instruction or direction the compliance with which requires an Advance that constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with a Co-Lender Agreement constitute an expense to be borne by the Master Servicer or the Special

-260-

Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender unless such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely). As of the Closing Date, the contact information for the Companion Holders and mezzanine lenders is as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable, or as otherwise set forth in Section 13.05. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Controlling Class Representative or consult with a new Risk Retention Consultation Party or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(d) or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, have actual knowledge of the identity and contact information of a new Controlling Class Representative or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder or a new Risk Retention Consultation Party.

(c)               No direction or disapproval of the Companion Holders or any mezzanine lender shall (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC, (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or (c) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(d)               With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative or a Risk Retention Consultation Party hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Holder, the Controlling Class Representative or a Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be permitted to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with the related Companion Holder, as applicable (except to the extent that the Controlling Class Representative or a Risk Retention Consultation Party is the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder). Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required under related Co-Lender Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the related Companion Holder without such consent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver reports and notices to the related Companion Holder as required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(e)               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class

-261-

Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, such Master Servicer or Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the non-binding consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such Master Servicer or Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

(f)                In addition to the consent and non-binding consultation rights of the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Companion Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

(g)               With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement such that the monthly remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than two (2) Business Days after receipt by the Master Servicer of properly identified and available funds constituting the related Periodic Payment without the consent of the Master Servicer.

Section 3.25        Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition

-262-

precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such RAC Requesting Party shall be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again. The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.” Once the RAC Requesting Party has sent a request for a Rating Agency Confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider, such RAC Requesting Party may, but shall not be obligated to, send such request directly to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the procedure and timeframes set forth in Section 13.10(d).

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or with respect to any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) (a) it has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a CMBS transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and (b) it is not a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, that has been publicly cited by Moody’s as having servicing concerns as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities rated by Moody’s in a CMBS transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency.

-263-

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.25(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.25, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral) or release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining or to make a determination with respect to such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to Section 3.25(a) shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist).

(c)               For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed in Section 3.25(a) above, the applicable RAC Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

(d)               With respect to any Companion Loan as to which there exists Serviced Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Mortgage Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property (including, but not limited to, the replacement of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or a Sub-Servicer) (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action will also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Controlling Class Representative or applicable Certificateholders, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, and will be deemed not to apply on or deemed to be waived on, as applicable, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Controlling Class Representative or applicable Certificateholders, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject

-264-

Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterpart (i.e., the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator, if and as applicable), the Rule 17g-5 information provider for the Other Securitization Trust, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Controlling Class Representative or applicable Certificateholders, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization Trust), at the expense of the Other Securitization Trust to the extent not borne by the related Mortgagor, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation at least two (2) Business Days before it is sent to the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

Section 3.26        The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan when it is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (as provided in Section 3.19(d), Section 3.26 and Section 6.08) and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Special Servicer Major Decisions relating to the Mortgage Loans when they are not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and processed by the Special Servicer, (ii) all information made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (iii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer; provided, however, that prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall only be required to review Final Asset Status Reports delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall be required to request the delivery of a Final Asset Status Report to the extent the Operating Advisor has actual knowledge of such Final Asset Status Report.

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

(b)               The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled or as which appears on its face to be “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Holder in connection with the Directing Holder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with this transaction, except under the circumstances described in Section 3.26(g) and subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged

-265-

Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

(c)               (i) Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, any attestation report, any Major Decision Reporting Package and/or Asset Status Report (in each case, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), any Final Asset Status Report and other reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if, at an time during the prior calendar year, (i) any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) the Operating Advisor was entitled to consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision) deliver to the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), that (a) sets forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under this Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Special Servicer Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans in each case processed by the Special Servicer) during the prior calendar year on a “platform-level basis” and (b) identifies (1) which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply and (2) any deviations from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the Special Servicer that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall prepare a separate Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to the Excluded Special Servicer and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) serviced by such Excluded Special Servicer. In preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to (i) report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial and (ii) provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion. Only as used in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to the pool of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor

-266-

Consultation Event, with respect to Special Servicer Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans in each case processed by the Special Servicer) under this Agreement taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report (during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), Final Asset Status Report and other information, in each case, delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Holder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan during the continuance of an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Co-Lender Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(d) hereof, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) with a copy to the Special Servicer; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (A) the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance shall be based on the provisions of this Agreement and (B) so long as LNR Partners, LLC is acting as Special Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC shall provide the Operating Advisor reasonable access, at LNR Partners, LLC’s offices during normal business hours, to LNR Partners, LLC’s policies and procedures. The Operating Advisor shall be permitted to review such policies and procedures but is not permitted to retain hard copies and will not be provided with any electronic copies or soft copies. The Operating Advisor shall keep all information contained in the policies and procedures strictly confidential, except (A) the Operating Advisor may disclose such information if (i) such information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Operating Advisor, or (ii) such disclosure is required by applicable law, order, rule or regulation (as demonstrated by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Special Servicer), and (B) the Operating Advisor may disclose a particular portion of the policies and procedures solely when necessary to support specific conclusions concerning allegations of material deviations from the Servicing Standard and the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report, or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace LNR Partners, LLC as the Special Servicer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share such information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement and

-267-

provided such Affiliates and subcontractors of the Operating Advisor agree in writing prior to their receipt of such information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. The Operating Advisor’s assessment may not take into account (i) the fact that LNR Partners, LLC provided physical access and not via electronic copy to the LNR Partners, LLC written policies and procedures pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the waiver or reduction of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee pursuant to Section 3.26(i) of this Agreement. Nothing set forth herein shall limit or affect the scope of the Operating Advisor’s review in connection with its preparation of the Operating Advisor Annual Report, provided that the Operating Advisor’s access to or reliance upon LNR Partners, LLC’s written policies and procedures shall be subject to the terms of this paragraph. During any period when the Special Servicer is not LNR Partners, LLC or an affiliate of LNR Partners, LLC, the requirements contained in this paragraph shall be null and void.

(ii)               In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver notice of action and information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance hereunder. In the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information.

(d)               For so long as no Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not opine on or take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations (except that if the Operating Advisor discovers a mathematical error contained in such calculations, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer and the Directing Holder of such error).

(e)               (i) After the calculation has been finalized (and if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer) of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information that is reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information and, in the case of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, only to the extent the Master Servicer has provided such information to the Special Servicer), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any

-268-

supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

(ii)               In connection with this Section 3.26(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation in any material respect, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer). In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such third party’s determination (provided such third party has been selected with reasonable care by the Certificate Administrator).

(f)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor review will be limited to an after-the-action review of the reports, calculations and material described above (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the Operating Advisor), and, therefore, it shall have no involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, lockbox management, insurance policies, Mortgagor substitutions, lease changes, additional Mortgagor debt, defeasances, property management changes, releases from escrow, assumptions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement and shall have no obligations at any time with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

With respect to the determination of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Operating Advisor is entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice pursuant to this Agreement (which includes notices posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website), and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor that are performed only after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event.

-269-

(g)               The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled or as which appears on its face to be “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing) the Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan), disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then included in the Control Eligible Certificates, other than the Controlling Class Representative), other than (i) to the extent expressly set forth herein, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (ii) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (iii) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard or the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement (A) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (B) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace the Special Servicer. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Consultation Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any applicable Excluded Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

(h)               Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

(i)                 As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Master Servicer Remittance Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including the Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans but not any Companion Loan) or each REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Operating Advisor Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.04(a) and/or 6.04(b) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a). Each successor Operating Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

-270-

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer processing the Major Decision shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision (taking into account whether or not such fees are provided for in the related loan agreement), but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall have no obligations or consultation rights with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property or (ii) with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of both an AB Control Appraisal Period and a Control Termination Event; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

(j)                 Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Non-Reduced Interests evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Interests requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor (provided that the proposed successor Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor) and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders and the Operating Advisor of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently by mail. Upon the written direction of Holders of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Interests that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Interests exercise their right to vote), the Trustee will terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by written notice to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor will be appointed.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and beneficial owner of Certificates may access any notices posted on the “special notices” and on the “U.S. Risk Retention Special Notices” tabs on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and each Certificateholder and beneficial owner of Certificates may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Certificate Administrator will be entitled to

-271-

reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting notices of such requests.

(k)               After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor Operating Advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. No such termination shall terminate, change, reduce or otherwise modify the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor that accrued prior to such termination, including the rights to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement, and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice of the termination and appointment to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Depositor, the Controlling Class Representative (for any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan and only if no Consultation Termination Event is continuing), the Risk Retention Consultation Parties and the Certificateholders.

(l)                 The Holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event hereunder may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

(m)             Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Controlling Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

(n)               The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations

-272-

Reviewer and the Controlling Class Representative and the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, if applicable, if the Operating Advisor has secured a replacement that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

(o)               In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(i) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

(p)               The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.04, the Operating Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor shall act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to any particular Class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or a “broker” or “dealer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act.

(q)               The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or Subcontractors to the extent such agents or Subcontractors satisfy clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of “Eligible Operating Advisor” and so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or Subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.26. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Operating Advisor shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or Subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Operating Advisor alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(r)                For the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations that involve the same parties or Mortgagors involved in this securitization, any experience or knowledge gained by the Operating Advisor from such other engagements may not be imputed to the Operating Advisor or its employees for this transaction; provided, however, the Operating Advisor may consider such experience or knowledge as pertinent information for discussion with the Special Servicer during its periodic meetings.

Section 3.27        Companion Paying Agent. (a) With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall be the Companion Paying Agent hereunder. The Companion Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(b)               No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Companion Paying Agent from liability for its negligent failure to act, bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that the duties and obligations of the Companion Paying Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Companion Paying Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Companion Paying Agent. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instrument furnished to the Companion Paying Agent by any Person and which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement.

(c)               In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, as the Companion Paying Agent, shall be deemed simultaneously to resign or be removed.

(d)               This Section 3.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Companion Paying Agent, as regards to rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal.

Section 3.28        Companion Register. The Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Companion Register”) with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Companion Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by each Companion Holder. The initial Companion Holders, along with their respective name and address, are listed on Exhibit S hereto. In the event a Companion Holder transfers a Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability for any misdirected payment in such Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

(e)               With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Controlling Class Representative, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, or the Special Servicer (consistent with the Servicing Standard), following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, shall be entitled to exercise any consultation rights held by the holder of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” (or similar term identified in the related Co-Lender Agreement) under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(f)                With respect to the servicing of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, this Agreement is subject to the related Co-Lender Agreement and incorporates by reference all provisions required to be included herein pursuant to such Co-Lender Agreement.

When so posted, the Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall be prohibited from the access of Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligations to separately label and deliver any Excluded Information in accordance with this Section 3.30(a) until such party has received written notice with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan in the form of Exhibit P-1E to this Agreement.

-276-

Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Holder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder on the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information, such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to reasonably request and obtain such information in accordance with Section 3.13(a).

-277-

and either of an Impermissible TPP Affiliate, an Impermissible Operating Advisor Affiliate and an Impermissible Asset Representations Reviewer Affiliate being an “Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate”), such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate shall promptly notify the Retaining Sponsor and the parties to this Agreement and resign in accordance with Section 3.26, Section 6.05, Section 8.07 or Section 12.03, as applicable. The resigning Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency in connection with such resignation as and to the extent required under this Agreement; provided, however, if the affiliation causing an Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate is the result of the Third Party Purchaser acquiring an interest in such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate or an affiliate of such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate, then such costs and expenses will be an expense of the Trust.

Section 3.34        Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.

(a)                             If a Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller”) repurchases the Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is defined in this Section 3.34(a)) (a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase the Mortgage Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 3.34 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 13.01(l), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Mortgage Loan Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 3.34 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 3.34, Section 13.01(l) and Section 13.08(a) only, “Mortgage Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, clause (b) through clause (j) below shall not apply, and the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement shall continue to govern the relationship between the related Mortgage Notes as if each related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable. With respect to any other Joint Mortgage Loan, clause (b) through clause (j) below shall apply to such Joint Mortgage Loan.

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

(i)                All of the Mortgage Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority with each other, and no portion of any Mortgage Note shall have priority or preference over any other portion of the other Mortgage Notes or security therefor.

-278-

Payments from the related Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any Penalty Charges) or any other amounts received with respect to each Mortgage Note shall be collected as provided in this Agreement by the applicable Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by such Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.34(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related Repurchased Note shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share of amounts payable at the Administrative Cost Rate and any other amounts due to the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee by the applicable Master Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement, subject to Section 3.34(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.34 applies becomes an REO Loan, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the applicable Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest, subject to Section 3.34(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section 3.34 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof.

(ii)                           If the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive from such Master Servicer an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Property Protection Advances, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Mortgage Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Mortgage Notes pro rata based upon the respective unpaid principal balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller.

(iii)                        A Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.34 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Whole Loan, (B) the related Mortgage Note(s) not repurchased were (1) a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage Loan (or related Serviced Whole Loan), and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to terminate the applicable Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as servicer, special servicer or operating advisor, respectively, of the related Repurchased Note. All

-279-

rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

(iv)                With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.34 applies, the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder on a pari passu basis. Funds collected by the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of promissory notes comprising Serviced Whole Loans that are pari passu in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid to the applicable Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with respect to each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Repurchased Note were a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the applicable Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any Repurchased Note or, if no related Mortgage Note is part of the Trust, a Property Protection Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the applicable Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder.

(c)               If any non-repurchased Mortgage Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.34 applies is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(d)               If (A) the applicable Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the terms hereof in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with any or all of the applicable Mortgage Notes and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by such Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by such Master Servicer return such amount to such Master Servicer. If such Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by such Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 3.34 applies must be returned to the related Mortgagor or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, and such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly on demand by such Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that such Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, together

-280-

with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Master Servicer may pay to the related Mortgagor or such other person or entity with respect thereto.

(e)               With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.34 applies, subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Directing Holder and any consultation rights of the Operating Advisor), the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Mortgage Loan documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Mortgagor on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 3.34, without the consent of the related Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(f)                In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the applicable Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loans that are not Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and to which this Section 3.34 applies as is consistent with this Agreement and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(g)               If the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a Property Protection Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount equal to such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller’s Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance with interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage Loans or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered, the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery based on its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee’s, the applicable Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s rights to reimbursement under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the total liability of each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not exceed an amount equal to its Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest of the amount to be reimbursed.

-281-

(h)               Each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right to assign the related Repurchased Note; provided that, with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.34 applies, the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(i)                 With respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and to which this Section 3.34 applies, the applicable Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Each Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the applicable Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan; provided that such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided, further, that the applicable Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, without the written consent of the applicable Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller, shall not initiate any action in the name of such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller without indicating its representative capacity or take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes, such Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller to be registered to do business in any state.

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

Section 3.35        Litigation Control. (a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Excluded Special Servicer Loan), any Serviced Companion Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Borrower Party against the Trust (including, without limitation, any action in which both the Trust and the Master Servicer are named), and/or the Special Servicer or any predecessor master servicer or special servicer, and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating

-282-

to the rights and obligations (or enforcement of obligations) of the Trust, or of the Mortgagor or other Borrower Party, under the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, or otherwise with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Loan-Related Litigation”). In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Loan-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Loan-Related Litigation (and regardless of whether the Trust is named in such Loan-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Loan-Related Litigation. The Operating Advisor shall not be required to review the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Loan-Related Litigation unless such review is otherwise related to the performance of the Operating Advisors duties, rights and obligations in respect of a Final Asset Status Report and/or Asset Status Report.

(b)               With respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and to the extent the Master Servicer is named in the Loan-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding subsection, the Master Servicer shall (i) provide quarterly (unless requested in writing from time to time on a more frequent basis) status reports to the Special Servicer regarding such Loan-Related Litigation; provided, however, that nothing in this requirement to deliver a status report shall require or obligate the Master Servicer to provide privileged or confidential information; (ii) use reasonable efforts to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as the Master Servicer remains a party to such lawsuit, consult with, and take direction from, the Special Servicer with respect to material decisions and material monetary settlements related to the interests of the Trust in such Loan-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel. If and/or when the Trust and/or the Special Servicer are named, the Special Servicer shall assume control of the Loan-Related Litigation as provided in Section 3.35(a) above, the Master Servicer shall no longer have the reporting obligations set forth above and the Special Servicer’s selection of counsel shall be subject to the consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further, the Master Servicer shall have the right to engage separate counsel relating to claims against the Master Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.35(e) if there are claims against the Master Servicer.

(c)               The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Loan-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Loan-Related Litigation unless and until (A) it has notified in writing the Directing Holder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and to the extent the identity of the Directing Holder is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Directing Holder) and the related holder of any Serviced Companion Loan (if such matter affects such related Serviced Companion Loan and to the extent the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer) and (B) the Directing Holder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Holder has reasonably

-283-

requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such five (5) Business Day period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided that, if the Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

(d)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.35, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Holder (or any other party to this Agreement) that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any Adverse REMIC Event, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.

(i)                 This Section 3.35 shall not apply in the event, and to the extent that, the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Loan-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

References to Mortgage Loans (including references to Mortgagors, guarantors, obligors and Mortgaged Properties) in this Section 3.35 shall mean Mortgage Loans other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section, this Section shall not apply to any Loan-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at the time such Loan-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Loan-Related Litigation, LNR Partners, LLC is no longer the Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan or has received notice of its replacement as Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (whether or not such replacement is effective) or such related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan in respect of LNR Partners, LLC as Special Servicer, or (ii) the Depositor, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter, or any of their respective affiliates is an adverse party (with respect to the Trust or the Special Servicer) in such Loan-Related Litigation or holds any interest which is adverse to the Trust or the Special Servicer in the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) or the related Mortgaged Property to which Loan-Related Litigation relates, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by each of the Depositor, Sponsor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser, Underwriter, or affiliate that is such a party or holds such interest. In each case under clause (ii) above, the applicable party shall provide notice of such occurrence to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to any Loan-Related Litigation shall be limited solely to the representation of the Trust and itself, separate and apart from the interests of any other party thereto. For the further avoidance of doubt, in such circumstance described in this paragraph, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to litigation shall be as otherwise set forth with respect to servicing in this Agreement.

If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator has reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to DTC based on the receipt of payments as of the Determination Date and additional Periodic Payments, Balloon Payments or unscheduled principal payments are subsequently received by the Master Servicer and required to be part of the Non-VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause DTC to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders solely on the basis of the actions described in the preceding sentence.

(c)               [Reserved].

(d)               On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Realized Losses actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates as provided in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(d), Section 4.01(e), Section 4.01(g) and Section 4.01(j) such that at all times the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates. On each Distribution Date, each

-291-

Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount or VRR Interest Distribution Amount, as applicable, in respect of its Related Certificates or VRR Interest, as applicable, plus a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA1 Uncertificated Interest and Class LA3 Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the and Class LAS Uncertificated Interest, Class LB Uncertificated Interest and Class LC Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LD Uncertificated Interest and Class LE Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-D Certificates, and (iv) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-F Certificates, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates and a Notional Amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(b). Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses, as provided in Section 4.04. The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass-through rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount, and distribution of Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(iii) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (but only to the extent of the Aggregate Available Funds for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).

(e)               On and after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have all been reduced to zero, any amounts representing reimbursements of Non-VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to such Classes, if available, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-S Certificates), pro rata based on their respective Certificate Balances.

(f)                (i) On any Distribution Date, the VRR Percentage of any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date shall be distributed to the VRR Interest Owners, pro rata based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed in respect of the Class RR Certificates and the RR Interest, and the Non-VRR Percentage of any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date shall be distributed to Holders of the Classes of Non-VRR Certificates as follows: (a) pro rata, between (i) the group (“YM Group A”) of the Class A-1, Class A-3 and Class X-A Certificates, (ii) the group (“YM Group B”) of the Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates, (iii) the group of the Class X-D, Class D and Class E Certificates and (iv)

-292-

the group (together with YM Group A, YM Group B and YM Group D, the “YM Groups”) of Class X-F and Class F Certificates based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed to the Holders of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date; and (b) as among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each YM Group in the following manner: (1) the Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Certificates and (z) the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group, and (2) the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group remaining after such distributions to the applicable classes of Principal Balance Certificates will be distributed to the Holders of the Class of Class X Certificates (if any) in such YM Group. If there is more than one Class of Principal Balance Certificates in either YM Group entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Yield Maintenance Charges are distributable to such Class(es) of Certificates, the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges will be allocated among all such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements in those Yield Maintenance Charges in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.

(ii)                        No Yield Maintenance Charges shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. After the Distribution Date on which the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D and Class X-F Certificates and the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Non-VRR Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed pro rata to the Holders of the Class G-RR and Class J-RR Certificates (based on their respective Certificate Balances) and the VRR Percentage of all Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed pro rata to the VRR Interest Owners.

(iii)                     All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates or the VRR Interest on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(i) or Section 4.01(f)(ii) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in respect of each such Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(d) above.

(g)               On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw (i) amounts from the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Non-VRR Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Non-VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date, and (ii) from the

VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the VRR Interest Owners (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all VRR Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to the VRR Interest and unreimbursed after application of the VRR Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account or the VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions or the RR Interest Balance, as applicable. Any amounts remaining (1) in the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be held and applied to offset future Non-VRR Realized Losses with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Non-VRR Realized Losses in each case allocable to the Non-VRR Certificates and (2) in the VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be held and applied to offset future VRR Realized Losses with respect to the VRR Interest. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders from the Lower Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

(h)               All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 4.01(i), Section 4.01(j) and Section 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but, in the case of the Certificates, only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

(i)                 Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates

-294-

(determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

(i)                           the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but, in the case of the Certificates, only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein specified; and

(ii)                        no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such Distribution Date.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(i) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(i).

(j)                 Distributions in reimbursement of Non-VRR Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to the Non-VRR Certificates or the VRR Interest shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(d) or Section 4.01(e) as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class or the VRR Interest Owners otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class or the VRR Interest on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Non-VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the

-295-

Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.

(k)               [Reserved].

(l)                 On the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Companion Paying Agent shall make withdrawals and payments from the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account for each Companion Loan in the following order of priority:

(i)                           to pay to the Master Servicer any amounts transferred to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit into the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account not required to be deposited therein;

(ii)                        to the extent permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement and not otherwise previously reimbursed, to pay the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or any of their directors, officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05, to the extent any such amounts relate solely to a Serviced Whole Loan related to such Companion Loan, and such amounts are to be paid by the related Companion Holder pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement;

(iii)                     to pay all amounts remaining in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account related to such Serviced Companion Loan to the related Companion Holder, in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement; and

(iv)                     to clear and terminate the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

All distributions from the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related Companion Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor appearing on the Companion Register on the related Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information relating thereto is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class mail to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Companion Register). Any such account shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.

On the final Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Collection Account on the immediately preceding Master Servicer Remittance Date.

(b)               [Reserved].

(c)               Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website (in addition to making information available as provided herein) any reports or other information the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to this Agreement, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder or any prospective Certificateholder that has provided the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof (which may be a licensed or registered investment advisor) to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the availability of such information or reports on the Internet or similar electronic media shall not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in this Agreement except as set forth herein. In connection with providing access to the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s Internet

-300-

website, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take reasonable measures to ensure that only such parties listed above may access such information including, without limitation, requiring registration, a confidentiality agreement and acceptance of a disclaimer. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 4.02(c), other than information produced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.

The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Distribution Date Statement required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Non-VRR Realized Losses to the Principal Balance Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04 and VRR Realized Losses to the VRR Interest in accordance with Section 4.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section 4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(d)               Upon the written request of a Certificateholder, any beneficial owner of a Certificate, or any prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is designated by a Certificateholder or a beneficial owner of a Certificate as such and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as soon as reasonably practicable, at the expense of the requesting party, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the requesting party such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such Person, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the

-301-

Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

(e)               The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(f)                Upon the reasonable request of any Excluded Controlling Class Holder identified to the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of such Excluded Controlling Class Holder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder (at the expense of such Excluded Controlling Class Holder) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder through the Certificate Administrator’s Website on account of it constituting Excluded Information) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Holder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that such Directing Holder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

Section 4.03        P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date or (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans, or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii), aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by

-302-

deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for the related Mortgage Loans shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC^® on such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee make a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, then it shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Trustee, Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, of the amount of such P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

(b)               Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date and each Mortgage Loan, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Non-Serviced Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, that were due on the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and delinquent as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the Master Servicer Remittance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

(c)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the

-303-

Special Servicer shall make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that it has made a P&I Advance on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)               In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made with respect to a Mortgage Loan unless the related Periodic Payment is received after the related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection

-304-

Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall make P&I Advances on the basis of the original terms of any Mortgage Loan, including Mortgage Loans subject to forbearance agreements or other temporary deferrals or payment accommodations, unless (a) the terms of the Mortgage Loan have been permanently modified to change or forgive a monetary obligation or (b) such advance has been determined to be non-recoverable.

(e)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, Balloon Payments or any advance with respect to a Periodic Payment with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been assessed with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and the Master Servicer has notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount), the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion, if any, of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this clause (ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

(f)                In no event shall either the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan.

Section 4.04        Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount of any Non-VRR Realized Losses. On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Non-VRR Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write-off shall be allocated first, to the Class J-RR Certificates, then, to the Class G-RR Certificates, then, to the Class F Certificates, then, to the Class E Certificates, then, to the Class D Certificates, then, to the Class C Certificates, then, to the Class B Certificates, then, to the Class A-S Certificates and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1 and Class A-3 Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.

Any allocation of Non-VRR Realized Losses to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Non-VRR Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and

-305-

other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Non-VRR Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b), in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Non-VRR Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates. In the event that the amount of any subsequent recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances is added to the Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount and the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates, the amount of any Non-VRR Realized Losses allocated to such Class will be reduced by the amount of such recovery that was added to the Certificate Balance of such Class.

On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount of any VRR Realized Losses and shall allocate such VRR Realized Losses to the Class RR Certificates by reducing the VRR Interest Balance of such Class. On each Distribution Date, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the VRR Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the VRR Interest Balance the Class RR Certificates that previously were allocated VRR Realized Losses, up to the amount of the unreimbursed VRR Realized Losses allocated to the VRR Interest. Any such allocations or recoveries will be deemed allocated to the Class LRR Uncertificated Interest such that, at all times, the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class RR Certificates will equal the VRR Interest Balance of the Class RR Certificates.

(b)               With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.04(a) shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interest with respect thereto as a write-off.

Section 4.05        Appraisal Reduction Amounts; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to each Class of Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest as described below in this Section 4.05(a). Following receipt from the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan (which notification may be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File or the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package or such report mutually agreed upon between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the

-306-

Controlling Class. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(l). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class, the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, redetermine, calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable request. Upon obtaining knowledge that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer the collateral deficiency amount for the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan (including the collateral deficiency amount allocable to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) calculated by such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement. The Collateral Deficiency Amount for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be (i) the collateral deficiency amount allocable to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that was calculated by such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, if any, or (ii) if such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, only calculated the collateral deficiency amount allocable to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan or a Companion Loan (but did not calculate the collateral deficiency amount allocable to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the amount allocable to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan as determined by the Master Servicer (solely in reliance upon the collateral deficiency amount allocable to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan or a Companion Loan that was calculated by such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable). The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such collateral deficiency amount calculation of the Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, and shall not be responsible for making or verifying such calculation. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to the PSA that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Master Servicer thereof. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer (solely with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Trustee, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator will calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount, other than as set forth above.

For purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Interests, the Controlling Class, the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, and the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a Mortgage Loan shall be allocated as follows: (i) the Non-VRR Percentage of any such Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related

-307-

Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class J-RR Certificates, then, to the Class G-RR Certificates, then, to the Class F Certificates, then, to the Class E Certificates, then, to the Class D Certificates, then, to the Class C Certificates, then, to the Class B Certificates, then, to the Class A-S Certificates, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Class A-1 and Class A-3 Certificates), and (ii) the VRR Percentage of any such Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the VRR Interest, pro rata based on their respective VRR Interest Balances. In addition, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the Non-VRR Percentage of any Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to a Mortgage Loan that is an AB Modified Loan shall be allocated to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class J-RR Certificates, and then, to the Class G-RR Certificates, and finally, to the Class F Certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates will be allocated the Non-VRR Percentage of both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts, as described in this paragraph.

The Appraised Value of any applicable Mortgaged Property is required to be determined on an “as-is” basis for purposes of determining all Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The Special Servicer (in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount and (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount (which notification shall be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File, as to the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template, as to the Collateral Deficiency Amount, included in the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package, which shall be delivered simultaneously with the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.12(d)), and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

(b)               (i) The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates, that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order (or, with respect to a Collateral Deficiency Amount calculation for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the Master Servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). With respect to any such Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such second Appraisal to be (i) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to

-308-

obtain an additional Appraisal). With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

(ii)               Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Master Servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to the extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement and applicable Co-Lender Agreement) and the Special Servicer (for Mortgage Loans other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or the Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is warranted, and if so warranted, such Person shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based on such supplemental Appraisal and (for Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) or Serviced Whole Loans) receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.05(a) or Section 4.05(c). If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, if applicable. In addition, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its Appraised Value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Appraisal to be (i) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class, until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class, (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the next most senior Control Eligible Certificates, if any.

-309-

(c)               With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of the end each 9-month period following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such 9-month period or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and (for Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) or Serviced Whole Loans) receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Holder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Such report shall also be forwarded by the Master Servicer, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan. If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Holder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the nine-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of

-310-

such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer has no knowledge of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount.

The Master Servicer shall deliver electronically to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor; provided, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request.

(d)               Any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount, has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable), and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event is continuing, such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will no longer be subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount and the related Appraisal Reduction Event shall cease to exist. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be calculated by the applicable party under and in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement.

(e)               Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single Mortgage Loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan(s) that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced AB Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Co-Lender Agreement, then, first, to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, pro rata to the related AB Mortgage Loan and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Co-Lender Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances.

Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate Person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: AskMidland@Midlandls.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Holder or a Risk Retention Consultation Party (in its capacity as Risk Retention Consultation Party) as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered.

The Class X Certificates will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Notional Amount of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess of $1,000,000.

(b)               One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or electronic signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Registrar countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

In addition, there shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” and into which the Class RR Certificates shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account for the Holder of the HRR Certificates or to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for the Holders of the Class RR Certificates.

No amounts distributable to the HRR Certificates or the Class RR Certificates shall be remitted to the Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account or the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but shall be remitted directly to the Holder of the applicable Retained Certificates in accordance with written instructions (which shall be in the form of Exhibit C to this Agreement) provided separately by the Holder of the applicable Retained Certificates to the Certificate Administrator.

The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely with no obligation to verify, confirm or otherwise monitor the accuracy of any information included in any written instructions provided in connection with this Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account or the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account and shall have no liability in connection therewith, other than with respect to the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to obtain the Retaining Sponsor’s consent prior to any release of the Retained Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the Definitive Certificates representing the Retained Certificates at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to the Holders of the applicable Retained Certificates of such new location:

After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the Holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a Transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a Transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A

-322-

Book-Entry Certificate (i) during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto given by the Holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) after the Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto from the Transferee to the effect that such Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (an “Investment Representation Letter”) and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such Transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate that is being transferred.

(f)                Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate as to which the Certificate Registrar has received from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate (a “Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification”) to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto from the Holder of a beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, shall be exchanged after the Restricted Period, for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such Holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

-323-

(g)               Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a Holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Class RR or Class R Certificate) wishes at any time, or a Third Party Purchaser wishes, pursuant to Section 5.01(d), to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to Transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such Holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.07 hereof, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such Holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit M hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate), in the form of Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the Transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such Transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled. Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by e-mail to CCTCMBSBondAdmin@computershare.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

(h)               Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a Transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a Transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

(i)                 Other Exchanges. In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of subsections (c) through (f) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such Transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

(j)                 Restricted Period. Prior to the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to the issuance of the Certificates, Transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S

-324-

Book-Entry Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to Transfers made pursuant to the provisions of subsection (e) above.

(k)               If Non-Registered Certificates are issued upon the Transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing a restrictive legend relating to compliance with the Act, or if a request is made to remove such legend on Certificates, the Non-Registered Certificates so issued shall bear the restrictive legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel that neither such legend nor the restrictions on Transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that Transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

(l)                 All Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.

(m)             With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, Transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial Transfer to the Initial Purchasers) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or Transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or Transferee is not and will not be (A) an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) any person acting on behalf of such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan (including within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Certificate, other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company will be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, where the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law). The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, Transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received the representation letter described above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clause (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this Section 5.03(m). Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(m) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

-325-

(n)               No Class R Certificate or any VRR Interest may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or Transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (including within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class R Certificate or any VRR Interest. Each prospective Transferee of a Class R Certificate or any VRR Interest shall deliver to the Transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective Transferee is not a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (including within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation §2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA). Any attempted or purported Transfer in violation of these Transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported Transferee and shall not relieve the Transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates or any VRR Interest.

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

(i)                       Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii)                    No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed Transferee to deliver, and the proposed Transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed Transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed Transferee (A) that such proposed Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed Transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed Transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment

-326-

or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed Transferee will not Transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed Transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed Transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed Transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed Transferee’s statements therein are false.

(iii)                Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed Transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed Transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the Transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the IRS and the Transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the Transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(o)               The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

(p)               (i) At all times during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of the Retained Certificates is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) each of the following, sent to the Certificate Registrar and with a copy to each of the Retaining Sponsor and counsel at the addresses provided in Section 13.05: (A) Exhibit D-5 from the Holder of the applicable Retained Certificates instructing the Certificate Registrar of its intentions to release the Retained Certificates from the Third Party Purchaser Safekeeping Account or the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, as applicable, and to Transfer such Retained Certificate, (B) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3, (C) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4, (D) a W-9 completed by the Transferee

-327-

and (E) wire instructions and contact information of the Transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.03, facilitate the Transfer of the Retained Certificate and reflect the Retained Certificates in the name of the prospective Transferee and shall deliver written confirmation to the Transferee with a copy via email to each of the Retaining Sponsor and Transferor, of such Transfer and the safekeeping of such Retained Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit TT attached hereto.

(ii) After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a Transfer of the Retained Certificates is to be made, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt may conclusively rely upon) each of the following: (A) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-3 and (B) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-4. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Retained Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate with a balance in excess of $0 at any time prior to the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period.

(q)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for such withholding, and the Certificateholders shall be required to provide the Certificate Administrator with such forms and such other information reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Person. Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

(r)                [Reserved].

(s)                [Reserved].

(t)                 Each purchaser of Certificates that is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) or is acting on behalf of or using the assets of an ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the Depositor, the Trust, the Sponsors, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment recommendation or investment advice on which the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the ERISA Plan has relied in connection with the decision to acquire Certificates, and they are not otherwise acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code) to the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates (except where an exemption applies (all of the conditions of which are satisfied) or it would not otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) and (ii) the fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Certificates.

Section 5.04        Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.05        Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective Transferee).

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which information was derived. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon request therefor.

(b)               (i) The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D any written request received in accordance with Section 11.04(a) prior to the Distribution Date to which the Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution

-330-

(c)               The Certificate Administrator, at the expense of the Trust (but only if such amount constitutes “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii)), may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or 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 therewith.

In each case, such vote shall be administered in accordance with the following procedures, unless different procedures are otherwise described herein with respect to a specific vote:

(b)               Any matter submitted to Certificateholders for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed. The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates through the Depository and by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

(c)               In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein.

Once a Holder has cast its vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote deadline. Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient

-331-

portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of Holders of Certificates initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.

(d)               The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote.

Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.09(b) above.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative. No such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 and no such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

The resigning party shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05; provided, however, that rights in respect of indemnification, entitlement to be paid any outstanding servicing or special servicing compensation and entitlement to reimbursement of amounts due, including Advances and interest thereon, will survive such resignation under this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.

Section 6.07        The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer as Certificate Owner. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.

provided that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Holder, a Risk Retention Consultation Party or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Holder, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be), provided that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable provides the Directing Holder (or the Operating Advisor, if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. Similarly, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to any related Mortgaged Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Directing Holder if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate nature of each Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan), and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer is required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any of the foregoing actions during the continuance of a Control Termination

-350-

Event; provided, however, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, if a Control Termination Event is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but shall consult with the Directing Holder in connection with any Major Decision that it is processing or, in the case of the Special Servicer, any Asset Status Report (or any other matter for which the consent of the Directing Holder would have been required or for which the Directing Holder would have the right to direct the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if no Control Termination Event had occurred and was continuing) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Holder in respect of such Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or such other matter). Such consultation will not be binding on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from the Directing Holder within ten (10) days following the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be obligated to consult with the Directing Holder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Holder to respond shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from consulting with the Directing Holder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.

As used in clause (vii) of the definition of “Major Decision”, “performance”, “earn-out”, “holdback” and similar escrows and reserves refers to any escrow or reserve that is taken (in whole or in part) at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan or in connection with any loan modification, the release of which is subject to the satisfaction of specifically identified financial or leasing conditions or the occurrence of a specifically identified event, in each case as set forth in the related loan documents and related to the related Mortgagor or Mortgaged Property.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the applicable Loan-Specific Directing Holder shall, pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement, exercise any consent and consultation rights, and rights to provide direction to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, of the “Directing Holder” with respect to such Mortgage Loan as provided for in this Agreement until the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.08(a), including, without limitation, the first proviso set forth at the conclusion of the second preceding paragraph, (a) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, (b) the Special Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, (c) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Master Servicer Major Decision with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and (d) the Master Servicer shall process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision

-351-

with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed to have the Master Servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent. Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will process such request with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, including the Special Servicer’s consent, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision.

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing, the Directing Holder (subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement) may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by this Section 6.08 may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any advice from the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or a Risk Retention Consultation Party would cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Holder, the Operating Advisor or Risk Retention Consultation Parties, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Holder or the Operating Advisor or a Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

-352-

The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Holder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Holder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Holder may act solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, including the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Holder does not have any duties or liability to the Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Holder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, and that the Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

Each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be protected against any liability to the VRR Interest Owners that appointed such Risk Retention Consultation Party that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties owed to such VRR Interest Owners or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to such VRR Interest Owners. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that each Risk Retention Consultation Party may take actions that favor the interests of the VRR Interest over the Certificates, and that each Risk Retention Consultation Party may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of the Non-VRR Certificates, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party may act solely in the interests of a VRR Interest Owners, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of Non-VRR Certificates, that each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not be liable to any Holder of a Non-VRR Certificate, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of a VRR Interest Owners, and that each Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Holder of a Non-VRR Certificate may take any action whatsoever against a Risk Retention Consultation Party or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement including the Holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement over other Classes of the Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced

-353-

Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan), the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and at any time with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event with respect to any Major Decisions processed by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor promptly after the Special Servicer receives the Directing Holder’s approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package; provided, however, that with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, no Major Decision Reporting Package shall be required to be delivered (and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts not to deliver such Major Decision Reporting Package) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. During the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that is processing the related Major Decision shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor simultaneously with the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written request, as applicable, for the Operating Advisor’s input regarding the related Major Decision (which written request and Major Decision Reporting Package may be delivered in one notice), as set forth under Section 6.08. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall make available to the Operating Advisor a Servicing Officer with the relevant knowledge regarding the Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in

-354-

order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.

In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event is continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision that it is processing (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor that is in possession of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan related to the Controlling Class Representative (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In connection with the Controlling Class Representative or Operating Advisor’s right to consent or consult with respect to a Major Decision, as applicable, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that action is necessary to protect the Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the applicable period for the Operating Advisor or Controlling Class Representative to respond as described in this section, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable.

In addition, (i) for so long as no Consultation Termination Event is continuing, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any applicable Excluded Loan), and (ii) during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any applicable Excluded Loan), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Risk Retention Consultation Parties in connection with any Major Decision that it is processing (and such other

-355-

matters that are subject to consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties pursuant to this Agreement) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Risk Retention Consultation Parties in respect of such Major Decision; provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives no response from a Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 days following the later of (i) the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Risk Retention Consultation Parties related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be obligated to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of a Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, using reasonable efforts to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan.

During the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and shall have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Controlling Class Representative. However, the Controlling Class Representative shall maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder.

From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities and rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or any Servicing Account (if it is the Affected Party), by the Special Servicer to the applicable REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d) (with respect to the Special Servicer), continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances (in the case of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its Affiliates and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.04 notwithstanding any such termination).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, if any Servicer Termination Event has occurred (A) with respect to the Master Servicer that affects the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, and the Master Servicer is not otherwise

-359-

terminated under this Agreement, then the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan or its designees (if the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan is the related Serviced AB Whole Loan Directing Holder) shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to appoint a Sub-Servicer solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan (or if the Mortgage Loan is currently being sub-serviced, to replace the current Sub-Servicer, but only if such original Sub-Servicer is in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement); and (B) the appointment (or replacement) of a Sub-Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, as contemplated in clause (A) above, will in any event be subject to written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the securities issued in connection with any securitization.

(c)               If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix), the Master Servicer shall have a forty-five (45) day period after such notice in which to find a successor master servicer qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.05 and Section 7.02 and to which the Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the Other Trustee appointed under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. Any Special Servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be (without the prior written consent of the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the Person (or Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Any such Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02. Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations from each Companion Loan Rating Agency.

(d)               Subject to the right of the Operating Advisor to recommend the termination of the Special Servicer and recommend a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the right of the Certificateholders to approve the replacement of the Special Servicer with such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), and subject to the rights of the holder of a related AB Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the

-360-

Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d); provided that, with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the ten (10) Business Days’ notice set forth in this Section 7.01(d) shall not apply, and any applicable notice period set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement shall apply to the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder’s right to terminate the Special Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without cause with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement. Upon a termination of the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder (other than with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan) shall appoint a successor special servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency delivers Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

During the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and/or Class RR Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof) of the Principal Balance Certificates and Class RR Certificates on an aggregate basis requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction, (b) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificateholders in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes shall be received within one hundred eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of Holders evidencing at least 75% of a Quorum of Voting Rights or Holders evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Interests on an aggregate basis, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Holders.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholders’ direction to replace the Special Servicer will not apply to any Serviced AB Whole Loan for which the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period.

-361-

An AB Whole Loan Controlling Holder shall have the right, for so long as no AB Control Appraisal Period is continuing, to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to the related AB Whole Loan, so long as (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation; (B) the successor special servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor special servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to any AB Whole Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator; and (C) the Certificate Administrator shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as the Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to any AB Whole Loan, and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, this Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with the terms hereof.

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of a special servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Non-Serviced Special Servicer cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Controlling Class Representative.

If at any time the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (i) the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) the replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Holders as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holders constituted a single lender, then the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written report contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (provided that the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer for any Whole Loan so long as the holder of the related Companion Loan is the Directing Holder under the related Co-Lender Agreement) (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending

-362-

a suggested replacement special servicer (which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer). In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post such notice and report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Voting Rights of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and/or Class RR Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a Quorum (which, for this purpose is the Holders that (A) evidence at least 20% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Principal Balance Certificates and Class RR Certificates on an aggregate basis and (B) consist of at least three (3) Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each other) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to the termination of the Special Servicer and the appointment of a successor special servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee (upon receipt of written confirmation from the Certificate Administrator, if the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are different entities) shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint such successor Special Servicer and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be a Trust Fund expense. In the event that the Certificate Administrator does not receive the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the quorum described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within one hundred eighty (180) days of after the notice is posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. In the event the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), the Directing Holder may not subsequently reappoint such terminated Special Servicer or any Risk Retention Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to an AB Whole Loan so long as the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, is not subject to an AB Control Appraisal Period under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 7.01(d). All costs of any such termination made by the Controlling Class Representative without cause shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.

For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification of the Operating Advisor in Section 6.04 shall include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.04, any action or claim arising from, or relating to, the Operating Advisor’s determination under this Section 7.01(d) (regarding removal of the Special Servicer), or the result of the vote (regarding removal of the Special Servicer).

(e)               The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status

-363-

or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii) or (ix).

(f)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any certificates backed, wholly or partially, by such Serviced Companion Loan, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a Sub-Servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan; provided that such Sub-Servicer meets the eligibility requirements of a successor master servicer as described under Section 6.05 and Section 7.02.

(g)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign as Special Servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement, unless such Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an applicable Excluded Loan. During the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an applicable Excluded Loan, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor or applicable Other Certificate Administrator, the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming an REO Property) with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special

-364-

servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

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

If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an applicable Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

Section 7.02        Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Holder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master

-365-

Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Holder or the holders of Voting Rights, as applicable, evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights, so direct in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) upon receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmations from each Companion Loan Rating Agency, (iii) which appointment has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take applicable action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within ninety (90) days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the

-366-

terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 7.03        Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)               Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(vii), the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders (and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

Section 7.04        Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. A Servicer Termination Event may be waived by Certificateholders evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan only, by the related Serviced Companion Noteholder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i) and clause (ii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes and any Serviced Companion Noteholder affected by such Servicer Termination Event, and (2) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) or clause (xii) of Section 7.01(a) related to Exchange Act reporting may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor and any Serviced Companion Noteholder affected by such Servicer Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, any Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.

-367-

Section 7.05        Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Property Protection Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) hereof to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Property Protection Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Property Protection Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

(c)               No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:

(i)                            Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, and after the curing of all such Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(iii)                       Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, the Certificates or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event which has not been cured, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

(iv)                     Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

In the event of any removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (in any of its capacities) under this Agreement, such removal shall be effective with respect to each of such party’s other capacities hereunder (including, without limitation, such party’s capacities as Trustee, Custodian, Certificate Administrator, Certificate Registrar and 17g-5 Information Provider, as the case may be).

In the event of a resignation of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, in any of their respective capacities, such resignation shall be effective only as to such capacity as designated on the notice of resignation required under this Section 8.07.

If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such

-378-

appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of a co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

(b)               In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

(c)               Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then-separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

(d)               Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(e)               The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.

The Custodian (other than the initial Custodian) shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. The Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of care as would be imposed on the Certificate Administrator hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Certificate Administrator. Upon termination or resignation of the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing requirements. The appointment of one or more Custodians by the Certificate Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Custodian other than the initial

-379-

Custodian. Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions, or may self-insure.

Section 8.12        Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

(i)                            The Trustee is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America;

(ii)                         The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trustee, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Trustee, will not violate the Trustee’s charter and by-laws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets;

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

(iv)                        This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the rights of creditors of national banking associations specifically and (b) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(v)                           The Trustee is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Trustee’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(vi)                        No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Trustee’s knowledge, threatened against the Trustee which would prohibit the Trustee from entering into this Agreement or, in the Trustee’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(vii)                     No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee, or

Section 8.13        Provision of Information to Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer and Special Servicer.

Section 9.01        Termination upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans. Subject to this Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, the Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Certificate Administrator (other than the obligations of the Certificate Administrator to provide for and make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth), the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee, shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator and required hereunder to be so paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the final payment (or related Advance) or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property (as applicable) subject hereto, (ii) the purchase or other liquidation by the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, of all the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to (a) the sum of (1) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Loans) included in the Trust Fund, (2) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, if any, included in the Trust Fund (such Appraisals in clause (a)(2) to be conducted by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser selected by the Master Servicer, and approved by more than 50% of the Voting Rights then outstanding (other than the Controlling Class unless the Controlling Class is the only Class of Certificates then outstanding)) (which approval shall be deemed given unless more than 50% of such Certificateholders object within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice thereof), (3) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer with respect to such termination, unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans and (4) if a Mortgaged Property secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and is an “REO property” under the terms of the related Non-Serviced Pooling Agreement, the pro rata portion of the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property, as determined by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer in accordance with clause (2) above, minus (b) solely in the case where the Master Servicer is exercising such purchase right, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer in respect of such Advances in accordance with Sections 3.03(d) and 4.03(d) and any unpaid Servicing Fees, remaining outstanding and payable solely to the Master Servicer (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer in connection with such purchase) or (iii) so long as the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are no longer outstanding and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero, the voluntary exchange by the Sole Owner of all the outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one (21) years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph

-383-

P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360, as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. In the event that the Sole Owner elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Owner, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Owner or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Owner as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Owner shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates and Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

The obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent (i) its

-384-

related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Trust Fund and (ii) no amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement remain due and owing.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which (A) the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then outstanding Certificates. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates. For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Holder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

-385-

Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders, each Loan-Specific Directing Holder, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.13(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates, or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust will terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein designated.

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates and the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(f) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in each case pursuant to Section 3.04(b), as applicable, and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the VRR Interest and the Class of Regular Certificates so presented, (ii) any remaining amounts of Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Class G-RR and Class J-RR Certificates or the VRR Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(f), and (iii) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable. Amounts transferred from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date, shall be distributed in termination of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest in accordance with Section 4.01(a), Section 4.01(b), Section 4.01(e), Section 4.01(f), and Section 4.01(g), as applicable. Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section 9.01 and Section 4.01(j).

Section 9.02        Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, as applicable, shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, which meet the definition of a “qualified liquidation” in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code:

(i)                            the Certificate Administrator shall specify the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation (which shall be the date of mailing of the notice specified in Section

-386-

9.01) in a statement attached to each of the related Trust REMIC’s final Tax Returns pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1;

(ii)                          during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the related Trust REMIC(s) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, for cash; and

(iii)                      within such 90-day liquidation period and immediately following the making of the final payment on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, the Regular Certificates and the VRR Interest, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (in the case of the Lower-Tier REMIC) and in respect of the Class UR Interest (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC) all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust (if applicable) or the related Trust REMIC(s) shall terminate at that time.

Article X

ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS

Section 10.01    REMIC Administration. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law. Each such election will be made on IRS Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, the Regular Certificates and the VRR Interest are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of Regular Certificates and the VRR Interest shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class UR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC other than the foregoing interests.

(b)               The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” (“Startup Day”) of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)               The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such Trust REMIC and shall represent each such Trust REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any

-387-

REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) of each Trust REMIC.

(d)               The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such Trust REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, however, the Certificate Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by applicable Treasury regulations.

(e)               The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the Transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the IRS, an IRS Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date for each Trust REMIC.

(f)                The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with

-388-

respect to the Trust or any Trust REMIC created hereunder, cause the loss of such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as Qualified Mortgages and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g)               In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the IRS or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) to the Lower-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom, (y) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Non-VRR Realized Losses or VRR Realized Losses, as applicable, arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(d) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates and the VRR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the

-389-

Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

(h)               The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.

(i)                 Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such Trust REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”).

Section 11.02    Succession; Subcontractors. (a) As a condition to the succession to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or to any Sub-Servicer (but only if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant and a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2)) as servicer or Sub-Servicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or such Sub-Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer, the Person removing and replacing the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor), (x) written notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information relating to such successor reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act); provided, however that if disclosing such information prior to such effective date would violate any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Additional Servicer, as the case may be, shall submit such disclosure to the Depositor no later than the first Business Day after the effective date of such succession or appointment.

(b)               Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor or such Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor.

(c)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor, other than an Initial Sub-Servicer in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of such Sub-Servicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator of any such Sub-Servicer and Sub-Servicing Agreement. Other than with respect to the Initial Sub-Servicer, no Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after such written notice is received by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor).

(e)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, in connection with any Sub-Servicer and/or any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, with respect to all matters related to Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall not have any obligation other than to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer to comply with its obligations under such Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)                Any information furnished pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall also be provided to each Other Depositor and each Other Certificate Administrator (to the extent the information relates to a party that services, specially services or is trustee for a Serviced Companion Loan) in the same time frame as set forth in this Section 11.02.

In the case of Forms 10-D, ABS-EE and 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A, Form ABS-EE/A or Form 10-K/A.

-395-

or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D, Form ABS-EE or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 11.16    Certain Matters Regarding Significant Obligors. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) as of the Closing Date (“Significant Obligor”) related to the Trust.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.16, in the event that the Certificate Administrator files a Form 15 Suspension Notification pursuant to Section 11.08 of this Agreement and so long as the Trust is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer shall not be required to fulfill its obligations under this Section 11.16.

Section 11.17    Impact of Cure Period. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof, nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any grace period provided for in such clause (iii); provided that if any such party fails to comply with the requirements of this Article XI by the expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event with respect to such party.

Article XII

THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER

Section 12.01    Asset Review. (a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CREFC^® Delinquent Mortgage Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all

-418-

Certificateholders, the Controlling Class Representative and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XII shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the Certificate Register in the case of Definitive Certificates (and by delivering such notice via the Depository in the case of Book-Entry Certificates). The Certificate Administrator shall include in the Form 10-D relating to the reporting period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following mortgage loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred”. On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver written notice of such information (which may be via e-mail) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR within two (2) Business Days of such determination to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5.0% of the Voting Rights deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within ninety (90) days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (such written direction, the “Asset Review Vote Election”), then upon receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and all Certificateholders and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.09 to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review evidencing at least a majority of the votes casts but in any event at least a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within one hundred fifty (150) days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Controlling Class Representative, the Risk Retention Consultation Parties, and the Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit QQ (which shall be sent via e-mail to TrustAdministrationGroup@computershare.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (and in any case, within two (2) Business Days after such receipt) grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has timely received an Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this

-419-

sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)               (i) Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to the following clauses (1) - (5) for Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to the following clause (6) and (7) for Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days (except with respect to the following clause (7)) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide, or make available, the following materials for each Delinquent Loan (in electronic format) to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, any notice of a Breach of a representation or warranty relating to any Delinquent Loan received by the Asset Representations Reviewer from any other party to this Agreement, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

(1)                     a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(2)                     a copy of an assignment of any related Assignment of Leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(3)                     a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;

(4)                     a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC Financing Statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(5)                     a copy of an assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(6)                     a copy of any notice previously delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or Breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan; and

-420-

(7)       any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that are necessary in connection with the Asset Representations Reviewer’s completion of any Asset Review and that are that are reasonably requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer in the time frame and as otherwise described below.

(ii)                             In addition, in the event that, as part of an Asset Review of any Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials provided to it with respect to such Delinquent Loan are missing any documents that are required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan or which were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that, in either case, are necessary in connection with its completion of any Test in connection with such Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents to the extent they are in its possession; provided that any such notification and/or request shall be in writing, specifically identifying the documents being requested and sent to the notice address for the related party set forth in Section 13.05 of this Agreement. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents from the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, deliver such additional documents only to the extent such documents are in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller.

With respect to any Delinquent Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent any documents required by the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete a Test are missing or have not been received from the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such document(s) from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by a Non-Serviced Master Servicer) or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer (if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by a Non-Serviced Special Servicer).

(iii)                          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”) conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 hereof.

(iv)                         Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence Files posted to the Secure Data Room with respect to a

-421-

Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the Asset Review Standard and the procedures set forth on Exhibit PP-A and Exhibits PP-B (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in Exhibit PP-A or Exhibit PP-B if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

(v)                            The Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (x) the Review Materials or (y) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

(vi)                         The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

(vii)                       In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the extent in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession within ten (10) Business Days upon request described above, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing documents in a preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents shall be deemed to be a failure of such Test (“Preliminary Asset Review Report”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such Preliminary Asset Review Report to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller no later than sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Diligence Files in the Secure Data Room is made available to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator. The Special Servicer, if applicable, may review such Preliminary Asset Review Report and determine whether any information contained in such Preliminary Asset Review Report shall be labeled as “Privileged Information” and thus be excluded from the Asset Review Report and Asset Review Report Summary. If the

-422-

Preliminary Asset Review Report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days from receipt of the Preliminary Asset Review Report (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any information and documents provided or explanations given to support the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be promptly delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to prepare a Preliminary Asset Review Report in the event the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Delinquent Loan.

(viii)                   The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within the later of (x) sixty (60) days after the date on which access to the Diligence Files posted to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator or (y) ten (10) days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Delinquent Loan and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, in the case of BCREI, BCHI in respect of its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), which, in each case, shall be a responsibility of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement.

(ix)                           In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the related Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to this Agreement.

(x)                              Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced

-423-

Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall enforce the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03.

(c)               The Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep any information appropriately labeled or as which appears on its face to be “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep all documents received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an Asset Review that are provided by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential and shall not disclose such documents except (i) for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) if such documents become generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Asset Representations Reviewer, (iii) if it is reasonable and necessary for the Asset Representations Reviewer to disclose such documents or information in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (iv) if such documents or information was already known to the Asset Representations Reviewer and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (v) if the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such document.

(d)               The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (1) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing

-424-

for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(e)               The Asset Representations Reviewer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its asset representations reviewer portfolio, provided that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (A) is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of the asset representations reviewer resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under this Agreement, (B) executes and delivers to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement that contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement and (C) is not a Prohibited Party under this Agreement; (ii) the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation; (iii) the rate at which each of the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated may not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee will be required to provide notice to each party to this Agreement and then will be the successor Asset Representations Reviewer hereunder.

(f)                If any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of a review of representations and warranties “asset review” (as such term or an analogous term is defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) conducted by an “asset representations reviewer” (within the meaning of Item 1101(m) of Regulation AB, and such party, the “Other Asset Representations Reviewer”) pursuant to each Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with each Other Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such asset review by providing such Other Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer, 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.

Section 12.02                Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability. (a) As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00030% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)               Upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to a Delinquent Loan (in such case, a “Subject Loan”) and within sixty (60) days of receipt by the applicable

-425-

Mortgage Loan Seller of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee equal to the sum of (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to such Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000 (ii) $20,000, plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, but less than $40,000,000 or (iii) $25,000, plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”), which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan (or, in the case of a Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller Percentage Interest thereof) shall be paid by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if such Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent, such fee shall become an expense of the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency; provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall remain an obligation of such Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as applicable, shall be required to pursue remedies against the Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the Servicing Standard in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such Mortgage Loan Seller or its insolvency estate.

(c)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent such fee was not already paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Trust for such fees paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

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

Section 12.03                Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer.(a) The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and shall resign if it fails to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer by giving written notice to the other parties to this Agreement. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer will be effective until a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor Asset Representations Reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will bear all costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation and the transfer of its duties.

-426-

Section 12.04                Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Section 12.05                Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. (a) An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)                          any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by Certificateholders having at least 25% of the Voting Rights;

(ii)                       any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

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

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

(v)                        the Asset Representations Reviewer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency,

-427-

readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Asset Representations Reviewer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

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

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

(b)               Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer by mailing such notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a). Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class RR Certificates, on the other, the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class RR Certificates shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the

-428-

termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

(c)               On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 12.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative, the Directing Holder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately resign under Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor asset representations reviewer within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d)               Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Holder and each Rating Agency. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

-431-

(b)               This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

-432-

Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment hereto without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to this Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in this Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

(d)               Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall post a copy of the same to the Certificate Administrator’s Website, deliver a copy of the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post a copy of the same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and Section 3.13(c), as applicable, and thereafter, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Serviced Companion Noteholder, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Underwriters and the Rating Agencies.

(e)               It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 13.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Administrator may prescribe.

(f)                The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 13.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

(g)               The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.01(a) or (c) shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, except that if the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee requests any amendment of this Agreement in furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders, the cost of any Opinion of Counsel required in connection therewith pursuant to Section 13.01(a) or (c) shall be payable out of the Collection Account.

(i)                 To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or Depositor obtains an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 13.01(c) in connection with executing any amendment to this Agreement, such party shall be deemed not to have acted negligently in connection with entering into such amendment for purposes of availing itself of any indemnity provided to such party under this Agreement.

-433-

(j)                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 13.01, any Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates, so long as neither the Depositor nor any of its Affiliates is performing servicing duties with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans.

(k)               This Agreement may not be amended without the consent of any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan if such amendment would materially and adversely affect the rights of such Companion Holder hereunder. With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, in connection with any amendment of this Agreement, the party requesting such amendment shall provide written notice (which may be by e-mail) of such proposed amendment to each Other Depositor (and counsel thereto) and the Other Certificate Administrator of each Other Securitization no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of effectiveness of such amendment, and, on the date of effectiveness of such amendment to this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall provide a copy of such amendment in an EDGAR-compatible format to each Other Depositor (and counsel thereto) and the Other Certificate Administrator of each Other Securitization.

(l)                 In addition, if one but not all of the Mortgage Notes evidencing a Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if the applicable Master Servicer or Special Servicer is requesting such amendment in connection with the fulfillment of its duties under this Agreement, at the expense of the Trust)), without the consent of any Certificateholder, to add or modify provisions relating to the applicable Repurchased Note for purposes of the servicing and administration of such Repurchased Note provided that the amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (obtained at the expense of the Repurchasing Mortgage Loan Seller) with respect to such amendment (or, if no such Rating Agency Confirmation is actually received, by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect). Prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, if one but not all of the Mortgage Notes with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan is repurchased, the terms of Section 3.34 shall govern the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan.

Section 13.02                Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

(b)               For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and

-434-

words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

(c)               The Trustee shall make any filings required under the laws of the state of its place of business required solely by virtue of the fact of the location of the Trustee’s place of business, the costs of which, if any, to be at the Trustee’s expense.

(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

(b)               No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

(c)               No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, any Co-Lender Agreement, any Mortgage Loan or with respect to the Certificates, unless, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice of default, and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, or of the need to institute such suit, action or proceeding on behalf of the Trust and unless also (except in the case of a default by the Trustee) the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing not less than 25% of the related Percentage Interests in such Class shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. The Trustee shall

-435-

be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or hereby. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement or the Certificates to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement or the Certificates, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 13.03(c), each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-1 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-1 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-1-4

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-1-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-1 Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

A-1-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)               adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-1-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-3 Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-3 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-3 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-2-4

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-3 Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

A-2-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)               adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-2-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-A Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-A Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-3-4

Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-3-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-A Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional Amount, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Notional Amount of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

A-3-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                   amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-3-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-B Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-B Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-4-4

Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-4-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-B Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional Amount, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Notional Amount of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(viii)          to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(x)                    to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)                 to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

A-4-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                   amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-4-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-D Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class X-D Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-D Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-5-4

Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-5-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-D Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional Amount, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Notional Amount of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(viii)          to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(x)                    to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)                 to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

A-5-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                   amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-5-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-F Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Notional Amount of the Class X-F Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-F Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-6-4

Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-6-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-F Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Notional Amount, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Notional Amount of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)                      to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(ii)                   to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related Non-Registered Certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(iii)                to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

A-6-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                   amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-6-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-S Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-S Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-7-4

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-7-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-S Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(viii)          to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(ix)                 to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)                    to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)                 to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

A-7-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                   amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-7-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class B Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class B Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class B Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-8-4

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-8-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)                      to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(viii)          to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(ix)                 to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)                    to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)                 to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

A-8-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                      reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                   amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-8-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

CLASS C CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class C Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class C Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class C Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-9-4

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-9-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class C Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)                        to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(ii)                     to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related Non-Registered Certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(iii)                  to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

(vi)                 to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or any holder of a Serviced Companion

(viii)           to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(ix)                   to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)                      to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)                   to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

A-9-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-9-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class D Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class D Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class D Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-10-4

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-10-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class D Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-10-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class E Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class E Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class E Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-11-4

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-11-5

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class E Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)                        to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(vi)                 to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or any holder of a Serviced Companion

(xi)                   to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-11-8

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class F Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class F Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution

A-12-5

Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-12-6

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class F Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(xi)                   to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

A-12-8

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-

A-12-9

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [FOR BOOK ENTRY CERTIFICATES AND SOLELY FOLLOWING THE HRR TRANSFER RESTRICTION PERIOD: CEDE & CO.] [FOR DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES: LD III SUB XVII LLC] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class G-RR Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class G-RR Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

A-13-5

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class G-RR Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in

A-13-6

writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class G-RR Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)                        to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(iii)                  to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

(iv)                 to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust or any Trust REMIC; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

(v)                    to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting Transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

A-13-7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

A-13-8

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the

A-13-9

then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [FOR BOOK ENTRY CERTIFICATES AND SOLELY FOLLOWING THE HRR TRANSFER RESTRICTION PERIOD: CEDE & CO.] [FOR DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES: LD III SUB XVII LLC] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class J-RR Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class J-RR Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

A-14-5

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class J-RR Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Non-VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in

A-14-6

writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class J-RR Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

A-14-8

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the

A-14-9

then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Non-VRR Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [_____] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class R Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Certificate Administrator shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code for each Trust REMIC.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be

A-15-4

held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Each Person who has or acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization, a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or any agent of either (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) (an “Agent”), or a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization, a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or any Agent of

The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

A-15-7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is

A-15-8

less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [________] is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class RR Certificates issued by the Trust created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class RR Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the BENCHMARK 2024-V6 MORTGAGE TRUST Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class RR Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this

A-16-4

Certificate’s pro rata share of the VRR Available Funds to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Realized Losses and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Collection Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.

All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of VRR Realized Losses previously allocated to this Certificate) shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within 6 months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class RR Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in

A-16-5

excess thereof (provided that the Class RR Certificates will be issuable in fractions of $1.00 in order to satisfy Risk Retention Rule percentage requirements), with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.

No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate (other than Definitive Certificates) referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders:

(i)                        to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(v)                    to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting Transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, any Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person;

(vi)                 to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the

expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency;

(viii)           to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as no Control Termination Event is continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Holder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation;

(ix)                   to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website;

(x)                      to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv); or

(xi)                   to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (i) to such extent as would be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Risk Retention Rule, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, or (ii) in the event the Risk Retention Rule or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel; provided that no such modification, elimination or addition may change in any manner the rights or obligations of the Third Party Purchaser under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Credit Risk Retention Compliance Agreements without the consent of the Third Party Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing, in the case of a Class of Certificateholders, in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

A-16-7

of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i)                        reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

(ii)                     reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder, in any such case without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iii)                  adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv)                 change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)                    amend the Servicing Standard without, in each case, the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, receipt of Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency and, if required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified Person in accordance with such amendment will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event under the relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, no amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Non-Serviced Co-Lender Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of such Class, in that order of priority, may, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired and the Notional Amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), the Sole Owner shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer is paid a fee equal to (i) the product of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding

A-16-8

Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) as of the date of the exchange and (z) three, divided by (ii) 360.

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

Re: Transfer of Benchmark 2024-V6 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, on behalf of the holders of Benchmark 2024-V6 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6 (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by [__________] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of [$_____ aggregate [Certificate Balance][Notional Amount]][_____% Percentage Interest] of Class [_____] Certificates (the “Certificate”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:

1.       Check one of the following:^*

☐ The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution that is an “accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the

^* Purchaser must include one of the following two certifications.

Exhibit C-1

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

☐ The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.

2.       The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate) to Institutional Accredited Investors, subject in the case of clause (ii) above to (w) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and (z) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. The Purchaser understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificate only to certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

3.       The Purchaser has reviewed the Prospectus relating to the Registered Certificates (and, with respect to Non-Registered Certificates, the Offering Circular related to such Non-Registered Certificates) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.

4.       The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

Exhibit C-2

5.       The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

6.       The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate or Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

7.       Check one of the following:^**

☐ The Purchaser is a U.S. Tax Person (as defined below) and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).

☐ The Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made on the Certificate. The Purchaser has attached hereto [(i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form, as applicable), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person, (ii) IRS Form W-8IMY (with all appropriate attachments) or (iii)]^*** two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and state that interest and original issue discount on the Certificate and Permitted Investments is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated [IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or]*** IRS Form W-8ECI, [as the case may be,]*** any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.

For purposes of this paragraph 7, “U.S. Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations) or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Tax Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.

^** Each Purchaser must include one of the two alternative certifications.

^*** Does not apply to a transfer of Class R Certificates.

Exhibit C-3

8.       Please make all payments due on the Certificates:^****

☐ (a) by wire transfer to the following account at a bank or entity in New York, New York, having appropriate facilities therefor:

  Bank:  

  ABA #:    

Account #:  

  Attention:    

☐ (b) by mailing a check or draft to the following address:

9.       If the Purchaser is purchasing a Class R Certificate, the Purchaser is not a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), any interest in which is owned, directly or indirectly, through one or more partnerships, trusts or other pass-through entities by a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person.

(ii) a foreign government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

4.       The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

5.       The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

6.       No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

7.       The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

8.       Check the applicable paragraph:

☐                 The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

(i)                the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

(ii)             the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

(iii)          the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related Trust REMIC generates losses.

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b)

Exhibit D-1-2

of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

☐                 The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

(i)                the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

(ii)             at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

(iii)          the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

(iv)         the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

☐                 None of the above.

9.       The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

10.     The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

11.     The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.

12.     The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

Exhibit D-1-3

13.     The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

14.     The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

15.     The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “partnership representative” of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Re: Benchmark 2024-V6 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6, Class R (the “Certificates”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

(1)       No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

(2)       The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

(3)       The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for

Exhibit D-2-1

United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Very truly yours,

Debt Service Coverage Ratio	# Of Loans	Scheduled Balance	% Of Agg. Bal.	WAM²	WAC	Weighted Avg DSCR¹
Totals

(1)	Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The debt service coverage ratio information was provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator has not independently confirmed the accuracy of such information.
(2)	Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date.
(3)	Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut Off Date Balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document. The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the "State" and "Property" stratification tables is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that have been modified into a split loan structure. The "State" and "Property" stratification tables do not include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a "hope note") of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.

(1)	Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The debt service coverage ratio information was provided to the Certificate Administrator by the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator has not independently confirmed the accuracy of such information.
(2)	Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date.
(3)	Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut Off Date Balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document. The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the "State" and "Property" stratification tables is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that have been modified into a split loan structure. The "State" and "Property" stratification tables do not include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a "hope note") of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.

Information provided by each Furnishing Entity is labeled as provided by the specific Furnishing Entity.

Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include the following information (irrespective of its source or form of communication, including information obtained by you through access to this site) that may be furnished to you by or on behalf of a Furnishing Entity in connection with the issuance or monitoring of a rating with respect to the Certificates: (x) all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts, records, agreements, legal documents and other information (such information, the “Evaluation Material”) and (y) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the status thereof; provided, however, that the term Confidential Information shall not include information which:

● was or becomes generally available to the public (including through filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosure in an offering document) other than as a result of a disclosure by you or a NRSRO Representative (as defined below) in violation of this Confidentiality Agreement;

● was or is lawfully obtained by you from a source other than a Furnishing Entity or its representatives that (i) is reasonably believed by you to be under no obligation to maintain the information as confidential and (ii) provides it to you without any obligation to maintain the information as confidential; or

● is independently developed by the NRSRO without reference to any Confidential Information.

Exhibit P-2-3

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to the terms herein, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

● disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

● solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5),post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and

● use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.

Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you

Exhibit P-2-4

agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

Obligation to Return Evaluation Material. Promptly upon written request by or on behalf of the relevant Furnishing Entity, all material or documents, including copies thereof, that contain Evaluation Material will be destroyed or, in your sole discretion, returned to the relevant Furnishing Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement.

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

Exhibit P-2-5

Term. Notwithstanding the termination or cancellation of this Confidentiality Agreement and regardless of whether the NRSRO has provided a credit rating on a Security, your obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will survive indefinitely.

Governing Law. This Confidentiality Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under the Confidentiality Agreement, the relationships of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

Amendments. This Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.

Entire Agreement. This Confidentiality Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and the Furnishing Entities relating to the treatment of Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter reviewed or inspected by you. This agreement supersedes all other understandings and agreements between us relating to such matters; provided, however, that, if the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with another agreement relating to the Confidential Information that specifically states that the terms of such agreement shall supersede, modify or amend the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, then to the extent the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with such agreement, the terms of such agreement shall control notwithstanding acceptance by you of the terms hereof by entry into this website.

Re: Benchmark 2024-V6 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-V6

Mortgage Loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) identified by loan number _____ on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and heretofore secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule by the following names:____________________
       ____________________

Exhibit U-1

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

(a)                          Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

____                a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

____                a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

(b)                         Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

(i)                                The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

(ii)                       The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

(iii)                    The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

(iv)                   The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

(v)                      The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

Exhibit U-2

(vi)                      The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

(vii)                   The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

(viii)                The Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date, (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

(ix)                        The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

(x)                           The Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in

Exhibit U-3

the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

(c)               Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

(d)               Certify that the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

(e)               Agree to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed as of the date captioned above.

GSMC ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (“PSA”), the Asset Representations Reviewer (“Asset Representations Reviewer”) shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in this Exhibit PP-A if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PSA or, solely with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement where GSMC is the Seller (the “GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following Tests:

(A) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g., to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the applicable Test related to such representation and warranty;

(B) With respect to any representation and warranty that includes the examination of an insurance policy or Title Policy, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be permitted to engage a qualified consultant to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

(C) The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under no duty to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion;

(D) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, the “as of” date for the testing of a representation is as of the Closing Date;

(E) Unless otherwise provided in the Test, if there is more than one version of the same document with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the document that will be used by the Asset Representations Reviewer in testing is the document that is dated as of the Closing Date or, if none, the document closest prior to the Closing Date;

(F) With respect to each representation and warranty and its related Test(s), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account any exceptions to such representation and warranty described in the GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and a Test pass shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Test if the sole reason for not satisfying the applicable Test is caused by such exception(s);

Exhibit PP-A-1

(G) Evidence of a failure of a Test could result from (i) an affirmative determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the Test failed to achieve a Test pass, or (ii) a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the documentation included in the Review Materials (after making such request for any missing documents in the manner provided for in the PSA) is not sufficient to perform the Test; and

(H) A determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a Test pass or a Test failure shall not constitute a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of (i) the existence or nonexistence of a Material Defect, or (ii) whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit PP-A, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Delinquent Loan, even if a different set of procedures or Review Materials could produce a different outcome. Notwithstanding the required Tests, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (1) Review Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests subject to the terms of the PSA. If the Asset Representations Reviewer considers Unsolicited Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable Test(s) procedure when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

	1c	Review the MS Servicer Notices for notation of any claim or assertion regarding GSMC not having the full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer the GSMC Mortgage Loan other than the rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan pursuant to a Co-Lender Agreement.

of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained from an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL. The Mortgage Loan documents for each GSMC Mortgage Loan require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the original or then outstanding principal amount of the related GSMC Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan), the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such GSMC Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon. All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under each GSMC Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a Mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related GSMC Mortgage Loan obligates the related mortgagor to maintain (or cause to be maintained) all such insurance and, at such mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the mortgagor’s reasonable cost and expense and to charge such mortgagor for		meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. If so determined, it will be a Test pass.

If so determined, review the seismic engineering study to determine if it has been performed by an architectural or engineering consultant for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake and based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If so determined, it will be a Test pass.	Property condition assessment; Seismic engineering study
	16i	Review the most recent seismic engineering study or Insurance Summary Report (or solely with respect to residential cooperative properties, review the insurance policies and/or certificates of insurance) to determine if the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, and if so, review to determine if earthquake insurance on each Mortgaged Property was obtained. If so determined, determine if the insurer is rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC. The insurance amount should be not less than 100% of the SEL. If so determined with respect to each part of the Test, it will be a Test pass.

CREFI, GACC, BCREI AND BMO ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

 

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (“PSA”), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”); provided, however, the Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials described in this Exhibit PP-B if, and only to the extent, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PSA or, solely with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement where Barclays Capital Real Estate Funding Inc., Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., German American Capital Corporation or Bank of Montreal is the Seller (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following Tests:

(A)                        With respect to any representation and warranty that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g., to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the applicable Test related to such representation and warranty;

(B)                         With respect to any representation and warranty that includes the examination of an insurance policy or Title Policy, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be permitted to engage a qualified consultant to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

(C)                         The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be under no duty to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion.

(D)                         Unless otherwise provided in the Test, the “as of” date for the testing of a representation is as of the Closing Date;

(E)                          Unless otherwise provided in the Test, if there is more than one version of the same document with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the document that will be used by the Asset Representations Reviewer in testing is the document that is dated as of the Closing Date or, if none, the document closest prior to the Closing Date;

(F)                          With respect to each representation and warranty and its related Test(s) the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account any exceptions to such representation and warranty described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to

Exhibit PP-B-1

a Mortgage Loan, and a Test pass shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Test if the sole reason for not satisfying the applicable Test is caused by such exception(s);

(G)                         Evidence of a failure of a Test could result from (i) an affirmative determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the Test failed to achieve a Test pass, or (ii) a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer that the documentation included in the Review Materials (after making such request for any missing documents in the manner provided for in the PSA) is not sufficient to perform the Test; and

(H)                         A determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of a Test pass or a Test failure shall not constitute a determination by the Asset Representations Reviewer of (i) the existence or nonexistence of a Material Defect, or (ii) whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit PP-B, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Delinquent Loan, even if a different set of procedures or Review Materials could produce a different outcome. Notwithstanding the required Tests, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (1) Review Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests subject to the terms of the PSA. If the Asset Representations Reviewer considers Unsolicited Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall take into account such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable Test(s) procedure when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.
