Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2024, between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Certificate Administrator, as Back-Up Advancing Agent, as Paying Agent and as Custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary Statement shall have
the meanings specified in Article I hereof)

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Trust Loan.

The Trust Fund will consist of two REMICs, the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC.” The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Trust Loan and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement (exclusive of Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option and the related distribution accounts), and will issue (i) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests set forth in the table below (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), as classes of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class LR Certificates, as the sole class of residual interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement and will issue (i) the Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C and Class HRR Certificates, each of which represents one or more “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) the Class R Certificates, as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Excess Interest (allocated to the Trust Loan) and distributions thereon, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option and the related distribution accounts shall be held in a trust intended to be reported as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “EC Trust”). The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the EC Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the foregoing characterization of the EC Trust for such tax purposes. In the event that the EC Trust ceases to be treated as a grantor trust and is deemed to have more than one beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the EC Trust will file returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the EC Trust as a partnership (that is not treated as a publicly traded partnership) and this Agreement may be amended to include such provisions as may be required under Subchapter K of the Code. No election will be made by or on behalf of the EC Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the

portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the EC Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of the Trust REMICs. The Class ELP Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership of the portion of the EC Trust containing the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option and the related distribution account. The Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option shall not be assets of any Trust REMIC. Each Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall represent a beneficial ownership interest in the portion of the EC Trust containing the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account. The Excess Interest shall not be assets of any Trust REMIC.

The following table sets forth the designation and Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates) (collectively, the “Corresponding Certificates”), and the corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest (the “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest”) and the Corresponding Component of the Class X Certificates (the “Corresponding Component”) for each Class of Corresponding Certificates and each Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest.

Class of Certificates	Pass-Through Rate	Initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount	Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests⁽¹⁾	Lower-Tier Principal Balance	Corresponding Component
Class A	⁽²⁾	$ 450,000,000	LA	$ 450,000,000	XA
Class X	⁽³⁾	$ 450,000,000	LA	N/A	N/A
Class B	⁽²⁾	$ 116,000,000	LB	$ 116,000,000	N/A
Class C	⁽²⁾	$ 43,400,000	LC	$ 43,400,000	N/A
Class HRR	⁽²⁾	$ 40,600,000	LHRR	$ 40,600,000	N/A

⁽¹⁾

The Lower-Tier Regular Interest and the Component of the Class X Certificates that correspond to any particular Class of Certificates also correspond to each other and, accordingly, constitute the (i) “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest” and (ii) “Corresponding Component” respectively, with respect to each other. The Component Notional Amount for each such Corresponding Component of the Class X Certificates shall at all times equal the then Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest.

⁽²⁾

The Pass-Through Rate on each of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class HRR Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Certificate Interest Accrual Period) will be a per annum rate equal to a per annum rate equal to the Class A Pass-Through Rate, the Class B Pass-Through Rate, the Class C Pass-Through Rate and the Class HRR Pass-Through Rate, respectively.

⁽³⁾

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class X Certificates with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Certificate Interest Accrual Period) will be a per annum rate equal to the Class X Strip Rate. The Class X Certificates will be an interest only regular interest that will accrue interest on a notional balance equal to the Class X Notional Amount.

The initial Certificate Balance of each of the Class R and Class LR Certificates is zero. Additionally, the Class R and Class LR Certificates do not have a Notional Amount. The Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which holders thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Trust Loan and the other assets in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in the event that amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof are subsequently recovered (including, without limitation, after the reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class to zero), such Class may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement.

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Trust Loan (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution

-2-

Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option and the related distribution accounts) to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the Upper-Tier REMIC regular interests, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interests. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention, the parties identifying such ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto and the parties involved will resolve such ambiguities to accomplish the intended result and will, to the extent necessary, rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention, including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 10.08.

EC Trust

Each Class of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class ELP Certificates shall represent a beneficial ownership interest in the EC Trust as described herein. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the EC Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms intending to treat the EC Trust as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the EC Trust (i) to fail to maintain its status as a “grantor trust” under federal income tax law or (ii) to be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.

Each Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be entitled to distributions of Excess Interest collected with respect to the Trust Loan. The Class ELP Certificates will not have a Pass-Through Rate or Certificate Balance, but will be entitled to the right to exercise their Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option.

As of the Cut-off Date, the Trust Loan has a Stated Principal Balance equal to approximately $650,000,000.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the other parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

-77-

to the extent that the Corrected Mortgage Loan (1) became a Specially Serviced Loan under clause (c) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” and no event of default actually occurs, unless the Whole Loan is modified by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Whole Loan subsequently qualifies as a Specially Serviced Loan for a reason other than under clause (c) of the definition thereof, or (2) in connection with the purchase of a Specially Serviced Loan that is subject to mezzanine indebtedness by the holder of any related mezzanine loan within 90 days after the first time that such holder’s option to purchase the Whole Loan becomes exercisable (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, if there are one or more purchase notices that are delivered subsequent to the initial purchase notice, as long as the event that resulted in the first purchase notice (or the preceding purchase notice) has, within the 90-day period from the date the applicable purchase notice was given to such holder of a mezzanine loan, ceased, been cured, been waived by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in writing, or otherwise was no longer in effect during such period, such 90-day period will commence on the date of any subsequent purchase notice given to such holder of a mezzanine loan); provided, however, that even if the purchase occurs before such expiration the Workout Fee shall be payable to the extent paid by, and collected from, the related borrower or the mezzanine lender; provided, further that if the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan only because of an event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” and the related collection of principal and interest is received within three (3) months following the related maturity date as a result of the Whole Loan being refinanced or otherwise repaid in full, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to collect a Workout Fee, but the Special Servicer may collect from the Borrower and retain appropriate fees from the Borrower in connection with such workout (which fees must be (i) reasonable in the context of the commercial mortgage lending industry, (ii) commensurate with the work, if any, performed by the Special Servicer in connection with such refinancing or pay-off, and (iii) substantiated with supporting documentation). The total amount of Workout Fees payable by the Trust with respect to the Corrected Mortgage Loan and with respect to any particular workout (assuming, for the purposes of this calculation, that the Corrected Mortgage Loan continues to perform throughout its term in accordance with the terms of the related workout) shall be reduced by the amount of any and all Offsetting Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation relating to the Corrected Mortgage Loan; provided that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to collect such Workout Fees from the Trust until such time it has been fully paid such reduced amount.

In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the Specially Serviced Loan becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a calculation of the total amount of Workout Fees expected to be payable by the Trust with respect to the Corrected Mortgage Loan throughout its term (which calculation shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer) and the total amount of Offsetting Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer.

Section 1.02 Certain Calculations. Unless otherwise specified herein, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) All calculations of interest with respect to the Whole Loan (and of Advances in respect thereof) provided for herein shall be made on Actual/360 Basis. The Servicing Fee, the

(b) Any Whole Loan payment is deemed to be received on the date such payment is actually received by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates and Prepayment Interest Excess, Principal Prepayments with respect to the Whole Loan are deemed to be received on the date they are applied in accordance with Section 3.01(b) of this Agreement to reduce the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan on which interest accrues.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, any amounts received in respect of the Whole Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing in excess of Monthly Payments shall be applied to Default Interest and other amounts due on the Whole Loan prior to the application to late fees.

(i) as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to the Trust Loan or Whole Loan with respect to Property Advances or Nonrecoverable Advances and unpaid interest at the Advance Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid Additional Trust Fund Expenses with respect to the Whole Loan (including Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees previously paid by the Trust from general collections);

(ii) as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest at the Advance Rate thereon, to the extent previously allocated to principal collections with respect to the Trust Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable;

(iv) to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as a recovery of principal of the Trust Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of the Trust Loan following a default thereunder (or, if the Trust Loan has been liquidated, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance);

(v) as a recovery of (a) accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan to the extent of the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that have occurred under Section 4.07(e) of this Agreement in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts but for such P&I Advances not having been made as a result of a determination that such P&I Advances would have been Nonrecoverable Advances, and (b) Accrued AB Loan Interest (in each of clause (a) and (b), to the extent that collections have not been allocated as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause (v) on earlier dates);

provided that, to the extent required under the REMIC Provisions of the Code, payments or proceeds received with respect to any partial release of the Mortgaged Property (including following a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the Whole Loan exceeds 125% (based solely on the value of real property and excluding personal property and going concern value) must be allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Whole Loan in the manner permitted by such REMIC Provisions.

(f) Collections by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of the REO Property (exclusive of amounts to be allocated to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of the REO Property and exclusive of any amounts payable to the Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement) shall be deemed to be allocated for purposes of collecting amounts due under the Whole Loan in the following order of priority:

(iii) to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan (exclusive of Default Interest and Excess Interest) to the extent of the excess of (A) accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan at the Trust Loan Rate to, but not including, the date of receipt by or on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a full Monthly Payment from the Borrower, through the related Due Date), over (ii) the sum of (1) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to Section 1.02(f)(v) or Section 1.02(e)(v) on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this Section 1.02(f)(iii) that (a)(x) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to any accrued and unpaid interest or (y) was not advanced due to a determination that the related P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, but (in the case of this clause (y)) only up to the amount of interest that (absent such determination of nonrecoverability preventing such P&I Advance

-81-

from being made) would nonetheless not have been advanced because of the reductions in the amount of the related P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that would have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (2) Accrued AB Loan Interest allocable to the Trust Loan;

(iv) to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as a recovery of principal of the Trust Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;

If any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Trust Loan, the value of the Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trust in the Trust Loan hereunder or causes the Trust Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then such Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach,” as the case may be; provided, however, that if any of the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (vii) and (xviii) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement are not delivered as required in the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement and certified as missing pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Agreement, it shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, further, that no Defect (except as provided in the immediately preceding proviso and Defects that cause the Trust Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the Trust Loan, defending any claim asserted by the Borrower or a third party with respect to the Trust Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Trust Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation. The Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not be required to make any such determination absent written notice or direction from Certificateholders in accordance with Section 8.02(a)(iii).

-95-

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trust Loan Seller shall, not later than 90 days from the Trust Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of, and such written demand to take action with respect to, such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (any such 90-day period, the “Initial Resolution Period”), (i) cure the same in all material respects, (ii) repurchase the Trust Loan at an amount equal to the Repurchase Price in conformity with the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement or (iii) indemnify the Trust for losses directly related to such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, subject to receipt of a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such action (or if each Rating Agency waives review or fails to respond to a request for a No Downgrade Confirmation, subject to (y) approval of the Directing Holder so long as a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and (z) consultation with the Directing Holder so long as a Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect (or if the Directing Holder is an Affiliate of the Trust Loan Seller, subject to the approval of the Special Servicer)); provided that if (i) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within the Initial Resolution Period, (ii) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not related to the Trust Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the Trust Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach within the Initial Resolution Period, then the Trust Loan Seller shall have an additional period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such cure or, failing such cure, to repurchase the Trust Loan or indemnify the Trust in respect of losses. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such Material Breach or Material Document Defect would cause the Trust Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then, within 90 days of the date of discovery of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the Trust Loan Seller shall (i) cure the same in all material respects or (ii) repurchase the Trust Loan at an amount equal to the Repurchase Price. Any Breach or Defect that causes the Trust Loan not to be a Qualified Mortgage shall be deemed a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to the Trust Loan shall not be a Material Document Defect.

(f) In connection with any repurchase of the Trust Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, (A) the Custodian (and the Trustee hereby authorizes the Custodian to tender such documents), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the Trust Loan Seller or its designees all portions of the Mortgage File (in the case of the Custodian) and the Servicing File (in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable) (including the original Trust Notes related to the Trust Loan) and other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan possessed by it, upon delivery (i) to each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a trust receipt and (ii) to the Custodian by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a Request for Release and an acknowledgement by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of its receipt of the Repurchase Price from the Trust Loan Seller, (B) each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned without recourse in the form of endorsement or assignment provided to the Custodian by the Trust Loan Seller, as the case may be, to the Trust Loan Seller as shall be necessary to vest in the Trust Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of the Trust Loan Seller’s repurchased interest in the Trust Loan to the extent such ownership was transferred to the Trustee (provided, however, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in furnishing necessary information to the

-96-

extent in its possession to the Trust Loan Seller in connection with the preparation by the Trust Loan Seller of such endorsement or assignment) and (C) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall release, or cause the release of, any escrow payments and reserve funds held by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, or on the Certificate Administrator’s, the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, behalf, in respect of the Trust Loan to the Trust Loan Seller.

(g) The Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the Trust Loan Seller under Section 6 of the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement.

The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the EC Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the foregoing characterization of the EC Trust for such tax purposes. In the event that the EC Trust ceases to be treated as a grantor trust and is deemed to have more than one beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the EC Trust will file returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the EC Trust as a partnership (that is not treated as a publicly traded partnership) and this Agreement may be amended to include such provisions as may be required under Subchapter K of the Code. No election will be made by or on behalf of the EC Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Class ELP Certificates (with respect to the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option) shall represent a beneficial interest in such Class’s entitlements to the portion of the EC Trust containing the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option and the related distribution account. Each Class of Principal Balance Certificates (with respect to Excess Interest) shall each represent a beneficial interest in the portion of the EC Trust containing the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the EC Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of the Trust REMICs.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND

Section 3.01 The Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Special Servicer To Act as Special Servicer; Administration of the Whole Loan. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), each as an independent contractor servicer, shall service and administer the Whole Loan on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee

-105-

(as Trustee for the Certificateholders) and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability for actions and omissions in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof). To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Notes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer of the collectability of the Whole Loan. Subject only to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through one or more Sub-Servicers (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.01, to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement with each Sub-Servicer and to Section 3.02 of this Agreement), to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem consistent with the Servicing Standard and, in its reasonable judgment, in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), including, without limitation, with respect to the Whole Loan to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holder and the Trustee or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien on the Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) any modifications, waivers, consents or amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in the Mortgage File; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Whole Loan and the Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify, amend, waive or otherwise consent to any change of the terms of the Whole Loan except under the circumstances described in Section 3.03, Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 3.24, Section 3.25 and Section 3.26 hereof. The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) shall provide to the Borrower reports required to be provided to it pursuant to the Loan Documents. Subject to Section 3.11 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, upon the receipt of a written request of a Servicing Officer, execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, any powers of attorney (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents (including, but not limited to, other powers of attorney) prepared by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, and necessary or appropriate (as certified in such written request) to enable the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity; provided, however, that in those jurisdictions in which the foregoing requirement would not be legally or procedurally permissible, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide five (5)

-106-

Business Days’ prior written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or provide such prior written notice as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine in its reasonable judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to be reasonably practicable prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding) (and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s written consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity) or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the Notes, the Loan Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, the Master Servicer shall apply any partial Principal Prepayment received on the Whole Loan on a date other than a Due Date to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the date of receipt of such partial Principal Prepayment; provided that the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to apply any total or partial Principal Prepayment received on the Whole Loan on a date following a Due Date but prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the related Servicer Remittance Date to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan as of the Due Date immediately preceding the date of receipt of such total or partial Principal Prepayment. Unless otherwise provided in the Notes, if the Whole Loan is defeased, the Master Servicer shall apply any amounts received on U.S. Treasury obligations pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents to the Stated Principal Balance of and interest on the Whole Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the receipt of such amounts.

(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with third parties with respect to any of its respective obligations hereunder, provided that (i) any such agreement requires the Sub-Servicer to comply in all material respects with all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement, (ii) if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant, any such agreement provides that (x) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements under Section 11.07, Section 11.08 or Section 11.09 of this Agreement applicable to such Sub-Servicer, including the failure to deliver any reports or certificates at the time such report or certification is required under Section 11.07, Section 11.08 or Section 11.09 of this Agreement and (y) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any requirements to deliver any items required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other trust and servicing agreement relating to any other series of certificates offered by the Depositor shall constitute a termination event by such Sub-Servicer upon the occurrence of which the Master Servicer shall (and the Depositor may) immediately terminate the related Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, which termination shall be deemed for cause, (iii) no Sub-Servicer retained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall grant any modification, waiver or amendment to the Whole Loan or foreclose on the Mortgage without the approval of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, which approval shall be given or withheld in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 3.24, Section 3.25 and Section 3.26 (as applicable), (iv) such agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (v) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (vi) shall be terminable if at any time the related Sub-Servicer is a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser and such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB. Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement may

-107-

permit the Sub-Servicer to delegate its duties to agents or Subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or Subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such agent or Subcontractor is a Prohibited Party, if such agent or Subcontractor would be a Servicing Function Participant, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into). Any monies received by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement (other than sub-servicing fees) shall be deemed to be received by the Master Servicer on the date received by such Sub-Servicer.

No party shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a Sub-Servicer that is a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser if such Sub-Servicer would be a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties to this Agreement, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, may conclusively rely upon a representation of any “Initial Sub-Servicer” (as set forth on Exhibit AA) that such Sub-Servicer is not, to its actual knowledge, a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser. If at any time a party to this transaction obtains actual knowledge that such Sub-Servicer is a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB and is a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of a Subsequent Third Party Purchaser, such party shall terminate such Sub-Servicer in accordance with the related Sub- Servicing Agreement.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed by the Trustee (in its sole discretion) if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.02 (it being understood that any such obligations shall be the obligations of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, only).

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Whole Loan involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such Sub-Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Fund, Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights (except as specified below), obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.01(c)(ii) and Section 3.01(d).

Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.01, in no event shall the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor or the Companion Loan Holder bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of the termination of any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d) If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer, or if the Trustee or any successor Special Servicer assumes the obligations of the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee, the

successor Master Servicer or such successor Special Servicer, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01(c). In such event, such successor shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s interest, as applicable, therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to such successor, except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of such successor.

If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, then upon request of such successor, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at its own expense (except in the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 3.22, at the expense of the Certificateholders effecting such termination, as applicable) deliver to such successor all documents and records relating to any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Trust Loan and/or the Companion Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Sub-Servicing Agreement to such successor.

Section 3.02 Liability of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer When Sub-Servicing. Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and any Person acting as Sub-Servicer (or its agents or Subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through any Person acting as Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee (on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder) and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Whole Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Depositor or any other Person acting as Sub-Servicer (or its agents or Subcontractors) to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, alone was servicing and administering the Whole Loan. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any Sub-Servicer providing for indemnification of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, by such Sub-Servicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.

Section 3.03 Collection of Whole Loan Payments. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan) shall use reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Whole Loan, and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability of the Whole Loan. With respect to the Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from the Borrower as required by the Loan Documents and the terms hereof. The Master Servicer shall provide at least 90 days’ notice (with a copy to the Special Servicer) to the Borrower of Balloon Payments coming due. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan) may in their discretion waive any late payment charge or Default Interest in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment or Balloon Payment with respect to the Whole Loan. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Whole Loan as is permitted or required under this Agreement.

Section 3.04 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that is or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. If the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to collect income statements and rent rolls from the Borrower as required by the Loan Documents. The Special Servicer, in the case of an REO Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of the Whole Loan, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to, from time to time, (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect, or, if the Special Servicer, to use reasonable efforts

-110-

to cause the Master Servicer to effect, payment of all such bills with respect to the Mortgaged Property prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the Loan Documents. If the Borrower fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Borrower are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Property Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, that it makes pursuant to this Section 3.04 of this Agreement from amounts received on or in respect of the Whole Loan respecting which such Advance was made or if such Advance has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Property shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Whole Loan so permit.

(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Whole Loan and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the Whole Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the Loan Documents require it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account); provided, however, that in the event the ratings of the financial institution holding such account are downgraded to a ratings level below that of an Eligible Account (except to the extent the Loan Documents require it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account), the Master Servicer shall have 30 Business Days (or such longer time as confirmed by a No Downgrade Confirmation, obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer relating to the Certificates) to transfer such account to an Eligible Account. Escrow Accounts shall be entitled, “KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of COMM 2024-277P Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, the Borrower and the Companion Loan Holder”. Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:

(i) to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Payments for the Mortgage;

(ii) to transfer funds to the Collection Account (or any sub-account thereof) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from

-111-

amounts received with respect to the Whole Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii) for application to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Whole Loan and the Servicing Standard;

(iv) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement or pay-off of the Whole Loan;

(v) to pay from time to time to the Borrower any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the Borrower under law or by the terms of the Loan Documents, or otherwise to the Master Servicer; or

(vi) to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein or to refund amounts to the Borrower determined to be overages.

(c) The Master Servicer shall, as to the Whole Loan (i) maintain accurate records with respect to the 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 and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for (or otherwise confirm) the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and, if the Whole Loan requires the Borrower to escrow for such items, shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment for which it is responsible, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the Loan Documents (or, if the Whole Loan does not require the Borrower to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrower to comply with the requirement of the Mortgage that the Borrower makes 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 Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items). Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall timely make a Property Advance to cover any such item which is not so paid, including any penalties or other charges arising from the Borrower’s failure to timely pay such items.

In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii), (v), (vi), (vii) and (ix) above of this Section 3.05(a) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan but is not an REO Loan, the Special Servicer shall remit such amounts within one Business Day after receipt thereof (except, if such amounts are not properly identified, the Special Servicer shall promptly identify such amounts and shall remit such amounts within one Business Day after such identification) to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with the second paragraph of this Section 3.05 of this Agreement, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to the REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse without recourse or warranty such check to the order of the Master Servicer and shall promptly deliver any such check to the Master Servicer by overnight courier.

In the event the Threshold Cure Holder delivers Threshold Event Collateral in the form of cash collateral, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain in its own name for the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account”) and deposit such Threshold Event Collateral into such account. In addition, any proceeds from a letter of credit delivered as Threshold Event Collateral shall also be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account. The Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account must be an Eligible Account. Upon the Special Servicer’s determination of a Final Recovery Determination, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator of such determination.

Upon such notification, the Master Servicer shall transfer the lesser of (i) all Threshold Event Collateral or (ii) an amount sufficient to pay all amounts due on the Certificates that were not sufficiently covered by the net sale proceeds or net liquidation amounts, including all applied Realized Loss amounts, to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account to reimburse Certificateholders for all Realized Losses after application of all Net Liquidation Proceeds plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other Trust Fund expenses pursuant to Section 4.01.

The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates the Excess Interest Distribution Account as a segregated non-interest bearing reserve account. The Excess Interest Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account. Funds on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be uninvested.

(x) to pay itself, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable to any such Person pursuant to Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement;

(xvi) to withdraw from the Collection Account any sums deposited therein in error and pay such sums to the Persons entitled thereto;

(xxiii) to make remittances each month in an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the Remittance Amount to the Companion Loan Holder in accordance with Section 3.05(h) and in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement, including amounts to be remitted to the Companion Loan Holder or the Companion Loan Servicer Providers under clauses (iii), (v) and (vi); provided that Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of a Companion Loan by the related seller thereof shall be remitted solely to the holder of such Companion Loan, as the case may be, and Liquidation Proceeds relating to the repurchase of the Trust Loan related to the Whole Loan by the Trust Loan Seller shall be remitted solely to the Collection Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Servicer Remittance Date, in no event will the Master Servicer be permitted to make a withdrawal pursuant to clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (x), (xiii), (xv), (xx) or (xxi) above to the extent that, as a result of such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to the withdrawal would be less than the amount of the Required Advance Amount; provided that the Master Servicer shall be permitted to make withdrawals from the Collection Account as specified above in this

-121-

Section 3.06(a) up to an amount that would result in funds remaining in the Collection Account equaling or exceeding the Required Advance Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such withdrawal limitations shall not apply upon (1) the final liquidation of the Whole Loan and/or the REO Property, (2) the final payment of the Whole Loan and release of the Mortgage or (3) the determination that any Advance that would increase the currently unreimbursed Advances in the aggregate would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06(a), any such amounts payable from the Collection Account to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or to itself for which the Master Servicer (or the Back-Up Advancing Agent) is required to advance as an Administrative Advance shall be paid from Administrative Advances therefor deposited into the Collection Account (or deemed deposited into the Collection Account if such payment is advanced by the Master Servicer (or the Back-Up Advancing Agent) directly to the party entitled to such payment).

Upon written request, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator such records and any other information in the possession of the Master Servicer to enable the Certificate Administrator to determine the amounts attributable to the Lower-Tier REMIC.

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

The Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of any federal, state or local taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC.

Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Whole Loan deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, 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 3.06(a) or Section 3.06(b) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period ending on the then-current Determination Date for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed 12 months. If the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing

-122-

Agent makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion to elect to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent 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 Back-Up Advancing Agent shall further be authorized (in its sole discretion) to wait for principal collections on the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance (or portion thereof) until the end of such Collection Period; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall give notice of its election to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), at least 15 days prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Whole Loan unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent has not timely received from the Certificate Administrator information requested by the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall give notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Whole Loan as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall have any liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to each Rating Agency contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this Section 3.06(a) or to comply with the terms of this Section 3.06(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made. If the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it should recover the Nonrecoverable Advances without deferral as described above, then the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Advance Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date. Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods

-123-

shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Advance Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Back-Up Advancing Agent’s, as applicable, election to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Back-Up Advancing Agent’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise). In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be (a) in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to the Master Servicer and (b) in accordance with good faith business judgment, with respect to the Back-Up Advancing Agent, and in each case, none of the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Advancing Agent or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this Section 3.06(a) or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be permitted to reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance.

If the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, is reimbursed out of general collections for any unreimbursed Advances that are determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances (together with any interest accrued and payable thereon at the Advance Rate), then (for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates) such reimbursement and payment of interest shall be deemed to have been made: first, out of the Principal Distribution Amount, which, but for its application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay interest thereon at the Advance Rate, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date and, second, out of other amounts which, but for their application to reimburse a Nonrecoverable Advance and/or to pay interest thereon, would be included in Available Funds for any subsequent Distribution Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to the Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the related Collection Account and remit to the Companion Loan Holder, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, any amounts that represent Late Collections or Principal Prepayments on the Companion Loans or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto (exclusive of any portion of such amount payable or reimbursable to any third party in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement or this Agreement), unless such amount would otherwise be included in the monthly remittance to the holder of the applicable Companion Loan for such month; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit such Late Collections or Principal Prepayments to the applicable Other Servicer within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds.

-124-

If the Master Servicer fails, as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on any Servicer Remittance Date or any other date a remittance is required to be made, to remit to the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Trust Loan) or the Companion Loan Holder (in respect of the Companion Loans) any amounts required to be so remitted hereunder by such date (including any P&I Advance pursuant to Section 4.07), the Master Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Trust Loan) or the Companion Loan Holder (in respect of the Companion Loans), for the account of the Certificate Administrator (in respect of the Trust Loan) or Companion Loan Holder (in respect of the Companion Loans), interest, calculated at the Prime Rate, on such amount(s) not timely remitted, from the time such payment was required to be made (without regard to any grace period) until (but not including) the date such late payment is received by the Certificate Administrator or the Companion Loan Holder, as applicable.

(c) On each Servicer Remittance Date, all net income and gain realized from investment of funds to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

(d) If amounts required to pay the expenses allocable to the Companion Loans exceed amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have sought reimbursement from the Trust Fund with respect to such expenses allocable to the Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall seek (on behalf of the Trust Fund, subject to the Co-Lender Agreement) payment or reimbursement for the pro rata portion of such expenses allocable to the Companion Loans from the Companion Loan Holder or, if a Companion Loan has been deposited into a securitization, out of general collections in the collection account established pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(e) [Reserved.]

(f) The Certificate Administrator, may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account for any of the following purposes (the order set forth below shall not indicate any order of priority), in each case to the extent not previously paid from the Collection Account:

(i) to make deposits of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Prepayment Charges distributable pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, and to make distributions on the Class LR Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement;

(ii) to pay itself an amount equal to all net income and gain realized from investment of funds in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement;

(iii) to recoup any amounts deposited in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in error; and

(iv) to clear and terminate the Lower-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

-125-

(g) The Certificate Administrator, may make withdrawals from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account for any of the following purposes:

(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders (other than Holders of the Class LR Certificates) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 or 9.01 of this Agreement, as applicable;

(ii) to recoup any amounts deposited in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in error; and

(iii) to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

Section 3.07 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO Account, the Lock-Box Accounts, the Cash Collateral Accounts and the Reserve Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Collection Account and the Borrower Accounts (as defined below and subject to the second succeeding sentence)) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any REO Account) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Borrower Accounts and the REO Account (each such account, for purposes of this Section 3.07, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account maintained by it in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any investment of funds on deposit in an Investment Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be documented in writing and shall provide evidence that such investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the case of any Escrow Account, Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account or Reserve Account (the “Borrower Accounts”), the Master Servicer shall act upon the written request of the Borrower or Manager to the extent that the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the Loan Documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the Borrower or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to, but will be entitled to, direct the investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Special Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Borrower or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer) shall:

-126-

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

(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

(b) All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer (except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) the Borrower Accounts, which shall be for the benefit of the Borrower to the extent required under the Loan Documents or applicable law or (ii) the REO Account, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer) and, if held in the Collection Account or REO Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06 or Section 3.15(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer, or with respect to the REO Account, the Special Servicer, shall deposit from its own funds into the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in the Borrower Account immediately upon realization of such loss the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested at the direction of or for the benefit of the Borrower under the terms of the Loan Documents or applicable law; 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 has satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) 30 days prior to such insolvency.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, in either case as a result of an action or inaction of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Trustee takes any such action, (i) the Master Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Master Servicer or (ii) the Special Servicer, if such Permitted Investment was for the benefit of the Special Servicer, shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account, each REO Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any,

-127-

earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account shall be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

Section 3.08 Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) Unless the Whole Loan is an REO Loan, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrower to maintain the following insurance coverage (including identifying the extent to which the Borrower is maintaining insurance coverage and, if the Borrower does not maintain such coverage, the Master Servicer will itself cause such coverage to be maintained with Qualified Insurers) for the Mortgaged Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained by the Borrower under the Loan Documents; provided that:

(i) the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on the Mortgaged Property unless the Trustee has an insurable interest and such insurance policy was (x) in effect at the time of the origination of the Whole Loan, or (y) was required by the Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided that the Master Servicer shall require the Borrower to maintain such insurance in the amount, in the case of clause (x), maintained at origination, and in the case of clause (y), required by the Whole Loan to the extent such amounts are available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee has an insurable interest;

(ii) if and to the extent that the Loan Documents grants the lender thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance provider from whom the Borrower is to obtain the requisite insurance coverage, the Master Servicer shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) require the Borrower to obtain the requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers;

(iii) the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrower to maintain the insurance required to be maintained under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that this clause shall not limit the Master Servicer’s obligation to obtain and maintain a force-placed insurance policy, as provided herein;

(iv) except as provided below (including under clause (vi) below), in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage to the extent that the failure of the Borrower to maintain insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer);

(v) to the extent that the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower does not maintain, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis at commercially reasonable rates, and only to the extent the Trustee as lender has an insurable interest thereon; and

-128-

(vi) any explicit terrorism insurance requirements contained in the Loan Documents shall be enforced by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, unless the Special Servicer has consented to a waiver (including a waiver to permit the Master Servicer to accept insurance that does not comply with specific requirements contained in the Loan Documents) in writing of that provision in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of such waiver.

The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the Borrower has failed to maintain insurance required under the Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or if the Borrower has notified the Master Servicer in writing that the Borrower does not intend to maintain such insurance and that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders.

If the Mortgaged Property is an REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain (subject to the right of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer to make a Property Advance for the costs associated with coverage that the Special Servicer determines to maintain, in which case the Master Servicer shall make such Property Advance) insurance with respect to such REO Property of the types and in the amounts as the Borrower is required to maintain with respect to the Mortgaged Properties referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 3.08(a); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage described in this paragraph beyond what is reasonably available at commercially reasonable rates and consistent with the Servicing Standard.

All such insurance policies maintained as described above shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder), or shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (on behalf of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder) (in the case of insurance maintained if the Mortgaged Property is an REO Property). Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the Borrower, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of the Whole Loan, or in the REO Account of the Special Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.15 of this Agreement, in the case of amounts received in respect of the REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Loan Agreement may so permit; provided, however, that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund to enforce any obligations of the Borrower under the Whole Loan. Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining insurance policies in respect of the Whole Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan (other than the REO

-129-

Property) (i) if the Borrower defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and will be charged to the Borrower and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Whole Loan may so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance policies with respect to the REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust Fund (allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement) payable out of the REO Account or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or paid from the Collection Account if the Master Servicer determines such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, subject to Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement).

(b) If either:

(x) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer obtains and maintains, or causes to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy (i) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer, and (ii) provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, or

(y) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts that are rated not lower than “A3” by Moody’s and “A(low)” by Morningstar DBRS, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer self-insures for its obligation to maintain the individual policies otherwise required,

then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable.

Such a blanket or master force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, that maintains such policy shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the Mortgaged Property or REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account, from its own funds, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or master force-placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Whole Loan (or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which is consistent with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder claims under any such blanket or master force-placed policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes the Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to the Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Advance.

-130-

(c) If the Whole Loan is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, and the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. If the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan and is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, such Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.

(d) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A3” by Moody’s and “A(low)” by Morningstar DBRS (if then rated by Morningstar DBRS), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the fidelity bond coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with their servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent if such insurance is guaranteed by its parent) or the Special Servicer (or its

-131-

corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A3” by Moody’s and at least its equivalent by Morningstar DBRS (if then rated by Morningstar DBRS), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

(e) 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, with a Qualified Insurer, covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

Section 3.09 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions. (a) If the Whole Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause (including, without limitation, sales or transfers of the Mortgaged Property (in full or part) or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners), which by its terms:

(i) provides that the Whole Loan will (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower or its owners),

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

(iii) provides that the Whole Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, for so long as the Trust Loan is included in the Trust Fund, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan), as applicable, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall be required to enforce any such due-on-sale clauses and in connection therewith neither shall be required to (x) accelerate payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to such an assumption if (1) such provision is not enforceable under applicable law or if the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, and with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), as applicable, determines, that the enforcement of such provision is reasonably likely to result in meritorious legal action by the Borrower or (2) the Master Servicer (with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, on a present value basis (discounting at the related Calculation Rate), than would enforcement of such clause. If the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), as applicable, determines that (A) granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, (B) such provision is not legally enforceable, or (C) that the conditions

-132-

described in clause (a)(iii) above relating to the assumption or transfer of the Whole Loan have been satisfied, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan) is authorized to take or enter into an assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed, and to release the original Borrower from liability upon the Whole Loan and substitute the new borrower as obligor thereon; provided that (a) the credit status of the prospective new borrower is in compliance with the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s servicing standards and criteria and the terms of the Mortgage and consistent with the Servicing Standard and (b) the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan), as applicable, has received a No Downgrade Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (or has been deemed to satisfy such requirement). In addition, with respect to the Companion Loans, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive any rights under a due on sale clause unless it first obtains a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to the Companion Loan Securities to the extent required under the related Other Securitization Trust. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the master servicer and/or the special servicer of the related Other Securitization Trust to determine whether a No Downgrade Confirmation is required with respect to any related Companion Loan under such Other Securitization Trust. In connection with each such assumption or substitution entered into by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall give prior notice thereof to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of the Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not otherwise precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) shall approve an assumption or substitution without requiring the Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such assumption or substitution. However, in the event that the Borrower is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund; provided that, with respect to the Companion Loans, the Master Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holder and (ii) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to exercise on behalf of the Trust Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the Co-Lender Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans from the Companion Loan Holder.

(b) If the Whole Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which by its terms:

-133-

(i) provides that the Whole Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the Borrower (including, unless specifically permitted, any additional mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners),

(ii) requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, any additional mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners), or

(iii) provides that the Mortgaged Property may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee (including, without limitation, any additional mezzanine financing of the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in the Borrower or its owners), provided that certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, subject to the consent rights of the Directing Holder during a Subordinate Control Period, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall be required to enforce such due-on-encumbrance clauses and in connection therewith, will not be required to (i) accelerate the payments on the Whole Loan or (ii) withhold its consent to such lien or encumbrance, if the Master Servicer (with the consent of the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (x) determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such enforcement would not be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, or that in the case of the circumstances described in clause (b)(iii) above, that the conditions to further encumbrance have been satisfied and (y) receives a No Downgrade Confirmation from the Rating Agencies (or has been deemed to satisfy such requirement). In addition, with respect to the Companion Loans, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall waive any rights under a due on encumbrance clause unless it first obtains a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to the related Companion Loan Securities to the extent required under each related Other Securitization Trust. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the master servicer and/or the special servicer of the Other Securitization Trusts to determine whether a No Downgrade Confirmation is required with respect to a Companion Loan under the related Other Securitization Trust. To the extent not otherwise precluded by the Loan Documents, neither the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and with the consent of the Special Servicer) nor the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan) shall approve such lien or encumbrance without requiring the Borrower to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such lien or encumbrance. However, in the event that the Borrower is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund; provided that the Master Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), shall be required, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, to (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holder and (ii) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to exercise on behalf of the Trust

-134-

Fund the rights of the Trust Fund under the Co-Lender Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans from the Companion Loan Holder.

(d) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall each provide copies of any waivers it effects pursuant to Section 3.09(a) or (b) of this Agreement to the other party and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) with respect to the Trust Loan.

(e) Nothing in this Section 3.09 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of the Trust Loan, any sale or other transfer of the Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

(f) In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of the Whole Loan or the Notes, other than pursuant to Section 3.26 hereof, as applicable.

(g) When the Special Servicer’s consent is requested under this Section 3.09, such consent shall be deemed given 15 Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such proposed action together with such other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer.

(h) If the Whole Loan permits release of the Mortgaged Property through defeasance:

(i) subject to the consent rights and process set forth in Section 6.09 with respect to Major Decisions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of the Whole Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto;

(ii) if the Whole Loan requires that the lender purchase the required government securities, then the Master Servicer shall purchase, or shall cause the purchase of, such obligations on behalf of the Trust, at the Borrower’s expense, in accordance with the terms of the Whole Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the Borrower to effect defeasance until acceptable government securities have been identified;

(iii) to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require the Borrower to provide an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee has a first priority perfected security interest in the

-135-

defeasance collateral (including the government securities) and the assignment of the defeasance collateral is valid and enforceable;

(iv) to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall require a certificate at the Borrower’s expense from an Independent certified public accountant certifying to the effect that the government securities will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on the Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Loan Documents;

(v) prior to permitting release of the Mortgaged Property through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions; provided that to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, the Borrower shall pay the cost related to the Opinion of Counsel (and shall otherwise be a Property Advance);

(vi) no defeasance shall occur on or prior to the second anniversary of the Startup Day of the Trust REMICs or if any Companion Loan is held by a REMIC, on or prior to the second anniversary of the startup day of such REMIC;

(vii) the Master Servicer shall, at the expense of the Borrower (to the extent not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents), cause the U.S. government securities to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, and apply payments of principal and interest received on the government obligations in respect of the defeased Whole Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;

(viii) the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, enforce provisions in the Whole Loan requiring the Borrower to pay all reasonable expenses associated with a defeasance;

(ix) to the extent not inconsistent with the Whole Loan, or to the extent the Loan Documents provide the lender with discretion, the Master Servicer shall require a single purpose entity, formed solely for the purpose of owning and pledging the government securities related to the Whole Loan, to act as a successor borrower;

(x) each Rating Agency and, to the extent required by the Other Securitization Trust, each rating agency relating to any Companion Loan Securities must provide a No Downgrade Confirmation; and

(xi) 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 the Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Whole Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount, and not as a prepayment of the Whole Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the

-136-

Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days.

(i) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit a “Permitted Transfer” (as defined under the Loan Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement unless is has first obtained a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to such assumption and relating to the Certificates.

Section 3.10 Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loan. (a) Contemporaneously with the earliest of (i) the effective date of any (A) modification of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date, the Whole Loan Rate, principal balance or amortization terms of the Whole Loan, (B) extension of the Maturity Date or extended Maturity Date of the Whole Loan as described below in Section 3.26 of this Agreement, or (C) consent to the release of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage other than pursuant to the terms of the Whole Loan, (ii) the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and (iii) a default in the payment of a Balloon Payment for which an extension is not granted, the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain an Updated Appraisal (or a letter update for an existing appraisal which is less than two years old) within 60 days of such event, the cost of which shall constitute a Property Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an Updated Appraisal pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to the Mortgaged Property for which there exists an Appraisal or Updated Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of a material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Appraisal or Updated Appraisal. For so long as the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall obtain letter updates to an Updated Appraisal every nine months. The Master Servicer shall use all Updated Appraisals obtained by the Special Servicer to calculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount. Prior to the Special Servicer granting extensions beyond one year or any subsequent extension after granting a one year extension with respect to the Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount based on an Updated Appraisal. The Special Servicer shall obtain letter updates, every nine months, to an Updated Appraisal for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists with respect to the Whole Loan and the Master Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such Updated Appraisal. In addition, upon receipt of each Updated Appraisal, the Master Servicer shall re-compute the Appraisal Reduction Amount which shall be adjusted accordingly. If the Appraisal Reduction Amount is reduced as a result of any such adjustment then (a) each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such adjustment, (b) the Certificate Administrator, based on information in its possession, shall redetermine whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period and/or an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is then in effect and which Class of Certificates is the then-Controlling Class, and (c) the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer of the amount of such adjustment. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount allocable to the Trust Loan for any Distribution Date shall be applied by the Certificate Administrator to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the following Classes of Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class C Certificates; third, to the Class B Certificates; and finally, to the Class A Certificates (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect

-137-

of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). The Special Servicer shall send all such letter updates and Updated Appraisals to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement). During any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period, within 15 days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall notify the Directing Holder of the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Within 15 days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event.

If the Special Servicer has not received an appraisal or Updated Appraisal within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event (or, in the case of an Appraisal Reduction Event occurring by reason of clause (b) of the definition thereof, within 30 days of the Appraisal Reduction Event), solely for purposes of determining the amount by which P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the Trust Loan or monthly debt service advances under any Companion Loan securitization made by the Other Master Servicer with respect to any Companion Loan, as applicable, are to be reduced (and not for the purpose of determining Voting Rights or whether a Subordinate Control Period, Subordinate Consultation Period or Operating Advisor Consultation Period has occurred and is continuing), the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to be an amount equal to 25% of the current Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan until an Updated Appraisal is received and the Appraisal Reduction Amount is calculated (an “Assumed Appraisal Reduction Amount). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Assumed Appraisal Reduction Amount shall not be allocated to any Class of Certificates for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Subordinate Consultation Period or Operating Advisor Consultation Period is then in effect or for the purposes of reducing the Voting Rights of Certificateholders.

The Special Servicer shall monitor the Whole Loan so long as it is a Specially Serviced Loan, evaluate whether the causes of the default can be corrected over a reasonable period without significant impairment of the value of the Mortgaged Property, initiate corrective action (with (i) notification to and the consent of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period and (ii) to the extent such corrective action constitutes a Major Decision, upon consultation with the Operating Advisor during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period) in cooperation with the Borrower if, in the Special Servicer’s judgment a cure is likely, and take such other actions (including without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of the Whole Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and the Specially Serviced Loan has not been released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.09(a) and (b) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may, to the extent consistent with the Asset Status Report and with the Servicing Standard, accelerate the Specially Serviced Loan and commence a foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the Mortgaged Property; provided that the Special Servicer determines that such acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) on a present value basis (discounting at the related Calculation Rate) than would a waiver of such default or an

-138-

extension or modification in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.26 hereof. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if such Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance but the Special Servicer determines (with the Master Servicer permitted to conclusively rely upon any such determination) that such payment would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) the Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer to make such payment from the Collection Account, which payment shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any determination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer does not make such Property Advance in violation of the second preceding sentence, the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall make such Property Advance, unless the Back-Up Advancing Agent determines that such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer and the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of Property Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to this paragraph to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail (or via other means of electronic delivery reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) to the Master Servicer any information in the Special Servicer’s possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount or updated Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable best efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Master Servicer’s written request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal); provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Master Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence; provided, further, that it shall not be a Master Servicer Termination Event if the Master Servicer fails to satisfy its obligation to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate an Appraisal Reduction Amount within the time periods set forth in this Agreement to the extent such failure is due to or caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to deliver the information reasonably required to make such determination, calculation, redetermination or recalculation within the time periods set forth in this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

(b) If the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the Borrower or any other liable party if (i) the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or (ii) if the Special Servicer determines, in its best judgment, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

-139-

(c) Prior to any foreclosure or by transfer-in-lieu (or deed-in-lieu) of foreclosure, with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall consider all information in its possession or provided by the Master Servicer from the Borrower or of which the Special Servicer otherwise has actual knowledge with respect to any environmental matters with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and based on such information shall determine in accordance with Servicing Standard if any independent site assessments of the Mortgaged Property are advisable. The Special Servicer, in the case of any foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property consider the risks associated with the foreclosure and only take action in accordance with its established environmental review procedures and in any event in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any environmental assessment report to the 17g-5 Information Provider in electronic format and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall make such report available to the Rating Agencies and other NRSROs pursuant to Section 3.14(d).

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (as determined in accordance with Servicing Standard) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action subject to the rights of the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult in respect of such action, as applicable. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any collateral (other than the Mortgaged Property) on behalf of the Trust REMIC unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as an Administrative Advance unless the Master Servicer determines that such Administrative Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance then, as an Additional Trust Fund Expense) to the effect that such acquisition will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust REMIC (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)) under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding.

The Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as an Administrative Advance unless the Master Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d) In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer) or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee on behalf of the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation or partial cancellation of the Whole Loan, the Whole Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01 of this Agreement) be considered to be an REO Loan until such time as the REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Whole Loan shall be considered to be an outstanding Whole Loan, as applicable:

(i) it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall have been discharged or partially discharged, the Notes and, for purposes

-140-

of determining the Stated Principal Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule, if any, in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title shall remain in effect; and

(ii) subject to Section 1.02(f) of this Agreement, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to amounts that would have been payable under the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Co-Lender Agreement. In the absence of such terms, Net REO Proceeds shall, subject to Section 1.02(f) of this Agreement, be deemed to have been received first, in payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid on the date that the REO Property was acquired by the Trust Fund; second, in respect of the delinquent principal installments that remained unpaid on such date; and thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the payment of installments of principal, if any, and accrued interest on the Whole Loan deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Notes and such amortization schedule, if any, until such principal has been paid in full and then to other amounts due under the Whole Loan. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed the Monthly Payment then payable, the excess shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect of the Whole Loan.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holder any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:

(i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(l) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holder; or

(ii) the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Lower-Tier REMIC) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Lower-Tier REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest or other equity interest in the Borrower pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement unless the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement) to the effect that the holding of such partnership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause Adverse REMIC Event at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to obtain title to the Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, to obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in the Borrower pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of the Mortgaged Property, to have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and shall not otherwise cause the Trustee to acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, the Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or the Companion

-141-

Loan Holder would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits (which report shall be an expense of the Trust), that:

(i) the 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 the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, and

(ii) there are no circumstances present at the 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 the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholder and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgaged Property indicates that the Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

(h) The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(g) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Upon the written direction of the Special Servicer and delivery by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of pertinent back-up information the Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Property Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any environmental assessments in electronic format to the Master Servicer, the Companion Loan

-142-

Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such materials to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(g) of this Agreement has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clause (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of (i) satisfaction of both such conditions, (ii) repurchase of the Trust Loan by the Trust Loan Seller or (iii) release of the lien of the Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property.

(i) If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(g)(i) that the Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(g)(ii) that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting the Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, the Special Servicer shall take such action (subject to the rights of the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult in respect of such action and/or the Operating Advisor to consult in respect of such action) as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, but only if the Certificate Administrator has mailed notice to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder of such proposed action, which notice shall be prepared by the Special Servicer, and only if the Certificate Administrator does not receive, within 30 days of such notification, instructions from the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights and the Companion Loan Holder directing the Special Servicer not to take such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines that it is likely that within such 30-day period irreparable environmental harm to the Mortgaged Property would result from the presence of such Hazardous Materials and provides a prior written statement to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the basis for such determination, then the Special Servicer may take or cause to be taken such action to remedy such condition as may be consistent with the Servicing Standard. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated to take any action or not take any action pursuant to this Section 3.10(i) at the direction of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder unless the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder agree to indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such action or inaction. The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(j) The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer if the Mortgaged Property is abandoned or foreclosed and requires reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported

-143-

with respect to the Whole Loan if it is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the Borrower, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C or 1099A, all forgiveness of indebtedness, abandonment or foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer.

(k) The costs of any Updated Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable from the Collection Account.

Section 3.11 Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage File. Upon the payment in full of the Whole Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Any expense incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance that is not paid by the Borrower shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer agrees to use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to enforce any provisions in the Loan Documents that require the Borrower to pay such amounts. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be an expense of the Trustee or the Custodian or chargeable to the Collection Account.

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Custodian shall promptly release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Whole Loan into an REO Loan, or receipt by the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that the Mortgaged Property was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that the Whole Loan has become an REO Loan, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) any court pleadings, requests for a trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of the Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Borrower on the Notes or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Notes or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, that the proposed action is consistent with the Servicing Standard and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee

-144-

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.

Section 3.12 Servicing Fees, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees and Special Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee. The Master Servicer’s rights to the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement or as provided in the following paragraph with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional Servicing Compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement, (i) all investment income earned on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and certain Reserve Accounts (to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents), (ii) any Net Default Interest and any other Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, in each case, remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period (subject to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement) to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Performing Loan and to pay or reimburse the Trust for any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) relating to such Performing Loan incurred during or prior to such Collection Period, and as further described in Section 3.12(d), (iii) any amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is Performing Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan), demand fees (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or similar items (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) (but not including Prepayment Charges) and (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Loan Documents, 100% of any Modification Fees, loan service transaction fees and consent fees with respect to (and other similar fees relating to) the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan where the consent of the Special Servicer is not required (50% of such fees where the consent of the Special Servicer is required), 100% of any defeasance fees, 100% of Assumption Fees and consent fees (or similar fees) relating to the transactions referred to in Section 3.09(b) of this Agreement with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan where the consent of the Special Servicer is not required (50% of such fees where the consent of the Special Servicer is required), 100% of beneficiary statement charges, demand fees or similar items (but not including Prepayment Charges) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and 100% of assumption application fees with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, in each case to the extent received and not required to be deposited or retained in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any fee split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of Section 3.12(a) or (b) hereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however, that (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to 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. The

-145-

Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to, and to the extent provided in, Section 3.06(a)(viii) or 3.07(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, to withdraw from the Collection Account and to receive from any Borrower Accounts (to the extent not payable to the Borrower under the Whole Loan or applicable law), Prepayment Interest Excess (if any and to the extent any such Prepayment Interest Excess exceeds the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls), and Net Default Interest and any interest or other income earned on deposits therein.

KeyBank National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights that relate to the Whole Loan (and a successor REO Loan) shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit P-1 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit P-2 hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. KeyBank National Association and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and the Master Servicer hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Operating Advisor, the Trust, the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Master Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan or successor REO Loan with respect thereto to which the Excess Servicing Fee Right relates, shall pay, out of each amount paid to the Master Servicer as Servicing Fee with respect to the Whole Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer or the Trustee

-146-

shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

As compensation for its activities hereunder on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled with respect to the Trust Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee and the routine fees of the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent. The Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights to the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of its respective responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

If the Master Servicer resigns or is terminated as the Master Servicer, then it will be entitled to retain the related excess servicing strip, except to the extent that any portion of such excess servicing strip is needed to compensate any replacement Master Servicer for assuming the duties of the Master Servicer, as the Master Servicer under this Agreement. The initial Master Servicer will be entitled to transfer any such excess servicing strip and/or primary servicing fees that may be retained by it in connection with its resignation or termination.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all of its overhead expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall each pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder.

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 (without the consent of the affected party) (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. For the avoidance of doubt, 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. Similarly, if the Special Servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than with respect to Penalty Charges), the Master Servicer shall nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had charged a fee and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Master Servicer.

The Special Servicer may, in connection with a workout or other modification of the Whole Loan and without consent of the Master Servicer, waive any or all related Default Interest and late payment charges, regardless of who is entitled to receive such payments as

-147-

compensation. If the Special Servicer has partially waived any Default Interest or late payment charges (part of which accrued prior to the related Servicing Transfer Event), any collections in respect of such Default Interest or late payment charge shall be shared pro rata by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based on the respective portions of such Default Interest or late payment charges to which each would otherwise have been entitled. If the Master Servicer has partially waived any Default Interest or late payment charge (part of which accrued subsequent to the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event and prior to the date the Whole Loan became a corrected mortgage loan), any collections in respect of such Default Interest or late payment charge shall be shared pro rata by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based on the respective portions of such Default Interest or late payment charges to which each would otherwise have been entitled.

(b) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan to the Special Servicing Compensation, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer’s rights to the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as Special Servicing Compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Loan Documents, (i) any late payment charges and any Net Default Interest and any other default charges and Penalty Charges collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer during a Collection Period accrued on a Specially Serviced Loan remaining after application thereof during such Collection Period (subject to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement) to pay the Advance Interest Amount relating to such Specially Serviced Loan and any unreimbursed Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred during or prior to such Collection Period on a Specially Serviced Loan (but not NSF check fees and the like, which shall be paid to the Master Servicer) as further described below in subsection (c), (ii) 50% of any Assumption Fees, consent fees (or similar fees) relating to the transactions referred to in Section 3.09(b) of this Agreement, Modification Fees (and other similar fees) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan, when the approval from the Special Servicer is required (and excluding any Prepayment Charges), (iii) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts, (iv) 100% of charges for checks returned for insufficient funds on the REO Account and (v) 100% of any Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, consent fees (or similar fees) relating to the transactions referred to in Section 3.09(b) of this Agreement, Modification Fees (and other similar fees), loan service transaction fees, beneficiary statement charges, demand fees or similar items relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any fee split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of Section 3.12(a) or (b) hereof, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master

-148-

Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it.

(c) In addition, a Workout Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan if it ceases to be a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to the definition thereof. The Workout Fee will be payable out of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on the Whole Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee will cease to be payable if the Whole Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or if the Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when the Whole Loan again becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns with respect to any or all of its servicing duties, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to a Corrected Mortgage Loan during the period that it had responsibility for servicing such Corrected Mortgage Loan (or the Specially Serviced Loan had not yet become a Corrected Mortgage Loan because as of the time that the Special Servicer is terminated, the Borrower has not made three (3) consecutive monthly debt service payments and subsequently, the Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan) at the time of such termination or resignation (and the successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan ceases to be payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.

A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to (i) the Trust Loan if repurchased by the Trust Loan Seller after the applicable time period (including any applicable extension thereof) in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement, (ii) a Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer obtains a full, partial or discounted payoff from the Borrower and (iii) except as otherwise described below, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property as to which the Special Servicer recovered any Liquidation Proceeds. As to the Trust Loan repurchased by the Trust Loan Seller after the applicable time period (including any applicable extension thereof) in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement or a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property, the Liquidation Fee will be payable from the related payment or proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds to the extent set forth in the definition of “Liquidation Fee” herein. With respect to any future mezzanine debt, to the extent not prohibited by the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require that the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement provide that in the event of a purchase of the Whole Loan by the related mezzanine lender after 90 days following the first time that such holder’s option to purchase the Whole Loan becomes exercisable (provided, however, that even if the purchase occurs before such expiration the Liquidation Fee will be payable to the extent paid by, and collected from, the related borrower or the mezzanine lender), such mezzanine lender shall be required to pay a Liquidation Fee equal to the amount that the Special Servicer would otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement with respect to a liquidation of the Whole Loan (provided, however, that such Liquidation Fee shall in all circumstances be payable by the related mezzanine

-149-

lender and shall not, under any circumstances, be payable out of the Trust unless the Master Servicer fails to require the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement to require the mezzanine lender to pay such amounts in breach of its obligation to do so under this paragraph). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds are received with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to Liquidation Proceeds received on the Whole Loan or a Specially Serviced Loan. In the event that (i) the Special Servicer resigns or has been terminated, and (ii) prior or subsequent to such resignation or termination, either (A) a Specially Serviced Loan was liquidated or modified pursuant to an action plan submitted by the Special Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined to grant a forbearance, or (B) a Specially Serviced Loan being monitored by the Special Servicer subsequently became a Corrected Mortgage Loan, then in either such event the Special Servicer (and not the successor special servicer) shall be paid the related Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee, as applicable.

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 the REO Property, due and owing to any of its sub servicers, any amounts due and owing to any of its Affiliates, and the premiums for any blanket insurance policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, except to the extent such premiums are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the REO Account or as a Property Advance, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, the Borrower, any Borrower Related Party, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of the Whole Loan and any purchaser of the Whole Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of the Whole Loan, the management or disposition of the REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.12; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees; provided, further, that any compensation or other remuneration that the Master Servicer is permitted to receive or retain pursuant to this Agreement in connection with its duties in such capacity as the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator in connection with its duties in such capacity as the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement will not be Disclosable Special Servicer Fees.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected in respect of the Whole Loan during the related Collection Period shall be

applied (as between Default Interest and late payment charges, in the priority set forth in the definition of “Advance Interest Amount”) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent for interest on Advances at the Advance Rate with respect to the Trust Loan or Whole Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected and advance interest to any Companion Loan Service Provider for any debt service advance made by such party with respect to the related Companion Loan that accrued in the period that such Penalty Charges were collected, (ii) the Trust Fund for all interest on Advances with respect to the Trust Loan or Whole Loan previously paid to the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee or to any Companion Loan Service Provider pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(vi) of this Agreement and (iii) the Trust Fund for any Additional Trust Fund Expenses (including Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) with respect to the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan paid during or prior to the Collection Period that such Penalty Charges were collected and not previously paid out of Penalty Charges, and any Penalty Charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed pro rata to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer based upon the amount of Penalty Charges the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would otherwise have been entitled to receive during such period with respect to the Whole Loan without any such application.

(f) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.06 for the costs and expenses incurred by them in the performance of their respective duties under this Agreement which are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii). Such expenses shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental assessments, Updated Appraisals and appraisals in connection with foreclosure, the fees and expenses of any administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly identified as reimbursable in Section 3.06(a)(xv) of this Agreement. All such costs and expenses shall be treated as costs and expenses of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Companion Loans, if applicable.

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from the Borrower, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which would, in the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s good faith business judgment require the assistance of Independent legal counsel or other consultant to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund or the Companion Loan Holder

-151-

hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless the Borrower, such Certificateholder, or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability to any Person for the failure to respond to such request or inquiry.

Section 3.15 Title and Management of REO Property and REO Accounts. (a) In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder in foreclosure, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate Trustee or co-Trustee, in each case on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holder. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holder, shall dispose of any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of the REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the Special Servicer on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC has applied for an extension of such period pursuant to Sections 856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Special Servicer shall sell the REO Property within the applicable extension period or if the Special Servicer has applied for extension as provided in this clause (i) but such request has not yet been granted or denied, the additional time specified in such request, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement), addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of the REO Property for an additional specified period will not cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that any Certificate is outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period subject to any conditions set forth in such Opinion of Counsel. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holder, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which the REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.16 hereof. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property for the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property.

(b) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the Servicing Standard and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which the Special Servicer manages and operates similar property owned or managed by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to the REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property”, within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code, which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions, only if it has determined, and has so advised the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to

-166-

result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder than an alternative method of operation or rental of the REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax.

The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), each of which shall be either (A) an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “KeyBank National Association, on behalf of Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of COMM 2024-277P Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder, REO Account” or (B) entitled in the name of the limited liability company formed to hold title to the REO Property for the benefit of the Trustee. Title of any REO Property may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC that is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance); provided, further, that such limited liability company (a) shall not elect to be classified as anything other than an entity that is disregarded as separate from the Lower-Tier REMIC for federal income tax purposes and (b) shall only hold assets permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited REO Proceeds in the REO Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such properly identified REO Proceeds, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to the REO Property, including:

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

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

(iii) all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property; and

(iv) any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05.

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Master Servicer shall make such Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided that with respect to advancing insurance premiums or delinquent tax assessments the Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of the second to last paragraph in Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement) and if the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, to the extent the Back-Up Advancing Agent has actual knowledge of the Master Servicer’s failure to make such Advance, shall make such Advance, unless in each case, the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Back-Up

-167-

Advancing Agent shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Back-Up Advancing Agent, when making an independent determination whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in accordance with Section 3.21(d) based on its reasonable judgment. The Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account on a monthly basis prior to or on the related Due Date the Net REO Proceeds received or collected from each REO Property, except that in determining the amount of such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i)

permit any New Lease to be entered into, renewed or extended, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(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 repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the Trust Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)

Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement) to the effect that such action will not cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement and payable out of REO Proceeds, for

-168-

the operation and management of any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement); provided that:

(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of the REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(b) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, with respect to the operation and management of any the REO Property; and

(iv) the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of the REO Property.

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

(c) Promptly following any acquisition by the Special Servicer of an REO Property on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer thereof, and, the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Appraisal thereof, but only in the event that any Updated Appraisal with respect thereto is more than 9 months old and the Special Servicer has no actual knowledge of any material adverse change in circumstances that, consistent with the Servicing Standard, would call into question the validity of such Updated Appraisal, in order to determine the fair market value of the REO Property and shall notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer and the Companion Loan Holder of the results of such Appraisal. Any such Appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with Appraisal Institute standards and the cost thereof shall be advanced as a Property Advance. The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Appraisal or a letter update every 9 months thereafter until the REO Property is sold.

(d) When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Certificate Administrator a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income

-169-

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) of this Agreement.

Section 3.16 Sale of a Specially Serviced Loan or the REO Property. (a) The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, the Whole Loan only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.03(e) and Section 9.01 of this Agreement or in the Co-Lender Agreement.

(b) If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell the Whole Loan if it is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price if it sells such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are received, the highest cash offer received in the solicitation process within the time frame set for such process by the Special Servicer) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period or any consultation rights of the Operating Advisor during the Operating Advisor Consultation Period.

The Special Servicer shall give the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period) and the Companion Loan Holder, not less than ten (10) Business Days’ (or five (5) Business Days’ notice in the case of the Directing Holder) prior written notice of its intention to sell a Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward such notice to the Certificateholders). 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 Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement. The notice provided to the Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the second previous sentence shall include notice of the Companion Loan Holder’s opportunity to bid on the Defaulted Mortgage Loan.

(c) Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or Updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, (ii) by the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer is making such an offer unless the Master Servicer and Special Servicer are Affiliates or (iii) the Trustee if the Master Servicer

-170-

and Special Servicer are Affiliates and the Special Servicer is making an offer. The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. No offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) if the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Repurchase Price, the offer is the highest offer received, or (ii) if the offer is less than the applicable Repurchase Price, (a) the offer is the highest offer received and (b) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, 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 related Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Whole Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Whole 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 costs, fees and expenses of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and shall be paid in advance of such determination by the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount, as determined by the Trustee.

In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the Delinquency on such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, the expected recovery from such Defaulted Mortgage Loan if the Special Servicer were to pursue a workout strategy, and the time and expense associated with a purchaser’s foreclosing on the Mortgaged Property. The Repurchase Price for a Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall refer to all other relevant information obtained by it or otherwise contained in the Mortgage File; provided that the Special Servicer shall take account of any change in circumstances regarding the Mortgaged Property known to the Special Servicer that has occurred subsequent to, and that would, in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment, materially affect the value of the Mortgaged Property reflected in the most recent related Appraisal. Furthermore, the Special Servicer may consider available objective third party information obtained from generally available sources, as well as information obtained from vendors providing real estate services to the Special Servicer, concerning the market for distressed real estate loans and the real estate market for the subject property type in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located. The Special Servicer may, to the extent it is reasonable to do so in accordance with the Servicing Standard, conclusively rely on any opinions or reports of qualified Independent experts in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Specially Serviced Loan, selected

-171-

with reasonable care by the Special Servicer, in making such determination. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Property Advances. The other parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests for information made by the Special Servicer in order to allow the Special Servicer to perform its duties pursuant to this Section 3.16(c).

(d) Subject to subsection (c) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the REO Account or the Collection Account. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(e) Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be for cash only.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.16.

(h) The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to solicit offers for an REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for the REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall dispose of the REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless of from whom received.

The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, not less than ten Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell an REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant to this Agreement.

-172-

(i) Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for an REO Property, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless it is the highest offer received. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for an REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent appraisal or Updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or in the absence of any such appraisal, on a narrative appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to the REO Property (or by the Trustee if the Special Servicer is making such an offer). The cost of any such Updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal and any related costs and fees of the Trustee shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. The Trustee shall be permitted to retain, at the expense of the related Interested Person, an independent third party to determine such fair price and shall be permitted to conclusively rely on the opinion of such third party’s determination. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for an REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the REO Property, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of the REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.15(a) of this Agreement. The Repurchase Price for an REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.

(j) Subject to subsections (h) and (i) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of an REO Property, and the applicable collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge for its own account prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account. Any sale of an REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(k) Any sale of an REO Property shall be for cash only.

(l) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.16, the Special Servicer shall not be required to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as

-173-

if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) (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).

(m) The Special Servicer shall have the obligation to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (including the Companion Loans) pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement as if the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans were one whole loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder. The Special Servicer shall provide notice to the applicable Other Special Servicer (if any) and, to the extent it has received prior written notice, the controlling class representative of the related Other Securitization Trust as soon as practicable following its decision to attempt to sell, and prior to the commencement of marketing of, the Companion Loans.

(n) In connection with the acquisition of the REO Property pursuant to Section 3.16(b), if the value (as determined by an Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer at the time of such foreclosure, the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance) of such REO Property on the date of the completion of the transfer of the last remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure is less than the estimated Excess Liquidation Reference Amount as of that date, then the Holders or Beneficial Owners of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in the Class ELP Certificates (the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option Holder”) will have the right to exercise the option (referred to herein as, the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option”) pursuant to which they will be deemed to have acquired, in connection with and immediately prior to the consummation of the sale of the REO Property to a third party, all of the interests in the REO Property (or, if the Special Servicer has transferred the entire REO Property to a single member limited liability company holding only the REO Property (the “REO LLC”), the Issuing Entity’s Proportionate Share of the interests in the REO LLC) for the Excess Liquidation Purchase Price. The Excess Liquidation Proceeds option shall be assignable only to an Affiliate of such Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option Holder.

(o) The Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option may only be cash settled on the closing of a sale of all of the REO Property by the Trust or the REO LLC, as applicable, to a third-party purchaser, and only if the Net Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with such sale exceed the Excess Liquidation Reference Amount. Upon the closing of any qualifying sale to a third-party purchaser, the Special Servicer shall deliver, or shall cause the REO LLC to deliver, to the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option Holder a cash settlement amount equal to the excess of (i) the net sales proceeds of the REO Property over (ii) the Excess Liquidation Reference Amount (the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds”).

(p) For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Option will only be permitted in conjunction with, or following, a “qualified liquidation” (as defined in the REMIC Provisions) of each Trust REMIC.

Section 3.17 Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Inspections. (a) The Master Servicer (at its own expense) (or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Mortgaged Property at such times and in such manner as is consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event shall inspect the Mortgaged Property at least once every 12 months commencing in 2025 (or at such decreased frequency as each Rating Agency shall have provided a No Downgrade Confirmation relating to the Certificates and Companion Loan Securities); provided that if the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as the Whole Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, further, that the Master Servicer will not be required to inspect the Mortgaged Property that has been inspected in the previous 12 months. The cost of each such inspection performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Special Servicer shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance; provided, however, that if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the cost of such inspections shall be an expense of the Trust payable from the Collection Account, which expense shall first be reimbursed to the Trust as an Additional Trust Fund Expense; provided, further, that in the case of any deficiency of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall, after receiving payment or making payments from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, if any (i) promptly notify the Companion Loan Holder and (ii) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to exercise on behalf of the Trust the rights of the Trust under the Co-Lender Agreement to obtain reimbursement for a pro rata portion of such amount allocable to the Companion Loans from the Companion Loan Holder. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare a written report of the inspection describing, among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property and specifying the existence of any material vacancies in the Mortgaged Property, any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which it has actual knowledge, any material adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property, or any visible material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property. Upon request of any Rating Agency, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall send such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such reports to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and, upon request, to the Initial Purchaser within 20 days of completion, each inspection report.

(b) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan), as applicable, shall exercise the Trustee’s rights, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to any Manager under the related Loan Documents and Management Agreement, if any.

(c) If the Master Servicer has accepted a voluntary Principal Prepayment with respect to the Whole Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Loan or a previously Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which the Special Servicer has waived or amended the prepayment restrictions) (except (A) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (B) in connection with the payment of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, (C) subsequent to a default under the Loan Documents (provided that the Master Servicer reasonably believes that acceptance of such prepayment is consistent with the Servicing Standard), (D) pursuant to applicable law or a court order, or (E) at the request of or with the consent of the Special Servicer), resulting in a Prepayment Interest Shortfall), then the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate

-175-

Administrator on each Servicer Remittance Date for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (or with respect to the Companion Loans, remit to the holder of the Companion Loans a pro rata portion of the following amount), without any right of reimbursement therefor, a cash payment (a “Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount”), in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with such voluntary Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Whole Loan (if it is a Performing Loan) during the related Collection Period, and (y) the sum of (A) the aggregate of that portion of its Servicing Fees that is the master servicing fee and that is being paid in such Collection Period (calculated for this purpose at a rate equal to 0.0625 basis points (0.000625%) per annum) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan and (B) any Prepayment Interest Excess received with respect to the related Collection Period. The Master Servicer’s obligations to pay any Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amount, and the rights of the Certificateholders to offset of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls against those amounts, shall not be cumulative.

(d) The Master Servicer shall, if the Whole Loan is secured by the interest of the Borrower under a ground lease, promptly (and in any event within 60 days) after the Closing Date deliver notice to the related ground lessor of the transfer of the Whole Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related ground lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer; provided that the Trust Loan Seller shall cooperate with the Master Servicer with respect to such notices, including, without limitation, providing the form of notice to be delivered to such ground lessors.

(e) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard and permitted by the Loan Documents, not apply any funds with respect to the Whole Loan (whether arising in the form of a holdback, earnout reserve, cash trap or other similar feature) to the prepayment of the Whole Loan prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default with respect to the Whole Loan. Prior to an event of default or reasonably foreseeable event of default any such amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be held by the Master Servicer as additional collateral for the Whole Loan.

Section 3.18 Authenticating Agent. The Certificate Administrator may appoint an Authenticating Agent to execute and to authenticate Certificates. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state, having a principal office and place of business in a state and city acceptable to the Depositor, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Certificate Administrator shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent.

Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.

-176-

The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.18, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Depositor, and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 3.18.

The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Certificate Administrator. Any compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be an unreimbursable expense of the Certificate Administrator, as applicable.

Section 3.19 Appointment of Custodians. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company is hereby appointed as the initial Custodian. The Certificate Administrator may, at its own expense and with the consent of the Master Servicer, appoint one or more additional Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee and otherwise perform the duties set forth in Article II, by entering into a Custodial Agreement with any Custodian who is not the Depositor; provided that if the additional Custodian is an Affiliate of the Certificate Administrator such consent of the Master Servicer need not be obtained and the Certificate Administrator shall instead notify the Master Servicer of such appointment. The Certificate Administrator agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any act or omission of the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, nor will the Certificate Administrator have any obligation to oversee the activities of a non-Affiliate Custodian. Each Custodian shall be a corporation, national banking association, trust company or depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus (or shall have its performance guaranteed by an Affiliate with a combined capital and surplus) of at least $10,000,000, and shall have a long-term debt rating of at least “Baa3” from Moody’s and “BBB(low)” by Morningstar DBRS, or if not rated by Morningstar DBRS, in each case, at least an equivalent rating by two NRSROs, which may include Moody’s. Each 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 the Mortgage File directly by the Certificate Administrator. The appointment of one or more Custodians shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its duties, liabilities or obligations hereunder. If the Custodian is an entity other than the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that are customary for institutions that act as custodian for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement. The Custodian shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Custodian.

-177-

In addition, the Custodian shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations hereunder in the form and amount that are customary for institutions that act as custodian for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement. In lieu of the foregoing, the Custodian shall be entitled to self insure. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.19 shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator shall bear no responsibility for any acts or omissions on the part of the Custodian.

Section 3.20 Lock-Box Accounts, Cash Collateral Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts. The Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account, Cash Collateral Account, Escrow Account and Reserve Account in accordance with the Mortgage or Loan Agreement, Cash Collateral Account Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any relating to the Whole Loan it is servicing.

Section 3.21 Property Advances. (a) The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.21(c) of this Agreement, the Back-Up Advancing Agent) to the extent specifically provided for in this Agreement, shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the Whole Loan. For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and compensation to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the Stated Principal Balance of the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Whole Loan so provide.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer not less than five Business Days’ written notice with respect to any Property Advance to be made on a Specially Serviced Loan, before the date on which the Master Servicer is required to make such Property Advance with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be required to provide the Master Servicer with only two Business Days’ written notice in respect of Property Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). If the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent makes a Property Advance with respect to the Whole Loan, then the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such Property Advance with respect to the Whole Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such Property Advance.

(c) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Back-Up Advancing Agent and the Certificate Administrator in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance, the Person to whom it is to be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five Business Days following such notice, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, subject to the

-178-

provisions of Section 3.21(d) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions.

(d) The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Property Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property as such party required to make Property Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making nonrecoverability determinations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Property Advance shall be required hereunder if the Person otherwise required to make such Property Advance determines that such Property Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall not make any Property Advance to the extent that it determines or has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such Property Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to (i) give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to the Whole Loan, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, in light of the fact that proceeds on the Whole Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Property Advance, Administrative Advance or P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance which is being or may be deferred or delayed and (ii) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the Whole Loan as it may have been modified, (iii) consider (among other things) the Mortgaged Property in its “as-is” or then-current condition and occupancy, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (iv) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses and (v) estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.

If an Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property shall not have been obtained within the prior 9 month period (and the Master Servicer and the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall each request any such appraisal from the Special Servicer prior to ordering an Appraisal pursuant to this sentence) or if such an Appraisal shall have been obtained but as a result of unforeseen occurrences, such Appraisal does not, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, reflect current market conditions, and the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, and the Special Servicer cannot agree on the appropriate downward adjustment to such Appraisal, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund (and such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provision of the Co-Lender Agreement).

-179-

Any determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent that the Master Servicer or Back-Up Advancing Agent, as the case may be, has made a Property Advance that is a Nonrecoverable Property Advance or any determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance shall be evidenced, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the other, to the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor (during any Operating Advisor Consultation Period), the Companion Loan Holder and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), and, in the case of the Back-Up Advancing Agent, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Back-Up Advancing Agent, delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor (during any Operating Advisor Consultation Period), the Companion Loan Holder and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), which in each case sets forth such recoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate to be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, to make such determination, together with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Property Advance previously made or proposed to be made is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), notice of such determination together with a certificate of a Servicing Officer and supporting information described above, if applicable. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Advancing Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Advance is, or would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance, and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, then all such decisions shall remain with the Master Servicer.

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust (and such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement), any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Property Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder.

Notwithstanding the above, the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination by the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer and the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be bound by any determination of the Special Servicer that a Property

-180-

Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. The Back-Up Advancing Agent, in determining whether or not a Property Advance previously made is, or a proposed Property Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Property Advance shall be subject to a good faith business judgment standard.

With respect to the payment of insurance premiums and delinquent tax assessments, in the event that the Master Servicer determines that a Property Advance of such amounts would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall deliver notice of such determination to the Back-Up Advancing Agent, Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property) shall determine (with the reasonable assistance of the Master Servicer) whether the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the Mortgaged Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account to the extent of Available Funds or, in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall direct the Master Servicer in writing to make such payment and, in either case, the Master Servicer shall make such payment, to the extent of Available Funds, from amounts in the Collection Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.21, the Master Servicer may elect (but shall not be required) to make a payment out of the Collection Account to pay for certain expenses specified in this sentence notwithstanding that the Master Servicer has determined that a Property Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance (unless, with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the 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 Whole Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) that making such expenditure is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder, all as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender. The Master Servicer may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Property Advances from the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 3.06 of this Agreement.

(e) The Master Servicer and/or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by it to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, if applicable, of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Advancing Agent each hereby covenants and agrees to

-181-

promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.

(f) If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, determines that a proposed Property Advance, if made, or any outstanding Property Advance with respect to any such Whole Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Property Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, together with supporting evidence for such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the Co-Lender Agreement.

With respect to a Performing Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Special Servicer of any request for approval (a “Request for Approval”) received relating to the Special Servicer’s above-referenced approval rights and forward to the Special Servicer written notice of any Request for Approval accompanied by its written

-191-

recommendation and analysis and any other information or documents reasonably requested by the Special Servicer (to the extent such information or documents are in the Master Servicer’s possession). The Special Servicer shall have 15 Business Days (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information it requested from the Master Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation with respect to a Request for Approval with respect to a Performing Loan. If the Special Servicer does not respond within such 15 Business Day period (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, 60 days) (unless earlier objected to), the Special Servicer’s consent shall be deemed given.

Section 3.26 Modification, Waiver, Amendment and Consents. (a) Subject to Sections 3.25 and 3.26(f), and subject to the rights of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period and the Operating Advisor during any Operating Advisor Consultation Period (in the case of clause (ii) below), (i) the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s consent if required pursuant to Sections 3.25 and Section 6.09(a)) or (ii) with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer may modify, waive or amend any term of the Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (A) is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise (1) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the EC Trust to qualify as a grantor trust or (2) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (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” under Section 860G(c) of the Code). In order to meet the foregoing requirements in the case of a release of real property collateral securing the Whole Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall observe the REMIC requirements of the Code with respect to a required payment of principal if the related loan-to-value ratio immediately after the release exceeds 125% with respect to the related real property.

(b) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall extend the Maturity Date of the Whole Loan to a date occurring later than the date that is seven (7) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

(c) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the Borrower to add or substitute any collateral for the Whole Loan, which collateral constitutes real property, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have obtained a No Downgrade Confirmation relating to the Certificates and the Companion Loan Securities, if any.

(d) Any payment of interest that is deferred pursuant to any modification, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holder, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Whole Loan or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit.

-192-

(e) Except for waivers of Penalty Charges and waivers of notice periods, all material modifications, waivers and amendments of the Whole Loan in accordance with this Section 3.26 of this Agreement shall be in writing.

(f) The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer (if the notice is given by the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer (if the notice is given by the Master Servicer), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or any Subordinate Consultation Period), the Operating Advisor (during any Operating Advisor Consultation Period), the Companion Loan Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), in writing, of any modification, waiver, material consent or amendment of any term of the Whole Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian for deposit in the Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, material consent or amendment, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) following the execution thereof.

(g) The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may (subject to the Servicing Standard), as a condition to granting any request by the Borrower for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the Whole Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that the Borrower pays to it (i) as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable and customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request (provided that the charging of such fee would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)), and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred by it. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be entitled to payment for such fees or expenses unless such payment is collected from the Borrower.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit the substitution of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Whole Loan (or any portion thereof), if any, unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 3.09(h) of this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of direct, non-callable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) (including U.S. government agency securities if such securities are eligible defeasance collateral under then current guidelines of the Rating Agencies) for the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the Loan Documents; provided that the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Borrower to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise endanger the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited

-193-

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”).

(j) Any modification, waiver or amendment of or consents or approvals relating to the Whole Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan shall be performed by the Special Servicer and not the Master Servicer.

(k) Any modification, waiver or amendment of or consents or approvals relating to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan shall, unless otherwise set forth in this Section 3.26, be subject to the consent of the Special Servicer pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 3.25.

Section 3.27 [Reserved]

Section 3.28 No Downgrade Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under the Loan Documents or this Agreement requires No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting to obtain such No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such No Downgrade Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the No Downgrade 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 No Downgrade Confirmation, then (i) such Requesting Party shall (without providing notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider) confirm that the applicable Rating Agency has received the No Downgrade Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related No Downgrade Confirmation again, and (ii) if there is no response to either such No Downgrade Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request, or such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates it is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for No Downgrade Confirmation, (x) with respect to any such condition in any Loan Document requiring such No Downgrade Confirmation, or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Whole Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the Borrower, then the Master Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan if it is Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan), as applicable) shall determine, in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, except as provided in Section 3.28(b), whether or not such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the Borrower, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), then the requirement for a No Downgrade Confirmation will be deemed not to apply as to the non-responding Rating Agency, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to a Rating Agency

-194-

or a rating agency rating any Companion Loan Securities, as applicable, as follows: (i) Moody’s, if the replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or a special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a CMBS securitization transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a 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 securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding rating agency; (ii) S&P, if the replacement master servicer or special servicer is listed on S&P’s Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer or a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer, as applicable, if S&P is the non-responding rating agency; (iii) KBRA, if KBRA has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a 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 a CMBS 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; (iv) Fitch, if 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; and (v) Morningstar DBRS, if the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer has a rating by Morningstar DBRS higher than or equal to “MOR CS3” as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, if Morningstar DBRS is the non-responding rating agency (clauses (i)-(v), a “Qualified Servicer”).

Any No Downgrade 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 No Downgrade Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the applicable Rating Agency to process such request.

(b) The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the “Companion Loan Noteholder Register”) on which the Master Servicer shall record the names and addresses of the Companion Loan Holder and wire transfer instructions for the Companion Loan Holder from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Master Servicer by the related Companion Loan Holder. The Companion Loan Holder agrees to inform the Master Servicer of its name, address, taxpayer identification number and wiring instructions (to the extent the foregoing information is not already contained in the Co-Lender Agreement) and of any transfer thereof (together with any instruments of transfer).

(e) The Special Servicer (with respect to a Companion Loan if such Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or has become a Serviced REO Loan) or the Master Servicer (otherwise), as applicable, shall take all actions relating to the servicing and/or administration of, and (subject to Section 3.13 and Section 3.17 of this Agreement and the following paragraph) the preparation and delivery of reports and other information with respect to, the Whole Loan or any related REO Property required to be performed by the holder of the Trust Loan or contemplated to be performed by a servicer, in any case pursuant to and as required by the Co-Lender Agreement. In addition notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following considerations shall apply with respect to the servicing of the Companion Loans:

If the Companion Loans or any portion thereof or any particular payments thereon are included in a REMIC, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly take any action that would result in the equivalent of an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to such REMIC.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the Companion Loan Holder shall not (1) owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or (2) have any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that the

-197-

Companion Loan Holder (i) may take or refrain from taking actions that favor its interests or the interests of its Affiliates over the Certificateholders, (ii) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of the Certificateholders and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against the Companion Loan Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or conflicts, and (iii) shall not be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its Affiliates.

The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge the rights of the Companion Loan Holder under the Co-Lender Agreement. Each of the rights of the Companion Loan Holder under or contemplated by this Section 3.29(e) may be exercisable by a designee thereof on its behalf; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are provided with written notice by the Companion Loan Holder of such designation (upon which such party may conclusively rely) and the contact details of the designee.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Co-Lender Agreement to the contrary, no direction or objection by the Companion Loan Holder may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of any Loan Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Loan Seller, the Paying Agent, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.

Any reference to servicing of the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan in accordance with any of the related Loan Documents (including the related Note and Mortgage) shall also mean, in the case of the Companion Loans, in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement.

To the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full.

For purposes of exercising any rights that the Directing Holder of the Trust Notes for any Trust Loan may have under the Co-Lender Agreement, the Directing Holder shall be the designee of the Trust, as such noteholder, and the Master Servicer shall, upon request, take such actions as may be necessary under the Co-Lender Agreement to effect such designation. Unless already provided through the Distribution Date Statement, the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Directing Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received notice of a change in the identity of the Directing Holder), to the other parties to the Co-Lender Agreement, to the extent the identity and contact information of such parties to such Co-Lender Agreement are actually known to the Certificate Administrator.

(f) With respect to the Trust Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide the Companion Loan Holder within the same time frame and to the same extent it is required to provide such information and materials to the Certificateholders or the Directing Holder, as applicable, hereunder with (1) copies of each financial statement received

Any copies to be furnished by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may be furnished by hard copy or electronic means, provided, however, CREFC^® reports shall be delivered at the times set forth in Section 3.13 in this Agreement.

(g) With respect to the Whole Loan, if a Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review by providing the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with copies of any documents reasonably requested by the Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent that (i) such asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller or any party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian (i) shall have any further obligations with respect to any asset review nor shall any such party be bound by the results of any asset review, or (ii) shall be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents, in its reasonable determination, would be a violation of this Agreement or any related intercreditor agreement.

Upon the occurrence of (i) a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, obtaining actual knowledge that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is

or has become a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser (an “Impermissible TPP Affiliate”), (ii) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receiving written notice from any other party to this Agreement, the Third Party Purchaser, the Trust Loan Seller or the Initial Purchaser that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is or has become an Impermissible TPP Affiliate, or (iii) an officer or manager of the Operating Advisor that is responsible for performing the duties of the Operating Advisor obtaining actual knowledge that it is or has become a Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third Party Purchaser or any other party to this Agreement (an “Impermissible Operating Advisor Affiliate”; and either of an Impermissible TPP Affiliate or an Impermissible Operating Advisor Affiliate being an “Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate”), then in each such case the Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate shall be required to promptly notify the Retaining Sponsor and the other parties to this Agreement and resign in accordance with Section 6.04, Section 6.11 or Section 8.07, as applicable. The resigning Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate will be required to bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement, the Trust and the Rating Agency in connection with such resignation as and to the extent required under this Agreement; provided, that if the affiliation causing an Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate is the result of the Third Party Purchaser acquiring an interest in such Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate or an affiliate of such Impermissible Credit Risk Retention Affiliate, then such costs and expenses will be an expense of the Trust.

(c) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Interest Distribution Account any amounts on deposit therein that represent Excess Interest collected with respect to the Trust Loan on or prior to the related Determination Date and shall distribute such Excess Interest to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates, sequentially, first to the Class A Certificates, then to the Class B Certificates, then to the Class C Certificates and then to the Class HRR Certificates, in that order, in each case, until accrued and unpaid Excess Interest due to such Class is paid in full.

-202-

Any shortfalls in respect of Excess Interest due on the Whole Loan and allocated to the Trust Loan shall be deemed distributed to the Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order, first, to the Class HRR Certificates, second, to the Class C Certificates, third, to the Class B Certificates, and finally, to the Class A Certificates.

(d) On each Distribution Date, following the distribution from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall make distributions of any Prepayment Charges received in the related Collection Period from amounts deposited in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account to (i) the holders of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class HRR Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, not greater than one, the numerator of which is the amount of principal distributed to such Class on such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to the holders of the Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date; (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Certificates; and (c) such Prepayment Charges, (ii) any Prepayment Charges remaining after such distributions to the Certificateholders described in clause (i) shall be distributed to the Class X Certificates.

All Prepayment Charges so distributed shall first be deemed to have been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the related Lower-Tier Regular Interest whether or not the related Lower-Tier Regular Interest has received all distributions of interest and principal to which it is entitled.

(e) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(b), the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, of Realized Losses. Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses 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 other shortfalls experienced by the Trust Fund. 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 applicable Class or in respect of which any such reimbursement is made.

The Certificate Balances of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses allocated to such Class with respect to such Distribution Date. Any Realized Losses allocated to the Certificates shall be applied to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class C Certificates; third, to the Class B Certificates; and finally, to the Class A Certificates. Any amounts recovered in respect of amounts previously written off as Realized Losses shall be distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates described above in reverse order of allocation of Realized Losses thereto in accordance with Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement. Additional Trust Fund Expenses and shortfalls in Available Funds due to extraordinary expenses of the Trust Fund (including indemnification expenses), a reduction in the Trust Loan Rate on the Trust Loan by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of

-203-

reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers, or otherwise, shall be treated as and allocated in the same manner as Realized Losses.

With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests as a write-off and shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the same priority as the Class of Corresponding Certificates. The Notional Amount of the Class X Certificates shall be reduced by the amount of Realized Losses allocated to the Class A Certificates.

(f) All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor; provided that such Holder shall have provided the Paying Agent with wire instructions in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or, otherwise, by check mailed by first-class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Holders of such final distribution.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Final Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably practicable within the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

(A) the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and

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

provided, however, that the Class R and Class LR Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates or Lower-Tier Regular Interests outstanding.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of such Classes of Certificates on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders of Certificates to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant

-204-

to this Section 4.01(g) 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 Holders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Holder or Holders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Holder(s) shall be paid out of such funds. If within two (2) years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holder(s) thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holder(s) until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) subject to the applicable law, the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Holder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(g). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator may be invested in Permitted Investments and all income and gain realized from investment of such funds shall accrue for its benefit.

(h) Any shortfalls in Available Funds resulting from Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall be allocated to, and Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts shall be deemed distributed to, each Class of Certificates (and correspondingly to each Class of Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests) as follows: first, to the Class HRR Certificates, second, to the Class C Certificates, third, to the Class B Certificates, and finally, to the Class A Certificates and the Class X Certificates, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements. Master Servicer Prepayment Interest Shortfall Amounts shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into the Collection Account on or prior to the Servicer Remittance Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website any reports or other information the Master Servicer is required or permitted to provide to the Borrower with respect to the Borrower’s Whole Loan to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Loan Documents or applicable law. If the Master Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or other information under any provision of this Agreement, then, the Master Servicer may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format, or (z) making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s Website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery; provided that all reports required to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered in accordance with clause (x) or (y) or, upon request, clause (z).

(f) 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 a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property as may be reasonably necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01 of this Agreement and preparing the statements to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement.

(g) As soon as reasonably practicable, upon the written request of and at the expense of any Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such Certificateholder, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any

-215-

interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

(h) The Certificate Administrator shall make available at its offices, during normal business hours, upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior notice, for review by any Privileged Person upon resubmission of an Investor Certification, originals or copies of documents relating to the Trust Loan and any REO Property to the extent in its possession, including, without limitation, the following items (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or under any of the Loan Documents):

(i) any and all notices and reports delivered to the Certificate Administrator with respect to the Mortgaged Property as to which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.10(g) of this Agreement revealed that neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) thereof was satisfied;

(ii) the most recent annual (or more frequent, if available) operating statements, rent rolls (to the extent such rent rolls have been made available by the Borrower) and/or lease summaries and retail “sales information”, if any, collected by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect to the Mortgaged Property;

(iii) the Mortgage File, including any and all modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms of the Whole Loan entered into by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer and delivered to the Certificate Administrator; and

(iv) any other information that may be necessary, as determined by the Depositor, to satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act to the extent in the Certificate Administrator’s possession.

Copies of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Certificate Administrator upon request. The Certificate Administrator will be permitted to require payment by the requesting party (other than a Rating Agency) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of making such information available and providing any copies thereof. The Certificate Administrator’s obligation under this Section 4.02(h) to make available any document is subject to the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such document.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for providing or disseminating information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i) The Depositor hereby authorizes the Certificate Administrator to make available to any Financial Market Publisher or such other vendor chosen by the Depositor that submits to the Certificate Administrator a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-3 to this Agreement or in the form of an electronic certification contained on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, all the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC^® reports and supplemental notices delivered or made available pursuant to this Section 4.02 to Privileged Persons.

(j) Upon request and delivery by CREFC^® of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 hereto (which may be a “click-through” confirmation), the Certificate

-216-

Administrator shall make available to CREFC^®, with respect to any Distribution Date, the related Distribution Date Statement and CREFC^® IRP.

Section 4.03 Compliance with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders and payees of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding. If the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 4.04 REMIC Compliance. (a) The parties intend that the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions at all times any Certificates are outstanding, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC:

(i) make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on Form 1066 for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;

(ii) prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, and the Trustee shall sign, all required Tax Returns for the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of such REMIC as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws;

(iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions;

(iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law;

(v) within 30 days of the Closing Date, obtain a taxpayer identification number for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 and (in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC only), furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on

-217-

Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the person that the Certificateholders may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of the Upper-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and

(vi) maintain such records relating to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

The Certificate Administrator shall be designated as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R or Class LR Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s designation in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection therewith shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to either Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of a Class R Certificate, past or present. Each Holder of Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, cause the EC Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust or cause the imposition of tax on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the EC Trust (other than a tax on income expressly permitted to be received by the terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.04(a) or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) exercise

-218-

reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 860F(a) of the Code, unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (A) result in a taxable gain, (B) otherwise subject the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and (ii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the Trust Fund to receive any contributions, or any income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee or the Depositor shall be (i) permitted to take any action that the Certificate Administrator would not be permitted to take pursuant to the preceding two sentences or (ii) responsible or liable (except in connection with taking any act or omission referred to in the two preceding sentences or the following sentence) for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.

(b) The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates: (i) the Trust Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Trust Loan will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificateholder owning a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Trust Loan is repurchased by the Trust Loan Seller pursuant to Article II hereof.

Section 4.05 Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the EC Trust, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from amounts in the REO Account allocable to the Trust Loan and transfer to the Certificate Administrator amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, which the Certificate Administrator shall maintain in a separate, non-interest-bearing account, and the Certificate Administrator shall send to the Special Servicer for deposit in the REO Account the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in such account over the amount necessary to pay such taxes) and shall be paid therefrom; provided that

-219-

any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(xii) of this Agreement, and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by the applicable Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, on a pro rata basis between the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans) any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the net income allocable to the Trust Loan from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or (ii) the amount of any contribution to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, as the case may be). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R or the Class LR Certificates, as the case may be, and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates and the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates or the Class LR Certificates, as applicable. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03 of this Agreement, in the case of the Master Servicer, Section 6.03 of this Agreement, in the case of the Operating Advisor, Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Trustee or Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in the case of the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the standard of liability set forth in those sections. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall not be responsible for the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s breaches, acts or omissions, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicers and the Operating Advisor shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator.

The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for obtaining a tax identification number for any REMIC specified herein, and 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 IRS regulations.

Section 4.06 Remittances. On the Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to (a) the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, an amount equal to the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and (b) CREFC^® the CREFC^® License Fee.

Section 4.07 P&I Advances and Administrative Advances. (a) On or before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (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; provided, that such amounts in the Collection Account shall only be applied up to the Trust Loan’s pro rata share of the amounts held therein on such dates (unless such P&I Advance has been determined to be nonrecoverable, in which such amounts shall be applied pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement) or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer, except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® License Fee shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC^®. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through either (x) the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made or (y) the deposit of Monthly Payments collected prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period that ends after the P&I Advance Determination Date in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Servicer Remittance Date, then the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.06 of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, in each case unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Back-Up Advancing Agent) by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date or the Back-Up Advancing Agent determines that such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent makes a P&I Advance with respect to the Trust Loan, then the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall provide written notice to the related Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee of the amount of such P&I Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

(b) Subject to Section 4.07(d) and 4.07(e) below, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date shall equal the aggregate of: (i) the Monthly Payment (net of related Servicing Fees) other than the Balloon Payment that was due during the related Collection Period and delinquent (or unpaid, pending the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect to the Trust Loan having a grace period extending past the P&I Advance Determination Date) as of the close of business on the P&I Advance Determination Date (or not advanced by the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer on

-221-

behalf of the Master Servicer) with respect to the Trust Loan and (ii) with respect to the Balloon Payment that was due during or prior to the related Collection Period and was delinquent (including any applicable grace period) as of the end of the related Collection Period (including any REO Loan as to which the 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 or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, to make such P&I Advances with respect to the Trust Loan (or REO Loan) is mandatory, and with respect to the Trust Loan or REO Loan, shall continue until the Distribution Date on which Liquidation Proceeds or REO Proceeds, if any, are to be distributed. The Monthly Payment or Assumed Scheduled Payment shall be reduced, for purposes of P&I Advances, by any modifications pursuant to Section 3.26 of this Agreement or otherwise and by any reductions by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers.

(c) Subject to Section 4.07(d) and 4.07(e) below, the Master Servicer shall also make advances (“Administrative Advances”) with respect to the Trust Loan to pay Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees, Advance Interest Amounts and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Trust or by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee in connection with the servicing and administration of the Whole Loan allocable to the Trust Loan not otherwise covered by a Property Advance, including in connection with any workout of the Trust Loan or enforcement of the terms of the Loan Documents, in each case, to the extent the Borrower (1) is obligated to reimburse the Trust for such amounts pursuant to the Loan Documents and (2) does not pay such amounts on or prior to the time when the party is entitled to payment or reimbursement of such amounts from the Collection Account or the Distribution Account in accordance with terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall deposit Administrative Advances into the Collection Account within the same time frame required for P&I Advances as provided in Section 4.07(a). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Back-Up Advancing Agent and the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of Administrative Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable Administrative Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before the P&I Advance Determination Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required Administrative Advance by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Servicer Remittance Date, then the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall make such Administrative Advance pursuant to Section 7.06 of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, in each case unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Back-Up Advancing Agent) by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Distribution Date or the Back-Up Advancing Agent determines that such Administrative Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Administrative Advance shall be required hereunder if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, determines that such P&I Advance or Administrative Advance (together with interest on such P&I Advance or Administrative Advance, as applicable at the Advance Rate) would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall not make any P&I Advance or Administrative Advance to the extent that it has received written notice that the Special Servicer has determined that such P&I Advance or Administrative Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Administrative Advance. In making such nonrecoverability determination, the

-222-

Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be entitled (i) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to the Trust Loan, the recovery of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, in light of the fact that proceeds on the Trust Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance which is being or may be deferred or delayed, (ii) to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the Whole Loan as it may have been modified, (iii) to consider (among other things) the Mortgaged Property in its “as-is” or then-current condition and occupancy, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (iv) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) (among other things) future expenses and (v) to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.

Any such determination by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent that the Master Servicer or Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Administrative Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be evidenced, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, by a certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the other such party and to the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor (if such determination was made during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period) and the Directing Holder (if such determination was made during a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period) and, in the case of the Back-Up Advancing Agent, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Back-Up Advancing Agent, delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor (if such determination was made during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period) and the Directing Holder (if such determination was made during a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period), in each case sets forth such nonrecoverability determination and the considerations of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (such certificate to be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and other information used by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, to make such determination, together

-223-

with any existing Appraisal or any Updated Appraisal); provided that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Advance previously made or proposed to be made is nonrecoverable and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) notice of such determination, together with a certificate of a Servicing Officer and the supporting information described above. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Advancing Agent.

Any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that a P&I Advance or Administrative Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) may obtain, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance or Administrative Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders.

Notwithstanding the above, (i) the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on, and shall be bound by, any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, if such determination is received prior to the applicable Advance, and (ii) the Master Servicer will be entitled to rely conclusively on, and shall be bound by, any determination of the Special Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, if such determination is received prior to the applicable Advance. The Back-Up Advancing Agent, in determining whether or not an Advance previously made is, or a proposed Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be subject to a good faith business judgment standard. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish the Master Servicer and the Trustee with any information in its possession regarding a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property as each such party may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations.

(e) In connection with the recovery of any Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay itself or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as the case may be (in reverse of such order with respect to the Trust Loan or REO Property) out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Advance Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Advance from the date made with respect to the Trust Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as the case may be, for any outstanding Advance as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account with respect to the Trust Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.06 of this Agreement, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall make an advance for Prepayment Charges, Penalty Charges, Excess Interest or any cure payments and (ii) the interest portion of any P&I Advance with respect to the Trust Loan as to which there has been an Appraisal Reduction Amount will be an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount required to be advanced without giving effect to the Appraisal Reduction Amount and (y) a

-224-

fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of the Trust Loan (as of the immediately preceding Determination Date) less any Appraisal Reduction Amount applicable to the Trust Loan and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of the Trust Loan (as of such immediately preceding Determination Date). All P&I Advances for the Trust Loan that has been modified shall be calculated on the basis of their terms as modified. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Master Servicer nor the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall have any obligation to make a principal and interest advance or an administrative advance with respect to the Companion Loans.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be required to make a P&I Advance for (a) a Balloon Payment, Default Interest, late payment charges, yield maintenance charges or prepayment premiums, (b) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from uninsured causes, any failure of the Mortgaged Property to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Mortgaged Property upon the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Mortgaged Property, (c) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title of the Mortgaged Property, (d) any costs of capital improvements to the Mortgaged Property other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, (e) amounts payable pursuant to any interest rate protection agreement, or (f) any cure payments.

The portion of any Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds in respect of the Trust Loan or any REO Loan allocable to principal shall equal the total amount of such proceeds minus (i) any portion thereof payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) a portion thereof equal to the interest component of the Monthly Payment(s), as accrued at the Whole Loan Rate from the date as to which interest was last paid by the Borrower up to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period in which such proceeds are received; provided, however, that in the event that the interest portion(s) of one or more P&I Advances with respect of the Trust Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, were reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds to be applied to principal has been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan or REO Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Condemnation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest of the Trust Loan or REO Loan.

(f) The Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances or Administrative Advances it makes to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I Advances or Administrative Advances to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such

-225-

Advances from the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Trust Loan and this Agreement.

(g) The Master Servicer will be permitted to make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on the Trust Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Trust Loan in accordance with Section 4.07(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the Companion Loans, by the master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer or Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to the Trust Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any such Trust Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer or Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Property Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer or Back-Up Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall provide the Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and the Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with written notice of such determination, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any master servicer under any such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that such master servicer has determined, with respect to the related Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to the related Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent.

If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that it is no longer approved as a master servicer or a special servicer, as applicable, for commercial mortgage securitizations, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee, any Other Trustee, any Other Servicer and any other trustee or master servicer with respect to each commercial mortgage securitization that holds a Companion Loan, if any.

Section 4.08 Appraisal Reductions; Collateral Deficiency Amounts. (a) For purposes of determining (i) the Controlling Class, (ii) whether a Subordinate Control Period, Subordinate Consultation Period or an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is then in effect, or (iii) Voting Rights of the related Classes for certain purposes, including replacement of the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor, any Appraisal Reduction Amounts (other than Assumed Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class HRR Certificates, second, to the Class C Certificates, third, to the Class B Certificates and fourth, to the Class A Certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts shall not be allocated concurrently to the Principal Balance Certificates.

Following the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the Certificate Administrator shall determine whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Subordinate Consultation

-226-

Period and/or an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is then in effect, and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of such determination and shall post such determination to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

(b) If the Certificate Balance of the Class HRR Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the Trust Loan to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its respective initial Certificate Balance, such Class shall be referred to as an “Appraised-Out Class”. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of the Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second appraisal of the Mortgaged Property (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”), and the Special Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an appraisal from an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request. Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Appraisal Reduction Amount determination shall not be permitted to exercise any rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class and the rights of the Controlling Class shall not be exercised by any Class of Certificates unless a recalculation of the Appraised-Out Class results in the reinstatement of the Appraised-Out Class as the Controlling Class.

In addition, the Requesting Holders of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal of the Mortgaged Property following an Appraisal Reduction Event if an event has occurred at, or with regard to, the Mortgaged Property that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an appraisal from an MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request; 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 Mortgaged Property have occurred that would have a material effect on the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property. The right of the holders of an Appraised-Out Class to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal as described in this paragraph shall be limited to no more frequently than once in any 9 month period.

Upon receipt of such additional appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall direct the Master Servicer to recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each Appraised-Out Class shall have its Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such second appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class will be reinstated as a Controlling Class.

As of the first Determination Date following the Whole Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Master Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan, and all other information relevant to a

-227-

Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. The Special Servicer, upon reasonable prior written request, shall provide the Master Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount. None of the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

Appraisals that are permitted to be obtained at the request of the holders of the Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement) or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Requesting Holder.

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining whether the Class HRR Certificates is the Controlling Class or whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period is then in effect, the Controlling Class Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts, in accordance with this Section 4.08(b). The appraised value of the Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as is” basis.

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of the Appraised-Out Class (the “Threshold Cure Holder”) may avoid the termination of a Subordinate Control Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount if such Threshold Cure Holder delivers Threshold Event Collateral as a supplement to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property to the Master Servicer together with documentation acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust in such collateral (which delivery shall be completed by the Threshold Cure Holder within thirty (30) days of the Special Servicer’s receipt of a third party Appraisal that indicates that the termination of a Subordinate Control Period has occurred) and provide notice to the Special Servicer of its election to provide the Threshold Event Collateral (a “Threshold Event Cure”). If a Threshold Event Cure occurs, the termination of the Subordinate Control Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount that would have occurred but for such Threshold Event Cure shall be deemed not to have occurred. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the letter of credit shall have an initial term no shorter than 6 months and contain an evergreen clause providing for automatic renewal for additional periods not less than 6 months. The Threshold Cure Holder shall renew such letter of credit (and provide notice of such renewal) at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit or replace such letter of credit with a substitute letter of credit or other Threshold Event Collateral with an expiration date that is greater than 45 days from the date of substitution. If the Master Servicer does not receive notice of such renewal at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit or if the Master Servicer receives notice that the letter of credit will not be renewed, then the Master Servicer shall promptly draw upon such letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such letter of credit into the Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the applicable Threshold Cure Holder shall replace such letter of credit with other Threshold Event Collateral within 30 days if the credit ratings of the Threshold Collateral Issuer are downgraded below the required ratings; provided, however, that, if such Threshold Event Collateral is not so replaced,

-228-

the Master Servicer shall draw upon such letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such letter of credit into the Threshold Event Cash Collateral Account.

The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent the termination of a Subordinate Control Period from occurring (and should the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral be insufficient, the Threshold Cure Holder shall have 30 days from the new third party Appraisal to deliver new Threshold Event Collateral as supplement to the newly appraised value), or (ii) a Final Recovery Determination. If the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, upon any redetermination thereof, is sufficient to avoid the termination of a Subordinate Control Period without taking into consideration any, or some portion of, Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by the Threshold Cure Holder, any or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Master Servicer shall be promptly returned to such Threshold Cure Holder (at its direction and sole expense). Upon a Final Recovery Determination (and after giving effect to the distribution of all proceeds in connection with such Final Recovery Determination), such cash or proceeds of the letter of credit constituting Threshold Event Collateral shall be distributed in the following order: (i) first, to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account to reimburse Certificateholders for all amounts due on the Certificates, including any unreimbursed Realized Losses, (ii) second, any remaining amounts, to pay all other trust fund expenses reimbursable under this Agreement, and (iii) finally, any remaining amounts, to the Threshold Cure Holder. Any Threshold Event Collateral shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as an “outside reserve fund” (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto) and shall be beneficially owned by the Threshold Cure Holder who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto.

The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Whole Loan (which notification shall be made by delivery of the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof) and the amount of any Collateral Deficiency Amount allocated to the AB Modified Loan (which notification shall be made by delivery of such information included in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File and the CREFC^® Appraisal Reduction Template or such report mutually agreed to between the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, which shall be delivered simultaneously with the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall redetermine whether a Subordinate Control Period, Subordinate Consultation Period and/or Operating Advisor Consultation Period is then in effect and shall notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.

Section 4.09 EC Trust Reporting.

(a) The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the EC Trust.

(b) The parties intend that the EC Trust be reported as a “grantor trust” as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator

-229-

shall not (i) intentionally or knowingly vary the assets of the EC Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations so as to improve the rate of return of the Regular Certificates or the Class ELP Certificates and (ii) intentionally or unintentionally cause the EC Trust to fail to be treated as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS Form SS-4, Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the applicable Certificates their allocable share of income and expense, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

(c) As of the Closing Date, the EC Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. Therefore, the Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations, to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the IRS makes a determination that the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.

(d) The Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via its website) WHFIT information with respect to the EC Trust to the Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

(e) The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, shall be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale.

(f) To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to make available the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published shall represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Certificate Administrator will not make available any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Trustee shall use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

Section 5.01 The Certificates. (a) The Certificates consist of the Class A Certificates, the Class X Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class HRR Certificates, the Class ELP Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the Class LR Certificates.

The Class A, Class X, Class B, Class C, Class ELP, Class HRR, Class R and Class LR Certificates will be substantially in the forms of Exhibits A-1 through A-8 to this Agreement, as set forth in the Table of Exhibits to this Agreement. The Certificates of each Class (other than the Class ELP, Class LR and Class R Certificates) will be issuable in registered form only, in minimum denominations of authorized Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, as described in the succeeding table, and multiples of $l in excess thereof (or such lesser amount if the Certificate Balance is not a multiple of $1). With respect to any Certificate or any beneficial interest in a Certificate, the “Denomination” thereof shall be (i) the amount (A) set forth on the face thereof or (B) in the case of any Global Certificate, set forth on a schedule attached thereto or, in the case of any beneficial interest in a Global Certificate, the amount set forth on the books and records of the related Depository Participant or indirect participating brokerage firm, as applicable, (ii) expressed in terms of Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, and (iii) be in an authorized denomination, as set forth below.

Class	Minimum Denomination	Minimum Denomination for Certificates of Class Issued to Qualified Institutional Buyers	Aggregate Denomination of all Certificates of Class
A	$100,000	$10,000	$450,000,000
X	$1,000,000	$1,000,000	$450,000,000
B	$100,000	$10,000	$116,000,000
C	$100,000	$10,000	$43,400,000
HRR	$100,000	$10,000	$40,600,000

Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class. The Class ELP, Class R and Class LR Certificates will each be issuable in one or more registered, definitive physical certificates in minimum denominations of 5% Percentage Interests and integral multiples of a 1% Percentage Interest in excess thereof and together aggregating the entire 100% Percentage Interest in each such Class.

The Global Certificates shall be issued as one or more certificates registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository, and Beneficial Owners shall hold interests in the Global Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in the minimum Denominations and aggregate Denominations and Classes as set forth above.

The Global Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Individual Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder.

-231-

(b) Except insofar as pertains to any Individual Certificate, the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Global Certificates and the giving of notice to Holders thereof) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Global Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder; provided, however, that for purposes of transmitting communications pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, to the extent that the Depository has provided the Certificate Administrator with the names of Beneficial Owners (even if such Certificateholders hold their Certificates through the Depository) the Certificate Administrator shall provide such information to such Beneficial Owners directly. The rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to Global Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificateholders and the Depository and Depository Participants. Except as set forth in Section 5.01(e) below, Beneficial Owners of Global Certificates shall not be entitled to physical certificates for the Global Certificates as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Global Certificates shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.01 of this Agreement and Applicable Procedures, the holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may request that the Certificate Administrator cause the Depository (or any Agent Member) to notify the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Custodian in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate or Certificates. Upon receipt of such a request and payment by the related Beneficial Owner of any attendant expenses, the Certificate Administrator shall cause the issuance and delivery of such Individual Certificates. The Depositor may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date. Without the written consent of the Certificate Registrar, no Global Certificate may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold the Global Certificates for the account of the Beneficial Owners.

(c) Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.

(d) The Global Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository’s instructions on behalf of the Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and in either case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

“Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY

-232-

TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein”.

The Global Certificates may be deposited with such other Depository as the Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate.

(e) If (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able properly to discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option, elects in writing to the Certificate Administrator and to the Depository to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository with respect to all or any portion of any Class of Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the affected Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners through the Depository of the occurrence of such event and the availability of Individual Certificates to such Beneficial Owners requesting them. Upon surrender to the Certificate Administrator of Global Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate Administrator shall issue the Individual Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall recognize the Holders of Individual Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(f) If the Trustee, its agents, the Certificate Administrator, its agents or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer have instituted or have been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the Certificates, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to obtain possession of the Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in their sole discretion determine that the Certificates represented by the Global Certificates shall no longer be represented by such Global Certificates. In such event, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent will execute and authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Global Certificates, Individual Certificates (and if the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Custodian has in its possession Individual Certificates previously executed, the Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will deliver such Certificates) in a Denomination equal to the aggregate Denomination of such Global Certificates.

(g) Each Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or similar form, and each Certificate shall, upon original issue, be executed and authenticated by the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent and delivered to, or at the order of, the Depositor. All Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Certificate

-233-

Administrator or Authenticating Agent by an authorized officer or signatory. Certificates bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer or signatory of the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent shall bind the Certificate Administrator or Authenticating Agent, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office or position prior to the delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such office or position at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Exhibits A-1 through A-8 executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(h) If, in connection with any Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall have reported the amount of an anticipated distribution to the Depository based on the expected receipt of any monthly payment based on information set forth in any report of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or any other monthly payment, Balloon Payment or prepayment expected to be paid on the last two (2) Business Days preceding such Distribution Date, and the Borrower fails to make such payments at such time, and the Master Servicer revises its final report and as a result the Certificate Administrator revises its report to the Depository after the Depository deadline, the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be liable or held responsible for any resulting delay (or claims by DTC resulting therefrom) in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders. Any out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Certificate Administrator as a consequence of the Borrower failing to make such payments shall be reimbursable to the Certificate Administrator as an expense of the Trust Fund. Any such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust Fund.

Section 5.02 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its offices books (the “Certificate Register”) for the registration, transfer and exchange of Certificates (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). The Depositor, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate Register. The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and the names and addresses of the transferees of any Certificates shall be registered in the Certificate Register; provided, however, that in no event shall the Certificate Registrar be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the names of the individual Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Trust Fund through the Depository. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the Depositor, Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. An Individual Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at its offices together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the requirements of (g) and Sections 5.02(c), Section 5.02(d), Section 5.02(e), Section

-234-

5.02(f), Section 5.02(g), Section 5.02(h) and Section 5.02(i) of this Agreement. Upon request of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar shall provide the Certificate Administrator with the names, addresses and Percentage Interests of the Holders.

The Risk Retained Certificates shall only be held as an Individual Certificate in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and the Retaining Party shall be registered on the Certificate Register), unless otherwise consented to by the Retaining Sponsor. The Certificate Administrator shall hold each Risk Retained Certificate in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of written instructions in accordance with this Agreement from the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor’s consent (subject to this Section 5.02(a)), and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account” and into which each Risk Retained Certificate 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 Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account for the Retaining Party. Each Risk Retained Certificate to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of any Risk Retained Certificate in connection with the initial issuance thereof and, for so long as the Risk Retained Certificates are held in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Article V of any Risk Retained Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Retaining Party a receipt in the form set forth in Exhibit V. No amounts distributable to the Risk Retained Certificates shall be remitted to the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, but instead shall be remitted directly to (or otherwise at the direction of) the Retaining Party in accordance with written instructions provided separately on the Closing Date (and any updates to such written instructions provided from time to time) by the Retaining Party to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping any Risk Retained Certificate shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any Person on behalf of the Retaining Party. The Certificate Administrator shall hold the Individual Certificate representing the Risk Retained Certificates at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to the Retaining Party of such new location:

Deutsche Bank National Trust Company

c/o DB Services Americas, Inc.

5022 Gate Parkway

Jacksonville, Florida 32256

Attention: Transfer Unit

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver written confirmation to the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and the initial Third Party Purchaser substantially in the form of Exhibit V to this Agreement evidencing its receipt of the Risk Retained Certificates.

-235-

The Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Retaining Party its respective account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and such Retaining Party, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Risk Retained Certificate shall be subject to this Article V.

After the release of any Risk Retained Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.02(a), the Certificate Administrator shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the safekeeping of such released Risk Retained Certificates.

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Individual Certificate, subject to the requirements of Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the Individual Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Each new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the transferring Holder may request, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01(g) and 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement.

(c) In addition to the provisions of Sections 5.01(g) and 5.02(d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of this Agreement and the rules of the Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of Individual Certificates or beneficial interests in the Global Certificates shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(i) Transfers between Holders of Individual Certificates. With respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an Individual Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate (other than transfers of the Class R or Class LR Certificates, which may be made only in accordance with Section 5.02(i)):

(A) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate if (1) the requested transfer is being made (x) in connection with the initial transfer from the Initial Purchaser to an initial investor or (y) by a transferee who has provided the Certificate Registrar with an Investment Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to this Agreement (an “Investment Representation Letter”), to the effect that the transfer is being made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A or (2) prior to the transfer the related transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar (x) an Investment Representation Letter to the effect that the transfer is being made to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) or to an Affiliated Person in accordance with an applicable exemption under the Act, and (y) in the case of a transfer to an Affiliated Person, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such transfer is in compliance with the Act; or

(B) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate pursuant to Regulation S after the expiration of the Restricted Period if

-236-

(1) the transferor has provided the Certificate Registrar with a Regulation S Transfer Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement (a “Regulation S Transfer Certificate”), and (2) the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter;

and, in each case, the Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Certificate only if prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a written undertaking by the transferor to reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may, as a condition of the registration of any such transfer, require the transferor to furnish such other certificates, legal opinions or other information (at the transferor’s expense) as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.

(ii) Transfers within the Global Certificates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers within the Global Certificates shall only be made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(ii).

(A) Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate During the Restricted Period. If, during the Restricted Period, a Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate, such Beneficial Owner may, in addition to complying with all applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and Clearstream or Euroclear applicable to transfers by their respective participants (the “Applicable Procedures”), transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)(A). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit H to this Agreement given by the Beneficial Owner of such interest, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A

-237-

Global Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be an Agent Member acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the ease may be) a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate having a Denomination equal to the amount by which the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate was reduced upon such transfer.

(B) Rule 144A Global Certificate to Regulation S Global Certificate After the Restricted Period. If, after the Restricted Period, a Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate, such holder may, in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)(ii)(B). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I to this Agreement given by the Beneficial Owner of such interest, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate having a Denomination equal to the amount by which the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate was reduced upon such transfer.

(C) Regulation S Global Certificate to Rule 144A Global Certificate. If the Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such Beneficial Owner may, in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section

-238-

5.02(c)(ii)(C). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate in an amount equal to the Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member to be credited with, and the account of the Agent Member or, if such account is held for Euroclear or Clearstream, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be debited for, such beneficial interest, and (3) with respect to a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate for a beneficial interest in the related Rule 144A Global Certificate (i) during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit J to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest or (ii) after the Restricted Period, an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to reduce the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate to be transferred, and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Denomination of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate having a Denomination equal to the amount by which the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate was reduced upon such transfer.

(iii) Transfers from the Global Certificates to Individual Certificates. Any and all transfers from a Global Certificate to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will require the transferee to take delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual Certificate described in a legend set forth on the face of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement (the “Securities Legend”), and such transferee agrees that it will transfer such Individual Certificate only as provided therein and herein. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(iii).

(A) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an initial transfer from the Initial Purchaser to an Institutional Accredited Investor) will require delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate and the Certificate Registrar shall register such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(A) of this Agreement.

(B) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Regulation S Investor wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Certificate will be registered by the Certificate Registrar

-239-

only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02(c)(i)(A) and (B) of this Agreement, respectively.

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to an Individual Certificate pursuant to subparagraph (B) above shall be made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.

Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the Denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the Denomination of such Individual Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Certificate issued upon transfer of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the Global Certificate shall bear the Securities Legend.

(iv) Transfers of Individual Certificates to the Global Certificates. If a Holder of an Individual Certificate wishes at any time to transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Certificate or the related Rule 144A Global Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and this Section 5.02(c)(iv). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office of (l) the Individual Certificate to be transferred with an assignment and transfer pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Agreement, (2) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate or such Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member and, in the case of any transfer pursuant to Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be, to be credited with such beneficial interest, and (4) (x) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee and, if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Transfer Certificate from the transferor or (y) an Investment Representation Letter from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall cancel such Individual Certificate, execute and deliver a new Individual Certificate for the Denomination of the Individual Certificate not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s transferee (as instructed by the Holder), and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to increase the Denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate or the Rule 144A Global Certificate, as the case may be, by the Denomination of the Individual Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions who, in the

-240-

case of any increase in the Regulation S Global Certificate during the Restricted Period, shall be an Agent Member acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be, a corresponding Denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate or the Regulation S Global Certificate, as the case may be.

It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate other than the initial transfer from the Initial Purchaser to an Institutional Accredited Investor.

(v) All Transfers. An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate or Certificates, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or Certificates for another Individual Certificate or Certificates (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and, in the case of the Global Certificates, so long as the Global Certificates remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of the Depository), may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02 and in accordance with the rules of the Depository and Applicable Procedures.

(d) If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates not bearing the Securities Legend, the Certificates so issued shall not bear the Securities Legend. If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing the Securities Legend, or if a request is made to remove the Securities Legend on a Certificate, the Certificates so issued shall bear the Securities Legend, or the Securities Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the removal of such legend) familiar with United States securities laws, as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar, that neither the Securities Legend nor the restrictions on transfers set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of any Certificate comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Act or that such Certificate is not a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and deliver a Certificate that does not bear the Securities Legend.

(e) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in Section 5.01(i) and in this Section 5.02, the Holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (with a denomination equal to any authorized denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or at the office of any transfer agent appointed as provided under this Agreement, together with an instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a written request for exchange, in the case of exchange. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request if made at such office of the Certificate Registrar or within ten Business Days if made at the office of a transfer agent (other than the Certificate Registrar), execute and deliver at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of such transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first-class mail (at the risk of the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the case of exchange) to such address as the

-241-

transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of a transfer agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period of 15 days preceding any Distribution Date.

(f) An Individual Certificate (other than an Individual Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Agreement) or a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate may only be transferred to Eligible Investors or Regulation S Investors, as described herein. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that such an Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Global Certificate is being held by or for the benefit of a Person who is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of a relevant jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the investor to sell such Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Global Certificate to an Eligible Investor within fourteen days after notice of such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.

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

(h) No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in this Section 5.02 other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, as provided herein. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer.

(i) Subject to Section 5.02(e) of this Agreement, transfers of the Class R and Class LR Certificates may be made only in accordance with this Section 5.02(i). The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Class R or Class LR Certificate only if (x) the transferor has advised the Certificate Registrar in writing that such Certificate is being transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Affiliated Person and (y) prior to such transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate Registrar an Investment Representation Letter. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may as a condition of the registration of any such transfer require the transferor to furnish such other certifications, legal opinions or other information (at the transferor’s expense) as it may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being

-242-

made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.

(j) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Act and such state securities laws. Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar are obligated to register or qualify the Certificates under the Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to affect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Initial Purchaser and the Certificate Registrar, against any loss, liability or expense that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(k) No transfer of any Class ELP, Class R or Class LR Certificate (each, a “Restricted Certificate”) shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other plan or retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or a Keogh plan, which is subject to 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 fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (ii) any Person acting on behalf of any Plan or using the assets of any Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified in operation by Section 3(42) of ERISA)) to acquire any such Restricted Certificate. Each prospective transferee of a Restricted Certificate (other than in the case of the initial transfer from the Initial Purchaser to an initial investor) shall deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator, a transfer or representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 to this Agreement, stating that the prospective transferee is not and will not become a Person referred to in (i) or (ii) above. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall register a Class ELP, Class R or Class LR Certificate in any Person’s name unless such Person has provided the letter referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Each beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than a Class ELP, Class R or Class LR Certificate) or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or interest therein, that (i) it is not a Plan and is not acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan (including any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA)) to purchase the Certificates, or (ii) in the case of a Certificate that meets the rating requirements of the Underwriter Exemption at the time of purchase, that (w) it has acquired and is holding such Certificate or an interest therein in reliance on the Underwriter Exemption, (x) it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter Exemption, including that the certificate must have, at the time of purchase, at least one investment grade rating from a rating agency that meets the requirements of the Underwriter Exemption and that such Certificate is so rated, and (y) it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D. Any

-243-

transfer of a Certificate that would violate these restrictions or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio.

Each purchaser of Certificates that is a Plan subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (“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 Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (and the applicable regulations) to the ERISA Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the ERISA Plan in connection with the ERISA Plan’s acquisition of Certificates, and (ii) the ERISA Plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Certificates.

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

(i) Each Person acquiring or holding any Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(l) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Ownership Interest as fully as possible.

(ii) No Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require delivery to it in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (i) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of an Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (iii) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Ownership Interest as they become due, (iv) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Ownership Interest to

-244-

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

(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, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

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

Upon written notice to the Certificate Registrar, or upon the Certificate Registrar having actual knowledge, that there has occurred a Transfer of an Ownership Interest to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Ownership Interest, or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R or Class LR Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

-245-

(m) 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 information relating to such Certificateholder solely to the extent necessary for the Certificate Administrator to determine any required withholding amounts. 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. In connection with the foregoing, such holders shall be required to provide any information that the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request to perform its tax obligations.

(n) At all times during the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of the Class HRR Certificates after the Closing Date is to be made, then the Certificate Administrator in conjunction with the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor, (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor (if different) with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Party and the Retaining Sponsor (if different), (iii) an IRS Form W-9 completed by the prospective transferee and (iv) wiring instructions and contact information of the prospective transferee. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.02(e), register the Transfer of the Class HRR Certificate, reflect such Class HRR Certificate in the name of the prospective transferee and deliver written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit S. The Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of any Class HRR Certificate after the Closing Date during the Transfer Restriction Period unless it is so instructed by the Certificate Administrator. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Class HRR Certificate is to be made and such Class HRR Certificate is in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, then upon receipt of: (i) a certification from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor and (ii) a certification from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor, the Certificate Administrator (which may conclusively rely upon such certifications) shall instruct the Certificate Registrar to register such Transfer, and upon receipt of the Certificate Administrator’s instruction, the Certificate Registrar shall register the Transfer of the Class HRR Certificate and reflect such Class HRR Certificate in the name of the prospective transferee. After the termination of the Transfer Restriction Period, if a transfer of a Class HRR Certificate is to be made and such Class HRR Certificate is in the Risk Retained Certificate Safekeeping Account, the Certificate Registrar shall not register a Transfer of such Class HRR Certificate unless it is so

-246-

instructed by the Certificate Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Class HRR Certificate be held as a Book-Entry Certificate during the Transfer Restriction Period. After the Transfer Restriction Period, a Class HRR Certificate may be transferred subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article V. Any transfer of an interest in a Class HRR Certificate that is not in compliance with this Section 5.02 shall be null and void ab initio to the extent permitted under applicable law.

-249-

Confirmation (and each rating agency then rating the Companion Loan Securities has provided a No Downgrade Confirmation) relating to the Certificates; provided, however, that no Rating Agency shall be required to provide a No Downgrade Confirmation if (x) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor is merged into or consolidated with a Qualified Affiliate or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a Qualified Affiliate or (y) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor enters into a merger and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity under the applicable law, in which case, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall also not, as a result of the merger, be required to obtain the consent of the Depositor.

(b) None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action, unless such action relates to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability not recoverable from the Trust Fund; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account (in accordance with Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement) no later than 60 days after submitting such expenses or costs for reimbursement, provided that a failure to reimburse such parties within such 60 days will not affect or limit such parties’ rights to receive reimbursement hereunder; provided that such amounts shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provision of the Co-Lender Agreement.

Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.02 of this Agreement and this Section 6.04, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not resign from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon either (i) the determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) in connection with the assignment of rights and delegation of duties as set forth in Section 6.04(a).

No resignation or removal of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the resigning or terminated Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. If no successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be treated as Realized Losses.

Solely with respect to their performance of their respective duties under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Initial Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations. Upon written request, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee its most recent publicly available financial statements (or, with respect to the Master Servicer, those of its ultimate parent) and such other non-proprietary information as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion as it possesses, which is relevant to the performance of its duties hereunder and which it is not prohibited by applicable law or contract from disclosing. The Depositor is not obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, however, the Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise any rights of such Person hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of their respective obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee

-253-

undertakes any such action, it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Account, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03(a) hereof to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure to act by the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (solely with respect to any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer), shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and no such party is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.06 The Master Servicer or Special Servicer as Owners of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Beneficial Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may, but will not be required to, seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action (or inaction) by delivering to the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action (or inaction) that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take (or refrain from taking). The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding a majority of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

Section 6.07 Selection and Removal of the Directing Holder. (a) The Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder, as determined by the Certificate Registrar from time to time, may serve as, or may appoint as representative to serve as, the Directing Holder; provided that if no Certificateholder holds Certificates representing more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance), then the Directing Holder shall be the representative appointed by the

Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns, and is identified (with contact information) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator as owning, the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling Class; and provided, further, (i) upon receipt by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator of notice from the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder or the Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balances of Controlling Class Certificates, as applicable, that a Directing Holder is no longer so designated, (ii) if no representative is appointed as the Directing Holder or (iii) if the Directing Holder is required to have resigned due to becoming a Borrower Related Party, there shall be no Directing Holder until a Directing Holder that is not a Borrower Related Party is appointed. Each Holder of the Certificates of the Controlling Class that is not a Borrower Related Party shall be entitled to vote in each election of the Directing Holder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Directing Holder cannot be a Borrower Related Party.

(b) The initial Directing Holder shall provide a written certification to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date certifying that (i) it is not a Borrower Related Party, (ii) it is the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) or, if no Certificateholder holds Certificates representing more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance), then it owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling Class, (iii) the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator and Trustee may conclusively rely on such certification and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall have no liability for such reliance and (iv) in the event the then existing Directing Holder is no longer the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance) or the owner of the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of Certificates of the Controlling Class, as applicable, the Directing Holder shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and each party to this Agreement in writing that it is no longer the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (by Certificate Balance).

(c) The initial Directing Holder is Blue Owl Real Estate Debt Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and agent for the managed account of the Third Party Purchaser. The Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder, if any, shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the appointment of any subsequent Directing Holder (in order to receive notices hereunder).

(d) The Directing Holder may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the written vote of the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder, and a copy of the results of such vote shall be delivered to each party to this Agreement.

(e) The 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 Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Certificate of the Controlling Class, the selection of a Directing Holder or the resignation or removal thereof. Any Certificateholder or its designee at any time appointed Directing Holder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Certificate Administrator of its identity and contact information when such Certificateholder or its designee is appointed Directing Holder

-255-

and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer of the identity and contact information of the Directing Holder and any resignation or removal thereof.

On the Closing Date, the initial Directing Holder shall execute and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1-C to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Holder, any successor Directing Holder shall also deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1-C to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Directing Holder.

(f) Once a Directing Holder has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder shall have notified each other party to this Agreement and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Directing Holder or the selection of a new Directing Holder (with contact information).

(g) Until it receives notice to the contrary, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the identity and contact information of the Directing Holder.

(h) The Directing Holder shall be responsible for its own expenses.

(i) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee may from time to time request that the Certificate Administrator provide the name of the then-current Directing Holder. Upon such request, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) provide the name of the then-current Directing Holder to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, but only to the extent the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Directing Holder; provided that if the Certificate Administrator does not have actual knowledge of the identity of the then-current Directing Holder, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following such request) request from the Depository, with the assistance of the Trustee, the list of DTC participants for the Controlling Class and make reasonable efforts to obtain a list of Beneficial Owners from such DTC participants, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such list of DTC participants and such list of Beneficial Owners (to the extent the Certificate Administrator obtains such list of Beneficial Owners), to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the list of DTC participants for the Controlling Class provided by the Depository and the list of Beneficial Owners provided by any DTC participant and shall not have any liability for such reliance. Any expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such information shall be at the expense of the requesting party; provided that if (i) such expenses arise in connection with an event as to which the Directing Holder has review, consent or consultation rights with respect to an action taken by, or report prepared by, the requesting party pursuant to

-256-

this Agreement and (ii) the requesting party has not been notified of the identity of the Directing Holder or reasonably believes that the identity of the Directing Holder has changed, then such expenses shall be at the expense of the Trust. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such information so provided. If the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholder does not give written notice to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of the appointment of any subsequent Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.07(c), and if the identity of the Directing Holder is not provided by the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have no obligation to consult with, provide notice to or seek approval of such Directing Holder. To the extent the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has written notice of any change in the identity of a Directing Holder or the list of Holders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable) of the Controlling Class, then the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer thereof, who may rely conclusively on such notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

Section 6.08 Limitation on Liability of Directing Holder; Acknowledgements of the Certificateholders. The Directing Holder will have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or refraining from the taking of any action, in accordance with or as permitted by this Agreement. Each holder of any Certificates shall acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its Certificate, that: (i) the Directing Holder and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may each have relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates and/or Companion Loan Holder; (ii) the Directing Holder and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Directing Holder and the Holders of the Controlling Class do not have any duties to the Trust or to the Holders of any Class of Certificates or the Companion Loan Holder; (iv) the Directing Holder and/or any Controlling Class Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates or the Companion Loan Holder; (v) neither the Directing Holder nor the Holders of the Controlling Class shall have any liability whatsoever to the Trust, the parties to this Agreement, the Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holder or any other Person (including the Borrower) for having acted in accordance with or as permitted under the terms of this Agreement; and (vi) the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holder may not take any action whatsoever against the Directing Holder or any Holder the Controlling Class or any of the respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals thereof as a result of the Directing Holder or the Holders the Controlling Class having acted in accordance with the terms of and as permitted under this Agreement.

Section 6.09 Rights and Powers of the Directing Holder. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in this Section 6.09, (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer (which consent shall be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not object within fifteen (15) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, sixty (60) days) of receipt of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation together with any information in the possession of the Master Servicer that is reasonably required to make a decision regarding the subject action), and (ii) during any

-257-

Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) after receipt of the Major Decision Reporting Package from the Special Servicer, together with any information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably requested by the Directing Holder to make a decision regarding the subject action (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day) period, then the Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such action); provided that if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period or consultation with the Operating Advisor during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s (or, the Operating Advisor’s in the case of the Special Servicer) response; provided, further, that the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, has used reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to contact the Directing Holder prior to taking such action; provided, further, that the Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Holder for any of the foregoing actions during any Subordinate Consultation Period; provided, further, that the Special Servicer will be required to consult, solely on a non-binding basis (and to consider alternative actions recommended by each such party) during any Subordinate Consultation Period, with the Directing Holder with respect to any of the Major Decisions and any other matter as to which consent of the Directing Holder would have been required during any Subordinate Control Period; provided, further, that for so long as there is no Directing Holder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any Directing Holder, it being acknowledged that the initial Directing Holder is set forth in Section 6.07(c) hereof.

With respect to any action requiring the consent of, or consultation with, the Directing Holder under this Agreement, such consent shall be deemed given or consultation deemed waived if the Directing Holder does not respond within 10 Business Days unless otherwise specified.

If no Directing Holder has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 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 the Directing Holder, it being acknowledged that the initial Directing Holder is set forth in Section 6.07(c) hereof.

In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Whole Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no direction or

-258-

objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, may (a) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Loan Documents, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (b) expose any Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust or their affiliates, officers, directors or agent to any claim, suit or liability, (c) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust or (d) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder. Furthermore, in addition to the Directing Holder’s rights of consent and consultation (as applicable) as set forth in Section 6.09(a) above, it is understood and agreed that to the extent any other provision of this Agreement requires the provision of notice to, the obtaining of consent of, and/or consultation with, the Directing Holder, or otherwise provides for any right of the Directing Holder thereunder, then none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take any action (or omit to take any action) in contravention of the applicable rights of the Directing Holder contained in such provision; provided however, if the Directing Holder has not objected to any request for consent within ten (10) Business Days, such consent shall be deemed given; provided, further, that this sentence is not intended to in any way to (i) expand the rights of the Directing Holder, (ii) limit the application of the immediately preceding sentence, (iii) remove any limitations on the exercise of such rights set forth in such other provisions, or (iv) require the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer to send a notice to, obtain the consent of, or consult with a new Directing Holder whose name and contact information have not yet been provided to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer; and provided, further, that if such other provisions are in any way subject to this Section 6.09, then the exercise of such rights shall be subject to the immediately following paragraph and Section 6.09(b).

If the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any direction or advice from the Directing Holder or any recommendation by the Operating Advisor would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law, provisions of the Code or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction or advice and notify the Directing Holder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Holder that does not violate the Loan Documents, any intercreditor agreement, any applicable law, provisions of the Code or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, shall not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Special Servicer shall provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the Operating Advisor at the same time that it is required to provide such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Holder (without regard to whether a Subordinate Control Period exists and otherwise assuming that the Directing Holder is entitled to receive such documentation). With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any

-259-

Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer shall make available to the Operating Advisor Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the Whole Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the Operating Advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall send notice to the Operating Advisor notifying it of the Directing Holder’s denial, approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package within 10 days of such denial, approval or deemed approval. In addition, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor (telephonically or electronically) in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the Operating Advisor hereunder) 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 Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which such request shall contain a Major Decision Reporting Package if the matter relates to a Major Decision) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation and in the Special Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer 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 Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the Whole Loan.

(b) At any time other than during a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder shall have no consultation rights under this Agreement 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 Directing Holder; provided that the Directing Holder (if and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) will maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement.

(c) If no Directing Holder has been appointed or identified to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 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 the Directing Holder.

Section 6.10 Directing Holder and Operating Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special Servicer. Upon reasonable request, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to answer questions from the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Subordinate Consultation Period) and the Operating Advisor (during any Operating Advisor Consultation Period) regarding the performance and servicing of the Trust Loan (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer’s operational activities on a platform level basis related to the servicing of the Specially Serviced Loan and the servicing of any REO Property) for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

-260-

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 if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment and consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.

Section 6.11 The Operating Advisor.

(a) The Operating Advisor shall, as provided in this Agreement, review (i) the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan and, any Major Decisions with respect to the Whole Loan when it is not a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a Major Decision Reporting Package has been delivered to the Operating Advisor, (ii) all reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise provided to the Operating Advisor pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) each Asset Status Report (during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period) and each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer. The Operating Advisor shall perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

(b) Subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Holder in connection with the Directing Holder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with this transaction, except under the circumstances described in Section 6.11(h) and subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

With respect to the determination of whether a Subordinate Control Period, Operating Advisor Consultation Period or Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect, or has terminated, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor are each entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof or any notice posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this Agreement, and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor, Master Servicer or Special Servicer that are performed only during a Subordinate Control Period, Operating Advisor Consultation Period and/or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Operating Advisor, Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Subordinate Control Period, Operating Advisor Consultation Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, as applicable.

(c) Based on the Operating Advisor’s review of (i) any assessment of compliance and any attestation report delivered to the Operating Advisor or made available to the

-261-

Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, any Final Asset Status Report and reports by the Special Servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year that are relevant to the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall ((A) if the Whole Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or (B) if an Operating Advisor Consultation Period was in effect during the prior calendar year and the Whole Loan was the subject of a Major Decision) deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d)) 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 S (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, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, as to whether 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 the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan (and, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, with respect to Major Decisions on the Whole Loan even if it is not a Specially Serviced Loan) during the prior calendar year on the basis described in the following paragraph and identifying (1) which, if any, standards the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the Special Servicer has failed to comply with and (2) any material deviations from the Special Servicer’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property and, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, the Whole Loan even if it is not a Specially Serviced Loan (solely with respect to Major Decisions with respect thereto); provided, 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. In preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to 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. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Operating Advisor will not be obligated to prepare an annual report with respect to any calendar year unless at least one of the following occurs with respect to such calendar year: (i) the Operating Advisor receives a Final Asset Status Report with respect to the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan; (ii) the Operating Advisor is entitled to consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any Major Decision; or (iii) the Operating Advisor does not receive a Final Asset Status Report for the Whole Loan if it was a Specially Serviced Loan for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days following the Whole Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 4.02) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d)); provided, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the

-262-

Operating Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to such annual report’s delivery to 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.

(d) The Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be prepared on the basis of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan (and, during an Operating Advisor Consultation Period, with respect to Major Decisions on the Whole Loan even if it is not a Specially Serviced Loan) 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, any attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and any other information 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) or made available to the Operating Advisor on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations 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 reliance thereon. 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 may, to the extent the Operating Advisor deems relevant, set forth any such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information.

(f) With respect to the Whole Loan, after the subject calculation has been calculated by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (but prior to the utilization by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of any of the calculations), the Master Servicer (in connection with any calculation related to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amounts) or the Special Servicer (in connection with any calculation related to net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(h) used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of the Whole Loan if it is a Specially Serviced Loan), as applicable, shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor (and in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession, as applicable, or that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer could reasonably obtain) to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information), 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

-263-

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

In connection with this Section 6.11(f), if the Operating Advisor does not agree in any material respect with the mathematical calculations or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portion(s) of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portion(s) of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. If the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, 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 Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, and the Operating Advisor and shall determine which calculation is to apply (and shall provide prompt written notice of such determination to the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable). In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such third party’s determination (provided such third party has been selected with reasonable care by the Certificate Administrator).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and so long as an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is not in effect, the Operating Advisor’s review may be limited to an after-the-action review of any assessment of compliance, attestation report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website during the prior calendar year (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the Operating Advisor), and, therefore, in such cases, it shall have no involvement with respect to the determination and execution of Major Decisions and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Operating Advisor’s review of net present value calculations as required in Section 6.11(f) above, the Operating Advisor’s recalculation shall not take into account the reasonableness of the Special Servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

(h) The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class Certificateholders (or the Directing Holder)), other than (i) to the extent expressly set forth herein, 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 regarding 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

-264-

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 an Operating Advisor Consultation Period is in effect, the Directing Holder, other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement related to Privileged Information, the Operating Advisor agrees that it shall use information received from the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement solely for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, while the Operating Advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations that involve the same parties or borrower involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the Operating Advisor gained from performing operating advisor functions for such other securitizations shall not be imputed to the Operating Advisor in this securitization.

(i) 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 4.02(c).

(j) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Servicer Remittance Date. 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 outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Trust Loan, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the Trust Loan is computed. The Operating Advisor Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement.

(k) The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.03(a) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.06(a). Each successor operating advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

(l) In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Asset Status Report or Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations and has performed its duties with respect to such Asset Status Report and Major Decision. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the Borrower. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to an Asset Status Report or Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the Borrower in connection with such an Asset Status Report or Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce

-265-

the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the Borrower 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.

(m) Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates representing at least 15% of the Voting Rights allocable to Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such holders (provided that the proposed replacement Operating Advisor is a Qualified Operating Advisor), (ii) payment by such requesting holders to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the Trustee of a No Downgrade Confirmation, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 4.02, and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote, provided that the holders of Certificates representing at least 50% of the Voting Rights allocable to the Non-Reduced Certificates have exercised their right to vote, the Trustee shall promptly replace the Operating Advisor with the replacement Operating Advisor.

(n) After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders, and the Trustee may terminate, and upon the written direction of holders of Non-Reduced Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Regular Certificates), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is a Qualified 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 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. The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is a Qualified Operating Advisor. Upon (x) the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event or (y) any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall give written notice thereof as soon as possible to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) and the Certificateholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor operating advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor operating advisor so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct

-266-

a search for a successor operating advisor and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(o) The holders of Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights may waive an Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Trustee 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.

(p) The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder, if applicable, if the Operating Advisor has secured a replacement operating advisor that is a Qualified Operating Advisor and such replacement operating advisor has accepted its appointment as the replacement operating advisor. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. If no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is a Qualified Operating Advisor. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all reasonable 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 6.11(p).

(q) 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 6.11(k) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.

(r) The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their respective Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.03, 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 or any third party, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(s) Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates.

(t) The Operating Advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clauses (c), (d) and (f) of the definition of “Qualified Operating Advisor” and so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 6.11. 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 any such obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Operating Advisor alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(u) 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 Borrowers 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 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.

-269-

(vii) Moody’s has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates, or (B) placed one or more Classes of Certificates on “watch status” in contemplation of possible rating downgrade or withdrawal (and, in case of either clause (A) or (B) such qualification, downgrade or withdrawal or “watch status” placement shall not have been withdrawn by Moody’s within sixty (60) days), and, in the case of either of clause (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

(viii) (A) the Master Servicer has failed to maintain a ranking by Morningstar DBRS equal to or higher than “MOR CS3” as a master servicer and such ranking is not reinstated within 60 days of such event or (b) if the Master Servicer has not been ranked by Morningstar DBRS on or after the Closing Date, and Morningstar DBRS has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn the then-current rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates in this securitization or placed one or more Classes of Certificates in this securitization on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by Morningstar DBRS within 60 days of such event);

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (allocated based on Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts, as applicable, as notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocable to the Trust Loan), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer (other than the rights to indemnification provided in Section 6.03 of this Agreement and compensation provided in Section 3.12 of this Agreement).

-270-

In the event that the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01, then the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under this Section 7.01(a) solely due to a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii), (viii) or (ix) of this Agreement and if the Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then the Master Servicer shall continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(a). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Whole Loan under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and 7.02 of this Agreement (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that, at the Trustee’s request, the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Whole Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The materials provided to the Trustee shall provide for soliciting bids: (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all Sub-Servicers to continue the primary servicing of the Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service the Whole Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to the Servicing Fee Rate (or such lower fee rate as agreed to by such successor Master Servicer and such terminated Master Servicer) (a “Servicing Retained Bid”); and (ii) on the basis of the terminated Master Servicer not being retained as a Sub-Servicer (each, a “Servicing Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee does not receive a No Downgrade Confirmation within 10 days after the selection of such Successful Bidder, then the Trustee shall repeat the bid process described above (but subject to the above described 45 day time period) until such No Downgrade Confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the initial Master Servicer may request and obtain an additional 20 days for such sale and assumption to be completed so long as the initial Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the sale and assumption of the right to service the Whole Loan cannot be completed in the initial 45-day period and specifying the reasons therefor.

Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted (i) if the successful bid was a Servicing Retained Bid, to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a), the amount of such cash bid received

-271-

from the Successful Bidder (net of “out of pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing) and (ii) if the successful bid was a Servicing Released Bid, to the Master Servicer and each terminated Sub-Servicer its respective bid allocation.

The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) shall be responsible for all out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Whole Loan, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(a) of this Agreement shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(a). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, if the Master Servicer shall timely deliver the notice and request for proposal materials referred to in the fourth preceding paragraph, no resignation or termination of the Master Servicer shall be effective in connection with a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vii) of this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall continue to perform as such and to collect the Servicing Fee until the conclusion of the process described in this Section 7.01(a).

In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Master Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

(b) “Special Servicer Termination Event”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(i) any failure by the Special Servicer to deposit into the REO Account at or within the time specified by this Agreement and such failure continues unremedied for two (2) Business Days, or any failure by the Special Servicer to remit to Master Servicer for deposit into, the Collection Account any amount required to be so remitted by the Special Servicer pursuant to, and at the time specified by, the terms of this Agreement; provided that the failure of the Special Servicer to remit such amount to the Master Servicer shall not be a Special Servicer Termination Event if such failure is remedied within two (2) Business Days and if the Special Servicer has compensated the Master Servicer for any loss of income on such amount suffered by the Master Servicer due to and caused by the late remittance of the Special Servicer and reimbursed the Trust for any resulting Advance Interest Amount due to the Master Servicer;

(ii) any failure on the part of the Special Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (45 days in the case of failure

(iii) any breach on the part of the Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates or the Companion Loan Holder and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Special Servicer by any party hereto, or to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to that Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of such Class or by an affected Companion Loan Holder; provided that if such breach is capable of being cured and the Special Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, such 30-day period will be extended an additional 30 days;

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

(v) the Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Special Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

(vi) the Special Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;

-273-

of either clause (A) or (B) such qualification, downgrade or withdrawal or “watch status” placement shall not have been withdrawn by Moody’s within sixty (60) days), and, in the case of either of clause (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

(viii) (A) the Special Servicer has failed to maintain a ranking by Morningstar DBRS equal to or higher than “MOR CS3” as a special servicer and such ranking is not reinstated within 60 days of such event or (b) if the Special Servicer has not been ranked by Morningstar DBRS on or after the Closing Date, and Morningstar DBRS has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn the then-current rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates in this securitization or placed one or more Classes of Certificates in this securitization on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by Morningstar DBRS within 60 days of such event);

(ix) a Companion Loan Rating Agency has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities, or (B) placed one or more classes of Companion Loan Securities on “watch status” in contemplation of rating downgrade or withdrawal and, in the case of either of clauses (A) or (B), publicly citing servicing concerns with the Special Servicer, as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by such Companion Loan Rating Agency within 60 days of such event); or

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (allocated based on Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, as notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocable to the Trust Loan), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer (other than the rights to indemnification provided in Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement and compensation provided in Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement). During any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have the right to select the successor special servicer following any Special Servicer Termination Event.

In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer

-274-

of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b), (i) if any Master Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects a Companion Loan, the related Companion Loan Holders or the rating on a class of the related Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related Companion Loan Holders, but upon written direction of the related Companion Loan Holders, the Master Servicer shall appoint a sub-servicer that shall be responsible for servicing the Whole Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall be required to obtain a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency (including a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities) (at the expense of the requesting party) with respect to the appointment of such sub-servicer and (ii) if any Special Servicer Termination Event occurs that affects a Companion Loan, any holder thereof or the rating on a class of Companion Loan Securities, then the related affected Companion Loan Holders shall be able to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer.

(c) During any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer (subject to such terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination) at any time, with or without cause, and the Directing Holder shall have the right to, and shall, appoint a successor Special Servicer, which shall execute and deliver to the other parties hereto an agreement whereby the successor Special Servicer agrees to assume and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall have been provided a No Downgrade Confirmation from each Rating Agency prior to the termination of the Special Servicer; provided, further, that any successor Special Servicer shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this paragraph until a successor special servicer shall have been appointed. The Directing Holder shall pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer without cause pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 7.01(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no successor special servicer appointed by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.04, Section 7.01(b) or this Section 7.01(c) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement will be required to meet any net worth requirements. The Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator a written notice, together with each No Downgrade Confirmation, stating that the Directing Holder has appointed a successor Special Servicer.

(d) After the termination of a Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer may be terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.22(b) hereof.

(e) 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

-275-

replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, the Operating Advisor may deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation, substantially in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto, setting forth the reasons supporting its position (along with any information the Operating Advisor considered relevant to its recommendation) and recommending a replacement Special Servicer (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 recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) to assume the duties of such Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 4.02, and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of holders of Principal Balance Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance of all Principal Balance Certificates whose holders voted on the matter, provided that the Principal Balance Certificates holders that so voted on the matter (x) hold Principal Balance Certificates representing at least 20% of the outstanding Certificate Balance of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) within one hundred eighty (180) days of posting of the Operating Advisor’s recommendation to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (y) include at least three (3) Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners that are not Credit Risk Retention Affiliated with each other and (ii) delivery of written notice to the Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator 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 shall (A) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor Special Servicer recommended by the Operating Advisor, subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination and (B) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with providing such written notices to the Rating Agency 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 described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, 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. The Certificateholders that initiated the vote to replace the Special Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.

In the event the Special Servicer is terminated as a result of the recommendation of the Operating Advisor described in this Section 7.01(e), the Directing Holder may not

-276-

subsequently reappoint as Special Servicer such terminated Special Servicer or any Credit Risk Retention Affiliate of such terminated Special Servicer

(f) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Whole Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination), and with respect to the Special Servicer, the right to receive any Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee subsequent to its termination as Special Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement. No successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to such Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee received by the terminated Special Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder), the Whole Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section (absent the appointment of a successor, and such successor’s assumption of obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, by the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period) and, without limitation, the Terminating Party is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Whole Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agree in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01 to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, any REO Account, Lock-Box Account or Cash Collateral Account or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Whole Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee) all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electronic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party (including the cost of obtaining a No Downgrade Confirmation and any applicable indemnification that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be required to provide under this Agreement) or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer incurred in connection with transferring

-277-

the Mortgage Files to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b), as applicable, shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the Terminated Party has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the Terminating Party shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust Fund. Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its affiliates may be appointed as a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer.

Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement, the Terminating Party (subject to (a)) shall be its successor, until such successor is appointed in accordance with this Section, in all respects in its capacity as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, provided, however, that (i) the Terminating Party shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or monies shall not be considered a termination event for such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase the Trust Loan or the Companion Loans hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Compensation or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Trust Loan or Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Back-Up Advancing Agent shall at any time be outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Back-Up Advancing Agent (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have

-278-

been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall (i) if it is unable to so act, (ii) if the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders or an affected Companion Loan Holder so requests in writing to the Trustee or (iii) if the Trustee or the Back-Up Advancing Agent is not an “approved” servicer by any of the Rating Agencies for mortgage loans similar to the one held in the Trust, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution that to act as the successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall obtain a No Downgrade Confirmation with respect to the Certificates and any Companion Loan Securities. No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall act in such capacity. Any appointment or succession by the Trustee to the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder shall be subject to the Directing Holder’s right to replace the Special Servicer during any Subordinate Control Period. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Whole Loan or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party hereunder, provided, further, that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Master Servicer’s Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders and Other Persons. (a) Upon its receipt of written notice of any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).

(b) Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual

-279-

knowledge, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (who shall then notify all Holders of Certificates) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) and the Companion Loan Holder notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event unless such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.04 Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as the Servicer Termination Event, shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name as Trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement (and such amounts shall be allocated in accordance with the expense allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Master Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, if applicable.

Section 7.05 Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events; Termination. The Certificateholders evidencing not less than 66-⅔% of the aggregate Voting Rights may, together with each affected Companion Loan Holder, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except (i) a termination event with respect to making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, and (ii) the Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) and Section 7.01(b)(x), which may only be waived by the Depositor (and the Other Depositor under an Other Securitization Trust) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past termination event, such termination event shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other termination event or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.06 Back-Up Advancing Agent 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 Back-Up Advancing Agent shall perform such obligations (x) within five Business Days of the Master Servicer Termination Event resulting from such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Property Advances to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Back-Up Advancing Agent has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Property Advances and (y) by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I

-280-

Advances and Administrative Advances pursuant to the Back-Up Advancing Agent’s receipt of notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.07(a) or Section 4.07(c) of this Agreement unless the Back-Up Advancing Agent has received notice that such failure has been cured by 11:00 a.m. on such Distribution Date. With respect to any such Advance made by the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Back-Up Advancing Agent 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 Advance Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Back-Up Advancing Agent 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 Back-Up Advancing Agent, 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 Back-Up Advancing Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance or any determination of recoverability in connection therewith by the Master Servicer hereunder.

(vi) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be charged with knowledge of any act, failure to act or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to act, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure.

None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require either the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, to expend or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if in the opinion of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, except, in the case of the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to post any surety or bond of any kind in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Agreement and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel and the written 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 with the written advice of such counsel or such Opinion of Counsel;

The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, if a Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, respectively, and otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Computershare Trust Company, National Association acting in any particular capacity hereunder will not be deemed to

-285-

be imputed with knowledge of (a) Computershare Trust Company, National Association, acting in a capacity that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) Computershare Trust Company, National Association, acting in any other capacity hereunder, except, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), where some or all of the obligations performed in such capacities are performed by one or more employees within the same group or division of Computershare Trust Company, National Association, or where the groups or divisions responsible for performing the obligations in such capacities have one or more of the same Responsible Officers; provided, however, the knowledge of employees performing special custodial functions shall not be imputed to employees performing Trustee functions.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer make no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of the Certificates or any offering document used to offer the Certificates for sale or the validity, enforceability or sufficiency of the Trust Loan, or related document. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of the related Mortgage, the Trust Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the existence, condition and ownership of the Mortgaged Property; (ii) the existence of any hazard or other insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) or the enforceability thereof; (iii) the existence of the Trust Loan or the contents of the Mortgage File on any computer or other record thereof (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant Section 7.02 of this Agreement); (iv) the validity of the assignment of the Trust Loan to the Trust Fund or of any intervening assignment; (v) the completeness of the Mortgage File; the performance or enforcement of the Trust Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement); (vi) the compliance by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s receipt of written notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; (vii) any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, the acts or omissions of any of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) or any Sub-Servicer or the Borrower; any action of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) or any Sub-Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee, except to the extent such action is taken at the express written direction of the Trustee; (viii) the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to act or perform any duties required of them on behalf of the Trust Fund or the Trustee hereunder; or (ix) any action by or omission of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator taken at the instruction of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) unless the taking of such action is not permitted by the express terms of this

-287-

Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of their respective obligations to perform their duties as specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (in the case of the Trustee only), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator only), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (in the case of the Trustee only), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator only), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in respect of the assignment of the Trust Loan or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Lock-Box Account, the Cash Collateral Account, the Reserve Accounts, any REO Account or any other account maintained by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, other than any funds held by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Master Servicer) or to record this Agreement. In making any calculation hereunder which includes as a component thereof the payment or distribution of interest for a stated period at a stated rate “to the extent permitted by applicable law”, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall assume that such payment is so permitted unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has actual knowledge, or receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person asserting the impermissibility) to the effect, that such payment is not permitted by applicable law. The Depositor is not obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 8.04 Trustee and Certificate Administrator May Own Certificates. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and any agent of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates, and may deal with the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Initial Purchaser in banking transactions, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Certificate Administrator or such agent, as the case may be.

Section 8.05 Payment of Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) On each Distribution Date, prior to the distribution of amounts to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw and pay the Trustee and itself its respective portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, as applicable, as reasonable compensation from amounts remitted to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator at the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee Rate.

(b) In the event that the Trustee assumes the servicing responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder pursuant to or otherwise arising from the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled

Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act (at the expense of the Trust) as co-Trustee or co-Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate Trustee or separate Trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.

No Trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; provided that except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder. The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee, or if the separate Trustee or co-Trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or co-Trustee.

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. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. 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.

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.

In the event that the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R or Class LR Certificates purchases the Trust Loan and all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with this Section 9.01(c), the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R and Class LR Certificates, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account not later than the Servicer Remittance Date relating to the Anticipated Final Termination Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a) of this Agreement, which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on the Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account, together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. The Certificate Administrator shall deposit all amounts deposited into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account into the Upper-Tier Distribution Account for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01(a) and (b) of this Agreement. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and upon direction from the Master Servicer, the Custodian shall, release or cause to be released to the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holder of a majority Percentage Interest in the Class R or Class LR Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage File for the Trust Loan and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by such purchasing party as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Trust Loan and all property acquired in respect of the Trust Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article IX.

-299-

As a condition to the purchase of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c), the purchaser shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, which shall be at the expense of such purchaser, stating that such termination will be a “qualified liquidation” under Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of the Code. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to this Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Trust Loan and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).

Any such party effecting an early termination as described in this Section 9.01(c) may be an affiliate of the Trust Loan Seller.

(d) If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine as soon as practicable the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Administrator reasonably anticipates, based on information with respect to the Trust Loan previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding Principal Balance Certificates, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full the Certificate Balance of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement and (ii) if no such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates are then outstanding, the final distribution shall be made (i) to the Holders of the Class LR Certificates of any amount remaining in the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, and (ii) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates of any amount remaining in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account.

(e) Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders with a copy to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Loan Seller, the Companion Loan Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement) at their addresses shown in the Certificate Registrar not more than 30 days, and not less than ten (10) days, prior to the Anticipated Final Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders shall:

(i) specify the Anticipated Final Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes specified therein;

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

(iii) state that the final distribution to Certificateholders will be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.

If the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Final Termination Date for any reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.

-300-

(f) Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 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 Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two (2) years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor certificate administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts, subject to applicable law, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

(g) The Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Regular Certificates, for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided that such Sole Certificateholder compensates the Certificate Administrator for the amount of investment income the Certificate Administrator would have earned if the outstanding Certificate Balance of the then outstanding Principal Balance Certificates were on deposit with the Certificate Administrator as of the first day of the current calendar month and such Sole Certificateholder pays to the Master Servicer as additional compensation an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding Principal Balance Certificates as of the day of the exchange and (C) three, divided by (ii) 360. In the event that the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates for the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Business Day prior to 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 Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Accounts pursuant to Section 3.06(f) and Section 3.06(g) of this Agreement, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on or prior to the Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement. Upon

-301-

confirmation from the Certificate Administrator that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates) on the final Distribution Date to the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage File for the Trust Loan or shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article IX. The Trust Loan or REO Property, as applicable, is deemed distributed to the Sole Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Article IX. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to (a) if the Trust Loan is a Performing Loan, the remaining Certificate Balance of its Certificates (other than the Class R and Class LR Certificates), plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, or (b) if the Trust Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or has been converted to REO Property, the fair market value thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment, the requesting party shall forward to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement).

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.08 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The method of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe; provided, however, that such method shall always be by affirmation and in writing.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund) confirming that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent with respect thereto have been satisfied, respectively, hereunder and such amendment will not cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the EC Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, either Trust REMIC or the EC Trust.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer may request and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 10.08 (which do not modify or otherwise relate solely to the obligations, duties or rights of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator), then at the expense of the Trust Fund) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent with respect thereto have been satisfied. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Operating Advisor’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement (i) that adversely affects the rights, including (without limitation) as a third-party beneficiary hereunder, and/or obligations of the Trust Loan Seller

-312-

(including, without limitation, under the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement) or the Initial Purchaser without the consent of the Trust Loan Seller or the Initial Purchaser, as applicable or (ii) that adversely affects the rights, including (without limitation) as a third-party beneficiary hereunder, and/or obligations of the Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Companion Loan Holder.

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 which shall post a copy of the same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement, and thereafter, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holder, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, and the Initial Purchaser.

Section 10.09 Confirmation of Intent. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Loan) by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Agreement and the sale by the Depositor of the Certificates be, and be treated for all purposes as, a sale by the Depositor of the undivided portion of the beneficial interest in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to continue to be property of the Depositor then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under applicable law; (b) the transfer of the Trust Fund provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders of a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund and all amounts payable to the holders of the Trust Loan in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account and any REO Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) of Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Depositor shall, and upon the request and direction of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement (and at the expense of the Trust Fund), take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Loan, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. It is the intent of the parties that such a security interest would be effective whether any of the Certificates are sold, pledged or assigned.

(d) In the event the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such party shall provide, and each such party shall cause (or, if the Servicing Function Participant is a Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit AA, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to provide (and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall, with respect to any Servicing Function Participant that resigns or is terminated under any applicable servicing agreement, cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide) an annual assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 11.08, coupled with an attestation as required in Section 11.09 in respect of the period of time that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian was subject to this Agreement or the period of time that the Servicing Function Participant was subject to such other servicing agreement.

Section 11.09 Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. On or before March 1 of each year, commencing in 2025, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian, each at its own expense, shall cause (and each such party, (i) with respect to each Servicing Function Participant that is a Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit AA with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Whole Loan, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicing Function Participant to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other Servicing Function Participant of such party (other than any party to this Agreement), shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to cause) a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian or the applicable

-321-

Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Certificate Administrator (who shall post it to the Certificate Administrator’s Website), to the Operating Advisor (with respect to the Special Servicer only), the Depositor, the Companion Loan Holder (or, in the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the applicable Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from the management of such Reporting Servicer, which includes an assessment from such Reporting Servicer of its compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, it is expressing an opinion as to whether such Reporting Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Each accountant’s attestation report required hereunder shall be made in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Act and the Exchange Act. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language. Copies of all statements delivered pursuant to this Section 11.09 shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such statement on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to deliver an annual independent public accountants’ servicing report with respect to any period during which there was no Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it.

For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, promptly after receipt of such report from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant, the Depositor and each Other Depositor may review the report and, if applicable, consult with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator as to the nature of any defaults by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Trust Loan or a Companion Loan, as the case may be, in the fulfillment of any of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Back-Up Advancing Agent’s, the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the applicable Servicing Function Participants’ obligations hereunder or under the applicable sub-servicing agreement.

Section 11.10 Significant Obligor. With respect to a Companion Loan that an applicable Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer in writing that the Mortgaged Property is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) with respect to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan and of the distribution date in such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, solely to the extent the Master Servicer is in receipt of the updated financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar quarter (other than the fourth calendar quarter of any calendar year) (beginning with the first calendar quarter following receipt of such notice from the Other Depositor) or the updated

-322-

financial statements of such “significant obligor” for any calendar year (beginning with the first calendar year following receipt of such notice from the Other Depositor), as applicable, from the Borrower or the Special Servicer, as applicable, deliver to the Other Certificate Administrator on or prior to the day that occurs two Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or seven Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, (A) if such financial statement receipt occurs 12 or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or 17 or more Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income of such significant obligor for the applicable period as calculated by the Master Servicer in accordance with the CREFC^® guidelines and (B) if such financial statement receipt occurs less than 12 Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Quarterly Filing Deadline or less than 17 Business Days prior to the related Significant Obligor NOI Yearly Filing Deadline, as applicable, such financial statements of such “significant obligor”, together with the net operating income for the applicable period as reported by the Borrower in such financial statements.

If the Master Servicer does not receive financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, of such “significant obligor” within ten Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization Trust that includes such related Companion Loan (and shall cause each applicable sub-servicing agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received them. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements of the Borrower under the Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause each applicable sub-servicing agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the Borrower to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed with respect to the Other Securitization Trust, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization Trust. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 11.11 Sarbanes-Oxley Backup Certification. For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide (and with respect to any other Servicing Function Participant of such party, shall cause such Servicing Function Participant to provide) to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (the “Certifying Person”) no later than March 15 of the year following the year to which the Form 10-K of such Other Securitization Trust relates or, if March 15 is not a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day, a certification in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit BB, on which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such

-323-

entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. In the event any Reporting Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be, such Reporting Servicer shall provide a certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 11.11 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to deliver such certification with respect to any period during which there was no Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable to it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.11 shall require any Reporting Servicer (i) to certify or verify the accurateness or completeness of any information provided to such Reporting Servicer by third parties (other than a Sub-Servicer, Additional Servicer or any other third party retained by it that is not a Sub-Servicer listed on Exhibit AA or a Sub-Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 3.01(c)), (ii) to certify information other than to such Reporting Servicer’s knowledge and in accordance with such Reporting Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or (iii) with respect to completeness of information and reports, to certify anything other than that all fields of information called for in written reports prepared by such Reporting Servicer have been completed except as they have been left blank on their face.

Section 11.12 Indemnification. For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian (if the Custodian is a separate entity from the Certificate Administrator), the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent and the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party, the Depositor (and any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan), their respective directors and officers, and each other person who controls any such entity within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of (i) the failure to perform its obligations to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan) under this Article XI by the time required after giving effect to any applicable grace period or cure period, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information (x) regarding such party or any Servicing Function Participant, Additional Servicer or subcontractor engaged by it, (y) prepared by any such party described in clause (x) or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information and (z) delivered by or on behalf of such party in connection with the performance of such party’s obligations described in this Article XI, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such information a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the applicable party shall be entitled to participate in any action arising out of the foregoing and the Depositor shall consult with such party with respect to any litigation or audit strategy, as applicable, in connection with the foregoing and any potential settlement terms related thereto, (iii) the failure of any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it to perform its obligations to the Depositor (or any Other Depositor related to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan) or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee related to an Other Securitization Trust that

-324-

includes such Companion Loan) under this Article XI by the time required after giving effect to any applicable grace period and cure period or (iv) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

In addition, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall cooperate (and require each Servicing Function Participant and Additional Servicer retained by it to cooperate under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement) with the Depositor or the Other Depositor as necessary for the Depositor or the Other Depositor to conduct any reasonable due diligence necessary to evaluate and assess any material instances of non-compliance disclosed in any of the deliverables required by the applicable reporting requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Reporting Requirements”).

In connection with comments provided to the Depositor or any Other Depositor from the Commission regarding information (x) delivered by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, as applicable (“Affected Reporting Party”), (y) regarding such Affected Reporting Party, and (z) prepared by such Affected Reporting Party or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information, which information is contained in a report filed by the Depositor or Other Depositor under the Reporting Requirements and which comments are received subsequent to the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s filing of such report, the Depositor or Other Depositor shall promptly provide to such Affected Reporting Party any such comments which relate to such Affected Reporting Party. Such Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission for inclusion in the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s response to the Commission, unless such Affected Reporting Party elects, with the consent of the Depositor or Other Depositor, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission; provided, if an Affected Reporting Party is a Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall receive copies of all material communications pursuant to this paragraph. If such election is made, the applicable Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for directly negotiating such response and/or resolution with the Commission in a timely manner; provided, that (i) such Affected Reporting Party shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Depositor or Other Depositor informed of its progress with the Commission and copy the Depositor or Other Depositor on all correspondence with the Commission and provide the Depositor or Other Depositor with the opportunity to participate (at the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s expense) in any telephone conferences and meetings with the Commission and (ii) the Depositor or Other Depositor shall cooperate with any Affected Reporting Party in order to authorize such Affected Reporting Party and its representatives to respond to and negotiate directly with the Commission with respect to any comments from the Commission relating to such Affected Reporting Party and to notify the Commission of such authorization. The Depositor (or Other Depositor) and the Affected Reporting Party shall cooperate and coordinate with one another with respect to any requests made to the Commission for extension of time for submitting a response or compliance. All respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or Other Depositor (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor or Other Depositor, as the case may be) in connection with the foregoing (other than those costs and

-325-

expenses required to be at the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s expense as set forth above) and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission therewith shall be promptly paid by the applicable Affected Reporting Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor or Other Depositor, as the case may be. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it to comply with the foregoing by inclusion of similar provisions in the related sub-servicing or similar agreement.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee and the Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Trust Loan to indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of (i) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable or (ii) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Custodian, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship (other than a party to this Agreement) with respect to the Trust Loan to contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XI. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Trust Loan to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, after the indemnifying party has been notified of the commencement of such action, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory

-326-

to such indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties and, in the case of an investigation by the Commission, any parties that are, or whose reporting materials are, the subject of such investigation) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party fails within a reasonable period of time to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. However, if settled with such consent, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

Section 11.13 Amendments. This Article XI may be amended by the parties hereto pursuant to Section 11.08 of this Agreement for purposes of complying with Regulation AB, the Act or the Exchange Act and/or to conform to standards developed within the commercial mortgage-backed securities market and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act without any Opinions of Counsel, Officer’s Certificates, No Downgrade Confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement.

Section 11.14 Termination of the Certificate Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor or any Other Depositor may terminate the Certificate Administrator upon five Business Days’ notice if the Certificate Administrator fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Article XI; provided that such termination shall not be effective until a successor Certificate Administrator shall have accepted the appointment.

Section 11.15 Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements. For so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee and

-327-

the Custodian, as applicable, shall (i) cause each Sub-Servicing Agreement to which it is a party to entitle the Depositor or any Other Depositor to terminate such agreement (without compensation, termination fee or the consent of any other Person) at any time following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer to any deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article XI and (ii) promptly notify the Depositor and any Other Depositor following any failure of the applicable Sub-Servicer to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by this Article XI. The Depositor and any Other Depositor is hereby authorized to exercise the rights described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence in its sole discretion. The rights of the Depositor and any Other Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement as aforesaid shall not limit any right the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

Section 11.16 Notification Requirements and Deliveries in Connection with Securitization of a Companion Loan. (a) Any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, any deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article XI, in connection with the requirements contained in this Article XI that provide for the delivery of information and other items to, and the cooperation with, the Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of any Other Securitization Trust that includes a Companion Loan, no party hereunder shall be obligated to provide any such items to or cooperate with such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party (i) until the Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust has provided each party hereto with not less than 30 days written notice (which shall only be required to be delivered once and each party shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such notice until a Responsible Officer thereof has received a subsequent notice), setting forth the contact information for such Person(s) and, except as regards the deliveries and cooperation contemplated by Section 11.07, Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 of this Agreement, stating that such Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the information and other items not otherwise specified in this Agreement that are requested to be delivered; provided that if Exchange Act reporting is being requested, such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party is only required to provide a single written notice to such effect. Any reasonable cost and expense of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, Certificate Administrator and Custodian in cooperating with such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust (above and beyond their expressed duties hereunder) shall be the responsibility of such Other Depositor or Other Securitization Trust. The parties hereto shall have the right to confirm in good faith with the Other Depositor of such Other Securitization Trust as to whether applicable law requires the delivery of the items identified in this Article XI to such Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust prior to providing any of the reports or other information required to be delivered under this Article XI in connection therewith and (i) upon such confirmation, the parties shall comply with the deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article XI with respect to such Other Securitization Trust or (ii) in the absence of such confirmation, the parties shall not be required to deliver such items; provided that no such confirmation shall be required in connection with any delivery of the items contemplated by Section 11.07, Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 of this Agreement. Such confirmation shall be deemed given if the Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party for the Other Securitization Trust provides a written statement to the effect

-328-

that the Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the appropriate party hereto receives such written statement. The parties hereunder shall also have the right to require that such Other Depositor provide them with the contact details of such Other Depositor, Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and any other parties to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to such Other Securitization Trust.

(b) Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee and the Custodian shall, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.16(a) above, and subject to a right of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, Trustee or Custodian, as the case may be, to review and approve such disclosure materials, permit the Companion Loan Holder to use such party’s description contained in the Offering Circular (updated as appropriate by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, Trustee or Custodian, as applicable, at the reasonable cost of the Other Depositor) for inclusion in the disclosure materials relating to any securitization of a Companion Loan.

(c) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Trustee and the Custodian, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.16(a) above, shall each timely provide (to the extent the reasonable cost thereof is paid or caused to be paid by the requesting party) to the Other Depositor and any underwriters with respect to any securitization transaction that includes a Companion Loan such opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and/or indemnification agreement(s) with respect to the updated description referred in Section 11.16(b) with respect to such party, substantially identical to those, if any, delivered by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may be, or their respective counsel, in connection with the information concerning such party in the Offering Circular and/or any other disclosure materials relating to this Trust (updated as deemed appropriate by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, or their respective legal counsel, as the case may be, and sufficient to comply with Regulation AB). None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Back-Up Advancing Agent, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall be obligated to deliver any such item with respect to the securitization of a Companion Loan if it did not deliver a corresponding item with respect to this Trust.
