• Administration of the Mortgage Loans (a) All of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties are to be serviced and administered by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer hereunder. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Non-Trust Mortgage Loan Noteholder(s)), as determined in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with: (i) any and all applicable laws; (ii) the express terms of this Agreement; (iii) the express terms of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and any and all related intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreements (including with respect to performing the duties of the holders of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans thereunder (to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard)); and (iv) to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable in accordance with this Agreement, shall service and administer each Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Serviced Mortgage Loan as and when necessary and appropriate consistent with the Servicing Standard. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 3.21, (i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all of the Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans and shall render such services with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as are specifically provided for herein, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and Administered REO Property and shall render such services with respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans as are specifically provided for herein. All references herein to the respective duties of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and to the areas in which they may exercise discretion, shall be subject to Section 3.21.

• Administration of the Mortgage Loan (a) Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so). Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan 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. Absent an offer at least equal to the Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer from an Interested Person received represents a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) conducted in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained within the prior nine (9) months pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any Appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the related Non-Lead Securitization Note is held by a Borrower Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder that are material to the sale price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Note Holder Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, however, that such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Controlling Note Holders and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representatives shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is a Borrower Party). 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 offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the related Non-Lead Securitization Note. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the original related Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale. The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Notes upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the Initial Note Holder from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Initial Note Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by the related Initial Note Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by such Initial Note Holder or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Initial Note Holder under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Initial Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization.

• ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS Section 3.01 The Master Servicer to act as Master Servicer.

• Administration of the Collection Account Funds on deposit in the Collection Account that are not both deposited and to be withdrawn on the same date shall be invested in Permitted Investments. Any such investment shall mature and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Series Transfer Date related to the Monthly Period in which such funds were received or deposited, or if so specified in the related Series Supplement, immediately preceding a Payment Date. Wilmington Trust, National Association is hereby appointed as the initial securities intermediary hereunder (the “Securities Intermediary”) and accepts such appointment. The Securities Intermediary represents, warrants, and covenants, and the parties hereto agree, that at all times prior to the termination of this Indenture: (i) the Securities Intermediary shall be a bank that in the ordinary course of its business maintains securities accounts for others and is acting in that capacity hereunder; (ii) the Collection Account shall be an account maintained with the Securities Intermediary to which financial assets may be credited and the Securities Intermediary shall treat the Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise such financial assets; (iii) each item of property credited to the Collection Account shall be treated as a financial asset; (iv) the Securities Intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Trustee without further consent by the Issuer or any other Person; (v) the Securities Intermediary waives any Lien on any property credited to the Collection Account, and (vi) the Securities Intermediary agrees that its jurisdiction for purposes of Section 8-110 and Section 9-305(a)(3) of the UCC shall be New York. The Securities Intermediary shall maintain for the benefit of the Secured Parties, possession or control of each other Permitted Investment (including any negotiable instruments, if any, evidencing such Permitted Investments) not credited to or deposited in a Trust Account (other than such as are described in clause (b) of the definition thereof); provided that no Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity date if such disposition would result in a loss. Nothing herein shall impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties or obligations other than those expressly set forth herein and those applicable to a securities intermediary under the UCC. The Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to all of the protections available to a securities intermediary under the UCC. At the end of each month, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be treated as Investment Earnings. If at the end of a month losses and investment expenses on funds on deposit in the Collection Account exceed interest and earnings on such funds during such month, losses and expenses to the extent of such excess will be allocated, with respect to any Series, among the Noteholders of such Series and the Issuer as provided in the related Series Supplement. Subject to the restrictions set forth above, the Issuer, or a Person designated in writing by the Issuer, of which the Trustee shall have received written notification thereof, shall have the authority to instruct the Trustee with respect to the investment of funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

• Custodial Accounts The Master Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained by each Servicer under the Master Servicer's supervision the Custodial Account for P&I, Buydown Fund Accounts (if any) and special Custodial Account for Reserves and shall deposit or cause to be deposited therein daily the amounts related to the Mortgage Loans required by the Selling and Servicing Contracts to be so deposited. Proceeds received with respect to individual Mortgage Loans from any title, hazard, or FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, Primary Insurance Policy or other insurance policy (other than any Special Primary Insurance Policy) covering such Mortgage Loans shall be deposited first in the Custodial Account for Reserves if required for the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property. Otherwise, Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds from any Special Primary Insurance Policy) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I, and shall be applied to the balances of the related Mortgage Loans as payments of interest and principal. The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and to issue drafts against the Custodial Accounts for P&I and the Custodial Accounts for Reserves for the purposes required or permitted by this Agreement. Each Custodial Account for P&I and each Custodial Account for Reserves shall bear a designation clearly showing the respective interests of the applicable Servicer, as trustee, and of the Master Servicer, in substantially one of the following forms:

• Subservicing Accounts In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Subservicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Subservicing Account"). The Subservicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the Servicer. The Subservicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Subservicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments.

• Custodial Account Funds in any custodial accounts established by the Servicer and maintained in respect of the REMIC may be invested and, if invested, shall be invested in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Remittance Date, and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the REMIC or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be, as long as the Servicer is servicing the Mortgage Loans held by the REMIC, for the benefit of the Servicer as additional compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the relevant account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized. The foregoing requirements for deposit in such account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in such account and, as long as the Servicer is servicing the Mortgage Loans held by the REMIC, payments in the nature of prepayment fees, late payment charges, assumption fees or any similar fees customarily associated with the servicing mortgage loans paid by any mortgagor need not be deposited by the Servicer in such account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Servicer deposits in such account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

• Sub-Servicing Accounts In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the related Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more accounts (each such account or accounts, a “Sub-Servicing Account”). Each Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. Each Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after such Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans received by such Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. Each Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the related Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the related Mortgage Loans when the related Sub-Servicer receives such payments.

• Servicing Accounts (a) The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”) in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, with records to be kept with respect thereto on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, into which accounts shall be deposited within 48 hours (or as of such other time specified in the related Servicing Agreement) of receipt all collections of principal and interest on any Mortgage Loan and with respect to any REO Property received by a Servicer, including Principal Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Recoveries and advances made from the Servicer’s own funds (less, in the case of each Servicer, the applicable servicing compensation, in whatever form and amounts as permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement) and all other amounts to be deposited in each such Servicing Account. The Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and deposits to the related Servicing Account for purposes required or permitted by this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, Servicing Accounts shall also include such other accounts as the Servicer maintains for the escrow of certain payments, such as taxes and insurance, with respect to certain Mortgaged Properties. Each Servicing Agreement sets forth the criteria for the segregation, maintenance and investment of each related Servicing Account, the contents of which are acceptable to the parties hereto as of the date hereof and changes to which shall not be made unless such changes are made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01 hereof.
