Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee for the related Non-Serviced Trust), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

The Trust Administrator makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trust Administrator shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Servicers of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer or the Servicers. The Trust Administrator shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued or intended to be issued hereunder. The Trust Administrator shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection for any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement.
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans To the extent and for so long as the Class B Certificates of a Series are outstanding and the Class B Holder owns at least 75% of the most subordinate outstanding class of the Class B Certificates of such Series (calculated by dividing the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B Certificates by the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of all certificates of the same class), Delinquent Mortgage Loans of the related Series may, at the option of the Class B Holder, be designated in writing by the Class B Holder as Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and transferred to the Special Servicer for servicing. The Special Servicer shall service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the Servicer Guide]. Following the designation of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Loan, the Company shall transfer servicing of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer substantially in the manner set forth herein and in Schedule II hereto. [The parties hereto agree that any fees resulting from the transfer of the servicing of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan from the Company or a subservicer to the Special Servicer (or any successor thereto) shall be the obligation of the Company.] As of the Effective Date (as defined below) of each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall succeed to and undertake all rights, duties and obligations of the prior servicer (including, without limitation, the making of advances, any right to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at the purchase price set forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the right to receive the servicing fee with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the terms and conditions of the Servicer Guide]. With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the effective date (the "Effective Date") shall be the first day of the month immediately following the month of designation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as such, provided that such written designation is received by the Company on or prior to the 15th calendar day of such month. Once a Delinquent Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Delinquent Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special Servicer, until the earlier of the liquidation or other disposition of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the termination of this Agreement, regardless of delinquency status, whether the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Company exercises its right as Master Servicer to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in a Trust Fund pursuant to an optional termination provision under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the servicing of any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which foreclosure proceedings have not been commenced shall be transferred promptly by the Special Servicer in accordance with written instructions from the Company. If the Class B Holder (i) transfers such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, or (ii) purchases such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns 75% or more of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, the Class B Holder shall promptly notify the Company and the Special Servicer in writing of any such transfer or acquisition. Upon receipt of written notice from the Class B Holder, the Company or the Class B Holder shall revise Schedule I hereto to reflect any such transfer or acquisition and shall forward promptly a copy of such revised schedule to the Company or the Class B Holder, as applicable, and the Special Servicer. With respect to the purchase of at least 75% of the Class B Certificates of any Series by the Class B Holder after the date hereof, this Agreement shall be effective as of the date such written notice of acquisition is received by the Company. If and to the extent the Company is permitted to purchase Delinquent Mortgage Loans under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B Holder may direct the Company to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and to promptly resell such Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder at the price and on the terms set forth in such Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event the Class B Holder directs the Company to purchase a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as permitted under this Section, the Company shall promptly take all action necessary under the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to accomplish such purchase (i.e. provide notification to the Trustee and/or Custodian) and to resell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder. The Class B Holder, and not the Company, shall be required to remit the purchase price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the related Trustee. The Company will inform the Trustee in writing of the purchase of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Class B Holder and further shall promptly take all actions necessary or desirable to effect the conveyance of such Mortgage Loan and the related servicing rights to the Class B Holder or its designee, time being of the essence. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall (i) in no event be obligated to effect any cure or remedy in connection with a deficiency in the documentation for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the extent such deficiency existed at the time such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) have any responsibility for any obligations, duties, or liabilities of the Company with respect to the servicing of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that arose prior to the related Effective Date for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, other than those which would customarily be assumed after the Effective Date.

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