Excluded Special Servicer Loan), any Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the Special Servicer shall in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, or other obligor on the related Mortgage Note or any affiliates thereof (each a \u201cBorrower-Related Party\u201d) against the

to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (\u201cLoan-Related Litigation\u201d). In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Loan-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Loan-Related Litigation (and regardless of whether the Trust is named in such Loan-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Loan-Related Litigation. The Operating Advisor shall not be required to review the actions of the Special Servicer with respect to Loan-Related Litigation unless such review is otherwise related to the performance of the Operating Advisor\u2019s duties, rights and obligations in respect of a Final Asset Status Report and/or Asset Status Report.\n(b) With respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan and to the extent the Master Servicer is named in Loan-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding subsection, the Master Servicer shall (i) provide quarterly (unless requested in writing from time to time on a more frequent basis) status reports to the Special Servicer, regarding such Loan-Related Litigation; provided, however, nothing in this requirement to deliver a status report shall require or obligate the Master Servicer to provide privileged or confidential information; (ii) use reasonable efforts to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as the Master Servicer remains a party to such lawsuit, consult with, and take direction from, the Special Servicer with respect to material decisions and material monetary settlements related to the interests of the Trust in such Loan-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel. If and/or when the Trust and/or the Special Servicer are named, the Special Servicer shall assume control of the Loan-Related Litigation as provided in Section 3.30(a) above; the Master Servicer shall no longer have the reporting obligations set forth above and the Special Servicer\u2019s selection of counsel shall be subject to the consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further, the Master Servicer shall have the right to engage separate counsel relating to claims against the Master Servicer to the extent set forth in Section 3.30(e) if there are claims against the Master Servicer.\n(c) The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Loan-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Loan-Related Litigation unless and until it has notified in writing the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and to the extent the identity of the Directing Certificateholder is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder), and the related holder of any Companion Loan (if such matter affects such related Serviced Companion Loan and to the extent the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer), and the Directing Certificateholder (only if the related Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan as to such party and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Directing Certificateholder has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such 5 Business Day period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided that, if the Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder\u2019s response.\n(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.30, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder, the Risk Retention Consultation Party, the Operating Advisor or any other party to this Agreement that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, result in the imposition of a \u201cprohibited transaction\u201d or \u201cprohibited contribution\u201d tax under the REMIC Provisions, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer\u2019s, the Master Servicer\u2019s, the Certificate Administrator\u2019s or the Trustee\u2019s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.\n(e) Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer provided in this Section 3.30 to represent the interests of the Trust in Loan-Related Litigation, and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer\u2019s actions in this Section 3.30, the Master Servicer shall retain the right to make determinations relating to claims against the Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel, to make settlement decisions and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf. The cost related to or incurred in connection with exercising such rights shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.\n(f) Further, nothing in this Section shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other party to this Agreement to take or fail to take any action which, in such party\u2019s reasonable judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, may (i) cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, result in the imposition of \u201cprohibited transaction\u201d or \u201cprohibited contribution\u201d tax under the Code, or otherwise result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions, (ii) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, (iii) result in a violation of applicable law or the Mortgage Loan documents or (iv) subject the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or other such party to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer\u2019s, the Special Servicer or such party\u2019s obligations under this Agreement.\n(g) In the event where the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is named party neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall settle on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, any Loan-Related Litigation without such party\u2019s consent unless: (A) such settlement does not contain or require any admission of liability, wrongdoing or consent to injunctive relief on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer are each fully released, (B) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (C) each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses incurred in defending and settling the Loan-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (D) any such action taken by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the direction of the other shall be deemed (as to the party taking the action) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard, and (E) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, provides the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to the items in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D).\n(h) In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Trust are named in Loan-Related Litigation, to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer deem it appropriate, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (i) use reasonable efforts to enter into a joint defense agreement and (ii) otherwise cooperate with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.30.\n(i) This Section shall not apply in the event, and to the extent, that the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Loan-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.\n(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the power of attorney, (x) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, in its respective individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain separate counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (y) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (i) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, whether in such capacity or individually, (ii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (iii) settle any claim giving rise to liability to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, in its individual capacity, or (iv) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor to grant such consent); and (z) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall have the right to retain separate counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Custodian or Operating Advisor, as applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Loan-Related Litigation with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively to the extent required in this Section 3.30) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its own name as representative of the Trust. References to Mortgage Loans (including references to Mortgagors, guarantors, obligors and Mortgaged Properties) in this Section 3.30 shall mean Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section, this Section shall not apply to any Loan-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at the time such Loan-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Loan-Related Litigation, LNR Partners, LLC is no longer the Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan or has received notice of its replacement as Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (whether or not such replacement is effective) or such related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan in respect of LNR Partners, LLC as Special Servicer, or (ii) the Depositor, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, any Underwriter, or any of their respective affiliates is an adverse party (with respect to the Trust or the Special Servicer) in such Loan-Related Litigation or holds any interest which is adverse to the Trust or the Special Servicer in the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) or the related Mortgaged Property to which Loan-Related Litigation relates, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by each of the Depositor, Sponsor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser, Underwriter, or affiliate that is such a party or holds such interest.

non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Special Servicer, with respect to litigation involving Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor under the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan documents, and in each case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, contemplates availing itself of indemnification as provided for under this Agreement, shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, direct, manage, prosecute, defend and/or settle any and all claims and litigation relating to any action brought by the Mortgagor against the Trust or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any such Mortgage Loan (the foregoing rights and obligations, \u201cLitigation Control\u201d). Such Litigation Control shall be carried out in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard. Upon becoming aware of or being named in any claims or litigation, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or any Collective Consultation Period) and the Special Servicer (in the case of the Master Servicer) and the Master Servicer (in the case of the Special Servicer) of such claims or litigation, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare and submit a notice of such claims or litigation to the 17g-5 Information Provider (subject to Section 5.7) (and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post same on the 17g-5 Information Provider\u2019s Website pursuant to Section 5.7). The Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Master Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable, shall, during any Subordinate Control Period or any Collective Consultation Period, consult with and keep the Controlling Class Representative advised of any material development concerning Litigation Control, including, without limitation, (i) any material decision concerning Litigation Control and the implementation thereof and (ii) any decision to agree to or propose any terms of settlement, and shall, during any Subordinate Control Period, submit (in written form) any such development or decision to the Controlling Class Representative for its approval or consent. During any Subordinate Control Period and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not take any action implementing any such material development or decision described in the preceding sentence unless and until it has provided such notice to the Controlling Class Representative and the Controlling Class Representative has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice and all information that the Controlling Class Representative has reasonably requested with respect thereto. The Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 5-Business Day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole) and Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has confirmed (during any Subordinate Control Period) that the Controlling Class Representative has received written notice of such action, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative\u2019s response. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Litigation Control relating to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that has either (i) been satisfied or paid in full, or (ii) as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been made, after receiving the required notice from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer set forth above that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, became aware of or was named in any such claims or litigation, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or the Special Servicer (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) may direct in writing that such Litigation Control be exercised by the Special Servicer; provided, that the Controlling Class Representative or the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as applicable, has determined and advised the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer\u2019s actions with respect to such obligations are indemnifiable under this Agreement, and accordingly, any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses incurred up until the date such Litigation Control is so transferred and is not otherwise paid to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement) shall be payable by the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advice, direction or objection of, or consent withheld by, the Controlling Class Representative shall (i) require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan document, any Intercreditor Agreement or similar agreement, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer\u2019s and Special Servicer\u2019s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Loan documents and to maintain the REMIC status of any REMIC created under this Agreement, or (ii) result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC created under this Agreement or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust or have adverse tax consequences for the Trust Fund, or (iii) expose any party to this Agreement, any Seller, any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, any Sub-Servicer or the Trust Fund or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, or (iv) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer\u2019s, the Special Servicer\u2019s, the Certificate Administrator\u2019s, the Trustee\u2019s or the Trust Advisor\u2019s responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will follow any such advice, direction or objection if given by the Controlling Class Representative, or initiate any such actions, that would have the effect described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the preceding sentence.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, or if any judgment is rendered against the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding directly relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise directly relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither of the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, (A) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to grant such consent); and (iii) if any court finds that the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interest, whether as Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim).
