The Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Regular Interests (excluding the right to receive Excess Default Interest) will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LH Uncertificated Interests will represent “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.

-2-

The portions of the Trust Fund consisting of (i) the Specific Grantor Trust Assets and (ii) the Default Interest with respect to the Trust Loan and related proceeds shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes. Each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) shall represent undivided beneficial interests in such Class’s entitlements to the Grantor Trust.

In exchange for the Trust Loan and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, the Trust will issue to the Depositor the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), which Certificates in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial interest in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Notes, the Mortgage and the Loan Documents.

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The Regular Interests will evidence “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class UT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates.

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LH Uncertificated Interests will evidence “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class LT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the initial Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and Pass-Through Rates for the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Class UT-R Interest comprising the interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

Class Designation	Pass-Through Rate	Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount

The Pass-Through Rate for each Certificate Interest Accrual Period and each of the Class LA, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LH Uncertificated Interests will be the Net Mortgage Rate.

⁽²⁾

The Class LT-R Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Premiums. Any Available Funds

constituting assets remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account after distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LT-R Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date, if any, remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account).

All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor herein are for the benefit and security of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as Holder of the Regular Interests and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

THE GRANTOR TRUST

The Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the related portions of the Grantor Trust as described herein. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor 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.

provided that if the Depositor cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (C), (E), (F), (G) and (M) above with evidence of filing or recording thereon (if intended to be recorded or filed), because of a delay caused by the public

-68-

filing or recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered for filing or recordation, or because the timing of the Delivery Date is such that it would not be feasible to obtain such documents from such public filing or recording office in sufficient time to meet the delivery requirements of this Section 2.1(b), the delivery requirements of this Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to have been satisfied on a provisional basis as of the Delivery Date as to such non-delivered document or instrument, and such non-delivered document or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File, if a duplicate original or a photocopy of such non-delivered document or instrument (certified by the applicable public filing or recording office, the applicable title insurance company or the Depositor to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for filing or recording) is delivered to the Custodian on or before the Delivery Date, and either the original of such non-delivered document or instrument, or a photocopy thereof (certified by the appropriate county recorder’s office, in the case of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (C), (E), (F), (G) and (M) above, to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), with evidence of filing or recording thereon, is delivered to the Custodian within 180 days of the Closing Date (or within such longer period, not to exceed 12 months, after the Closing Date as the Custodian may consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the Depositor is, as certified in writing to the Custodian no less often than every 90 days, attempting in good faith to obtain from the appropriate public filing office or county recorder’s office, as applicable, such original or photocopy).

In addition, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for its review all required insurance policies or certificates issued by the insurers showing such insurance to be in effect on the Closing Date, together with proof of payment of premiums relating thereto then due and payable (which may consist of such policies or certificates).

The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, the Servicer on or prior to the Closing Date, at its own expense, with copies of all such documents in its possession constituting part of the Mortgage File. In the event that any letter of credit is delivered by the Borrower under the Loan Documents after the Closing Date, the Servicer shall hold the original of such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders and deliver a copy of such letter of credit to the Trustee.

The Depositor shall cause the Loan Sellers to record or cause a third party to record in the appropriate public recording office the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (C), (E), (F), (G) and (M) above with instructions to return all such recorded documents, or other evidences of filing issued by the applicable governmental offices, to the Custodian, with a copy to the Servicer. In the event that any such document is determined to be defective or not to be in compliance with the requirements of the applicable filing office or recording depository, or if any such document is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Depositor shall cause the Loan Sellers or a third party engaged by the Loan Sellers to promptly prepare a substitute document and cause each such document to be duly submitted for filing or recording, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1(b), in those instances where the public recording office retains an original Mortgage, an original Assignment of Mortgage, an original Assignment of Leases, an original assignment of Assignment of Leases or any other Collateral Security Document, if applicable, after any has been recorded, the obligations hereunder of the Depositor and the obligations of the Loan Sellers under the Loan

-69-

Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a copy of the Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, assignment of Assignment of Leases or a Collateral Security Document, if applicable, certified by the public recording office or the title insurance company to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof.

The ownership of the Trust Notes, the Mortgage, the Collateral Security Documents and all other contents of the Mortgage File shall be vested in the Trust or the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, except in the case of the Trust Notes, the Companion Loan Holders. The Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer agree to take no action inconsistent with the Trustee’s ownership of the Trust Loan and to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Trust Loan has been sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Trust Loan. All original documents relating to the Whole Loan or Trust Loan that are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, except in the case of the Trust Notes, the Companion Loan Holders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.1(b) to be a part of the Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.

The conveyance of the Trust Loan and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and is intended by the parties hereto to constitute an absolute sale and transfer of the Trust Loan and such other related rights and property by the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in exchange for the Certificates being sold by the Depositor. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the rights and obligations of the parties to the Trust Loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee also intend and agree that, in such event, (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, (ii) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the assets constituting the Trust Fund, including the Trust Loan subject hereto from time to time, all amounts received on or with respect to the Trust Loan after the Closing Date, all amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, and, if established, the Foreclosed Property Account, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest under the Loan Purchase Agreement, (iii) the possession by the Custodian of the Trust Notes with respect to the Trust Loan subject hereto from time to time 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” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law, and (iv) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

2.2. Acceptance by the Trustee and the Custodian. (a) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Trust Loan in good faith without notice of adverse claims and the Custodian declares that it holds and will

-70-

hold or will cause to be held such documents as are delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File (to the extent the documents constituting the Mortgage File are actually delivered to it) in trust, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Custodian shall constitute certification by the Custodian that with respect to the Trust Loan (i) the original Trust Notes specified in clause (A) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and all allonges thereto, if any, have been received by the Custodian; and (ii) each original Trust Note has been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have been executed and (C) purports to relate to the Trust Loan. The Custodian agrees to review or cause to be reviewed the Mortgage File within 60 days after the Closing Date, and to deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Directing Holder, the Companion Loan Holders, the Loan Sellers, the Servicer and the Special Servicer a Custodial Certificate and Certification in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto certifying, subject to any exceptions found by it in such review, that (A) all documents referred to in Section 2.1(b) have been received, and (B) all documents have been executed, appear on their face to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn, mutilated or otherwise defaced, and appear on their faces to relate to the Whole Loan. The Custodian shall have no responsibility for reviewing the Mortgage File except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.2(b). The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review, or examine any such documents, instruments or certificates to independently determine that they are valid, genuine, enforceable, legally sufficient, duly authorized, or appropriate for the represented purpose, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except to determine if the endorsement conforms to the requirements of Section 2.1(b)), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, to independently determine that any document has actually been filed or recorded in the appropriate office, that any document is other than what it purports to be on its face, or whether the title insurance policies relate to the Property.

(c) Upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Loan Sellers, the Servicer and the Special Servicer a Final Custodial Certificate in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto along with a final exception report as to any remaining documents that are not in the Mortgage File, whereupon, within 90 days, the Servicer shall either (i) cause the Loan Sellers to cure such document deficiency; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Loan Sellers to repurchase the Trust Loan pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement if such exception is a Material Document Defect; or (iii) other than with respect to a Material Document Defect or Material Breach that causes the Trust Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Code Section 860G(a)(3) (but without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2), which treats defective obligations as a qualified mortgage), cause the Loan Sellers to indemnify the Trust for the losses directly related to such Material Document Defect or Material Breach (subject to receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such action). In accordance with the provisions of the Loan Purchase Agreement, the foregoing cure, repurchase and indemnity obligation will constitute the Trust’s sole remedy against the Loan Sellers in connection with a Material Document Defect. The Servicer shall be reimbursed for any costs,

-71-

fees (including attorney fees) and expenses incurred by it in connection with its obligations related to such enforcement by the Loan Sellers, or if the Loan Sellers prevails in such enforcement action, by the Trust Fund. The Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files and its certification with respect thereto shall not be deemed to constitute “due diligence services” or a “third party due diligence report” as such terms are defined in Rule 17g-10 and 15Ga-2, respectively, promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

(d) If the Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (the receiving Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”) or such a Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal is forwarded to the Servicer or Special Servicer by another party hereto, then the Repurchase Request Recipient shall deliver notice of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Loan Sellers, in each case within 10 Business Days from such party’s receipt thereof. Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic means.

Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the Trust Loan, (ii) the date the Repurchase Communication of the Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal is received, and (iii) in the case of a Repurchase Request, (A) the identity of the Person making such Repurchase Request, (B) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (C) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) is so provided only to assist the Loan Sellers and Depositor or their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Servicer (or to the Special Servicer, if a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing), and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal” under Section 2.2 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement relating to 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Trust 2018-20TS, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2018-20TS requiring action by you as the recipient of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal

-72-

thereunder.” Upon receipt of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2(d) with respect to such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal.

If the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator receives a Repurchase Communication or has actual knowledge of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request Withdrawal of which notice has been previously received or given, and such notice was not received from or copied to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, then such party shall promptly give notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

In the event that the Whole Loan is repurchased pursuant to Section 2.8, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of such repurchase.

In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Certificateholders in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Certificateholders, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the related Specific Grantor Trust Assets in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

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.

-81-

Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will 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. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of a Certificate, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

The Servicer and the Special Servicer, each as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Whole Loan and administer any Foreclosed Property solely on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, all the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted one lender (taking into account the relative subordination of the Trust A-B Notes) (as determined by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment), in accordance with applicable law (including the REMIC Provisions), the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the following standards: (i) (a) in the same manner in which and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, services and administers similar loans and manages foreclosed or other similarly situated properties for third parties, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders in servicing their own loans, or (b) with the care, skill, prudence and diligence the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, uses for loans which it owns or for foreclosed or other similarly situated properties which it owns and manages, whichever is higher; (ii) with a view to the timely collection of (a) all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Whole Loan or, if the Whole Loan comes into and, with respect to the Special Servicer only, continues in default and if no satisfactory arrangements can be made for the collection of the delinquent payments, the maximization of the recovery on the Whole Loan to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender)(taking into consideration the relative subordination of the Trust A-B Notes) on a net present value basis and (b) the payment of Trust Fund Expenses that are reimbursable or payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and (iii) without regard to:

(A) any relationship that the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any affiliate thereof may have with the Borrower, the Mezzanine Lender, any Loan Seller, any Companion Loan Holder or any of their respective affiliates;

(B) the ownership of any Certificate or any interest in the Companion Loans or a Mezzanine Loan by the Servicer or the Special Servicer or by any affiliate thereof;

(E) the ownership, servicing or management for others of any other mortgage loans or mortgaged property by the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Subject to the above-described servicing standards (hereinafter referred to as “Accepted Servicing Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement and of the Loan Documents, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through one or more sub-servicers as provided in Section 3.2, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.

At the written request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, accompanied by the form of power of attorney, as set out in Exhibit Q or other documents being requested, the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or the Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be held responsible (and shall be indemnified by the Servicer or the Special Servicer) for any negligence or misuse by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its uses of any such powers of attorney or other document. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, prior written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s name without indicating the representative capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, and which actually does cause, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be registered to do business in any state.

The liability of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, for actions and omissions in its capacity as Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.3).

-83-

applicable Companion Loan Holder in the manner and time frame set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.

3.2. Sub-Servicing Agreements.

References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in servicing the Whole Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business and licensed in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (ii) qualified to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have received any amount when the sub-servicer receives such amount, irrespective of whether such amount is remitted to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for deposit in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account, any Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, and actions taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Borrower, the Companion Loan Holders and the Depositor in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Whole Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, alone were servicing and administering the Whole Loan.

(c) Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, if such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator,

-84-

the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trust, the Companion Loan Holders or the Trust Fund.

(d) 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 Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and such sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trust, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Whole Loan as required hereby. Furthermore, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may contract with third party vendors or sub-contractors for the performance of limited functions such as the performance of inspections or conduction of appraisals and such contracts shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements and sub-servicers shall not be applicable to such arrangement; provided that the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were performing such functions as required hereby; provided further that any engagement of a party that performs any activity that addresses the Applicable Servicing Criteria shall be considered a Servicing Function Participant and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to Servicing Function Participants shall apply.

-85-

the Companion Loans, and (iii) to the extent provided for under the Co-Lender Agreement, the consultation rights of the Companion Loan Holders.

(x) to the extent not previously paid or advanced, to pay to the Certificate Administrator (or set aside for eventual payment) any and all taxes imposed on the Trust or the Trust Fund by federal or state governmental authorities; provided, that if such taxes are the result of the Depositor’s, Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or Trustee’s, as applicable, negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct, such amounts may not be withdrawn from the Collection Account, but will be paid by such party that was negligent, acted in bad faith or fraudulently or engaged in willful misconduct pursuant to Sections 6.3, 6.6, 8.1, 8.3 and 8.12;

-89-

the Sequential Pay Certificates collected on the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period.

For the avoidance of doubt, payments or collections allocable to the Trust Loan shall be received from or made to the Collection Account and payments or collections allocable to the Companion Loans shall be received from or made to the Companion Loan Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Remittance Date, in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to make a withdrawal pursuant to clauses 3.4(c)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (viii) if, as a result of such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to such withdrawal would be less than the Required Advance Amount; provided that the Servicer shall be permitted to make withdrawals in the order of priority specified above up to the amount on deposit in the Collection Account that would result in funds equaling or exceeding the Required Advance Amount remaining in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such withdrawal limitations shall not apply upon (1) the final liquidation of the Whole Loan and/or the 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, in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to apply any portion of collections that are required to be distributed to the Companion Loan Holders in respect of the Companion Loans pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement to pay or reimburse any CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee, the Certificate Administrator Fee (including the portion that is the Trustee Fee) or any Trust Fund Expenses that are not related to the servicing and administration of the Trust Loan or the Property.

On the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator (on behalf of itself and the Trustee) and advance or pay to the Special Servicer, if applicable, from the Collection Account as provided above amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, therefrom, upon receipt on or prior to the Determination Date of certificates of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, respectively, are entitled. The Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate, shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein and shall have no liability if the amount paid in reliance thereon is an amount to which the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is not entitled.

(d) The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain a reserve account (which may be a subaccount of the Distribution Account) (the “Interest Reserve Account”) on behalf of the Trustee and for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates. Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account shall be uninvested. On each Distribution Date occurring in any February and on any Distribution Date occurring in any January which occurs in a year that is not a leap year (unless, in either case, such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to one day’s net interest collected on the principal balance of the Trust Loan as of the Loan Payment Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs at the related Interest Rate (net of the Servicing Fee, the CREFC^®

-90-

Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee and the Certificate Administrator Fee payable therefrom) to the extent a full Monthly Payment or Monthly Payment Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On each Remittance Date occurring in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January and February, if any, and transfer such amounts into the Distribution Account.

(e) On or prior to the Companion Loan Remittance Date, the Servicer shall distribute all funds in the Collection Account (or any sub-account thereof established for the benefit of the Companion Loan Account) to the Companion Loan Holders in accordance with the amounts due to such holder under the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement.

(f) The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the holders of the Sequential Pay Certificates, a segregated non-interest bearing reserve account (the “Excess Default Interest Distribution Account”). The Excess Default Interest Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account. The Excess Default Interest Distribution Account shall be an asset of the Grantor Trust and beneficially owned by the holders of the Sequential Pay Certificates and shall not be an asset of any Trust REMIC. Funds on deposit in the Excess Default Interest Distribution Account shall be uninvested. Upon receipt from the Servicer of such amounts held in the Collection Account, the Certificate Administrator shall deposit in the Excess Default Interest Distribution Account any Excess Default Interest to be distributed to the holders of the Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class V Certificates, if applicable, as set forth under Section 5.8.

3.5. Distribution Account. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Distribution Account”), which shall be deemed to include the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and the Regular Interest Distribution Account, which shall be subaccounts of the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, as Holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Regular Interests (the “Regular Interest Distribution Account”, “Lower-Tier Distribution Account” and “Upper-Tier Distribution Account”, respectively). The Distribution Account must be an Eligible Account. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall transfer from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account all funds remaining on deposit therein pursuant to clause (xii) of Section 3.4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall credit the funds remitted by the Servicer from the Collection Account to the Distribution Account. Amounts held in the Distribution Account shall be uninvested.

The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account (i) to withdraw any amounts deposited therein in error, (ii) to deposit any required Withheld Amounts into the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.4(d) and (iii) to make distributions to the Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1.

-91-

(b) The Certificate Administrator shall make or be deemed to have made withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:

(i) to make deposits of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.3(b) into the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and to make distributions to the Holder of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) pursuant to Section 4.1(b);

(ii) to withdraw amounts deposited into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in error and pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto; and

(iii) to clear and terminate the Lower-Tier Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.2.

(c) The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:

(i) to withdraw amounts deposited in error;

(ii) to make deposits in the Regular Interest Distribution Account in respect of amounts distributed to the Holders of the Regular Interests and to make distributions to Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or Sections 10.1 and 10.2 as applicable; and

(iii) to clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2.

(d) The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Regular Interest Distribution Account in the following order of priority and only for the following purposes:

(i) to withdraw amounts deposited in error;

(ii) to make distributions to Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or Sections 10.1 and 10.2 as applicable; and

(iii) to clear and terminate the Regular Interest Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2.

3.6. Foreclosed Property Account. The Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more deposit accounts (the “Foreclosed Property Account”) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in the name of either (a) “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer for Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee of 20 Times Square Trust 2018-20TS, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2018-20TS” or (b) the limited liability company wholly owned by the Trust, managed by the Special Servicer, and formed to hold title to the Foreclosed Property pursuant to Section 3.14,

-92-

related to the Foreclosed Property, if any, held for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders. The Foreclosed Property Account must be an Eligible Account maintained with an Eligible Institution. The Special Servicer shall deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account within one Business Day of receipt all properly identified funds collected and received in connection with the operation or ownership of such Foreclosed Property. On or before the Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw the funds in the Foreclosed Property Account, net of certain expenses and/or reserves (to the extent not inconsistent with the express terms hereof, the amount of such reserves to be determined in accordance with the Special Servicer’s reasonable discretion and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices), and deposit them into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a). The Special Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing of the location and account number of the Foreclosed Property Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.

3.7. Appraisal Reductions. (a) Within 30 days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to the Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall (i) notify the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder, of such occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and (ii) order an Appraisal of the Property (provided that the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal of the Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old, unless it has actual knowledge of a material adverse change in the market or condition or value of the Property) and no later than the later of (a) 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to the Whole Loan or (b) 10 Business Days after obtaining the final Appraisal of the Property, the Special Servicer shall determine on the basis of such Appraisal whether there exists any Appraisal Reduction Amount and if so, give reasonably prompt notice thereof to the Companion Loan Holders. The cost of obtaining any such Appraisal shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Updates of any such Appraisal shall be obtained by the Special Servicer, and paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every twelve months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists, and the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly. If required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored by the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there will be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect. Any such Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.7(a) will be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Certificate Administrator, Companion Loan Holders and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such Appraisal on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). Following notification from the Special Servicer of any Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Servicer and the Trustee shall notify the Other Servicer and Other Trustee of the existence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount. Following notification from the

-93-

Special Servicer, the Servicer and the Trustee shall be deemed to have delivered notice of any such Appraisal Reduction Event and any related Appraisal Reduction Amount if the Servicer includes such event and/or amount in its monthly servicer statements provided to the Other Servicer.

The Whole Loan will be treated as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Whole Loan shall be allocated first, to the Trust A-B Notes, up to the full outstanding principal balance thereof, and then, to the Trust A Notes and the Non-Trust A Notes, on a pro rata and pari passu basis, based on their respective outstanding principal balances.

(b) While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, (i) the amount of any Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a) and (ii) the existence thereof will be taken into account for purposes of determining the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c).

(c) The Certificate Balance of each of the Sequential Pay Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (i) the Voting Rights of the related Classes and (ii) whether a Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period is in effect) on any Distribution Date to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. The Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Certificates; and seventh, to the Class B Certificates (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of any Class A Certificates.

Any such allocations of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to:

(i) the Class B Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class B Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(ii) the Class C Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class C Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(iii) the Class D Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class D Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class D Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(iv) the Class E Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class E Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class E Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

-94-

(v) the Class F Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class F Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class F Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(vi) the Class G Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class G Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class G Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively; and

(vii) the Class H Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class H Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class H Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively.

(d) In the event that a portion(s) of one or more Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan was reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amounts of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal have been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 1.3.

(e) If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) either (A) no Appraisal or update of the Appraisal has been obtained or conducted with respect to the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the 12-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially and adversely affect the value of the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new final Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until the new Appraisal is conducted, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Whole Loan shall be equal to 25% of the Loan Principal Balance for the Whole Loan, and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, shall be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Subordinate Consultation Period is then in effect or the allocation of Voting Rights for certain purposes, deemed Appraisal Reduction Amounts imposed pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence will not be allocated to any Class of Certificates; provided, however, this sentence shall not affect in any manner the effect of Appraisal Reduction Amounts based upon anything other than such clause (x), including when the related Appraisals are received.

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Event, the appraised value (as determined by an updated Appraisal) of the Property securing the Whole Loan will be determined on an “as-is” basis, based upon the current physical condition, use and zoning of the Property as of the date of the Appraisal.

-95-

If the Certificate Balance of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its Original Certificate Balance, such Class will be referred to as the “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 Property (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Special Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared by an Independent Appraiser).

In addition, if subsequent to a Class of Control Eligible Certificates becoming an Appraised-Out Class there is a material change with respect to the Property related to the Appraisal Reduction Amounts that caused such Class to become an Appraised-Out Class, the Requesting Holders will have the right to request, in writing, that the Special Servicer obtain an additional Appraisal, which request shall set forth the Requesting Holder’s belief of what constitutes a material change to the Property (including any related documentation). The costs of obtaining such additional Appraisal will be paid by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that there has been a change with respect to the Property and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall order another Appraisal from an Independent Appraiser, the identity of which shall be determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (provided that such Independent Appraiser may not be the same Independent Appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal and provided further that the Holders of an Appraised-Out Class may require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal no more than once in any nine-month period). Appraisals that are permitted to be requested by any Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices upon the occurrence of such material change 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.

Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to the two preceding paragraphs, the Special Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amounts based upon such second Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the applicable Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amounts determination may not exercise any rights of the related Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall comply with the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the rights of a Companion Loan Holder to request or obtain additional Appraisals and to request recalculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

3.8. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account and the Foreclosed Property Account. (a) The Servicer (and, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account, the Special Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account, the Foreclosed Property Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower), respectively (each, for purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account 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 direction by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. 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 on behalf of the Trust. The Trustee shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Foreclosed Property Account) as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

(i) 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

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

(b) All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account and the Reserve Accounts (to the extent not payable to the Borrower) shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in accordance with the terms and priorities of this Agreement. All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer. Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account, the Reserve Accounts (except in the case of any such loss with respect to a Reserve Account, to the extent such losses are incurred on amounts invested for the benefit of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents) or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be

-97-

reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the above, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss was incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depositary institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account so long as (i) such depositary institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution at the time such investment was made and (ii) such loss was incurred within 30 days after the date of such insolvency, and (iii) such loss is not the result of fraud, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Servicer 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 Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(c), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee (in its capacity as the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be) shall cover any losses from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a depository institution holding an account described in this Section 3.8, if (i) immediately prior to such bankruptcy or insolvency such institution was an Eligible Institution at the time of such deposit and (ii) such loss was not the result of fraud, bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable.

3.9. Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc. The Servicer (other than with respect to any Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Property (or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the Property (or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums). The Servicer shall pay (or cause to be paid) real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Loan Documents. If the Borrower does not make the necessary payments and/or a Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.23, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Property when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items,

-98-

ground rents, leasehold rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

3.10. Appointment of Special Servicer. (a) Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Whole Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder.

(b) If there is a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer may be removed and replaced pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall, promptly after receiving notice of any such Special Servicer Termination Event, notify the Servicer, the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator) and the Certificate Administrator (which shall post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)), the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b). The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing and a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee. Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.6(a) mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession. The terminated Special Servicer shall retain all rights accruing to it under this Agreement, including the right to receive fees accrued prior to its termination and other amounts payable to it (including indemnification payments).

(c) Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Whole Loan, the Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, and the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Loan Holders and the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Whole Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Servicer, in any event, shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Whole Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Whole Loan, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, which commencement shall occur, in the case of a Special Servicing Loan Event, upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. The Special Servicer shall instruct the Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Whole Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Borrower under the Whole Loan to the Special Servicer who shall

-99-

send such notice to the Borrower while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing with respect to the Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Loan Holders, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Whole Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Whole Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.

(e) In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Whole Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional Whole Loan information, including correspondence with the Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any related analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

(f) During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing with respect to the Whole Loan, on the Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer to the extent not included in the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File a written statement describing (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest received on the Whole Loan, the amount of all payments on account of principal received on the Whole Loan, the amount of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received, the amount of any Foreclosure Proceeds received with respect to the Property, and the amount of net income or net loss, as determined from 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 rental income that does not constitute rents from real property with respect to, the Foreclosed Property, in each case in accordance with Section 3.15 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Whole Loan as the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Whole Loan and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(h) Within 60 days after a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs with respect to the Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Whole Loan and the Property and deliver such report in electronic format to the Servicer, the Directing Holder (but only during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period), the Risk Retention Consultation Party (for so long as it is not a Borrower Related Party), the Companion Loan Holders (for so long as it is not a Borrower Related Party) and to the 17g-5

-100-

Information Provider in accordance with Section 8.14(b), (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)). Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

(i) summary of the status of the Whole Loan and any negotiations with the Borrower;

(ii) a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time to the Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the Whole Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

(iii) the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the Property;

(iv) the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the Whole Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;

(v) the appraised value of the Property together with the assumptions used in the calculation thereof;

(vi) the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect thereto, any proposed workouts with respect thereto and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional Loan Events of Default;

(vii) a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any Ground Lease;

(viii) a description of any proposed or taken actions;

(ix) the alternative courses of action considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

(x) the decision that the Special Servicer made or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives; and an analysis of whether or not taking such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions; and

(xi) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.

The Special Servicer shall (x) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and 17g-5 Information Provider the Final Asset Status Report and to the Certificate Administrator a

-101-

proposed notice to Certificateholders that will include a summary of the Final Asset Status Report in an electronic format (which shall be a brief summary of the current status of the Property, but will not include any information related to its workout strategy with respect to the Whole Loan), and the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and (y) implement the Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the Certificate Administrator. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post the Asset Status Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and, following the prompt delivery of such modified Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider and a summary of the same to the Certificate Administrator, and each shall post the modified Asset Status Report and summary of the Final Asset Status Report thereof to its respective website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), shall implement such report.

Subject to the last paragraph of Section 9.3(a), during any Subordinate Control Period, if within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Holder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report. If, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the determination described below, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval, to the Directing Holder, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g 5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b)). During any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.10(h) until the Directing Holder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report, until the Directing Holder’s approval is no longer required or until the Special Servicer makes the determination described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (A) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the Property or the Whole Loan or, if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of a ten (10) Business Day period and (B) shall implement the action recommended in the Asset Status Report if it makes a determination in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that such affirmative disapproval is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders; provided, however, that such Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any other specific consent or approval right which the Directing Holder may have pursuant to Section 9.3.

The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Consultation Period) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) and the Companion Loan Holders a copy of each Final Asset Status Report, in each case with reasonable promptness following the adoption thereof. The Special Servicer shall provide a summary of such report to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary to its Internet website.

-102-

After the termination of any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h) or otherwise direct the Servicer or Special Servicer. After the termination of any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or obtain consent, approval or direction from any Directing Holder prior to or after acting or making any determination (and provisions of this Agreement requiring such consultation, consent or approval shall be of no effect) during the period following any resignation or removal of a Directing Holder and before a replacement is selected and/or identified; and (ii) no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by Section 9.3 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, as contemplated by this Agreement, may (and the applicable Servicer or Special Servicer may ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause such Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate applicable law, the terms of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, including, as applicable, the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” under the Code, (C) expose the Trust, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(i) During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Borrower and, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) take any actions consistent with Section 3.24, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Asset Status Report.

(j) In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the Determination Date the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Whole Loan.

3.11. Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained by the Borrower (or if the Borrower fails to maintain such insurance in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, and to the extent the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to the Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained by the Borrower under the Loan Documents. The cost of any such insurance maintained by the Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Neither the Servicer nor the Special

-103-

Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Borrower to be in default with respect to the failure of the Borrower to obtain, all-risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve-out for terrorist or similar acts, if and only if the Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder, have determined, on an annual basis, that such insurance is not required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof.

(b) The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance with respect to any Foreclosed Property as the Borrower is required to maintain with respect to the Property referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11 or, at the Special Servicer’s election, coverage satisfying insurance requirements consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of any such insurance with respect to any Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a)) that is required to be maintained with respect to a Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.

(c) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Property or the Foreclosed Property, as the case may be for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding subsections of this Section 3.11. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to the Property or Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Borrower, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited in the Collection Account but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertains to the Whole Loan, or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(d) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy (rated by an insurance

-104-

company that has a claims paying ability rating at least equal to “A3” by Xxxxx’x and its equivalent by Morningstar (if then rated by Morningstar) (or such other rating as to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained) covering its directors, officers, employees, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons. Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d). The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer. If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer and the Special Servicer if each were servicing and administering the Whole Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy. Each shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above. In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, the Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long as the long term debt obligations or deposits of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (or its immediate or remote parent) is rated at least “A3” by Xxxxx’x or at least its equivalent rating by Morningstar (if then rated by Morningstar).

(e) No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator will make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder.

3.12. Procedures with Respect to Defaulted Loan; Realization upon the Property. (a) Upon a Loan Event of Default, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (subject to the rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Party and Directing Holder during any Subordinate Control Period (and upon non-binding consultation with the Directing Holder and Risk Retention Consultation Party (unless it is a Borrower Related Party) during any Subordinate Consultation Period)), subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein or otherwise available in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, including foreclosure or otherwise realization on the Property and the other collateral for the Whole Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing

-105-

Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which case it will be an expense of the Trust.

(b) Such proposed acceleration of the Whole Loan and/or foreclosure on the Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Whole Loan to cure the Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or constitute a “significant modification” of the Whole Loan under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(c) In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Property, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore damage done to the Property by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder. If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore the Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on the Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders and thereby be the beneficial owner of the Property, or take any other action with respect to such item that would cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of the Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund by an independent person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided to the Trustee and the Companion Loan Holders by the Special Servicer), that (i) the Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials which require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider in electronic format (and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall make such report available on its website to the Rating Agencies and NRSROs pursuant to Section 8.14(b)).

-106-

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 and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder to consent to and/or consult and the right of the Risk Retention Consultation Party to consult in respect of such action, as applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof and subject to the rights of the Mezzanine Lender, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral other than the Property unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust) to the effect that such acquisition will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)) under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding.

If the Special Servicer commences foreclosure of the Whole Loan, it shall promptly provide written notification of such action to the holders of the Mezzanine Loan (or, if such Mezzanine Loan is part of a securitization trust, to the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and the directing certificateholder of such securitization).

The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(e) The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not hold for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:

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

(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case the cost of such Opinion of Counsel shall be

-107-

treated as a reimbursable expense of the Servicer related to foreclosure) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding.

(g) Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Property following a Loan Event of Default and cancellation of the Whole Loan, the Whole Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding and held by the Trust Fund (in the case of the Trust Loan) and by the Companion Loan Holders (in the case of the Companion Loans) for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Whole Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding in accordance with the preceding sentence, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and Companion Loans immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and Companion Loans, as applicable, immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(a).

3.13. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Items in the Mortgage File. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Whole Loan or foreclosure of or realization on the Property, the Custodian shall, upon request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a request for release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release or cause to be released any items from the Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the lesser of (i) seven (7) calendar days and (ii) five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the related request for release and shall execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such request for release shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to return such items to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists.

3.14. Title and Management of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to the Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, as trustee for the Holders of the 20 Times Square Trust 2018-20TS, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2018-20TS or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly owned by the Trust and which is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer; provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to the Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a Property Protection Advance, unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be treated as a reimbursable expense of the Servicer related to the foreclosure. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property held by the Trust Fund as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Sections 3.15 and 12.2. Subject

-108-

to Sections 12.2 and 3.14(d), the Special Servicer may hire on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. In connection with such management and subject to Section 3.4(c)(viii), the Successor Manager shall be entitled to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(viii).

(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to a Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to Section 3.6.

(c) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with a Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient liquidation of such Foreclosed Property, so long as the Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer may retain an independent contractor to operate and manage the Foreclosed Property; provided, however, the retention of an independent contractor will not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Foreclosed Property.

The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Foreclosed Property Account all revenues received with respect to the Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of such Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:

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

(ii) all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of such Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to preserve such Foreclosed Property, including the payment of ground rent, if any.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and all similar amounts or expenses), the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

-109-

(d) The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, may (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:

(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt; and

(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust Fund on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders with respect to the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an 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. All Foreclosed Property Management Fees shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(viii). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.

(e) On or before the Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and deposit into the Collection Account the proceeds and collections received or collected since the preceding Remittance Date through the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date on or with respect to any Foreclosed Property (including any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of such Foreclosed Property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

3.15. Sale of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to the Property is acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of

-110-

sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, shall sell any Foreclosed Property as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions in a manner designed to preserve the capital of the Certificateholders and not with a view to the maximization of profit, but in no event later than the Rated Final Distribution Date in a manner provided under this Section 3.15.

(b) If the Special Servicer acquires any Foreclosed Property in the name of and on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer shall be empowered, subject to the Code and to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the management and operation thereof in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, all on terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole (as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted one lender) and consistent with the REMIC Provisions.

(c) Subject to the consent and non-binding consultation rights of the Directing Holder and the non-binding consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid for any Foreclosed Property received from any person. However, in no event may such bid be less than an amount at least equal to the Repurchase Price related to such Foreclosed Property through the date of sale and all reasonably estimated liquidation expenses. In the absence of any such bid, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid which it determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last 9 months. If the highest bidder is the Borrower, an affiliate of the Borrower, a Restricted Holder, the Ground Lessee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder (or any of their respective Affiliates), the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an independent Appraisal; provided that if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuation of or investment in loans similar to the Whole Loan, which such expert shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the sole purpose of determining whether any such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Whole Loan; provided, further, that if the Trustee so designates any such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination and the reasonable costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by the Trustee in making such determination shall be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but, during any Subordinate Control Period, subject to the consent rights of the Directing Holder and the non-binding consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Party set forth in Section 9.3 herein, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a

-111-

lower cash offer (from any person other than itself or an affiliate) if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender). For avoidance of doubt, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party may submit bids on any Foreclosed Property in the same manner and at the same time and place as any other bidder. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Foreclosed Property.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.14 and 12.2, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Foreclosed Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of any Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Fund, the Companion Loan Holders or the Certificateholders (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(e) The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a).

(f) Within 30 days of the sale of any Foreclosed Property, if not previously included in a CREFC^® Report provided by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Companion Loan Holders a statement of accounting for such Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date such Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Loan Principal Balance of such Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Companion Loan Holders may reasonably request.

(g) The Special Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of the Property required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Whole Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.

3.16. Sale of Defaulted Loan.

(a) (i) Within 60 days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event with respect to the Trust Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal for the Property. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify in writing

-112-

the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders, the Risk Retention Consultation Party and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event. Upon delivery by the Special Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, and subject to the rights of the Mezzanine Lender to purchase the Whole Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person the Whole Loan or may offer to purchase the Whole Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders, the Risk Retention Consultation Party (unless it is a Borrower Related Party) and the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period) not less than five (5) Business Days’ (and with regard to the Companion Loan Holders, 15 Business Days) prior written notice of its intention to sell the Whole Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest cash offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Whole Loan in an amount at least equal to the related Repurchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the related Repurchase Price therefor, purchase the Whole Loan at the related Repurchase Price. Any Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Certificate Administrator in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The Companion Loans shall be sold together with the Whole Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.

(ii) In the absence of any offer at least equal to the related Repurchase Price (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for the Defaulted Loan. However, if the highest cash offeror is the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder (or any of its Affiliates), the Risk Retention Consultation Party, any property manager, any Borrower, any Borrower Related Party, any independent contractor engaged by the Special Servicer, a holder of any interest in a Mezzanine Loan, a Restricted Holder or any known affiliate of any of the foregoing (any such person, an “Interested Person”), then the Trustee (based upon, among other things, the Appraisal ordered pursuant to the preceding paragraph (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) and copied or otherwise delivered to the Trustee) shall determine if the highest cash offer is a fair price and such determination shall be binding upon all parties; provided that if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuation of or investment in loans similar to the Defaulted Loan, which such expert shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the sole purpose of determining whether any such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan; provided, further, that if the Trustee so designates any such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled

-113-

to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination and the reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by the Trustee in making such determination shall be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase the Defaulted Loan. For avoidance of doubt, the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party may submit bids on the defaulted Loan in the same manner and at the same time and place as any other bidder.

(iii) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, giving due regard to the relative subordination of the Trust A-B Notes). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted as single lender); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to sell the Defaulted Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

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

(b) Any sale of the Defaulted Loan by the Special Servicer shall be subject to the Directing Holder’s consent and non-binding consultation rights and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s non-binding consultation rights as described in Section 9.3 herein.

(c) The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Defaulted Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Defaulted Loan has not yet occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if the Defaulted Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Defaulted Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of a workout arrangement, (iii) the Defaulted Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off) or (iv) the Mezzanine Lender has purchased the Trust Loan pursuant to its purchase option for the Trust Loan under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Any sale of the Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) shall be for cash only.

-114-

(e) The Special Servicer shall have the obligation to sell the Defaulted 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 Holders. The Special Servicer shall provide notice to the Companion Loan Holders or, if applicable, the applicable Other Special Servicer (if any) as soon as practicable following its decision to attempt to sell, and prior to the commencement of marketing of, the Companion Loans.

3.17. Servicing Compensation. (a) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Whole Loan and Foreclosed Property payable monthly out of the Collection Account from payments of interest on the Whole Loan or Foreclosure Proceeds allocable as interest on such Foreclosed Property, as the case may be in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c)(ii). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain as compensation any late payment charges and certain other customary charges and fees to the extent described below, as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than: (i) fees of any sub-servicer and the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to Servicer if such expenses were incurred by the Servicer; (ii) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (iii) overhead expenses of the Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Servicer hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection with its servicing obligations hereunder (the “Servicer Customary Expenses”). So long as no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall also be entitled to retain certain other customary charges and fees including any late payment charges (including any late payment fees collected after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event but accrued prior to such Special Servicing Loan Event) (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees (except as otherwise provided in the Co-Lender Agreement)), assumption application fees, substitution fees, defeasance fees, Modification Fees, consent fees (subject to the fourth paragraph of this Section 3.17), loan service transaction fees, insufficient funds fees and similar fees and expenses (except for the portion of the assumption fees (but not assumption application fees), Modification Fees, consent fees and similar fees, if any, that the Special Servicer is entitled to, as provided below) to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected and allocated to such amounts as permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement (in each case, to the extent actually received from the Borrower), release fees and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account and any Reserve Accounts (to the extent not payable to the Borrower) to the extent provided for in this Agreement (“Additional Servicing Compensation”); provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any any late payment charges, with respect to the Whole Loan, with respect to which a default thereunder or Loan Event of Default is continuing unless and until such default or Loan Event of Default has been cured and all delinquent amounts due with respect to the Whole Loan have been paid.

-115-

If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing with respect to the Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Special Servicing Fee with respect to the Whole Loan for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than: (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and (iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer in connection with its servicing obligations hereunder (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”). If a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Borrower negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Work-out Fee on all payments of principal and interest made on the Whole Loan following such written agreement for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur with respect to the Whole Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns after such written agreement is entered into and before or after the Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Work-out Fees on all payments of principal and interest (other than at the Default Rate) made on the Whole Loan following such written agreement (negotiated by such Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation) for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur with respect to the Whole Loan and the successor Special Servicer shall have no rights with respect to such Work-out Fee. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Liquidated Property or the liquidation of the Whole Loan (whether through sale, discounted payoff or other liquidation) as to which the Special Servicer receives Net Liquidation Proceeds, except that no Liquidation Fee shall be payable in connection with (a) a repurchase of the Trust Loan (or any Loan Seller Percentage Interest in the Trust Loan) by a Loan Seller pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement (so long as such repurchase occurs prior to the expiration of the Initial Resolution Period or Extended Resolution Period (if applicable)), (b) the sale of the Whole Loan to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Holder or any of their affiliates pursuant to Section 3.16 hereof if such sale occurred within 90 days after the transfer of the Whole Loan to the Special Servicer or (c) the purchase of the Whole Loan by a holder of the Mezzanine Loan within 90 days following the date that such holder’s option was first given to such Mezzanine Lender. The Liquidation Fee shall be payable from, and shall be calculated using, the related Net Liquidation Proceeds. Each of the foregoing fees shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(c). With respect to the Whole Loan for which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), (except as otherwise provided in the Co-Lender Agreement), assumption fees, assumption application fees, Modification Fees, loan service transaction fees, consent fees (subject to the second paragraph below) and similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected (to the extent permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) and allocated to such amounts in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement or this Agreement, and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this

-116-

Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account to the extent provided in this Agreement (“Additional Special Servicing Compensation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Whole Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan solely due to the failure to make the Balloon Payment and the Whole Loan is refinanced on or before the date that is four (4) months after the Maturity Date, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to collect a Liquidation Fee or Work-out Fee only from the Borrower and shall not otherwise be entitled to deduct a Liquidation Fee from amounts due to the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the Whole Loan and any Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Work-out Fee or a Liquidation Fee with respect to the Whole Loan, but not both.

The Special Servicer shall also be entitled, if the Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, to 100% of the consent fees or similar fees, assumption fees or Modification Fees, and if the Whole Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan, 50% of the consent fees or similar fees, assumption fees or Modification Fees that are paid in connection with a consent, assumption or modification that the Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, in each case, to the extent that such consent fee or similar fee, assumption fee or Modification Fee is actually collected on the Whole Loan.

The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in its sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee or payment payable to such party; provided, however without the consent of the affected party, (x) neither the 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 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 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 Servicer had charged a fee and the Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an expense incurred under this Agreement or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless (i) the amount of such payment to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is reimbursed to the Trust Fund by the Borrower (to the extent the Borrower is required to do so under the Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Borrower to reimburse for such payment constitutes a Loan Event of Default; (iii) such expense would qualify as an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or is otherwise an unanticipated expense (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as an expense of the Trust Fund or as an Advance.

-117-

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Servicing Fee (or the Special Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Special Servicing Fee) or other servicing compensation provided for herein shall be made, and any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with the assumption by such successor of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2.

Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights 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), to any QIB or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Benefit 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 Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities 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 M-6 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit M-7 hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities 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. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, 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 Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association 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 Trust, the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities 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 Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. Following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right or the termination of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association as the Servicer, the Person then acting as the Servicer, shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Servicer as Servicing Fees, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one (1) Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to such Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to such 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 Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

-118-

As compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Distribution Date the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to the Certificate Administrator Fee and the Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee. Except as otherwise provided herein (i) the Certificate Administrator’s fee includes all overhead expenses of the Certificate Administrator and the Authenticating Agent and (ii) the Trustee Fee includes all overhead expenses of the Trustee. Each of the Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Certificate Administrator Fee and the Trustee Fee, as applicable, may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

-119-

The Special Servicer, if the Trust Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, and the Servicer, if the Trust Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan, shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to collect promptly and review from the Borrower quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the Property, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of the Borrower, and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of the Trust Loan.

(c) The Servicer shall produce the reports described in this Section 3.18 solely from information provided to the Servicer by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement (without modification, interpretation or analysis) or by the Special Servicer, Loan Sellers or Depositor pursuant to this Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any Companion Loan Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of such information (except that the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to correct patent errors).

(d) With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and within two (2) Business Days following the related Determination Date, an electronic report that discloses and

-120-

contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period.

(e) The Servicer shall provide written notice to the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of the Condominium Conversion, within five (5) business days following the Servicer’s receipt of the officer’s certificate that the Borrower is required to deliver in support of the Condominium Conversion pursuant to Section 10.28(d)(ii) of the Loan Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall then post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s website as a “special notice”.

3.19. [Reserved].

3.20. [Reserved].

3.21. Access to Certain Documentation Regarding the Trust Loan and Other Information. (a) Upon reasonable advance notice, the Certificate Administrator shall provide reasonable access during its normal business hours at its Corporate Trust Office to certain reports and to information and documentation in its possession regarding the Trust Loan to any Privileged Person (other than the Rating Agencies). With respect to the Borrower and any Affiliate thereof, such information is limited to the Distribution Date Statement, and shall require the delivery of an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto.

(b) Upon request of the Depositor or the Rating Agencies, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any additional information requested by the Depositor or the Rating Agencies (including without limitation pursuant to clause (a) above) to the extent such information is delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider electronically in accordance with Section 8.14(b). In no event shall the 17g-5 Information Provider disclose on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website which Rating Agency requested such additional information.

(c) If any of the parties to this Agreement receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any party in connection with any third-party due diligence services such party may have provided with respect to the Trust Loan (“Due Diligence Service Provider”), such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any Form ABS Due Diligence-15E it receives directly from a Due Diligence Service Provider or from another party to this Agreement, promptly upon receipt thereof.

3.22. Inspections. The Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property not less frequently than once each year commencing in 2019, so long as a Special Servicing Loan Event is not then continuing; provided, however that the Servicer will not be required to inspect the Property if it has been inspected in the previous 12 months. The Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Property as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a related Special Servicing Loan Event and annually for so long as a Specially Serviced Loan Event is continuing. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall further inspect, or cause to be inspected, the Property whenever it receives information that the

-121-

Property has been materially damaged, left vacant, or abandoned, or if waste is being committed thereto. All such inspections shall be performed in such manner as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of the annual inspections referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred to in this paragraph shall be a Trust Fund Expense and if paid by the Servicer shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall prepare a written report of inspection and deliver it to the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Companion Loan Holders in electronic format. The Certificate Administrator shall post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

3.23. Advances. (a) In the event that a Monthly Payment (other than any Balloon Payment, any Default Interest but including any Assumed Monthly Payment) or any portion of a Monthly Payment (or Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) representing interest and/or principal, if any, on the Trust Loan has not been received by the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date, the Servicer, subject to its determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance on such Remittance Date to the Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment (or Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) or any such portion of such Monthly Payment (or Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) on the Trust Loan that was delinquent as of the close of the Business Day immediately prior to such Remittance Date (net of the Servicing Fee with respect to the Trust Loan, which shall not be paid to the Servicer until funds in the Collection Account are available for payment of such fee); provided that neither the Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance with respect to the Trust Loan if the related Monthly Payment (or, if applicable, the Assumed Monthly Payment) in respect of the Trust Loan is received by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Remittance Date. (For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer will have any obligation to make any principal and/or interest debt service advances with respect to the Companion Loans). The Servicer shall also advance in respect of each Loan Payment Date following a delinquency in the payment of any Balloon Payment of the Trust Loan or a foreclosure (or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion) of the Whole Loan, not later than the related Remittance Date, to the Distribution Account, the amount of any Assumed Monthly Payment deemed due with respect to the Trust Loan on such Loan Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the amount of interest and principal, if any, due on the Trust Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Trust Loan, any future Monthly Payment Advance made with respect to the modified Trust Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in this Section 3.23, in the event that the Property becomes a Foreclosed Property, the Servicer shall continue to make advances as required pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) with respect to each Loan Payment Date following such event in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment or the Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable, due or deemed due with respect to the Trust Loan on such Loan Payment Date, as if the Property had not become a Foreclosed Property and the Trust Loan continued to be outstanding. If and to the extent such information is not already included in the Distribution Date Statement for the month in which such Monthly Payment Advance is made, the Servicer shall notify the Other Servicer and Other Trustee with respect to each Companion Loan Securitization Trust of the amount of

-122-

any Monthly Payment Advance made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) within two (2) Business Days of making such advance. The Servicer shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) on the Trust Loan and shall notify the Certificate Administrator thereof in the appropriate CREFC^® Reports in order to permit allocation thereof pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5. In the event that the Servicer does not remit any amounts required to be remitted to the Certificate Administrator on each Remittance Date (including any amounts required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.5 and any required Monthly Payment Advance) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator interest on such amounts at the federal funds rate for the period from and including the Remittance Date to but excluding the Distribution Date or, if earlier, the actual remittance date.

At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to the Trust Loan, the amount that would otherwise be required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of interest on the Trust Loan shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan minus the Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Trust Loan and the denominator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the Servicer or the Trustee be required to make a Monthly Payment Advance as described in this Section 3.23(a) with respect to the Trust Loan if it has been repurchased from the Trust Fund by a Loan Seller as contemplated in Section 2.8(b).

(b) Subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance, to the extent it determines that such amount is not non-recoverable, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the preservation, restoration, operation and protection of the Property which, in the Servicer’s sole discretion, exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, are necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s interest in the Property, (ii) the payment of (A) real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the Property or revenues therefrom or which become liens on the Property, (B) insurance premiums and (C) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent not paid by the Borrower that are incurred in connection with a sale of the Whole Loan, the negotiation of a workout of the Whole Loan, an assumption of the Whole Loan or a release of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage, (iii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures and including, but not limited to, court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs for third party experts, including Independent Appraisers, environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Property if the Property is acquired by the Special Servicer or its Affiliate in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”). In addition, subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance certain Trust Fund Expenses that are reimbursable and payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement to the extent not already covered by a Property Protection Advance (collectively, “Administrative

-123-

Advances”). (For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to make any Administrative Advance or Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Companion Loans). During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to the Whole Loan or Foreclosed Property; provided, however, that only three (3) Business Days’ written notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Protection Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.

With respect to the payment of insurance premiums and delinquent tax assessments, in the event that the Servicer determines that a Property Advance of such amounts would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer shall deliver notice of such determination to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer. The Servicer (with respect to the Whole Loan while it is not a Specially Serviced Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan or Foreclosed Property) shall determine (in the case of the Special Servicer, with the reasonable assistance of the Servicer, if applicable) whether the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole (taking into account the relative subordination of the Trust A-B Notes) as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender. If the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that the payment of such amount (i) is necessary to preserve the Property and (ii) would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer (in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan) shall direct the Servicer in writing to make such payment and the Servicer shall make such payment, to the extent of available funds, from amounts in the Collection Account.

(c) To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6. It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and shall continue to apply with respect to the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan, as applicable, after any modification or amendment of the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.24 hereof, beyond the Maturity Date of the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan, as applicable, if a payment default shall have occurred on such date and through any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the Borrower or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the requirement of recoverability, and shall continue, subject to the requirement of recoverability, until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan, as applicable, and (ii) the date on which the Property becomes liquidated.

-124-

(d) Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer or the Trustee shall accrue for each day that such Advance is outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (the “Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the Prime Rate was reported, if not reported on such day) (and with respect to Companion Loan Advances, the rate set forth in the Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month. If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance also includes, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through but excluding the date of payment or reimbursement. Interest on Advances, if unreimbursed, shall compound annually.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made. The Trustee and the Servicer, in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Advances from the Collection Account and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(c). If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through but excluding the date of payment or reimbursement.

(f) The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to (i) the Certificate Administrator, (ii) the Trustee in electronic format (if such determination is made by the Servicer), (iii) the Servicer (if such determination is made by the Trustee), (iv) the Special Servicer, (v) the Companion Loan Holders, (vi) the Directing Holder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period), and (vii) any Other Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee under each related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (for purposes of this clause (vii) only, promptly and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such determination or such longer time period permitted by the Co-Lender Agreement) detailing the reasons for such determination with supporting documents attached. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator by posting such officer’s certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b). The costs of any appraisals, reports or surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses (and such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement), payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c), and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or Administrative Advance, as applicable, if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its funds. Subject to Section 6.3, the Servicer’s determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its reasonable business judgment.

-125-

(g) With respect to the Whole Loan, the Servicer and the Trustee are not obligated to advance or pay (i) the principal portion of any Balloon Payment with respect to the Trust Loan or Companion Loans (but are obligated to advance the related Assumed Monthly Payment in respect of the Trust Loan only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), (ii) any Default Interest, (iii) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from Uninsured Causes (except as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)), any failure of the Property to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Property in accordance with Section 3.12 upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Property, (iv) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title to the Property, (v) any costs of capital improvements to the Property other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust’s interest in the Property, (vi) any administrative advances or Companion Loan Advances with respect to the Companion Loans or (vii) subordinated obligations, including the Mezzanine Loan.

3.24. Modifications of Loan Documents. (a) (i) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing) or the Special Servicer (if a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing) may, subject to the rights of the Directing Holder, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, and of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, modify, waive or amend any term of the Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and (b) does not either (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a “grantor trust” under the Code or (ii) constitute a “significant modification” of the Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such determination). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer or the Special Servicer permit an extension of the Maturity Date beyond the date that is seven (7) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. In connection with (i) the release of the Property or portion thereof from the lien of the Mortgage or (ii) the taking of the Property or portion thereof by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Property, or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the Whole Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions.

(b) All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Whole Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Servicer (if notice is from the Special Servicer) Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders, the Depositor, during any Subordinate Control Period or Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder, and the Risk Retention Consultation Party (unless the Risk Retention Consultation Party is a Borrower Related Party) in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Whole Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Companion Loan Holders) an original recorded counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within 10

-126-

Business Days following the execution and recordation thereof with a copy to the Servicer. In the event the Servicer or Special Servicer, or a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Whole Loan, modifies the interest rate applicable to the Trust Loan, the aggregate adverse economic effect of the modification (if any) shall be applied to the Certificates, in reverse order of seniority. If the Whole Loan is modified, the Net Mortgage Rate shall not change for purposes of distributions on the Certificates.

(c) Subject to Section 3.27 of this Agreement, any modification of any Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation in the Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation. Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Borrower’s expense in accordance with the Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Loan Agreement or if the Borrower does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(d) Subject to Section 3.27 of this Agreement, prior to implementing any of the actions under the definition of RAC Decision, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer and (if a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing) the Special Servicer may, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (without any Rating Agency Confirmation or consent of the Directing Holder), grant the Borrower’s request for consent to subject the Property to a non-material easement, right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another similar purpose and may consent to subordination of the Whole Loan to such easement, right of way or similar agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit the substitution of the Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the Loan Documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Notes when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the Loan Documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the Borrower) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, a single purpose entity shall act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the Borrower to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the Borrower, Rating

-127-

Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and each rating agency relating to the Companion Loan Securities (subject to Section 3.27).

(g) To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for the Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Whole Loan in advance of its Loan Payment Date, and not as a prepayment of the Whole Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in any Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

3.25. Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and any agent thereof in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Servicer or the Special Servicer or such agent except as otherwise provided herein subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in the definition of Certificateholder.

3.26. Intercreditor Agreement; Notice of Trust Loan Event of Default to Mezzanine Lender. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall exercise, comply with, perform and/or enforce the rights and obligations of the Trust as successor-in-interest to the mortgagee under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The rights of the Trust and the Certificateholders in and under the Trust Loan and the Loan Documents shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

3.27. Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation or a written confirmation from a Rating Agency that any action will not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings on the Certificates as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) seeking to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation and, within 10 Business Days of such request being sent to the applicable Rating Agency, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is either declining to review such request or waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required to (i) confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation again, (ii) if there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation or written confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request, then (a) with respect to any condition in any Loan Document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or such written confirmation, or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Whole Loan (other than as set forth in clause (b) below), such condition shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such Rating Agency (provided that granting such request is in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) and (b) with respect to a replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to (1) Moody’s, if the applicable

-128-

replacement has been appointed and currently serves as master or special servicer on a deal-level or transaction-level basis for a CMBS transaction that has securities outstanding that are then-currently rated by Moody’s and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement as the sole or material factor in such rating action or any qualification, downgrade, withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating agency downgrade or withdrawal) of securities rated by Moody’s in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Xxxxx’x is the non-responding Rating Agency, and (2) Morningstar, if (i) such replacement servicer or special servicer has a ranking by Morningstar higher than or equal to “MOR CS3” as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable or (ii)(A) such replacement servicer or special servicer is acting as master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by a Rating Agency within the 12-month period prior to the date of determination and (B) Morningstar has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement servicer or special servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating or ratings of one or more classes of such commercial mortgage backed securities.

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (and email will be sufficient as a writing), which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, deems necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b).

Promptly following the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.27(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being considered satisfied, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.14(b).

(b) For all other matters or actions requiring Rating Agency Confirmation and not specifically discussed in Section 3.27(a) above, the applicable Requesting Party shall obtain and deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

3.28. Certain Co-Lender Matters Relating to the Whole Loan.

(a) If, pursuant to Section 2.8, or Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Trust Loan is, in its entirety, purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Trust Notes under the Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of the Trust Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Trust Notes (as a result of

-129-

such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Trust Notes) on behalf of the holders of the Non-Trust A Notes that evidence the Companion Loans. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Trust Notes or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the Companion Loan Holders as their interests appear under the Co-Lender Agreement. If the related servicing file is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Whole Loan.

(b) With respect to a Companion Loan that becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the asset representations reviewer or any other party to the Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such asset review by providing the asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the asset representations reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent (i) the requesting party or asset representations reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the Loan Sellers or a party to the Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) such documents are in the possession of the 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 Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall (i) have further obligations for such asset review or be bound by the related Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement or shall (ii) be obligated to provide such documents if providing such documents would, in its reasonable determination, be a violation of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but only to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Companion Loan Holders with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of the Companion Loans to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the Companion Loan Holders to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(d) The Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, on an ongoing basis, a statement setting forth:

(i) the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to principal, separately identifying the amount of balloon payments, principal prepayments made at the option of the Borrower or other principal prepayments (specifying the reason therefor), net liquidation proceeds and foreclosure proceeds included therein and information on distributions made with respect to the Whole Loan;

To the extent that the Loan Sellers reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered by the Trust, the Loan Sellers shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery to the same extent. If less than 100% of the Nonrecoverable Advances are reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Servicer shall reimburse the Trust and the Loan Sellers on a pro rata basis from such amounts received from the Borrower.

(d) The Servicer shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days) after the Closing Date deliver notice to the related ground lessor of the transfer of the Trust 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 Servicer; provided that the Loan Sellers shall cooperate with the Servicer with respect to such notices, including, without limitation, providing the form of notice to be delivered to such ground lessors.

3.30. Additional Matters with Respect to Repurchases.

(a) In the event that any Loan Seller repurchases its respective portion of the Trust Loan (such Loan Seller, a “Repurchasing Seller”) in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof and Section 8 of the Loan Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.30 shall apply, and each Loan Seller has agreed in the Loan Purchase Agreement as follows with respect to the servicing and administration of the Whole Loan in the event of such a repurchase unless and

-132-

until such time as all of the Notes are repurchased or otherwise no longer part of the Trust, and the related successor holders thereof have entered into a servicing agreement with respect to such Notes.

(b) To the extent that not all of the Loan Sellers repurchase their Loan Seller Percentage Interests pursuant to the terms of the Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) the Trust Loan shall continue to be serviced by the Servicer and, if applicable, the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on behalf of any Repurchasing Seller and the Certificateholders as a collective whole (but in all events, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph), and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be the sole representative of such Repurchasing Seller in connection with any enforcement, bankruptcy or other proceeding, (ii) the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain the mortgagee of record with respect to the Mortgage on behalf of the Trustee and each Repurchasing Seller, (iii) the Certificate Administrator Fee (which includes the Trustee Fee), Servicing Fee and/or Special Servicing Fee, and the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee with respect to the Trust Loan shall continue to be calculated based on the entire outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan or the Whole Loan, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Repurchasing Seller shall bear such fees on a pari passu and pro rata basis (based upon the principal balance of the Repurchasing Seller’s Note and the other Note(s) remaining in the Trust) with the portion of the Trust Loan remaining in the Trust from collections on the Whole Loan, (iv) the Custodian shall retain all portions of the Mortgage File other than the related Note corresponding to a Repurchasing Seller’s Loan Seller Percentage Interest; provided that the Repurchasing Seller may request and the Custodian shall provide (at the cost and expense of such Repurchasing Seller) copies of all of the documents in the Mortgage File (other than the Note related to the Repurchasing Seller’s portion of the Trust Loan), (v) all Realized Losses, Trust Fund Expenses, Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Work-out Fees and all other amounts reimbursable to any Person under the terms of this Agreement shall, in each case, be allocated to the Loan Seller Percentage Interest on a pari passu and pro rata basis with the portion of the Trust Loan remaining in the Trust, (vi) the Repurchasing Seller, provided that it is not a Borrower Related Party or an agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, shall be entitled to receive any and all reports and have access to any and all information that a Certificateholder and/or Privileged Person would otherwise have under the terms of this Agreement, (vii) to the extent this Agreement refers to the “Mortgage File”, such “Mortgage File” shall be construed to mean the Mortgage File for the entire Trust Loan, (viii) the Servicer shall remit to the Repurchasing Seller on each Remittance Date from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s pro rata share, based upon its Loan Seller Percentage Interest, of all amounts available from the Collection Account on such Remittance Date with respect to the Trust Loan and such amounts shall be wired in accordance with the directions provided to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer by such Repurchasing Seller at least 10 Business Days prior to the related Remittance Date and (ix) all provisions contained in this Agreement that pertain to the indemnification by the Trust of any other Person relating to the servicing and administration of the Trust Loan shall be deemed to be a several (but not joint) indemnity from the Trust and such Repurchasing Seller on a pro rata basis, and such Repurchasing Seller’s liability under such indemnity provisions shall be in proportion to its Loan Seller Percentage Interest; provided that (i) under no circumstances shall any Repurchasing Seller be liable under any such indemnification provisions to the extent such liability arises out of matters relating to the administration of the Trust as a grantor trust for tax

-133-

purposes, (ii) in any event, no Repurchasing Seller shall be required to pay more than the amount that is in relative proportion to the amount actually paid by the Trust in respect of such indemnity and (iii) any such amounts with respect to the Repurchasing Seller and its related Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such amounts shall be payable solely from collections in respect of the Trust Loan that would be payable to such Repurchasing Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any Monthly Payment Advance or Administrative Advance with respect to any Repurchasing Seller’s Loan Seller Percentage Interest of the Trust Loan which has been repurchased as described herein. In no event shall the Repurchasing Seller transfer, sell, assign, hypothecate, participate or encumber its Loan Seller Percentage Interest to any Borrower Related Party or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, and any purported transfer that violates this sentence will be void ab initio unless the portion of the Trust Loan remaining in the Trust is also being transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated, participated or encumbered to any such Person. Solely in respect of any amendment to this Agreement that relates to the rights or interests of a Loan Seller or any affiliate thereof (other than as set forth in this Section 3.30) any Certificate held by such Repurchasing Seller shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purposes of providing or withholding consent or approval over any action or matter under this Agreement (other than with respect to any amendment of this Section 3.30 or any other provision for the benefit of such Repurchasing Seller, with respect to which such Repurchasing Seller shall be an intended third party beneficiary and whose consent shall be required for any such amendment) and shall be deemed to have no Voting Rights related thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing: (i) none of the Certificateholders shall bear any additional expenses, costs or fees resulting from the servicing of any portion of the Trust Loan owned by a Repurchasing Seller (and in no event shall such expenses be Trust Fund Expenses) and (ii) each Repurchasing Seller agrees in the Loan Purchase Agreement to bear its Loan Seller Percentage Interest of such amounts. In addition, other than as set forth in this Section 3.30, to the fullest extent possible under law, each Repurchasing Seller shall be deemed to have waived all rights of consent, consultation, direction or any other action in respect of the Trust Loan, all of which shall be exercised by the Servicer and the Special Servicer (and in no event shall the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee take any direction of such Repurchasing Seller (or any Affiliate of such Repurchasing Seller) in connection therewith).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Repurchasing Seller or any of its respective Affiliates shall be under any liability to the Trust, any party to this Agreement, the Certificateholders or any other Person for any amount or be required to pay any amount other than from its Loan Seller Percentage Interest of ongoing collections on the Trust Loan that would otherwise be payable to such Repurchasing Seller (for the avoidance of doubt, such amounts shall not include amounts previously distributed to such Repurchasing Seller and such prior amounts shall not be subject to any claw back unless such amounts were distributed to such Repurchasing Seller in error), and the liability of the Loan Sellers is hereby expressly limited to such amounts.

business on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

(d) The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, post a notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), deliver such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)) and mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

(i) the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates shall 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

(ii) if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificate from and after the Certificate Interest Accrual Period related to such Distribution Date.

(e) Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one 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 Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. All such amounts shall be held by the Certificate Administrator in trust in accordance herewith until the expiration of a two-year period following such second notice, notwithstanding any termination of the Trust Fund. Subject to applicable state escheatment laws, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall hold all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof 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

-143-

termination of the Trust Fund, at which time such amounts shall, subject to applicable law, be distributed to the Depositor. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.1(e). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator shall not be invested.

(f) The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the calculations with respect to distributions from the Trust so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no duty to recompile, recalculate or verify the accuracy of information provided to it by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(a) and, in the absence of manifest error in such information, may conclusively rely upon it.

(g) On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses with respect to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Balance of each Class of Regular Interests in the following order:

first, to the Class H Regular Interest;

second, to the Class G Regular Interest;

third, to the Class F Regular Interest;

fourth, to the Class E Regular Interest;

fifth, to the Class D Regular Interest;

sixth, to the Class C Regular Interest;

seventh, to the Class B Regular Interest; and

eighth, to the Class A Regular Interest; in each case until the Certificate Balance of the related Class has been reduced to zero.

On any Distribution Date, allocations of Realized Losses to any Class of Regular Interests shall result in a corresponding reduction of the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.

Any such Realized Losses in respect of:

(A) the Class A Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class A Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class A Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(B) the Class B Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class B Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

-144-

(C) the Class C Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class C Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(D) the Class D Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class D Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class D Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(E) the Class E Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class E Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class E Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(F) the Class F Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class F Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class F Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(G) the Class G Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class G Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class G Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively; and

(H) the Class H Regular Interest shall be further allocated to the Class H Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class H Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively.

To the extent any Realized Losses are subsequently recovered, the amount of such recovery shall be reimbursed to the Certificateholders in the following order: first, to the Class A Regular Interest, second, to the Class B Regular Interest, third, to the Class C Regular Interest, fourth, to the Class D Regular Interest, fifth, to the Class E Regular Interest, sixth, to the Class F Regular Interest, seventh, to the Class G Regular Interest and eighth, to the Class H Regular Interest (and the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), in each case up to the amount of any Realized Losses, if any, that have been allocated to such Class.

4.2. Withholding Tax. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders or any payee that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount from interest payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed to such Certificateholder or payee, and the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee through a report.

(b) Each Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence its status for United States withholding tax purposes and understands

-145-

that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

4.3. Allocation and Distribution of Yield Maintenance Premiums and Excess Default Interest. (a) On any Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Premiums collected in respect of the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributed to the holders of each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) in the following manner: the Certificateholders of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date, an amount of Yield Maintenance Premiums for the Trust Loan prepayments, in an amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Certificates representing principal payments collected in respect of the Trust Loan on such Distribution Date and (b) the Yield Maintenance Premiums collected during the related Collection Period. If there is more than one such Class of Certificates entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Yield Maintenance Premiums are distributable, the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Premiums shall be allocated among all such Classes of Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements thereto in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.

(b) All Yield Maintenance Premiums distributable pursuant to Section 4.3(a) shall first be deemed to have been distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LA Uncertificated Interest (whether or not the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest has been reduced to zero) and from the Upper-Tier REMIC to the Grantor Trust in respect of the related Classes of Regular Interests.

(i) the Class A Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class A Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class A Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(ii) the Class B Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class B Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

-146-

(iii) the Class C Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class C Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(iv) the Class D Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class D Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class D Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(v) the Class E Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class E Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class E Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(vi) the Class F Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class F Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class F Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively;

(vii) the Class G Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class G Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class G Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively; and

(viii) the Class H Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class H Certificates and the Class V Certificates, pro rata in proportion to the Class H Percentage Interest and the Class V Percentage Interest, respectively.

(d) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Default Interest Distribution Account any amounts on deposit therein that represent any remaining Default Interest that is allocated to the Trust Notes under the Co-Lender Agreement (the “Excess Default Interest”) collected on the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period and shall distribute (i) the Class V Percentage Interest of any such amounts to the holders of the Class V Certificates and (ii) the Sequential Pay Percentage Interest of any such amounts to the holders of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates as follows:

Class	% of Excess Default Interest
Class A	4.00%

During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

-157-

such other documents as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably require), then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, 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 equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.

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

(g) Non-Book Entry Certificate to Global Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Global Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Global Certificate of the same Class.

-159-

such Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled.

(h) Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only.

(i) Transfers of RR Interest. At all times (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the RR Interest), if a transfer of all or a portion of the RR Interest is to be made, then 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 M-4, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and Depositor 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 M-5, which such certification must be countersigned by the Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor with a medallion stamp guarantee of the Retaining Sponsor. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Certificate Registrar shall, subject to Section 5.2(e) and Section 5.3(a), reflect all or any such portion of the RR Interest in the name of the prospective transferee.

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

Prior to the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to the issuance of the Certificates, transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of clause (e) above.

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

-160-

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

(n) None of the Class R Certificate, the Class G Certificates, the Class H Certificates or the Class V Certificates may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) (each, a “Plan”), or any person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of a Plan to purchase the Class R Certificate, the Class G Certificates, the Class H Certificates or the Class V Certificates, other than, in the case of the Class G Certificates, Class H Certificates and the Class V Certificates, an insurance company using assets of its general account under circumstances whereby such purchase and the subsequent holding of the Class G Certificates, the Class H Certificates or the Class V Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60, or a substantially similar exemption under Similar Law. Each prospective transferee of the Class R Certificate, the Class G Certificates, the Class H Certificates or the Class V Certificates shall deliver to the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit M-3, stating that the prospective transferee is not a person described in the first sentence of this paragraph. No Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E or Class F Certificates may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of a Plan to purchase such Certificate, unless (A) the purchaser is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) under the Act) and (B) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate by the purchaser will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a similar non-exempt violation of Similar Law). Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

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

(i) Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition of a Residual Ownership Interest 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

-161-

void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii) No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the transfer, and such proposed transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto.

(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. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary

to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(iv) The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates, and transferred to and owned by QIBs.

Every Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner, by receiving and holding or beneficially owning a Certificate, agrees that neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such Special Notice.

5.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served.

5.8. Exchanges of Exchangeable Groups of Certificates.

(a) The Grantor Trust shall be maintained by the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, in part for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates). The assets of the Grantor Trust held for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) shall consist of the Regular Interests and Excess Default Interest. The Regular Interests shall be held by the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Trustee. At all times, each Regular Certificate shall represent beneficial ownership interests in the related Class Percentage Interest of the related Regular Interest and Excess

-165-

Default Interest, in each case, with the corresponding alphabetical and numerical designation. At all times, the Class V Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership interests in the Class V Percentage Interest of the Regular Interests and Excess Default Interest.

(b) On the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust shall issue the several Classes of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates). Each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) shall be initially issued with the respective aggregate initial Certificate Balance set forth for such Class in the Introductory Statement.

(c) Following the Closing Date and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.8(d), if a Certificateholder holds a uniform Tranche Percentage Interest in an Exchangeable Group of Certificates, then such Exchangeable Group of Certificates may be exchanged on the books of the Depository for the same Tranche Percentage Interest in any other Exchangeable Group of Certificates as the Certificates to be surrendered. The Certificate(s) identified in the table below under “Exchangeable Group 1” and “Exchangeable Group 2” are each an “Exchangeable Group” of Certificates.

Exchangeable Groups

For the avoidance of doubt, by way of example, the holder of a uniform Tranche Percentage Interest of each Class of Regular Certificates (collectively referred to in the table above as “Exchangeable Group 1”) may exchange such Certificates for the same Tranche Percentage Interest in the Class V Certificates (referred to in the table above as “Exchangeable Group 2”).

(d) An exchange of an Exchangeable Group of Certificates may only occur if the Certificates being surrendered or received in such exchange have denominations no smaller than the minimum Denominations set forth in Section 5.1(b).

In addition, the Depositor shall have the right to make or cause exchanges on the Closing Date and shall deliver instructions substantially in the form of Exhibit R to the Certificate Administrator along with the original Certificate exchanged (unless such exchanged Certificate was deemed issued).

(e) For any exchange other than any exchange effectuated on the Closing Date by the Depositor pursuant to Section 5.8(d), at the request of the Holder of a uniform

-166-

Tranche Percentage Interest of an Exchangeable Group of Certificates, and upon the surrender of the Certificates evidencing such Tranche Percentage, the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall deliver (by the means set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 5.8(g)) the corresponding Exchangeable Group of Certificates to which such Certificateholder is entitled as set forth in Section 5.8(c).

(f) In connection with any exchange of an Exchangeable Group of Certificates, (i) the Certificate Registrar shall reduce the outstanding aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes comprising the Exchangeable Group of Certificates surrendered by the applicable Holder on the Certificate Register and shall increase the outstanding aggregate Certificate Balance of the related Class or Classes of the Exchangeable Group of Certificates received by such Holder in such exchange on the Certificate Register, (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall reduce the initial Certificate Balance specified in the Introductory Statement to this Agreement, as applicable, of the Class or Classes comprising the Exchangeable Group of Certificates surrendered by the applicable Holder on the Certificate Register and shall increase the initial Certificate Balance specified in the Introductory Statement to this Agreement, as applicable, of the related Class or Classes of the Exchangeable Group of Certificates received by such Holder, and (iii) in the case of any related Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall approve the instructions at the Depository and make appropriate notations on the Global Certificate for each related Class of Certificates to reflect such reductions and increases. Any transfer of a Certificate evidencing the RR Interest to (i) a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code relying on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 89-90 or (ii) an insurance company general account relying on Sections I and III of XXXX 00-00 xxxxx xx effected through Natixis Securities Americas LLC or Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC.

(g) For all exchanges other than any exchange effectuated by the Depositor pursuant to Section 5.8(d), in order to effect an exchange of an Exchangeable Group of Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing or by e-mail at xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx (with a subject line referencing “20 Times Square Trust 2018-20TS” and setting forth the proposed Exchange Date) no later than three (3) Business Days before the proposed exchange date (the “Exchange Date”). The Exchange Date may be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month. An exchange notice must (i) be set forth on the applicable Certificateholder’s letterhead, (ii) carry a medallion stamp guarantee and (iii) set forth the following information: the CUSIP Number of each Certificate to be exchanged and each Certificate to be received; the original and outstanding Certificate Balance of the Certificates to be exchanged and the original and outstanding Certificate Balance of the Certificates to be received; the Certificateholder’s Depository participant number, if applicable; and the proposed Exchange Date. The Certificateholder and the Certificate Registrar shall utilize the “deposit and withdrawal system” at the Depository to effect the exchange of the applicable Certificates that are Global Certificates. A notice shall become irrevocable on the second (2nd) Business Day before the proposed Exchange Date. Global Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for the corresponding Global Certificates on and after the Closing Date, by notice to the Certificate Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit R.

-167-

(h) The Certificate Administrator shall make the first distribution on a Certificate received by a Certificateholder in any exchange on the Distribution Date in the month following the month of exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificate and Distribution Date. If an Exchange Date occurs in any month before the Distribution Date in such month, then any distributions to be made on such Distribution Date on any Certificates surrendered in the exchange shall be so made to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificates and such Distribution Date. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to ensure the availability of the applicable Certificates in the market to accomplish any exchange.

Any Person into which the Servicer or the Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the servicing business of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of such Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that (1) such successor or surviving Person would not cause the then current rating on any of the Certificates to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn by each Rating Agency or any Companion Loan Securities by each rating agency then rating any Companion Loan Securities (each, as evidenced in writing from each Rating Agency and such written evidence delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee) and (2) if the Servicer or Special Servicer enters into a merger and is the surviving entity under the applicable law, such Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will not, as a result of the merger, be required to provide a Rating Agency Confirmation.

In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liabilities of the Trust, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from funds on deposit in the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer shall, after receiving payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, promptly notify the Companion Loan Holders and use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise on behalf of the Trust any rights under the Co-Lender Agreement to obtain indemnification and reimbursement for the portion of such amount allocable to each Companion Loan from the Companion Loan Holders (if permitted under the Co-Lender Agreement).

Subject to Section 6.6, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates or for the use or application by the Trustee or Certificate Administrator of any funds paid to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in respect of the Trust Loan deposited into or withdrawn from the Distribution Account or any account (other than the Collection Account and the Foreclosed Property Account and any other account maintained by the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to this Agreement) maintained by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (except to the extent that any such account is held by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its commercial capacity), or for investment of such amounts (other than investments made with the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its commercial capacity).

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor and, during any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder. No resignation by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement shall become effective until a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer may assign its duties and obligations under this Agreement under certain limited circumstances as described herein.

(viii) the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (a) has failed to maintain a ranking by Morningstar equal to or higher than “MOR CS3” as a master servicer or a special servicer, as applicable, and such ranking is not reinstated within 60 days of such event (if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has or had a Morningstar ranking on or after the Closing Date) or (b) if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as

-173-

applicable, has not been ranked by Morningstar on or after the Closing Date, and Morningstar has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Certificates or placed one or more Classes of Certificates on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal, publicly citing servicing concerns with the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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); and

For avoidance of doubt, (i) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer shall not cause there to have occurred a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Special Servicer Termination Event and (ii) the occurrence of a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Special Servicer shall not cause there to have occurred a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Servicer unless the relevant event also constitutes a Servicer Termination Event.

(c) If a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event or

Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as possible, post such written notice thereof on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and provide the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider who shall post written notice thereof to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and thereafter, give written notice to the Rating Agency, Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders. During any Subordinate Control Period, the Directing Holder shall have the right to select the successor special servicer following any Special Servicer Termination Event. Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer affects only the Companion Loans, any holder thereof, or the rating on a class of Companion Loan Securities then the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable may not be terminated at the direction of the holders of any Certificates or any Companion Loan Holder (acting in such capacities); provided that, a Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to direct that the Trustee direct the Servicer to appoint a sub-servicer (or if the Whole Loan is currently being sub-serviced, then the Trustee will direct the Servicer to replace such sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer but only if such original sub-servicer is in default (beyond any applicable cure periods) under the related sub-servicing agreement, and the Servicer shall be permitted to terminate the sub-servicing agreement due to such default) that will be responsible for servicing the Whole Loan.

(d) 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 who shall execute and deliver to the other parties hereto an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, 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 obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and each rating agency relating to the Companion Loan Securities prior to the termination of the 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 by the Trustee or the Trust in connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 7.1(a)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no successor special servicer appointed by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.4, Section 7.1(c) or this Section 7.1(d) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall be required to meet any independent net worth requirements; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor special servicer shall satisfy any

-175-

Rating Agency conditions set forth in the Rating Agency Confirmation delivered by such Rating Agency with respect to such successor special servicer.

(e) After the termination of a Subordinate Control Period, upon (i) the written direction of holders of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates) of the Sequential Pay Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction, (ii) payment by such holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and expenses and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such holders to the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmations from each Rating Agency and each rating agency relating to the Companion Loan Securities with respect to the appointment of such new special servicer (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post written notice of the same to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by mail, and shall conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard, which such vote must occur within 180 days of posting of such notice. If 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights have been exercised by the Certificateholders (a “Certificateholder Quorum”), then, upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Certificateholder Quorum (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Certificates) (which direction must be received by the Certificate Administrator), the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor Special Servicer designated by such Certificateholders; provided such successor Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and such successor Special Servicer is not also the current special servicer of the Mezzanine Loan, and subject to the replaced Special Servicer’s indemnification, payment of outstanding fees and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination; provided further, such successor Special Servicer certifies in writing that it satisfies all related qualifications set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement; provided further that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer. The Holders of the Certificates 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. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may access such notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and that each Certificateholder may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.

-176-

(f) In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”) (with a copy to the Borrower), 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 with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, 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) or 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 Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, or resigns under Section 6.4(b), to promptly (and in any event no later than 10 Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party (which term shall include for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(f), the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) 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 Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(f), the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) to the Collection Account, the Companion Loan Account, any Foreclosed Property Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to the Whole Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the function of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such

-177-

costs and expenses. If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor 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 pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.

(g) In no event shall the Trustee be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

7.2. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.4(b), the Terminating Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer including a successor appointed under Section 6.4(a)) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) shall, unless prohibited by law, be the successor to the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer of the Special Servicer under Section 6.4(b)) in all respects 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 Terminated Party by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party 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 or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating Party or such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer, and any other successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any liability of the Terminated Party that may have arisen prior to its termination as such. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Terminated Party herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the Terminated Party or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Terminated Party nor shall the Terminating Party or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer be required to purchase the Trust Loan or the Companion Loans hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all compensation with respect to the Trust Loan or the Companion Loans to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled that accrues after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder and, in the case of a successor Special Servicer, the Special Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates so request in writing to the Trustee, or the Trustee is not approved by the Rating Agencies and each rating agency relating to the Companion Loan Securities as a Servicer or Special Servicer, as the

-178-

case may be, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation or if a Rating Agency Confirmation is not obtained, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established loan servicing institution reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee the appointment for which a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. 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 a Terminated Party hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in the applicable capacity as herein above provided. 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 the Whole Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party hereunder, except 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 paid pursuant to Section 3.4(c). The Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b) of this Agreement, if a Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as applicable, under Section 7.1(a)(vii) or (viii) and the terminated Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer, if requested to do so by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Whole Loan from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.2 and Section 7.2 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation (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, however, that (i) at the Trustee’s request, the terminated Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master 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 Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the receipt by the terminated Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor servicer entering into a sub-servicing agreement with the terminated Servicer to service the Whole Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to the Servicing Fee minus the Retained Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of having no obligation to enter into a sub-servicing agreement with the terminated 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

-179-

Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor servicer hereunder. The Successful Bidder shall enter into this Agreement as successor servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a sub-servicing agreement with the terminated Servicer as contemplated above), no later than 45 days after the termination of the terminated Servicer. Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, and upon payment of the proceeds by the Successful Bidder to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out of pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.2 as successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer, it may reduce such terminated Servicer’s Retained Fee Rate and/or Excess Servicing Fee to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Servicer would otherwise be below market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.2, it may reduce the Retained Fee Rate and/or Excess Servicing Fee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.2.

7.3. [Reserved.]

7.4. Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, or so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.1, 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 Holders (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, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from the Collection Account (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 Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

7.5. Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Special Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and upon adequate indemnification of the Trustee by the requesting Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits

-180-

(including Monthly Payment Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any Foreclosed Property Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and the related Servicer Termination Event or Special 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 default or impair any right related thereto.

7.6. Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (w) within five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period (but not less than one Business Day) as may be required, if applicable, to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required under the Loan Documents or this Agreement with respect to the Property or to avoid any foreclosure or similar action with respect to the Property by reason of failure to pay real estate taxes, assessments, ground or leasehold rents or governmental charges) of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtaining knowledge of such failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to any Advances (other than any Monthly Payment Advances on the Trust Loan) and (x) by 12:00 noon New York time on the related Distribution Date with respect to Monthly Payment Advances on the Trust Loan. If the Certificate Administrator has not received any required Monthly Payment Advance on the Trust Loan from the Servicer by 11:00 a.m. on the related Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice to that effect to the Trustee, and if the required Monthly Payment Advance on the Trust Loan is still not received by the Certificate Administrator by 11:45 a.m. on the related Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall again provide notice to that effect to the Trustee, who shall then perform the obligations set forth in the preceding sentence. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s rights, as applicable, with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the 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 such Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder and further subject to the Trustee’s standard of good faith judgment); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee, the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee (in that order) until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Advances and interest accrued thereon. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder. The Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be responsible for advancing Monthly Payment Advances or Administrative Advances with respect to the Companion Loans.

8. THE TRUSTEE AND Certificate Administrator

8.1. Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, and after the curing or waiver

-181-

of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event that may have occurred, undertakes with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties hereunder. In case a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.4, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent institution would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Trustee (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have the power to exercise all the rights of a holder of the Whole Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall be exercised by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.2(a) and 8.3, each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator that are specifically required to be furnished to it pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine, or cause to be examined, such instruments to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 8.3, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its failure to perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement, its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however, that:

(i) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and/or the Certificate Administrator (including those provided pursuant to Section 10.1) and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;

-182-

(ii) the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or such Responsible Officer, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii) the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement;

(iv) the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer to comply with any of their respective obligations referred to in Section 7.1 or any other act or circumstance upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to take action unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure, act or circumstance or the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Borrower or Holders of the Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates;

(v) subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any duty except in the case of the Trustee, acting in its capacity as a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer (A) to record, file or deposit this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to maintain of any such recording or filing or depositing or any re-recording, refiling or redepositing thereof, (B) to maintain any insurance, and (C) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer or the Special Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement reasonably believed by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; and

(vi) for all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action with respect to, or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice and such actual knowledge otherwise obtained, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively assume that there is no Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

-183-

(d) None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to (i) expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if there are reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, or (ii) exercise any of its rights or powers or take any action if it determines such exercise or action is contrary to law, and none of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, except with respect to 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible or have liability in connection with the duties assumed by the Authenticating Agent, and the Certificate Registrar hereunder, unless the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is acting in any such capacity hereunder; provided, further, that in any such capacity the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have all of the rights, protections and indemnities provided to it as Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder, as applicable.

8.2. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1:

(i) each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, auditor’s certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(ii) each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may consult with any nationally recognized counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

(iii) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, which may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in

-184-

it by this Agreement, and with respect to the Trustee, to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

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

(v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event hereunder and after the curing or waiver of such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event that may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein (except as specifically required by this Agreement) or to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by either party in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c) in the event that such investigation relates to a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, if such an event shall have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation (and such expense shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement);

(vi) each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys selected by it with due care but shall not thereby be relieved of responsibility for such duties;

(vii) the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement other than as set forth in Section 3.8 (other than investments made with the Certificate Administrator in its commercial capacity); and

(viii) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to post any kind of bond or surety in connection with the execution and performance of its duties hereunder, and in no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be liable for punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind

-185-

whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

In no event shall either the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to force majeure or acts of God; provided that such failure or delay is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as applicable.

In addition, for so long as a Subordinate Control Period is in effect, subject to Section 9.3(b), Section 9.3(c) and the immediately following paragraph, 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 reasonably deem advisable.

If the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Holder or any direction or advice from the Directing Holder or Risk Retention Consultation Party would (A) otherwise require or cause the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, applicable law, provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event or resulting in the Grantor Trust failing to qualify as a “grantor trust” or this Agreement, (including without limitation, actions inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices), or (B) expose any Certificateholder, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors or agent to any claim, suit or liability, (C) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust, loss of “grantor trust” status or loss of REMIC status or (D) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s responsibilities hereunder, then the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction or advice and notify the Directing Holder or the Risk Retention Consultation Party, as applicable, and 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 Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Holder or Risk Retention Consultation Party that does not violate the Loan Documents, this Agreement, any applicable law, provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event or resulting in the Grantor Trust failing to qualify as a “grantor trust” or Accepted Servicing Practices or any other provisions of this Agreement, shall not result in any liability on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer. The Servicer may request that the Certificate Administrator provide the names of the Majority Controlling Class Certificateholders, and the Servicer will be able to conclusively rely on such information.

-208-

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

If a Subordinate Control Period is again in effect following the termination of such period, then the Companion Loan Holders or the Controlling Class, as applicable, shall regain all the consent and direction rights of the Controlling Class set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to appoint a Directing Holder).

In connection with the Directing Holder’s and the Risk Retention Consultation Party’s right to consent or consult with respect to a Major Decision, as applicable, if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that action is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender (taking into consideration the relative subordination of the Trust A-B Notes), from potential harm if such action is not taken, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may take actions with respect to the Properties before the expiration of the applicable period for the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party to respond as described in this section, if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender (taking into consideration the relative subordination of the Trust A-B Notes), and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder and the Risk Retention Consultation Party.

After the termination of any Subordinate Consultation Period, the Directing Holder shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and shall have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder. However, the Directing Holder shall maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder.

(c) For purposes of determining the Directing Holder, exercising any rights of the Controlling Class or the Directing Holder or receiving Asset Status Reports or any other information under this Agreement other than Distribution Date Statements, any holder of any interest in a Controlling Class Certificate who is a Borrower, a property manager or an agent or Affiliate of the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a Holder or Beneficial Owner of the related

-209-

Controlling Class and shall not be entitled to exercise such rights or receive such information. If, as a result of the preceding sentence, no Holder or Beneficial Owner of Controlling Class Certificates would be eligible to exercise such rights, there will be no Directing Holder.

The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide to the Companion Loan Holders copies of any notice, information or report that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions, within the same time frame it is required to provide such materials to the Directing Holder.

9.4. Directing Holder Contact with Servicer and Special Servicer.

Upon reasonable request, each of the 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) regarding the performance and servicing of the Whole 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 Whole Loan after a Special Servicing Loan Event and the servicing of any Foreclosed Property) for which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, 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.

9.5. The Risk Retention Consultation Party

(a) The Special Servicer shall consult, solely on a non-binding basis (and consider alternative actions recommended by such party), with the Risk Retention Consultation Party with respect to any Major Decision in the same manner as set forth in Section 9.3 with respect to the consultation rights of the Directing Holder during any Subordinate Consultation Period. In the event the Special Servicer receives no response from the Risk Retention Consultation Party within 10 days following the later of (i) the Special Servicer’s written request for input on any requested consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by such Risk Retention Consultation Party related to the subject matter of such consultation, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party solely with respect to the specific matter.

(b) If the Risk Retention Consultation Party rights are directly or indirectly held by a Borrower Related Party, then the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to consult with such Risk Retention Consultation Party and such Risk Retention Consultation Party shall have no consultation rights as set forth above in clause (a).

(c) The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall be selected by the Holders of more than 50% of the RR Interest. Each Holder of an RR Interest shall be entitled to vote in each election of the Risk Retention Consultation Party. NREC shall be the initial Risk Retention

-210-

Consultation Party and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Once a Risk Retention Consultation Party has been selected, each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on any written notice of such selection until a successor is appointed as set forth above in clause (c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively rely on any Investor Certification provided to it in connection with the foregoing and may require that Investor Certifications are resubmitted from time to time in accordance with its policies and procedures.

(e) The Risk Retention Consultation Party may be removed at any time by the written vote of the holders of more than 50% of the RR Interest, and a copy of the results of such vote must be delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.

(f) Upon the resignation or removal of the Risk Retention Consultation Party, any successor Risk Retention Consultation Party shall deliver to the parties to this Agreement a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit J-3 to this Agreement prior to being recognized as a new Risk Retention Consultation Party. The parties hereto shall be entitled to assume that the Risk Retention Consultation Party has not changed absent such notice. The Risk Retention Consultation Party may not be a Borrower Related Party.

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

(h) The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall be responsible for its own expenses.

(i) The Risk Retention Consultation Party shall not have any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for having acted in accordance with or as permitted by this Agreement.

Each Holder of the RR Interest 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 RR Interest, the selection of the Risk Retention Consultation Party or the resignation or removal thereof. Any Certificateholder or its designee at any time appointed Risk Retention Consultation Party is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Certificate Administrator when such Certificateholder or its designee is appointed Risk Retention Consultation Party and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the

-211-

Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Servicer of the identity of the Risk Retention Consultation Party and any resignation or removal thereof. In addition, upon the request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the name of the then-current Risk Retention Consultation Party and a list of the Holders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Risk Retention Consultation Party has consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement and such expense would qualify as an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), or otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) of the RR Interest to such requesting party.

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

10. TERMINATION

(i) Within 89 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall designate the first day of the 90-day liquidation period of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC which shall be specified in a notice from the Certificate Administrator to the Certificateholders as soon as practicable prior to such final Distribution Date, and shall specify such date in the final tax return of each such REMIC;

11.7. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or to commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

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

No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates aggregating not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates shall also have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have

-223-

neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder except as provided herein with respect to entitlement to payments or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

11.10. No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto.

Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution of any Certificateholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Certificate Administrator deems sufficient.

-224-

(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done, by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No Person other than a party to this Agreement, the Initial Purchasers and any Certificateholder shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder.

The Certificate Administrator hereby accepts its appointment as Authenticating Agent, Certificate Registrar and Custodian and agrees to perform the obligations required to be performed by it in each such capacity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

11.14. Xxxxxx Act. Any provisions required to be contained in this Agreement by Section 126 and/or Section 130-k or Article 4-A of the New York Real Property Law are hereby incorporated herein, and such provisions shall be in addition to those conferred or imposed by this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that such Section 126 and/or 130-k shall not have any effect, and if said Section 126 and/or Section 130-k should at any time be repealed or cease to apply to this Agreement or be construed by judicial decision to be inapplicable, said Section 126 and/or Section 130-k shall cease to have any further effect upon the provisions of this Agreement. In a case of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any mandatory provisions of Article 4-A of the New York Real Property Law, such mandatory provisions of said Article 4-A shall prevail, provided that if said Article 4-A shall not apply to this Agreement, should at any time be repealed, or cease to apply to this Agreement or be construed by judicial decision to be inapplicable, such mandatory provisions of such Article 4-A shall cease to have any further effect upon the provisions of this Agreement.

-225-

11.15. Assumption by Trust of Duties and Obligations of the Lenders Under the Loan Documents. The Trustee and Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trust as assignee of the Trust Loan and the Servicer and Special Servicer hereby acknowledge that the Trust assumes all of the rights and obligations of the Lenders as lenders under the Loan Documents and agrees to be bound thereby, and in accordance with the terms thereof. Such acknowledgement on behalf of the Trust is made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it and is intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as creating any liability on the part of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Servicer or Special Servicer, individually or personally, it being agreed that all liabilities and obligations being acknowledged as assumed are solely those of the Trust, and under no circumstances shall the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Servicer or Special Servicer be liable personally for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any related document.

12. REMIC ADMINISTRATION

12.1. REMIC Administration. (a) The parties intend that each of 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 it as, a REMIC, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention.

(b) The Certificate Administrator shall make or cause to be made an election on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to treat the segregated pool of assets constituting such Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the Code. Each such election shall be made on IRS Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued.

(c) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The “latest possible maturity date” of the Regular Interests and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests for the purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

(d) The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed with the IRS, on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 or obtain such number by other permissible means. Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Persons that Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and 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

-226-

of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing).

(e) The Certificate Administrator shall pay without any right of reimbursement the ordinary and usual expenses in connection with the preparation, filing and mailing of tax information reports and returns that are incurred by it in the ordinary course of its business, but extraordinary or unusual expenses, costs or liabilities incurred in connection with its tax-related duties under this Agreement, including without limitation any expenses, costs or liabilities associated with audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC that involve the IRS or state tax authorities, shall be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

(f) The Certificate Administrator shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, timely furnish or cause to be timely furnished to the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign), and the Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed all federal, state and local income or franchise or other tax and information returns for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as the direct representative for such REMIC. Except as provided in Section 11.1(e), the expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator. The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession, and is reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection (f), and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such information in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(g) The Certificate Administrator shall perform on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (i) to the IRS or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the transferor of a Class R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or to an agent that has acquired a Class R Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis (and in no event later than 30 days after the Certificate Administrator’s request) to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession and is reasonably requested in writing by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection (g).

(h) The Holder of the Class R Certificates holding the largest Percentage Interest therein shall be the “tax matters person”, in the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs) of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. The duties of the “tax matters person” and “partnership representative” for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC are hereby

-227-

delegated to the Certificate Administrator as agent for the related “tax matters person” and “partnership representative”, and the Holders of the Class R Certificates, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor Holders of such Class R Certificates, to such delegation to the Certificate Administrator as its agent and attorney in fact.

(i) The Certificate Administrator, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall perform their obligations under this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in a manner consistent with the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.

(j) The Certificate Administrator, any Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any action or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, within their respective control and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement that, under the REMIC Provisions, could reasonably be expected to (i) cause of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) unless permitted under Section 12.2(a), result in the imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (any such result in clause (i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless (A) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) with respect to such action or (B) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received an opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that such action will not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and that no tax will actually be imposed.

(k) Any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or its assets or transactions, including, without limitation, “prohibited transaction” taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, and any tax on contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, shall be paid from the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer, upon two (2) days prior written notice, shall remit from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of any such tax that the Certificate Administrator notifies the Servicer is due; provided, further, that if such taxes shall have been imposed on account of the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of any party hereto, or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by any party hereto in this Agreement, then such taxes shall be paid by such party.

(l) The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Whole Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Whole Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest. The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the investments of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to show that such REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.

-228-

(m) None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(n) In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator within 10 days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Whole Loan. Thereafter, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Certificate Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Certificate Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 12.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.

The Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it shall be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.1) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.

(o) 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 REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by either 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. Holders of a Class R Certificates, by acquiring such Certificates, agree to any such elections.

-229-

12.2. Foreclosed Property. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire the Property as Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate the Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property is currently owned and operated by the Borrower, through a Successor Manager, some portion or all of the income derived in the Lower-Tier REMIC from such Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at the highest corporate income tax rate.

In determining whether to acquire and hold any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire any such Foreclosed Property if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after, consultation with counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund), that either (i) there is a commercially feasible alternative method of administering such Foreclosed Property that would not result in such tax, e.g., a net lease that results in Rents from Real Property or (ii) the likely recovery with respect to operating the Foreclosed Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, after taking into account any such taxes that might be imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, will exceed the likely recovery to the Trust Fund if the Trust Fund were to net lease the Foreclosed Property or were not to acquire and hold the Foreclosed Property. If the Trust Fund acquires any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, if the property manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the management agreement (if any) or replace the property manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such management agreement) so that the Foreclosed Property would be considered to be operated by an Independent Contractor. If, after making the foregoing reasonable efforts, the Special Servicer determines that it is in the best interests of Certificateholders on a net after-tax basis to operate the Foreclosed Property in a manner such that the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC shall receive, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, “net income from foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records of income and expense as to enable such amounts to be computed accurately, and shall pay or retain or cause to be paid or retained from Foreclosure Proceeds such amounts as are necessary to pay such tax or, to the extent such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(x).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not, to the extent within its power:

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

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

(iii) authorize or permit any construction on the Foreclosed Property, other than 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 improvements was

-230-

completed before default on the Whole Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv) Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, or allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through the property manager or an Independent Contractor, the Foreclosed Property on any date more than 90 days after its acquisition date.

(b) The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value in accordance with Section 3.15. In any event, however, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) an extension of time (an “Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of the Foreclosed Property for an additional specified period will neither result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code, nor cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell the Foreclosed Property for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the Foreclosed Property within the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the above-referenced period or the Extended Period, as the case may be, auction the Foreclosed Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(c) Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a statement of accounting for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator and/or Trustee may reasonably request.

12.3. Prohibited Transactions and Activities. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, shall not permit the sale or disposition of the Whole Loan at a time when the Whole Loan is not the subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Lower-Tier REMIC

-231-

or (ii) the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC in a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code), nor acquire any assets for either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than Foreclosed Property), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain, nor receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services not contemplated herein, nor accept any contributions to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the three-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting it to take such action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC, or of the Certificates as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Regular Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), or (d) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

12.4. Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than (i) the obligation to make certain payments to the Companion Loan Holders, (ii) the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and (iii) the indemnification obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 10 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii) the liquidation of the Trust Loan or the liquidation or abandonment of the Property and all other Collateral for the Whole Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.

THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS A “RESIDUAL INTEREST” IN TWO “REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE INVESTMENT CONDUITS” AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED, RESPECTIVELY, IN SECTIONS 860G(a)(2) AND 860D OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. EACH TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IS DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THIS CERTIFICATE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY TO DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATIONS, DISQUALIFIED NON-U.S. PERSONS OR AGENTS OF EITHER, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.3 OF THE TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN AFFIDAVIT TO THE TRANSFEROR AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE EFFECT THAT, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (A) IT IS NOT A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN CODE SECTION 860E(e)(5), OR AN AGENT (INCLUDING A BROKER, NOMINEE OR OTHER MIDDLEMAN) FOR SUCH DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND IS OTHERWISE A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE, (B) IT HAS HISTORICALLY PAID ITS DEBTS AS THEY HAVE COME DUE AND INTENDS TO PAY ITS DEBTS AS THEY COME DUE IN THE FUTURE, (C) IT UNDERSTANDS THAT IT MAY INCUR TAX LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE IN EXCESS OF CASH FLOWS GENERATED HEREBY, (D) IT INTENDS TO PAY ANY TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE AS THEY BECOME DUE, (E) IT WILL NOT CAUSE INCOME WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO A FOREIGN PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT OR FIXED BASE, WITHIN THE MEANING OF AN APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY, OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER U.S. PERSON AND (F) IT WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS CERTIFICATE TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE A SIMILAR AFFIDAVIT. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR OTHER PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY NULL AND VOID AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY PURPORTED TRANSFEREE. BECAUSE THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS MULTIPLE “NON-ECONOMIC RESIDUAL INTERESTS”, AS DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.860E-1(c), TRANSFERS OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE DISREGARDED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. IN ORDER TO SATISFY A REGULATORY SAFE HARBOR UNDER

TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF PORTIONS OF THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS AS PROVIDED IN THE TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO BELOW.

ANY HOLDER DESIRING TO EFFECT A TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL, AND DOES HEREBY AGREE TO, INDEMNIFY THE CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR, THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR, THE TRUSTEE, THE SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR AGAINST ANY LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE THAT MAY RESULT IF THE TRANSFER IS NOT EXEMPT FROM THE 1933 ACT OR IS NOT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS.

Exhibit A-9-3

This Class R Certificate represents the sole “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the “tax matters person” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (to the extent such provision is applicable to such Trust REMIC) for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby irrevocably designated and shall serve as attorney-in-fact and agent for any such Person that is the “tax matters person” and/or “partnership representative” for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs or, if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such date. 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 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.

Exhibit A-9-4

Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the written consent of the holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Holder of an RR Interest) evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class and any Companion Loan Holder if materially and adversely affected, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Certificates; provided, however, that certain specified amendments require the consent of the holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes adversely affected thereby and the consent of any affected Companion Loan Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Loan Seller under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Loan Seller, the rights of any Initial Purchaser under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser, or that adversely affects the rights and/or obligations, if any, of a Companion Loan Holder under the Trust and Servicing Agreement without the consent of such Companion Loan Holder, and the Certificate Administrator or Trustee may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Certificate Administrator or Trustee under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the requesting party, if applicable, and otherwise or if at the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s request, then at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in the imposition of any tax on any portion of the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the Code.

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

Exhibit L-1

- disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

- solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5),post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and

- use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.

Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

Obligation to Return Evaluation Material. Promptly upon written request by or on behalf of the relevant Furnishing Entity, all material or documents, including copies thereof, that contain Evaluation Material will be destroyed or, in your sole discretion, returned to the relevant Furnishing Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement.

Exhibit L-2

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

Governing Law. This Confidentiality Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under the Confidentiality Agreement, the relationships of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

Amendments. This Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.

Entire Agreement. This Confidentiality Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and the Furnishing Entities relating to the treatment of Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter reviewed or inspected by you. This agreement supersedes all other understandings and agreements between us relating to such matters; provided, however, that, if the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with another agreement relating to the Confidential Information that specifically states that the terms of such agreement shall supersede, modify or amend the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, then to the extent the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with such agreement, the terms of such agreement shall control notwithstanding acceptance by you of the terms hereof by entry into this website.

The Purchaser is acquiring $[_____] Certificate Balance of the Class [__] Certificates evidencing the RR Interest from [_____] (the “Transferor”).

The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Certificate evidencing the RR Interest by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, a certificate in substantially the same form as this certificate. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such certificate is false.

The Purchaser will be bound by the Credit Risk Retention Agreement, by and between Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC and Natixis Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, dated and effective as of May 9, 2018 (the “Credit Risk Retention Agreement”) as if it were party to such agreement.

The Purchaser hereby makes each representation set forth in Section 4 of the Credit Risk Retention Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. The Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees with respect to the Whole Loan as to which __________________ is the applicable Master Servicer (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws.

3. The Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.17 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.

4. Neither the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Excess Servicing Fee Right pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

5. The Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Excess Servicing Fee Right and any payments thereon, (c) the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and servicing of the Whole Loan, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.

7. The Transferee agrees (i) to keep all information relating to the Trust, the Trust Fund and the parties to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and made available to it, confidential, (ii) not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a

Exhibit M-7-2

violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act, and (iii) not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such holder’s auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, court order or other legal requirement or to the extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such holder or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such holder; provided, however, that such holder may provide all or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an acquisition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such Person (x) confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such Persons’ auditors, legal counsel and regulators.
