In no event shall any sub-servicing agreement give a sub-servicer direct rights against the assets of the Issuer.

Section 3.02 Escrow Accounts; Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items. (a) Subject to and as required by the terms of the related Loan Documents, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited promptly after receipt and identification. Escrow Accounts shall be denominated “Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the GPMT 2021-FL4 Notes, the other Secured Parties and the related Companion Participation Holders”. The Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee in writing of the location and account number of each Escrow Account it establishes and shall notify the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee promptly after any change thereof. Except as provided herein (including without limitation, the withdrawals described in the following sentence, which may be made without Issuer, Special Servicer or Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) consent), withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only following notice to, and consent of, the Special Servicer subject to the consent and consultation provisions set forth in Section 3.23. Subject to any express provisions to the contrary herein, to applicable laws, and to the terms of the related Loan Documents governing the use of the Escrow Payments, withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may only be made: (i) to effect payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums; (ii) to effect payment of ground rents and other items required or permitted to be paid from escrow; (iii) to refund to the related Obligors any sums determined to be in excess of the amounts required to be deposited therein; (iv) to pay interest, if required under the Loan Documents, to the Obligors on balances in the Escrow Accounts; (v) to pay to the Servicer from time to time any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.04; (vi) to apply funds to the indebtedness of the Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan in accordance with the terms thereof; (vii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager or the Advancing Agent, as the case may be, for any Servicing Advance or Servicing Expense, as the case may be, for which Escrow Payments should have been made by the Obligors, but only from amounts received on the Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Escrow Accounts which was not required to be deposited therein; or (ix) to clear and terminate the Escrow Accounts at the termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto as well as the payment of ground rents with respect to each ground lease (to the extent such information is reasonably available). To the extent that the related Loan Documents require Escrow Payments to be made by an Obligor under a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items, and shall effect payment prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments paid by such Obligor under a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and deposited in the related Escrow Account by the Servicer. To the extent that the Loan Documents do not require an Obligor under a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan to make Escrow Payments (and no other loan secured by the Mortgaged Property requires escrows or reserves for such amounts), the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require that any tax, insurance or other payment referenced in the definition of Escrow Payment be made by such Obligors prior to the applicable penalty or termination date (to the extent that the holder of the related Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan has the right to so require). Subject to Section 3.05 with respect to the payment of insurance premiums, if an Obligor under a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan fails to make payment on a timely basis or collections from such Obligor are insufficient to pay any such item when due and the holder of the related Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan has the right to pay such premiums on behalf of such Obligor pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents, the amount of any shortfall shall be paid by the Advancing Agent, subject to Section 5.02, as a Servicing Advance.

Any such request referred to above (a) shall be delivered no more than once in each Due Period and only during the Reinvestment Period and (b) shall specify the requested date of remittance and amount of the Principal Proceeds to be remitted. The Servicer shall not be required to make any determination with respect to, or verification of, the delivery or sufficiency of any certification of the Collateral Manager required by Section 11.1(a)(ii) of the Indenture.

(c) With respect to each Participated Loan that is a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, the Servicer shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account (or a sub-account of an Eligible Account) (the “Participated Loan Collection Account”) for the benefit of the Issuer for the purposes set forth herein. The Participated Loan Collection Account may be a sub-account of a single account, including of the Collection Account. The Participated Loan Collection Account shall be denominated “Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the GPMT 2021-FL4 Notes, other Secured Parties and the Companion Participation Holders, Participated Loan Collection Account.” The Servicer shall deposit in the Participated Loan Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds, all payments and collections received by it with respect to the Participated Loans that are Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loans and any related REO Property.

Section 3.04 Eligible Investments. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in one or more Eligible Investments; provided, however, that (a) any amounts held in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account that are invested shall be (x) invested only in short-term Eligible Investments and (y) sold or have stated maturities no later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Remittance Date, and (b) in all cases, such funds shall be either (i) immediately available or (ii) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer to meet its payment obligations hereunder. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Accounts that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, maintains as Additional Servicing Compensation or Additional Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deposit from its own funds in the applicable Account that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, maintains the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss; provided, that neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account in the month in which the loss occurred and at the time such investment was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not (other than in the case of sub-clause (2) below) direct the investment of funds held in any Escrow Account and shall not retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the related Loan Documents or applicable law permit the Obligor to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein. In such event, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct the depository institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein (1) in accordance with the Obligor’s written investment instructions, if the Loan Documents or applicable law require such funds to be invested in accordance with the Obligor’s direction; and (2) in accordance with the written investment instructions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest such funds in a Eligible Investment, if the Loan Documents and applicable law do not permit the related Obligor to direct the investment of such funds; provided, however, that in either event (i) such funds shall be either (y) immediately available or (z) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established, (ii) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to such written instructions, (iii) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will not be responsible for paying interest to any Obligor at a rate in excess of a reasonable and customary rate earned on similar accounts and (iv) in the absence of written investment instructions, the Servicer may (without obligation) maintain the funds in an interest-bearing Eligible Account.

Section 3.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. (a) The Special Servicer (only with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) or the Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Obligor of each Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan to maintain for each such Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan such insurance as is required to be maintained pursuant to the related Loan Documents. If the related Obligor fails to maintain such insurance, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer of such breach, and shall, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates and that the Issuer has an insurable interest, cause such insurance to be maintained. To the extent provided in the applicable Loan Documents, all such policies shall contain standard mortgagee clauses (if applicable) with loss payable to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Issuer, and shall be in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause. The costs of maintaining the Insurance Policies which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is required to maintain pursuant to this Section shall be a Servicing Expense or, if the amount in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account is insufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance.

-38-

(b) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may fulfill its obligation to maintain insurance, as provided in Section 3.05(a), through a master force placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Expense or, if the amount in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account is insufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance; provided that such cost is limited to the incremental cost of such policy allocable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not such Mortgaged Property or REO Property is then covered thereby, which shall be paid by the Advancing Agent at the direction of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be). Such master force placed insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Advancing Agent, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the related Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master force placed insurance policy because of such deductible to the extent that such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation required under the related Loan Documents, or, in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(c) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect, or be covered by, throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering losses that may be sustained by the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, directors, officers and employees, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The form and amount of coverage shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, if and for so long as it is acting as the Special Servicer, coverage in the amount of $10,000,000 that otherwise meets the requirements described in this paragraph will be deemed acceptable. 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. Any fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy required under this Section 3.05(c) shall be obtained from a Qualified Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the unsecured obligations or deposits of the Servicer or Special Servicer (or their respective corporate parent), as applicable, have been rated at least “A3” by Xxxxx’x and “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to provide self-insurance directly or through its parent (so long as such parent is obligated to pay the related claims), as applicable, with respect to its obligation to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy.

No provision of this Section requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, upon request, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect.

-39-

Section 3.06 Delivery and Possession of Servicing Files. On or before the applicable Servicing Transfer Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer (i) a Servicing File with respect to each Commercial Real Estate Loan; (ii) the amounts, if any, received by the Issuer representing Escrow Payments previously made by the Obligors; and (iii) if such Servicing Transfer Date is not the Closing Date, the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument including the related amount of Retained Interest, if any. The Servicer shall promptly acknowledge receipt of the Servicing File and Escrow Payments and shall promptly deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts established pursuant to this Agreement. The contents of each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest. The Servicer’s possession of the contents of each Servicing File so delivered shall be for the sole purpose of servicing the related Commercial Real Estate Loan and such possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer), and upon written request of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer), the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, or its nominee, the Servicing File or a copy of any document contained therein in accordance with such written requests; provided, however, that if the Servicer is unable to perform its Servicing obligations with respect to the related Commercial Real Estate Loan as a result of any such release or delivery of the Servicing File, then the Servicer shall not be liable, while the related Servicing File is not in the Servicer’s possession, for any failure to perform any obligation hereunder with respect to the related Commercial Real Estate Loan.

Section 3.07 Inspections; Financial Statements. (a) With respect to each Performing Loan, the Servicer shall perform, or cause to be performed, a physical inspection of the related Mortgaged Property (i) with respect to any related Commercial Real Estate Loan with a stated principal balance greater than or equal to $2,000,000, at least once every twelve (12) months, and (ii) with respect to any related Commercial Real Estate Loan with a stated principal balance less than $2,000,000, at least once every 24 months, in each case, beginning in 2022 (and each related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2023), and, in addition, if at any time (A) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) requests such an inspection, or (B) the Servicer, with the approval of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer), determines that it is prudent to conduct such an inspection. The Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection and shall promptly deliver a copy of such report to the Issuer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer and a reasonable fee due the Servicer in connection with any such inspections (including any out-of-pocket expenses related to travel and lodging and any charges incurred through the use of a qualified third party to perform such services) shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance; provided, however, that with respect to the annual inspection of any such Mortgaged Property, no additional fee shall be due and such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer.

(b) With respect to a Specially Serviced Loan that is secured directly or indirectly by real property and with respect to REO Property related to a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, the Special Servicer shall perform a physical inspection of each such Mortgaged Property (i) as soon as possible after a Special Servicing Transfer Event and thereafter at least annually, and, in addition (ii) if at any time (x) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) requests such an inspection, or (y) the Special Servicer, determines that it is prudent to conduct such an inspection. The Special Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection and shall promptly deliver a copy of such report to the Issuer, the Servicer, and the Collateral Manager. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Special Servicer and a reasonable fee due the Special Servicer in connection with any such inspections (including any out-of-pocket expenses related to travel and lodging and any charges incurred through the use of a qualified third party to perform such services) shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance.

Section 3.08 Exercise of Remedies upon Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan Defaults. Upon the failure of any Obligor under a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan to make any required payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under such Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, or otherwise to perform fully any material obligations under any of the related Loan Documents, in either case within any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall, upon discovery of such failure, promptly notify the Special Servicer, the Advancing Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Issuer in writing. As directed in writing by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) in each instance, the Special Servicer shall issue notices of default, declare events of default, declare due the entire outstanding principal balance, and otherwise take all reasonable actions consistent with the Servicing Standard under the related Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan in preparation for the Special Servicer to realize upon the related Underlying Note.

Section 3.09 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Due-On-Encumbrance Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.

(i) provides that such Commercial Real Estate Loan will (or may at the lender’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or ownership interests in the Obligor,

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

(iii) provides that such Commercial Real Estate Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the lender, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, subject to the terms of Sections 3.09(d), 3.22 and Section 3.23 hereof, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall take such action as directed by the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) pursuant to Section 2.03(c); provided that the Special Servicer shall not waive, without first satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, any “due-on-sale” clause under any Commercial Real Estate Loan for which the related Collateral Interest (A) represents 5% or more of the principal balance of all the Collateral Interests owned by the Issuer, (B) has a principal balance of over $35,000,000 or (C) is one of the 10 largest Collateral Interests (based on principal balance) owned by the Issuer; provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to enforce any such due-on-sale clauses and in connection therewith shall not be required to (x) accelerate the payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to such an assumption if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (1) that such provision is not enforceable under applicable law or the enforcement of such provision is reasonably likely to result in meritorious legal action by the related Obligor or (2) that granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, on a present value basis (discounting at the related mortgage rate), than would enforcement of such clause.

-41-

If, notwithstanding any directions to the contrary from the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation), the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that (A) granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, (B) such provision is not legally enforceable, or (C) that the conditions described in clause (iii) above relating to the assumption or transfer of the Commercial Real Estate Loan have been satisfied, the Special Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom the related Commercial Real Estate Loan has been or is about to be conveyed, and to release the original Obligor from liability upon the Commercial Real Estate Loan and substitute the new Obligor as obligor thereon, provided that the credit status of the prospective new Obligor is in compliance with the Servicing Standard and criteria and the terms of the related Loan Documents. In connection with each such assumption or substitution entered into by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall give prior notice thereof to the Servicer and the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation). The Special Servicer shall notify the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) and the Servicer that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian (with a copy to the Custodian, Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) and Servicer) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the related Collateral Interest File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Collateral Interest File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, the Special Servicer shall not approve an assumption or substitution without requiring the related Obligor to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such assumption or substitution. However, in the event that the related Obligor is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be treated as a Servicing Expense. The Special Servicer shall provide copies of any waivers of any due-on-sale clause to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Website.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 2.03(c) hereof, if any Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the related Obligor or the related Mortgaged Property), which by its terms:

(i) provides that such Commercial Real Estate Loan shall (or may at the lender’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or Pledged Equity,

(ii) requires the consent of the related lender to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or underlying Real Property, or

(iii) provides that such Mortgaged Property or Pledged Equity may be further encumbered without the consent of the lender, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, subject to the terms of Sections 3.09(d), 3.22 and Section 3.23 hereof, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall take such action as directed by the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) pursuant to Section 2.03(c); provided that, the Special Servicer shall not waive, without first satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, any “due-on-encumbrance” clause (which the Special Servicer shall interpret, if the related Loan Documents allow such interpretation, to include requests for approval of mezzanine financing or preferred equity) with regard to any Commercial Real Estate Loan for which the related Collateral Interest (A) represents 2.0% or more of the principal balance of all the Collateral Interests owned by the Issuer, (B) has a principal balance of over $20,000,000, (C) is one of the 10 largest Collateral Interests (based on principal balance) owned by the Issuer, (D) has an aggregate loan-to-value ratio (including existing and proposed additional debt) that is equal to or greater than 85%, or (E) has an aggregate debt service coverage ratio (including the debt service on the existing and proposed additional debt) that is less than 1.2x to 1.0x; and (subject to the rights, if any, exercisable by the Trustee); provided, further that, the Special Servicer shall not be required to enforce any such due-on-encumbrance clauses and in connection therewith shall not be required to (x) accelerate the payments thereon or (y) withhold its consent to such encumbrance if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (1) that such provision is not enforceable under applicable law or the enforcement of such provision is reasonably likely to result in meritorious legal action by the Obligor or (2) that granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, on a present value basis (discounting at the related interest rate), than would enforcement of such clause.

-42-

(c) Both the Servicer (in the case of a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer may communicate directly with the Obligors in connection with any Other Borrower Request or Major Decision, or any Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification. If the Servicer receives any request for any assumption, transfer, further encumbrance or other action contemplated by this Section 3.09 with respect to a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer for analysis and processing and the Servicer shall have no further liability or duty with respect thereto. If the Special Servicer receives any such request from an Obligor (or from the Servicer) other than in connection with an Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification, the Special Servicer shall analyze and process the request, subject to approval by the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) with respect to any Major Decision. Once the Special Servicer has approved the related Other Borrower Request or Major Decision and with respect to a Major Decision, any other required approval has been obtained, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer of such recommendation and when the related transaction closes the Special Servicer shall promptly provide the Servicer with the information necessary for the Servicer to update its records to reflect the terms of the transaction.

(d) In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Commercial Real Estate Loan, other than pursuant to Section 3.15 hereof.

Section 3.10 Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Collateral Interests. (a) Following (i) any acquisition by the Special Servicer of an REO Property on behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest, or (ii) an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer thereof, and, upon delivery of such notice, the Special Servicer shall (x) promptly, in the case of an acquisition of REO Property and (y) within sixty (60) days, in the case of an Appraisal Reduction Event, use reasonable efforts to request an Updated Appraisal or a letter update for an existing Appraisal if such existing Appraisal is less than two (2) years old, in order to determine the fair market value of such REO Property or Mortgaged Property, as applicable, and shall notify the Issuer, the Servicer and the Collateral Manager of the results of such Appraisal. Any such Appraisal shall be conducted by an Appraiser and the cost thereof shall be a Servicing Advance. The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Appraisal or a letter update every twelve (12) months thereafter for so long as such Commercial Real Estate Loan is subject to an Appraisal Reduction Event or until the REO Property is sold, as applicable.

-43-

(b) The Special Servicer, in its capacity as special servicer, shall monitor each Specially Serviced Loan, evaluate whether the causes of the default can be corrected over a reasonable period without significant impairment of the value of the Commercial Real Estate Loan and, subject to the rights of the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) pursuant to Section 3.23 hereof, initiate corrective action in cooperation with the Obligor if, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, cure is likely, and take such other actions (including without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of a Commercial Real Estate Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and the Specially Serviced Loan has not been released from the Issuer pursuant to any provision hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.09(a) and 3.09(b), the Special Servicer may, to the extent consistent with an Asset Status Report and with the Servicing Standard and, subject to the rights of the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) pursuant to Section 3.23 hereof, accelerate such Specially Serviced Loan and commence a foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the related Commercial Real Estate Loan, provided that the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to the Relevant Parties in Interest on a present value basis (discounting at the discount rate) than would a waiver of such default or an extension or modification. The Special Servicer shall notify the Advancing Agent of the need to advance the costs and expenses of any such proceedings. With respect to any Combined Loan, in lieu of exercising the rights of the lender under the related Mortgage Loan to foreclose on the related Mortgaged Property, subject to the rights of the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) pursuant to Section 3.23 hereof, the Special Servicer may determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to exercising the rights of the lender under the related Mezzanine Loan to foreclose on the equity in the Obligor under the related Mortgage Loan.

(c) If the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure or other similar proceeding related to personal property in accordance with the laws of the state where a Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Obligor or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or other similar proceeding related to personal property or if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation).

(d) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the related Commercial Real Estate Loan shall be considered to be an REO Loan until such time as the Issuer’s interest in the related REO Property is sold and the REO Loan shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses (which with respect to any Commercial Real Estate Loan, shall be allocated in accordance with the related Participation Agreement). Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such Commercial Real Estate Loan, as applicable, shall be considered to be an outstanding Commercial Real Estate Loan, as applicable:

(i) it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the related Underlying Note shall have been discharged, such Underlying Note and, for purposes of determining the stated principal balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title shall remain in effect; and

-44-

(ii) net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to amounts that would have been payable under the related Underlying Note(s) in accordance with the terms of such Underlying Note(s). In the absence of such terms, net REO Proceeds shall be deemed to have been received first, in reimbursement of Servicing Advances related to such Commercial Real Estate Loan; second, in payment of Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees related to such Commercial Real Estate Loan; third, in payment of the unpaid accrued interest on such Commercial Real Estate Loan; fourth, in payment of outstanding principal of such Commercial Real Estate Loan; and thereafter, net proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the payment of installments of principal and accrued interest deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Underlying Note(s) or related Loan Documents, net of any withholding taxes, and such amortization schedule until such principal has been paid in full and then to other amounts due under such Commercial Real Estate Loan; provided that, with respect to any Participated Loan, REO Proceeds shall be allocated in accordance with the related Participation Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest, obtain title to any Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect equity interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of the related Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Issuer, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent environmental consultant who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:

(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Issuer to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, and

(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Issuer to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

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

-45-

(f) The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) shall be prepared within three (3) months (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the determination that such assessment is required by an Independent environmental consultant who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Commercial Real Estate Loan is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall request (with a copy to the Servicer) that the Advancing Agent to advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments.

(g) The Special Servicer shall take such action with respect to a Mortgaged Property that is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws as is directed by the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation); provided, however, that subject to the terms of Section 3.22 and Section 3.23 hereof and the Servicing Standard, if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) that any Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Issuer to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(ii) that the circumstances referred to therein relating to hazardous materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Issuer to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Issuer, but only if the Issuer (or the Note Administrator) has mailed notice to the Noteholders of such proposed action, which notice shall be prepared by the Special Servicer, and only if the Issuer (or the Note Administrator) does not receive, within thirty (30) days of such notification, instructions from the Noteholders entitled to a majority of the voting rights directing the Special Servicer not to take such action. The Special Servicer may rely on any representation by the Issuer to the effect that the notices referred to in the preceding sentence were sent to Noteholders and that instructions were not received from Noteholders entitled to a majority of the voting rights directing the Special Servicer not to take such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer reasonably determines that it is likely that within such thirty (30)-day period irreparable environmental harm to such Mortgaged Property would result from the presence of such hazardous materials and provides a prior written statement to the Issuer setting forth the basis for such determination, then the Special Servicer may take such action to remedy such condition as may be consistent with the Servicing Standard. Neither the Issuer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to take any action or not take any action pursuant to this Section 3.10(g) at the direction of the Noteholders or the related Companion Participation Holder, unless the Noteholders or such Companion Participation Holder agree to indemnify the Issuer and the Special Servicer with respect to such action or inaction. The Special Servicer shall notify the Advancing Agent of the need to advance the costs of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation as a Servicing Advance.

(h) The Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer of any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed that requires reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any such Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or foreclosed, and the Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Obligor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information, and the Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Collateral Manager.

(i) The costs of any Updated Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.10 or obtained in connection with a Criteria-Based Modification shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance.

-46-

(a) On or before April 30 of each year, beginning with April 30, 2022, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, each at its own expense, shall cause a registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Servicer) that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the 17g-5 Information Provider, regarding the Servicer’s compliance during the prior calendar year with (a) the applicable servicing criteria in Item 1122 of Regulation AB set forth on Exhibit B hereto or (b) the minimum servicing standards identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers.

Section 3.13 Title and Management of REO Properties and REO Accounts. (a) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired on behalf of the Relevant Parties in Interest in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (x) in the name of a U.S. corporation (or a limited liability company treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) wholly owned by the Issuer or (y) in such manner as is required pursuant to the terms of any related Participation Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Relevant Parties in Interest, shall dispose of any REO Property as soon after acquiring it as is practicable and feasible in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and as so advised by GPMT in accordance with the REIT Provisions. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Relevant Parties in Interest solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.

(b) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the Servicing Standard, the terms of Section 3.22 and Section 3.23 hereof, and the other specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Relevant Parties in Interest and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall agree to the payment of property management fees that are consistent with general market standards. The Special Servicer shall request the Advancing Agent to pay such fees as a Servicing Advance.

(c) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (a “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as special servicer, for the benefit of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of GPMT 2021-FL4 Notes – REO Account” to be held for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Preferred Shareholders and the related Companion Participation Holder. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.04. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited REO Proceeds in the REO Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such REO Proceeds, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Servicing Advances with respect to such REO Property, including:

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

-47-

(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon and all U.S. federal, state and local income taxes payable by the owner of the REO Property; and

(iii) all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such REO Property.

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above (other than income taxes), the Special Servicer shall request the Advancing Agent to pay such amounts as Servicing Advances. The Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Servicer (i) for deposit into the Collection Account and (ii) for transfer to the servicer of the Companion Participation in accordance with the related Participation Agreement, on a monthly basis on or prior to the first Business Day following each Determination Date, the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property as of such Determination Date that are then on deposit in such REO Account, provided, however, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

Such agreement shall provide: (A) for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification; and (B) that the Independent Contractor’s fees be reasonable. The Special Servicer shall provide oversight and supervision with regard to the performance of all contracted services and any Independent Contractor agreement shall be consistent with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Neither the existence of any Independent Contractor agreement nor any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Independent Contractor shall relieve the Special Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer hereunder, including without limitation, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such REO Property in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(d) When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Servicer and the Issuer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, resulting from the REO Property. To perform its obligations hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain an Independent accountant or property manager on behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest to prepare such statements and the cost of which shall be paid by and reimbursed to the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge that for so long as the Issuer maintains its status as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, and unless otherwise directed by Sub-REIT (or any subsequent REIT), the Special Servicer intends to conduct its activities such that any REO Property will qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 856(e) of the Code with respect to Sub-REIT. In connection with the foregoing, and unless otherwise directed by GPMT (or any subsequent REIT), the Special Servicer shall not:

(i) enter into, renew or extend any New Lease, if such 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;

-48-

(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO 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 improvement was completed before default on the related Commercial Real Estate Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv) Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after the acquisition thereof unless such Person is an Independent Contractor.

With respect to a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, in the event that any related Loan Documents permit or require the related Obligor to deliver additional or substitute collateral in the form of cash (“Cash Collateral”) to the holder of such Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan and such Obligor deposits such Cash Collateral with the Servicer, the Servicer shall segregate and hold such Cash Collateral separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to such Cash Collateral a segregated custodial account, which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account, to be held for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest (each, a “Cash Collateral Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the GPMT 2021-FL4 Notes, other Secured Parties and the related Companion Participation Holder - Cash Collateral Account” or such other name as may be required pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents. The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited any such Cash Collateral in the Cash Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds such Cash Collateral, and shall hold and disburse such Cash Collateral in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents.

Section 3.15 Modification, Waiver, Amendment and Consents. (a) Subject to Section 3.23(b), all (i) modifications, waivers (other than waivers of late payment charges and default interest on Performing Loans, which will be processed by the Servicer) and consents with respect to the Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loans shall be processed by the Special Servicer and (ii) Administrative Modifications and Criteria-Based Modifications shall be administratively processed by the Special Servicer; provided that, the right and obligation to approve future fundings under any Future Funding Companion Participation shall be held by the related Companion Participation Holder. Both the Servicer and the Special Servicer may communicate directly with the Obligors in connection with any Other Borrower Request or Major Decision in connection with a Performing Loan. If the Servicer receives any request for such modification, waiver (other than waivers of late payment charges and default interest on Performing Loans) or consent with respect to a Performing Loan, the Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer for analysis (other than Administrative Modifications and Criteria-Based Modifications) and processing and the Servicer shall have no further liability or duty with respect thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 3.22 and Section 3.23 hereof and Section 10.10(f) of the Indenture, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive or defer interest on and principal of, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing any such Commercial Real Estate Loan (but with respect to substitution of collateral securing any Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition), convert or exchange a Commercial Real Estate Loan for any other type of consideration, and/or permit the release of the related Obligor on or any guarantor of any such Commercial Real Estate Loan and/or permit any change in the management company or franchise with respect to any such Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan without the consent of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, any Noteholder or any Companion Participation Holder (in each case, other than any consent that is required pursuant to Section 3.22), subject, however, (other than with respect to any Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification), to each of the following limitations, conditions and restrictions:

(i) the Special Servicer has determined that such modification, waiver or amendment is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the Relevant Parties in Interest on a present value basis than would liquidation, to the extent such calculation can be reasonably made with respect and is relevant to such modification, waiver or amendment in the Special Servicer’s reasonable discretion;

-49-

(ii) the Special Servicer shall not permit any Obligor to add or substitute any collateral for an outstanding Commercial Real Estate Loan, which collateral constitutes real property, unless the Special Servicer shall have first determined, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based upon a Phase I environmental assessment (and such additional environmental testing as the Special Servicer deems necessary and appropriate) prepared by an Independent environmental consultant who regularly conducts environmental assessments (and such additional environmental testing), at the expense of the related Obligor, that such new real property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that there are no circumstances or conditions present with respect to such new real property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would be required under any then-applicable environmental laws and regulations;

(iii) unless a release or substitution is permissible under the related Loan Document without the consent or approval of the lender, the Special Servicer shall not release or substitute any Mortgaged Property securing an outstanding Performing Loan except in the case of a release where (A) the loss of the use of the Mortgaged Property to be released will not, in the Special Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, materially and adversely affect the net operating income being generated by or the use of the related Mortgaged Property, (B) except in the case of the release of non-material parcels, there is a corresponding principal paydown of the related Commercial Real Estate Loan in an amount at least equal to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property to be released and (C) the remaining Mortgaged Property and any substitute mortgaged property is, in the Special Servicer’s good faith and reasonable judgment, adequate security for the related Commercial Real Estate Loan; and

(iv) the Special Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of a Commercial Real Estate Loan relating to maturity or contractual extension options unless, following such modification, waiver or amendment, the Weighted Average Life of the Collateral Interests, assuming the exercise of all contractual extension options (if any) that are exercisable by the borrower under each Collateral Interest, is less than or equal to the number of years (rounded to the nearest one hundredth thereof) during the period from such date of determination to 5.5 years from the Closing Date;

provided that notwithstanding clauses (i) through (iv) above, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to oppose the confirmation of a plan in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving an Obligor if in its reasonable and good faith judgment such opposition would not ultimately prevent the confirmation of such plan or one substantially similar.

(b) The Special Servicer shall not have any liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders, any Companion Participation Holder or any other Person if its analysis and determination that the modification, waiver, amendment or other action contemplated in Section 3.15(a) is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Preferred Shareholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Participation Holder on a net present value basis than would liquidation, should prove to be wrong or incorrect, so long as the analysis and determination were made on a reasonable basis in good faith and in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a net present value calculation may not be relevant to a particular modification, waiver, amendment or other action contemplated under this Section 3.15(b) and the absence of such calculation shall not create or infer any failure by the Special Servicer to meet the Servicing Standard or liability on the part of the Special Servicer.

-50-

(c) The Collateral Manager may, but shall not be required to, direct and require the Special Servicer to effect (and, upon such direction by the Collateral Manager, the Special Servicer shall administratively process) any Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification; provided, however that a Criteria-Based Modification is only permissible if the Criteria-Based Modification Conditions are satisfied immediately after giving effect to such Criteria-Based Modification, as determined by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Collateral Management Standard. No Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification shall constitute a Major Decision or be subject to consent and/or consultation rights under this Agreement.

(d) Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any modification, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes hereof (including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Noteholders, Preferred Shareholders and Companion Participation Holders), be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Commercial Real Estate Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Commercial Real Estate Loan or such modification, waiver or amendment so permit.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) All material modifications, waivers and amendments of any Commercial Real Estate Loan entered into pursuant to this Section 3.15 shall be in writing.

(g) The Special Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the related Companion Participation Holder and the 17g-5 Information Provider, in writing (and to the 17g-5 Information Provider by email, which email shall contain the information in the form of an electronic document suitable for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), of any modification, waiver, material consent or amendment of any term of any Commercial Real Estate Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee for deposit in the related Collateral Interest File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver, material consent or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof.

(h) The Special Servicer may (subject to the Servicing Standard), as a condition to granting any request by an Obligor for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents evidencing or securing the related Commercial Real Estate Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, (but including for avoidance of doubt, administratively processing of Criteria-Based Modifications and Administrative Modifications) require that such Obligor pay to it directly, to the extent consistent with applicable law and the Loan Documents, (i) a reasonable and customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request, and (ii) any related costs and expenses incurred by it.

(i) Any modification, waiver (other than waivers of late payment charges and default interest on a Performing Loan) or amendment of or consents or approvals relating to any Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan shall be performed by the Special Servicer and not the Servicer.

-51-

(j)            The Special Servicer shall provide notice of any Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification to the 17g-5 Information Provider by email, which email shall contain the information in the form of an electronic document suitable for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.

(k)           If the Collateral Manager determines that a Loan-Level Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to any Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, it shall (i) designate the Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the related Loan Documents, (ii) determine, in its sole discretion, if any Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary, (iii) direct the Special Servicer to administratively process an Administrative Modification to administratively process any necessary Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (for which the Special Servicer shall be entitled to Additional Special Servicing Compensation) and (iv) provide written notice of such Loan-Level Benchmark Transition Event and the related Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement to the Special Servicer. Upon receipt of written notice from the Collateral Manager to the Special Servicer of a Loan-Level Benchmark Transition Event and the related Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement, the Special Servicer shall process administratively the Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement and the Servicer shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, calculate the interest rate applicable to the related Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan. No Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change may be made to the extent it has a material adverse impact on the Servicer or Special Servicer (as determined by each in its sole discretion). For the avoidance of doubt, any cost or expense of the Servicer or the Special Servicer incurred in connection with any Loan-Level Benchmark Transition Event, Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement or Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will be a servicing expense (which may be paid directly from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account) if not paid by the related borrower. If the Servicer is not able to calculate the Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement, then the Collateral Manager shall provide, on a monthly basis, to the Servicer, the rate determined using such Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement. The Servicer shall have no (i) responsibility or liability for the selection of an alternative rate as a successor or replacement benchmark to LIBOR and shall be entitled to rely upon any designation of such a rate by the Collateral Manager and (ii) liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties under the Servicing Agreement as a result of the unavailability of a LIBOR rate as described in the definition thereof in the Indenture. The Servicer shall be entitled to rely upon the notices provided by the Designated Transaction Representative facilitating or specifying the Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and such other administrative procedures with respect to the calculation of any Benchmark Replacement and entitled to rely upon notices provided by the Special Servicer facilitating or specifying the Loan-Level Benchmark Replacement.]

(l)            Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein, the Special Servicer may take any action with respect to any Commercial Real Estate Loan requiring the consent, direction or approval of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation), the Note Administrator or the Trustee at any other time without such consent, direction or approval if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such action is required by the Servicing Standard in order to avoid a material adverse effect on the Relevant Parties in Interest or is in the nature of an emergency.

(m)          In connection with any servicing action where the related Obligor under a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan is required to obtain, or is otherwise obtaining, an interest rate cap agreement (other than an interest rate cap agreement in effect as of the Closing Date), the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Obligor to enter into such interest rate cap agreement with a financial institution having a long term unsecured and unsubordinated debt rating of at least “A1” by Xxxxx’x (or “Aa3” so long as such financial institution has a short term unsecured debt obligation or commercial paper rating of at least “P-1”).

-52-

(n)           With respect to any modification or amendment of a Combined Loan, the related Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan shall be treated as a single loan, and the effect of any such modification or amendment shall apply equally to such Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan.

(o)           With respect to any Collateral Interest or Commercial Real Estate Loan, notwithstanding the terms of any related Loan Documents, if the related Loan Documents require, as a condition precedent to taking any action, confirmation from a Rating Agency that such proposed action, or failure to act or other specified event will not, in and of itself, result in the downgrade or withdrawal of the then-current rating assigned to any Class of Notes then rated by such Rating Agency, or any similar requirement, then such action (other than in the case of any Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification), to the extent such condition has not already been waived by the Special Servicer, may be taken if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such Rating Agency.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Special Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan of which the Servicer has notice, the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, if such Special Servicing Transfer Event occurs due to the Special Servicer’s receipt of notice pursuant to clause (vii) or (viii) under the definition thereof) shall promptly give notice thereof to the Special Servicer (or Servicer, as applicable), the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Seller, the Collateral Manager, any related Companion Participation Holder and the Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File to the Special Servicer and use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Collateral Interest File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan in the Servicer’s possession and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a sub-servicer.

The Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, will not have any responsibility for performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, will not have any responsibility for the performance by the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. With respect to each such Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, the Servicer shall instruct the related Obligor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan to the Servicer. The Special Servicer shall remit to the Servicer any such payments received by its pursuant to the preceding sentence within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the related Obligor of a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Obligor.

(d)           Not later than two (2) Business Days preceding each date on which the Servicer is required to furnish reports under Section 4.01 to the Issuer and the Note Administrator, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer, with a copy to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, (i) the CREFC^® Special Servicer Loan File and (ii) such additional information relating to the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans as the Servicer or the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement. Such statement and information shall be furnished to the Servicer in writing and/or in such electronic media as is acceptable to the Servicer.

(e)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.16(f), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information in its possession reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(f)            Not later than sixty (60) days after a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Servicer, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, a holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation), any related Companion Participation Holder, the Note Administrator and the Trustee, a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Commercial Real Estate Loan.

(v)           the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status (including the modification of a monetary term, and any work-out, restructure or debt forgiveness) and returned to the Servicer for regular servicing or foreclosed or otherwise realized upon (including any proposed sale of a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property);

(vi)          a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property;

(vii)         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 events of default;

(viii)        a summary of any proposed actions 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 the basis on which Special Servicer made such determination; and

(ix)          such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, a holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) does not disapprove of such Asset Status Report in writing, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that such Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, this Agreement, the Servicing Standard (taking into consideration the best interests of the Relevant Parties in Interest) or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents. If the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, a holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) disapproves such Asset Status Report within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Issuer, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation), the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the Servicer a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after such disapproval.

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report, including, without limitation, a Final Asset Status Report, it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section, and in particular, shall modify and resubmit such Asset Status Report to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, a holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) if (i) the estimated sales proceeds, foreclosure proceeds, work-out or restructure terms or anticipated debt forgiveness varies materially from the estimates, terms or amounts on which the original report was based or (ii) the related Obligor becomes the subject of bankruptcy proceedings.

-55-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Commercial Real Estate Loan, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of the relevant approval period if the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Relevant Parties in Interest and it has made a reasonable effort to contact the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, a holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation). The Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any specific consent or approval right which the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) may have.

The Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Obligor for any Specially Serviced Loan and take such actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Asset Status Report.

No direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, a holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) shall (a) require, permit or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate the terms of any Commercial Real Estate Loan, the Servicing Standard, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement or (b) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Issuer’s or the Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

In the event that the Special Servicer determines that the Collateral Manager’s (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder’s of the related Controlling Companion Participation’s) alternative proposal is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, then the Special Servicer shall take such actions as proposed by the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation). In the event that the Special Servicer determines that the Collateral Manager’s (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation’s) alternative proposal is not in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or if the Collateral Manager (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation) fails to give notice of the actions to be taken within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Special Servicer shall not be bound the Collateral Manager’s (or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation’s) determination with respect to such action and shall take such action or refrain from taking such action, as applicable, as the Special Servicer determines is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. After a Major Decision or Other Borrower Request (other than waivers of late payment charges and default interest on Performing Loans) is approved, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer of such approval and when the related transaction closes the Special Servicer shall promptly provide the Servicer with the information necessary for the Servicer to update its records to reflect the terms of the transaction.

(d)           [Reserved].

(e)           Subject to Sections 3.23(i) and 3.23(j), the Special Servicer shall recognize the consent and consultation rights of any Companion Participation Holder in accordance with the applicable Participation Agreement.

(f)            Neither the Collateral Manager nor, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation, shall owe any fiduciary duty to the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Noteholder. Neither Collateral Manager nor, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation, shall have any duty or liability to any Noteholder for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or failure to give any consent in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or any such error in judgment.

(g)           The Note Administrator shall: (i) upon receipt of notice of any change in the Collateral Manager or upon request, provide the name of the Collateral Manager to the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer and (ii) with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, upon receipt of notice of any change in the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation or upon request, provide the name of such holder to the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer and the Special Servicer.

(h)           [Reserved].

(i)            For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (expect in connection with any Criteria-Based Modification or Administrative Modification), that any direction or refusal to consent by the Collateral Manager, any Companion Participation Holder, the Trustee or the Controlling Class, or any advice from the Collateral Manager, any Companion Participation Holder or the Trustee, would cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate applicable law, the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, or the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such direction or refusal to consent or advice, as the case may be, and notify the Collateral Manager, such Companion Participation Holder, the Trustee or the Controlling Class of its determination, along with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor.

(j)            To the extent that the Collateral Manager or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Participation has the right hereunder to give its consent or make a decision with respect to any servicing matter, in the event that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take such action without waiting for the Collateral Manager’s or, with respect to a Non-CLO Controlled Collateral Interest, the holder’s of the related Controlling Companion Participation response.

Section 3.25       Certain Matters Related to the Participated Loans. (a) Allocation of Servicing Advances, Servicing Expenses, and Indemnification Amounts. Any Servicing Advance, Servicing Expense or indemnification amount with respect to a Participated Loan shall be reimbursed, subject to the related Participation Agreement, on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on the outstanding principal balance thereof) from amounts allocable to each related Participation. To the extent that the Issuer bears more than its allocable share of Servicing Advances, Servicing Expenses or indemnification amounts with respect to any Participated Loan, the Servicer shall (i) promptly notify the related Companion Participation Holder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise on behalf of the Issuer any rights under the related Participation Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the related Companion Participation Holder for the portion of such amount allocable to such holder’s Companion Participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Servicing Advance, Servicing Expense or indemnification amount that the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment to only relate to the Transaction Participation and not to any related Companion Participation, shall not be allocated to such Companion Participation.

(b)           Participation Holder Register. With respect to each Companion Participation related to a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, the Servicer shall maintain the register of participants in accordance with the terms of each related Participation Agreement (each, a “Participation Holder Register”). The Servicer shall record on the applicable Participation Holder Register the names and contact information (including addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers) of the holders of the related Participations, the outstanding balances and/or Future Funding Amounts held by such holders and the wire transfer instructions for such holders, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Servicer by the applicable holder in accordance with the related Participation Agreement. The initial Participation Holder Register is set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto. The Servicer shall update each Participation Holder Register upon any transfer or reallocation in accordance with the terms of the related Participation Agreement or upon written notice from any holder of record on the Participation Holder Register with any change applicable to such holder (including name, contact information and wire transfer instructions). Each related Companion Participation Holder has agreed to inform the Servicer of its name, address, taxpayer identification number and wiring instructions (to the extent the foregoing information is not already contained in the related Participation Agreement) and of any transfer thereof (together with any instruments of transfer). Each related Companion Participation Holder is required pursuant to the terms of the related Participation Agreement to inform the Servicer of any future funding with respect to its Future Funding Companion Participation on the date such advance is made. Promptly upon receipt of notice from the Special Servicer of a reallocation in accordance with the related Participation Agreement, the Servicer shall reflect any such increase on the Participation Holder Register and shall provide a copy of such updated register to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the related Companion Participation Holder.

In no event shall the Servicer be obligated to pay any party the amounts payable to a Companion Participation Holder hereunder other than the Person listed as the applicable Companion Participation Holder on the applicable Participation Holder Register. In the event that a Companion Participation Holder transfers its Companion Participation without notice to the Servicer, the Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever for any misdirected payment on such Companion Participation and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

Each Participation Holder Register shall be made available by the Servicer to the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller and any related Companion Participation Holder upon request by any such Person. The Servicer shall promptly provide the names and addresses of any Companion Participation Holder to any party hereto, any related Companion Participation Holder or any successor thereto upon written request, and any such party or successor may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names and addresses.

(c)           Payments to Companion Participation Holders. With respect to each Companion Participation related to a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan, any amounts payable to the related Companion Participation Holder shall be transferred to the servicer of the Companion Participation (as specified in a written notice from Companion Participation Holder to the Servicer) in accordance with the related Participation Agreement within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds.

In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following considerations shall apply with respect to the servicing of a Participated Loan that is a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan:

(i)            none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Advancing Agent shall make any Interest Advance with respect to any Companion Participation; and

(ii)           the Servicer and the Special Servicer (other than in the case of any Administrative Modification or a Criteria-Based Modification) shall each consult with and obtain the consent of the related Companion Participation Holder to the extent required by the related Participation Agreement.

The Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan and with respect to matters it is processing with respect to any Performing Loan) or the Servicer (with respect to any Performing Loan other than matters being processed by the Special Servicer), as applicable, shall timely provide to each applicable Companion Participation Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Participation Holder pursuant to the related Participation Agreement, and the Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Servicer in preparing/delivering any such report or notice with respect to special servicing matters.

Article V

SERVICER and special servicer COMPENSATION AND ExPENSES

Section 5.01       Servicing Compensation. (a) As consideration for servicing the Collateral Interests and Commercial Real Estate Loans subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee for each Collateral Interest and each Companion Participation related to a Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loan (including without limitation a Specially Serviced Loan, a REO Loan and Non-Serviced Collateral Interest (including the Issuer’s interest in any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Collateral Interest)) remaining subject to this Agreement during any calendar month or part thereof; provided that any Servicing Fee payable in respect of a Companion Participation and the related Companion Participation Holder’s interest in any related REO Property shall only be paid from collections in respect of the related Commercial Real Estate Loan that are allocated to such Companion Participation. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly on the Remittance Date (or earlier pursuant to the related Participation Agreement) of each month and shall be computed on the basis of the outstanding principal balance of the related Collateral Interest or on the Companion Participation as of the first Business Day following the Determination Date in the immediately preceding calendar month and for the period with respect to which any related interest payment on the related Collateral Interest or on the Companion Participation or distribution on the related Collateral Interest or on the Companion Participation is computed. The Servicer may pay itself the Servicing Fee on the Remittance Date (or earlier pursuant to the related Participation Agreement) of each month from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account, as applicable, or such other funds permitted under the related Participation Agreement. To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account, as applicable, on the Remittance Date are insufficient to pay the Servicing Fee allocated to any Commercial Real Estate Loan or related REO Loan, the Issuer shall pay any such shortfall to the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after the Issuer’s receipt of an itemized invoice therefor. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with (i) delegation in respect of servicing of a Commercial Real Estate Loan in respect of which there is a Companion Participation to a sub-servicer, which sub-servicer or an affiliate of such sub-servicer is also the servicer under the related A-1 Participation Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under and as permitted pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)           As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03, amounts constituting Additional Servicing Compensation with respect to the Commercial Real Estate Loans.

(c)           The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses related to the Servicer’s internal costs, consisting of overhead and employee costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 5.02       Servicing Advances; Servicer Expenses. (a) The Special Servicer (for Specially Serviced Loans) or the Servicer (for Performing Loans) shall, in the first instance, have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the necessity for all Servicing Advances and Servicing Expenses. With respect to the Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loans only, the Advancing Agent at the direction of the Special Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien on a Mortgaged Property or REO Property, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Obligor (or related REO Proceeds, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Obligor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis and (iv) all other customary, reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the servicing (or special servicing, as applicable) and administering of the Serviced Commercial Real Estate Loans; and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and similar items, the Advancing Agent shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (x) five (5) Business Days after the Special Servicer or the Servicer has received confirmation that such item has not been paid or (y) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments.

-67-

(b)           The Special Servicer shall give the Advancing Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer and the Issuer no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Advancing Agent is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than twice per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Advancing Agent or the Servicer, as applicable, may pay to the Special Servicer the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request, in which case 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 Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Any request by the Special Servicer that the Advancing Agent or the Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Advancing Agent and the Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; provided that the determination that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be binding on the Servicer and the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is required to be made in accordance with the Servicing Standard shall not be binding on the Advancing Agent.

The Servicer shall give the Advancing Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Issuer no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Advancing Agent is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Performing Loan; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than twice per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Advancing Agent may pay to the Servicer the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request, in which case the Servicer shall provide the Advancing Agent with such information in its possession as the Advancing Agent may reasonably request to enable the Advancing Agent to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Any request by the Servicer that the Advancing Agent make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; provided, that the determination that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be binding on the Advancing Agent but the Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is required to be made in accordance with the Servicing Standard is binding on the Advancing Agent.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Advancing Agent fails to make in a timely manner any Servicing Advance that the Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined is required in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and the Advancing Agent has not determined that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance:

(i)            the Note Administrator shall (x) terminate the Advancing Agent hereunder and under the Indenture and, if the Special Servicer is an Affiliate of, or the same entity as, the Advancing Agent, terminate the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, (y) use reasonable efforts for ninety (90) days after such termination to replace the Advancing Agent hereunder and under the Indenture in accordance with the applicable procedures set forth in the Indenture, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, and (z) if the Special Servicer is an Affiliate of, or the same entity as, the Advancing Agent, terminate the Special Servicer and replace the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.03 of this Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Note Administrator shall not be responsible for making any Servicing Advance); and

(ii)           within five (5) Business Days of the Servicer’s receipt of written notice of the Advancing Agent’s failure to make a required Servicing Advance that the Advancing Agent or the Special Servicer has not determined to be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall promptly make such Servicing Advance, but subject to the Servicer’s determination that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided that the Servicer shall be required to make Servicing Advances pursuant to this Section 5.02(c)(ii) only until a successor Advancing Agent is appointed, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. After the Advancing Agent has been removed pursuant to this Section 5.02(c), the Servicer shall be primarily responsible for making Servicing Advances hereunder, in the manner set forth in this Section 5.02 until a successor Advancing Agent is appointed, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. Any successor Advancing Agent’s long-term senior unsecured debt shall be rated at least “A2” by Xxxxx’x and “A” by DBRS Morningstar (if rated by DBRS Morningstar, or if not rated by DBRS Morningstar, an equivalent (or higher) rating by any two other NRSROs (which may include Xxxxx’x)), and whose short-term senior unsecured debt rating is at least “P-1” from Xxxxx’x.

(d)           The Advancing Agent or the Servicer, as applicable, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance during the period ending on the then-current Determination Date for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (with the consent of the Collateral Manager for any deferral in excess of 6 months). If the Advancing Agent or Servicer, as applicable, makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (and interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (and interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent one-month period.

(e)           On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Remittance Date, the Advancing Agent or the Special Servicer shall report to the Servicer if the Advancing Agent or the Special Servicer determines that any Servicing Advance previously made by the Advancing Agent or the Servicer is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, and such determination shall be binding upon the Servicer, but shall in no way limit the ability of the Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. All such Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Obligors and further as provided in Section 3.03(b) and Section 3.03(d).

-69-

(f)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Except as set forth in Section 5.02(c)(ii), the Servicer shall have no obligation under this Agreement to make any Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.02, the Servicer may in its reasonable judgment elect (but shall not be required) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as interest collections and then from all other amounts comprising principal collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property (or REO Property) from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage or security instrument, or the loss of any security for the related Commercial Real Estate Loan; provided that in each instance, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Issuer) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Relevant Parties in Interest.

(g)           At such time as it is reimbursed for any Servicing Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) or the Participated Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(d), the Advancing Agent and the Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account or such Participated Loan Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b) or 3.03(d), as applicable, interest at the Advance Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. The Servicer shall reimburse the Advancing Agent or itself, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after receipt of payments from the related Obligor that represent reimbursement of such Servicing Advances, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and REO Proceeds of the Commercial Real Estate Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property for which such Servicing Advance was made or if such Servicing Advance has been determined to be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, from general collections in respect of all of the Commercial Real Estate Loans as reimbursement for such Servicing Advance.

(h)           Neither the Servicer nor the Advancing Agent shall have any liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders, any Companion Participation Holder or any other Person if its determination that a Servicing Advance made or to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance should prove to be wrong or incorrect, so long as such determination in the case of the Advancing Agent was made on a reasonable basis in good faith or, in the case of the Servicer was made in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(i)            The Servicer shall not be obligated to make Interest Advances.

Section 5.03       Special Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan; provided that any Special Servicing Fee allocable to a Companion Participation shall be paid only from amounts allocated to such Companion Participation in accordance with the related Participation Agreement. As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the outstanding principal balance of such Specially Serviced Loan as of the first Business Day following the Determination Date in the immediately preceding calendar month and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on an asset-by-asset basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses related to the Special Servicer’s internal costs consisting as overhead and employees expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

(b)           The Special Servicer shall be entitled to a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Commercial Real Estate Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided that any Workout Fee allocable to a Companion Participation shall be paid only from amounts allocated to such Companion Participation in accordance with the related Participation Agreement. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such Commercial Real Estate Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Commercial Real Estate Loans that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of such termination or resignation, except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Commercial Real Estate Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Obligor had not had sufficient time to make three (3) consecutive timely Monthly Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Obligor making such three (3) consecutive timely Monthly Payments. The successor Special Servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees to which the predecessor Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to the preceding two (2) sentences. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds); provided that any Liquidation Fee allocable to a Companion Participation shall be paid only from amounts allocated to such Companion Participation in accordance with the related Participation Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with (w) the repurchase of any Commercial Real Estate Loan by the Seller for a breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Commercial Real Estate Loan documentation so long as such repurchase is completed within the period (including any extension thereof) provided for such repurchase in the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement (x) the sale of any Commercial Real Estate Loan or Collateral Interest pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Indenture, or (y) the purchase of a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property by any lender or Companion Participation Holder pursuant to any purchase option. If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Commercial Real Estate Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive only a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Commercial Real Estate Loan.

-71-

(c)           As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account or the Participated Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 or any REO Account pursuant to Section 3.13, amounts constituting Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the Commercial Real Estate Loans.

-72-

In the event that the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, sustains any loss, liability or expense which results from any overcharges to Obligors under the Commercial Real Estate Loans, to the extent that such overcharges were collected by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and remitted to the Issuer, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall promptly remit such overcharge to the related Obligor or other Obligors after the Issuer’s receipt of written notice from the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, regarding such overcharge.

The Issuer and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, against any loss, liability or expense incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity, by reason of (i) the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the duties of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator (in each of its capacities under the Indenture except in its capacity as Designated Transaction Representative) or the Trustee, as applicable, hereunder or (ii) a breach of the representations and warranties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer set forth in Section 7.01.

Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay or failure in performance resulting from acts beyond its control (such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war); provided that such delay or failure is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Resignation under Section 6.03(b)(i) shall be effective within thirty (30) days of such notice.

then, and in each and every case, so long as a Collateral Manager Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Issuer may, by notice in writing to the Collateral Manager in addition to whatever rights the Issuer may have at law or in equity, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement and in and to the Collateral Interests and related Commercial Real Estate Loans and the proceeds thereof, without the Issuer incurring any penalty or fee of any kind whatsoever in connection therewith; provided, however, that such termination shall be without prejudice to any rights of the Collateral Manager relating to the reimbursement of any Servicing Expense which have been made by it under the terms of this Agreement through and including the date of such termination. 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 Collateral Manager Termination Event. On or after the receipt by the Collateral Manager of such written notice of termination from the Issuer, all authority and power of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Collateral Interests or the Commercial Real Estate Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Issuer, and the Collateral Manager agrees to cooperate with the Issuer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights hereunder of the Collateral Manager.

The Issuer may waive any Collateral Manager Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default 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 consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

(b)            The obligations of each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager under this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be subject to Issuer’s compliance with all Laws, including Anti-Terrorism Laws, and the continued truthfulness and completeness of Issuer’s representations and warranties found in Section 7.01(c)(ii) and (iii).

Any such transfer shall constitute a termination of this Agreement with respect to such Collateral Interest and any Companion Participation, subject to the Issuer’s notice requirements under Section 8.01(a). The Issuer acknowledges that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to perform Servicing or Special Servicing, as applicable, with respect to such transferred Collateral Interests (or any related Companion Participation) for any such third party unless and until the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such third party execute a servicing agreement having terms which are mutually agreeable to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such third party; provided, however, no such third party shall be obligated to engage the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to perform Servicing or Special Servicing with respect to the transferred Collateral Interests (or any related Companion Participation) (or be liable for any of the obligations of Issuer hereunder).
