2 RETENTION AND AUTHORITY OF SERVICER AND SPECIAL SERVICER

2.1 Engagement; Servicing Standard.

2.1.1 Owner hereby engages Servicer and Special Servicer, as the case may be, to perform, and Servicer and Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereby agree to perform, Loan Servicing and Special Servicing, as applicable, with respect to each of the Investments throughout the term of this Agreement, upon and subject to the terms, covenants and provisions hereof.

2.1.2 Each of Servicer and Special Servicer shall diligently perform its services hereunder (a) in accordance with (i) applicable laws, (ii) the terms and provisions of the Investment File, (iii) the express terms hereof, and (iv) the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional commercial mortgage loan servicers, and (b) to the extent consistent with the foregoing requirements, in the same manner in which Servicer and Special Servicer services commercial loans for its own account and for other third party portfolios of loans similar to the Investments, whichever is higher, but without regard to any relationship that Servicer and Special Servicer or any Affiliate of Servicer and Special Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor or any Affiliate of such Mortgagor or to Servicer's and Special Servicer's right to receive compensation for its services hereunder. The servicing standards described in the preceding sentence are herein referred to as "Accepted Servicing Practices".

2.1.3 Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.9, Special Servicer shall service and administer any Investment as to which a Special Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (in each case, a "Specially Serviced Investment"); provided, that Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Investments, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by Special Servicer, as if no Special Servicing Transfer Event had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Investments as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, however, that Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Each Investment that becomes a Specially Serviced Investment shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.9. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.9, Servicer shall service and administer all Investments that are not Specially Serviced Investments. Special Servicer shall make the inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the statements and forward to Servicer and Lender reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties, with respect to Specially Serviced Investments in accordance with, and to the extent required by, Accepted Servicing Practices. After notification to Servicer, Special Servicer may contact any Mortgagor of any Performing Investment if efforts by Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of Servicer.

2.2 Subservicing.

To the extent necessary for Servicer to comply with any applicable laws, regulations, codes or ordinances relating to Servicer's Loan Servicing obligations hereunder, and subject to the prior, written approval of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may subservice to any Person any of its Loan Servicing obligations hereunder; provided, however, that Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide oversight and supervision with regard to the performance of all subcontracted services and any subservicing agreement shall be consistent with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Neither the existence of any subservicing agreement nor any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to subservicing shall relieve Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, of its obligations to Owner hereunder. Notwithstanding any such subservicing agreement, Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, alone were servicing the related Investments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any subservicer, regardless of whether Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, compensation hereunder is sufficient to pay such fees. Owner shall have no obligation or liability to any subservicer as a result of Owner's entry into this Agreement. Each subservicing agreement must be in writing and provide that it automatically terminates or otherwise no longer applies to any of the Investments, without payment of any termination fee by Owner, upon the termination of this Agreement. Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, at its own expense, shall provide Lender and Owner with copies of all subservicing agreements upon request. Each sub-servicer must be authorized to transact business in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the applicable sub-servicing agreement.

2.3 Authority of Servicer and Special Servicer.

2.3.1 In performing its Loan Servicing obligations hereunder, Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall, except as otherwise provided herein and subject to the terms of this Agreement, have full power and authority, acting alone or through others, to take any and all actions in connection with such Loan Servicing or Special Servicing that it deems necessary or appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, is hereby authorized and empowered by Owner when Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, deems it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of Owner (a) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien of each Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property and any other related collateral; and (b) subject to the Master Loan Agreement, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to each of the Investments; provided, however, that Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify Owner and Lender in writing in the event that Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, intends to execute and deliver any such instrument referred to in clause (b) above and, except in connection with any payment in full of any Investment, shall proceed with such course of action only upon receipt of Owner's written approval thereof. Owner agrees to cooperate with Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, by either executing and delivering to Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, from time to time (i) powers of attorney evidencing Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, authority and power under this Section, or (ii) such documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, to enable Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its Loan Servicing or Special Servicing obligations hereunder.

2.3.2 In the performance of its Loan Servicing or Special Servicing obligations hereunder, Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall take any action that is directed by Owner

that relates to Servicer's Loan Servicing obligations under this Agreement or, as appropriate, to Special Servicer's Special Servicing obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to take, or to refrain from taking, any action that Owner requests that Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, take or refrain from taking to the extent that Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment that such action or inaction (i) may cause a violation of applicable laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, court orders or restrictive covenants with respect to any Investment, Mortgagor or Mortgaged Property; or (ii) may cause a violation of any provision of the Master Loan Agreement, the applicable Note or any other document securing or evidencing such Investment.

2.3.3 Unless Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of Owner and Xxxxxx, and subject to Section 3.1 with respect to any actions that constitute Special Servicing, Servicer shall not take any of the following actions with respect to any Investment on behalf of Owner:

A. any Material Modification, as defined in the Master Loan Agreement;

B. responding to any notices or requests in connection with the bankruptcy of a Mortgagor; or

3.1.2 Special Servicer agrees to serve as Special Servicer with respect to each Special Serviced Investment as provided herein in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (such actions and duties, "Special Servicing").

3.2 Escrow Accounts; Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.

3.2.1 With respect to the Investments, and subject to and as required by the terms of the related Investment File, Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated interest bearing accounts in the name of Owner and at the bank approved by Owner (each, an "Escrow Account") into which any or all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two Business Days after receipt and identification. Escrow Accounts shall be denominated either "Ares Commercial Real Estate Servicer LLC as agent for ACRC Lender C LLC, together with its respective successors or assigns" or "[insert name of appropriate Mortgagor] Ares Commercial Real Estate Servicer LLC as agent for ACRC Lender C LLC, together with its respective successors or assigns". Servicer shall notify Owner in writing of the location and account number of each Escrow Account it establishes and shall notify Owner prior to any change thereof. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made, subject to any express provisions to the contrary herein, applicable laws, and to the terms of the related Investment File governing the use of the Escrow Payments, only: (i) to effect payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents and other items required or permitted to be paid from escrow; (ii) to refund to Mortgagors any sums determined to be in excess of the amounts required to be deposited therein; (iii) to pay interest, if required under the Investment File, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Accounts; (iv) to pay to Servicer from time to time any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.4; (v) to apply funds to the indebtedness of the Investment in accordance with the terms thereof; (vi) to reimburse Servicer or Special Servicer for any Servicing Expense for which Escrow Payments should have been made by Mortgagors, but only from amounts received on the Investment that represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Escrow Accounts that was not required to be deposited therein; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Accounts at the termination of this Agreement.

3.2.2 Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Mortgaged Property 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 Investment File requires Escrow Payments to be made by a Mortgagor, Servicer shall use Best 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 Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of the Investment and deposited in the related Escrow Account by Servicer. To the extent that the Investment does not require a Mortgagor to make Escrow Payments, Servicer shall use its Best Efforts to require that any such payment be made by Mortgagors prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. Subject to Section 3.5 with respect to the payment of insurance premiums, if a Mortgagor fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item when due, the amount of any shortfall shall be paid by Servicer as a Servicing Expense.

3.3 Servicer's Account.

With respect to the Investments, Servicer shall deposit all Income, other than Escrow Payments or payments made by a related Mortgagor as reimbursement for any Servicing Expenses made by Servicer, into the Servicer's Account, in accordance with the terms of the Master Loan Agreement.

3.4 Permitted Investments.

Servicer or 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 Permitted Investments; provided, however, that such funds shall be either (i) immediately available or (ii) available in accordance with a schedule that will permit Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, to meet its obligations hereunder. Servicer or 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. Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deposit from its own funds in the applicable Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not direct the investment of funds held in any Escrow Account and retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the related Investment File or applicable law requires that Mortgagor to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein. In such event, Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall direct the depository institution or trust company in which such Escrow Account are maintained to invest the funds held therein (1) in accordance with Mortgagor's written investment instructions, if the Investment File or applicable law require such funds to be invested in accordance with Mortgagor's direction; and (2) in accordance with Owner's written investment instructions, if the Investment File and applicable law do not permit Mortgagor 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 that will permit Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established, and (ii) Servicer or 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 by Owner.

3.5 Maintenance of Insurance Policies.

3.5.1 Servicer shall use its Best Efforts to cause the Mortgagor of each Investment to maintain for each Investment such insurance as is required to be maintained pursuant to the related Investment File. If Mortgagor fails to maintain such insurance, then Servicer shall notify Owner and Lender of such breach and, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, cause to be maintained (i) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least

equal to the lesser of the current principal balance of such Investment and the replacement cost of the improvements that are a part of the related Mortgaged Property, (ii) to the extent required by the terms of the Investment File, earthquake or other special hazard insurance, and (iii) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, flood insurance in respect thereof, in each case with insurers meeting the minimum standards set forth in the related Investment File or, if no such standards are expressed, as approved in writing by Owner. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (y) the unpaid principal balance of the related Investment or (z) the maximum amount of such insurance as is available for the related Mortgaged Property under the National Flood Insurance Act. After notifying Owner pursuant to the second preceding sentence, Servicer shall take such action as Owner reasonably requests with respect to the maintenance of any other forms of insurance that are required to be maintained pursuant to the related Investment File, except to the extent that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Owner and its assigns, and shall be in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause. The costs of maintaining the insurance policies that Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to this Section shall be paid by Servicer as a Servicing Expense.

3.5.2 Servicer may fulfill its obligation to maintain insurance, as provided in Section 3.5.1, through a master force placed insurance policy, the cost of which shall be paid by Servicer as a Servicing Expense, provided that such cost is limited to the incremental cost of such policy allocable to such Mortgaged Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property is then covered thereby), which shall be paid by Servicer. Such master force placed insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.5.1, and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the related Servicer's 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 Investment File, or, in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

3.5.3 Each of Servicer and Special Servicer shall keep in force, at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, a policy or policies of insurance in form and amounts that are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of Servicer's or Special Servicer's officers and employees in connection with its obligations hereunder. Upon the request of Owner or Lender, Servicer shall cause to be delivered to Owner a copy of each insurance policy. Servicer shall promptly report in writing to Owner any material changes that may occur in such policy or policies. All such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company having a claims paying ability of no less than "A" from Standard & Poor's or any other rating agency approved by Owner in Owner's reasonable discretion. No provision of this Section requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

3.6 Delivery and Possession of Servicing Files.

On or before the related Servicing Transfer Date, Owner shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Servicer (i) a Servicing File with respect to each Investment; and (ii) the amounts, if any, received by Owner representing Escrow Payments previously made by Mortgagors. Servicer shall promptly acknowledge receipt of the Servicing File and Escrow Payments for the Investments and shall promptly deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts established pursuant to this Agreement. The contents of each Servicing File delivered to Servicer are and shall be held in trust by Servicer for the

benefit of Owner as the owner thereof; Xxxxxxxx's possession of the contents of each Servicing File so delivered is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Investment; and such possession by Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from Owner (or, after a Master Loan Event of Default, Lender), and upon request of Owner (or, after a Master Loan Event of Default, Lender), Servicer shall deliver to Owner (or, after a Master Loan Event of Default, Lender) the Servicing File or a copy of any document contained therein; provided, however, that if Servicer is unable to perform its Loan Servicing obligations with respect to the related Investment after any such release or delivery of the Servicing File, then Servicer's responsibilities for Loan Servicing with respect to such Investment may be terminated immediately by Servicer upon written notice to Owner and Xxxxxx.

3.7 Inspections.

Servicer shall perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices at least annually or if (a) the related Investment becomes delinquent for a period of 60 days or more, (b) Owner requests such an inspection, or (c) Servicer, with the approval of Owner, determines that it is prudent to conduct such an inspection. Servicer shall prepare a written report in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Owner of each such inspection and shall promptly deliver a copy of such report to Owner and Lender. The reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by 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 as a Servicing Expense; provided, however, that with respect to the annual inspection of any Mortgaged Property, such expenses shall be borne by Servicer.

3.8 Exercise of Remedies Upon Investment Defaults.

Upon the failure of any Mortgagor to make any required payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under a Investment, or otherwise to perform fully any material obligations under any of the related Investment File, in either case within any applicable grace period, Servicer shall, upon discovery of such failure, promptly notify Owner and Lender in writing. As directed in writing by Owner in each instance, Servicer shall issue notices of default, declare events of default, declare due the entire outstanding principal balance, and otherwise take all reasonable actions (that do not constitute Special Services) under the related Investment in preparation for Special Servicer to realize upon the underlying collateral. In the event that title to any of the Mortgaged Properties is acquired by Owner or Persons designated by Owner or by a third party at a foreclosure or trustee's sale, the servicing rights and obligations of Servicer with respect to the related Investment shall terminate, unless Owner and Servicer have agreed pursuant to Section 3.1 that Servicer shall perform Special Services with respect to any such Mortgaged Property.

3.9 Transfer of Servicing Between Servicer and Special Servicer; Record Keeping; Asset Status Report.

3.9.1 Upon the occurrence of any Special Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Investment of which Servicer has notice, Servicer shall on the same day give notice thereof to Special Servicer, Owner and Lender, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Servicing File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Investment, as applicable, and reasonably requested by Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a sub-servicer. Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the date such Investment becomes a Specially Serviced Investment and in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of such Investment until Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Investment, which shall occur upon the receipt by Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. With respect to each Investment, Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Investment to Servicer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, subject to the Master Loan Agreement, with respect to each Investment that becomes a Specially Serviced Investment, Special Servicer may instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Investment to Special Servicer, provided that the payee in respect of such payments shall remain Servicer. Special Servicer shall remit to Servicer any such payments received by it pursuant to the preceding sentence within one Business Day of receipt. Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to Mortgagor of a Specially Serviced Investment to Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor.

3.9.2 Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Investment has become a Corrected Investment, Special Servicer shall on the same day give notice thereof to Servicer and shall deliver to Servicer information reasonably necessary for Servicer to resume servicing, and upon giving such notice and information reasonably necessary for Servicer to resume servicing, such Investment shall cease to be a Specially Serviced Investment in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Investment, Special Servicer's obligation to service such Investment shall terminate and the obligations of Servicer to service and administer such Investment as a Performing Investment shall resume. In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to Special Servicer, then upon such determination, Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such corrected Investment directly to Servicer.

3.9.3 In servicing any Specially Serviced Investment, Special Servicer shall provide to Owner and Lender copies of all documents included within the definition of "Servicing File" and, upon request by Owner or Lender, copies of any additional related Investment information, including correspondence with the related Investment, and Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to Servicer as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of Special Servicer.

3.9.4 Not later than two Business Days preceding each date on which Servicer is required to furnish reports under Section 4.1, Special Servicer shall deliver to Servicer and Lender a written statement describing, on an investment-by-investment basis, (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest received on each Specially Serviced Investment, the amount of all payments on account of principal, including principal prepayments, on each Specially Serviced Investment, and the amount of net insurance proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to each Specially Serviced Investment (it being understood and agreed that to the extent this information is provided in accordance with Section 4.1, Special Servicer's reporting obligations shall be deemed to be satisfied) and (ii) such additional information relating to the Specially Serviced Investments as Servicer or the Owner reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

Such statement and information shall be furnished to Servicer in writing and/or in such electronic media as is acceptable to Servicer.

3.9.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding Section 3.9.4, Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Investments and shall provide Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement. Special Servicer shall provide Servicer with any information reasonably required by Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

3.9.6 No later than 60 days after an Investment becomes a Specially Serviced Investment, Special Servicer shall deliver to Owner and Lender a report (the "Asset Status Report") with respect to such Investment and the related Collateral. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

A. date of transfer of servicing of such Investment to Special Servicer;

B. summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Investment and any negotiations with the related Mortgagor;

C. a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Investment and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

D. the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property;

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

F. a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property; and

G. such other information as Special Servicer deems relevant in light of Accepted Servicing Practices.

If within ten Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, Owner does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, this Agreement, Accepted Servicing Practices (taking into consideration the best interests of Owner) or the terms of the documents evidencing the related Investment. If Owner disapproves such Asset Status Report within such ten-Business-Day period, Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to Owner a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 Business Days after such disapproval. Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report until Owner fails to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report. In any event, if Owner does not approve an Asset Status Report within ten Business Days from the first submission of an Asset Status Report, Special Servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report where required to comply with Accepted Servicing Practices. Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any 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 Owner if (i) the estimated sales proceeds, foreclosure proceeds, work-out or restructure terms or anticipated debt forgiveness varies materially from the amount on which the original report was based or (ii) the related Mortgagor becomes the subject of

bankruptcy proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Special Servicer (i) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Collateral, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of a ten-Business-Day period if Special Servicer has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interests of Owner and it has made a reasonable effort to contact Owner, and (ii) in any case, shall determine whether such affirmative disapproval is not in the best interests of Owner pursuant to Accepted Servicing Practices, and, upon making such determination, shall implement the recommended action outlined in the Asset Status Report. The Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any specific consent or approval right that the Owner may have.

Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with Xxxxxxxxx for any Specially Serviced Investment and take such actions consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the related Asset Status Report. Special Servicer shall not take any action inconsistent with the related Asset Status Report, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, this Agreement, applicable law or the documents evidencing the related Investment.

Servicer may pay itself the Servicing Fee on the date that is one Business Day prior to the Remittance Date from amounts on deposit in the Servicer's Account.

In addition, Servicer shall be entitled to retain as Additional Servicing Compensation, other customary charges, and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, in each case only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor, and Servicer shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Servicer's Account pursuant to Section 3.3.

5.1.4 Servicer shall be required to pay all 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.

5.2 Servicing Expenses.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Servicer shall obtain the written approval of Owner prior to incurring any Servicing Expense, except for any Servicing Expense that is (i) incurred by Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 or 3.5 or (ii) made for any purposes other than those described in item (i) above, and is not over $25,000 and is made in an emergency situation to preserve and protect the Mortgaged Property or the safety of the public in connection with such Mortgaged Property or (iii) made for any purpose other than those described in clauses (i) or (ii) above and is not more than $5,000 per item.

In the event there are insufficient funds collected from the related Mortgagor to permit the payment of any Servicing Expenses, Servicer shall make advances from its own funds with respect to the payment of such expenses, in which event Servicer shall be reimbursed for such advances to the extent of any payments received from the related Mortgagor as reimbursement for such Servicing Expense.

5.3 Special Servicing Compensation.

5.3.1 As compensation for its activities hereunder, Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Investment. As to each Specially Serviced Investment, 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 stated principal balance of such Specially Serviced Investment and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Investments and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Investment is computed. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on an asset-by-asset basis, in accordance with the procedures for the payment of the Servicing Fee to Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1. 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 Special Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

application, assumption, extension, modification, waiver and consent, in each case, received on any Specially Serviced Investments to the extent such fees are paid by Mortgagor. Special Servicer shall also be entitled to Additional Servicing Compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Investment at the Workout Fee Rate on such Investment for so long as it remains a Corrected Investment. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Investment will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Investment; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Investment again becomes a Corrected Investment. If Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Investment that became Corrected Investments prior to the time of such termination or resignation, except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Investment subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Investment. If Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Investments for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing with respect to which one scheduled payment has been made, but that had not as of the time Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Investment solely because the related Xxxxxxxxx had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Monthly Payments and that subsequently becomes a Corrected Investment as a result of Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Monthly Payments. The successor Special Servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to each Specially Serviced Investment as to which Special Servicer receives a full or discounted payoff (or an unscheduled partial payment to the extent such prepayment is required by Special Servicer as a condition to a workout) with respect thereto from the related Mortgagor or 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, or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, as appropriate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable and Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any such Liquidation Fee hereunder based on, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with (y) any event described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of the definition of "Liquidation Proceeds" or (z) unless otherwise agreed to by Special Servicer, the sale of any Specially Serviced Investment consummated less than ten Business Days after the occurrence of the related Special Servicing Transfer Event. If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Investment and 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 Investment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive only a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Investment.

Such successor servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, shall be referred to herein as the "Successor". The Successor shall be the successor in all respects to Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, accruing after such termination; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by Servicer's or Special Servicer's failure to comply with Section 7.1 shall not be considered a default by the Successor hereunder. In its capacity as Successor, the Successor shall have the same limitation of liability herein granted to Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. In connection with any such appointment and assumption, Owner may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor as it and such Successor shall agree. Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall cooperate with the Successor, once appointed, to take such reasonable action, consistent with this Agreement, to effectuate any such succession.

6.3.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, neither Servicer nor Special Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except in the event that (i) its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or (ii) a successor servicer or special servicer approved by Owner , has assumed Servicer's or Special Servicer's as applicable, responsibilities and obligations. Except for a resignation under clause 6.3.2(i) herein, no resignation by Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement shall become effective until the Successor shall have assumed Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, responsibilities and obligations. Resignation under clause 6.3.2(i) shall be effective within 30 days of such notice, unless applicable law requires Servicer's or Special Servicer's resignation to be immediate.

7.2.2 any failure on the part of Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of Servicer contained in this Agreement, or any representation or warranty set forth by Servicer in Section 7.1 shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect, that in either case continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, by Owner (or such extended period of time reasonably approved by Owner, provided that Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, is diligently proceeding in good faith to cure such failure or breach); or

then, and in each and every case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, Owner, or to the extent permitted under Section 8.1.1 hereof, Lender may, by notice in writing to Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in addition to whatever rights Owner may have at law or in equity, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all of the rights and obligations of Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement and in and to the Investments and the proceeds thereof, without Owner, or to the extent permitted under Section 8.1.1 hereof, Lender, 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 Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, relating to the payment of Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Additional Servicing Compensation and the reimbursement of any Servicing Expenses that have been made by it under the

terms of this Agreement through and including the date of such termination; provided that in no event shall such funds be payable to Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, if Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, has not remitted all funds to Owner, as the case may be to which the recipient is entitled hereunder or if Owner has unpaid claims against Servicer relating to the Event of Default(s) that are the basis for 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 Event of Default.

Owner (with the prior approval of Lender) may waive any default by Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. 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.

8.2.1 Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledge that any or all of the Mortgage Loans may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed by Owner to any third party without the consent or approval of Servicer or Special Servicer.

Servicer and Special Servicer shall not be obligated to perform Loan Servicing and Special Servicing with respect to such transferred Mortgage Loans for any such third party unless and until Servicer and Special Servicer and such third party execute a servicing agreement having terms that are mutually agreeable to Servicer, Special Servicer and such third party.

8.2.2 Until Servicer and Special Servicer receive written notice from Owner of the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of one or more Mortgage Loans, Owner shall be presumed to be the owner and holder of such Mortgage Loans, Servicer and Special Servicer shall continue to earn Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees, and Additional Servicing Compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loans and Servicer and Special Servicer shall continue to remit payments and other collections in respect of such Mortgage Loans to Owner, pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof.
