ARTICLE II MASTER SERVICER’S ENGAGEMENT OF PRIMARY SERVICER TO PERFORM SERVICING RESPONSIBILITIES

Section 2.01 Contract for Servicing; Possession of Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby contract with the Primary Servicer, subject to the terms of this Agreement, for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans. On and after the Closing Date, the Primary Servicer shall hold any portion of the Servicing File or the Mortgage File (including, without limitation, any original letter of credit) in the possession of the Primary Servicer in trust by the Primary Servicer, on behalf of the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Primary Servicer’s possession of any portion of the Servicing File or the Mortgage File shall be at the will of the Master Servicer and the Trustee for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing or the supervision of servicing of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention and possession by the Primary Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. Any portion of the Servicing File or the Mortgage File retained by the Primary Servicer shall be identified in accordance with its customary procedures by assigning a loan number that will reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Primary Servicer shall release from its custody any portion of the Servicing File or the Mortgage File retained or held by it only in accordance with this Agreement and, to the extent incorporated herein, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Within twenty (20) days following the Closing Date the Primary Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer a certification executed by a duly authorized officer of the Primary Servicer, certifying to the Master Servicer as to the original letters of credit held by the Primary Servicer and identifying the letters of credit, the amounts of the letters of credit and the Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Companion Loans to which they relate. The Primary Servicer shall hold the original of each letter of credit relating to a Mortgage Loan in trust on behalf of the Trust in order to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust. The Primary Servicer shall forward a copy of each letter of credit to the Master Servicer. During the term of this Agreement, the Primary Servicer will also provide to the Master Servicer a copy of any lease, amendments to Mortgage Loan documents, Serviced Companion Loan documents and other documents related to the Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Companion Loans or related to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loans as soon as possible after receipt or execution thereof, as applicable. References in this Section 2.01 to the Primary Servicer possessing the Mortgage File are not intended to imply that the Primary Servicer is the primary custodian of the Mortgage File, but rather such references are contained in this Section 2.01 solely because the Primary Servicer may from time to time, have possession of one or more documents in the Mortgage File in connection with certain servicing duties but shall return or forward the original of such documents upon receipt to the Master Servicer and shall maintain a copy of such document as necessary for servicing the Mortgage Loan and the Serviced Companion Loans.

Section 2.02 Notice of Defect, Breach or Repurchase Request.

Following its receipt from the Depositor, the Master Servicer shall provide a copy of the JPMCB Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Primary Servicer. The Primary Servicer shall promptly notify in writing the Master Servicer after the Primary Servicer discovers (without

implying any duty of the Primary Servicer to make, or attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging a Document Defect or a Breach contained in such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or a document defect that could give rise to a cure or repurchase obligation. The Primary Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer in pursuing its obligations to make a repurchase claim against the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Primary Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing within five (5) Business Days after the Primary Servicer (a) discovers or receives notice alleging a Document Defect or a Breach or (b) receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase, a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Rejection or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal or (c) receives a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, in each case with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. The Primary Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt, provide to the Master Servicer a copy of any written Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase, Repurchase Request Rejection, Certificateholder Repurchase Request, or PSA Party Repurchase Request received by the Primary Servicer and such other information in the possession of the Primary Servicer reasonably requested by the Master Servicer to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement

ARTICLE III

SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS AND SERVICED COMPANION LOANS

Section

3.01 Primary Servicer to Service.

(a) The Primary Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, in the case of the Serviced Companion Loans, as a collective whole with the related Mortgage Loan, taking into account the pari passu nature of the Serviced Companion Loans.

(b) The Primary Servicer shall perform, on behalf of the Master Servicer, all of the obligations of the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans subject to this Agreement) as set forth in those sections of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement specifically incorporated herein pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement (the “Incorporated Sections”), as modified by Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall have the same rights with respect to the Primary Servicer that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Depositor, the Controlling Class Certificateholders, the Controlling Class Representative, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Rating Agencies, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Directing Holders, the Certificateholders, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and the Special Servicer (including, without limitation, the right of the Special Servicer to direct the Master Servicer during certain periods) have with respect to the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent that the Primary Servicer is acting on behalf of the Master Servicer hereunder and except as otherwise set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.22 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as modified herein, the Primary Servicer shall service and administer all of the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion

Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans; provided, however, that the Primary Servicer shall continue to receive payments (and provide notice to the Master Servicer and Serviced Companion Loan Holders, as applicable, of such payments), collect information and prepare and deliver reports to the Master Servicer required hereunder with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties (and the related REO Loans), and render such incidental services with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as and to the extent as may be specifically provided for herein with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as are specifically provided for under Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that if the Special Servicer is not, and is not an Affiliate of, the Primary Servicer, the Primary Servicer shall not be liable for its failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure by the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Primary Servicer to comply with such duties or the failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All references herein to the respective duties of the Primary Servicer and the Special Servicer, and to the areas in which they may exercise discretion, shall be subject to Section 3.22 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as modified herein, and to the Special Servicer’s rights to service Specially Serviced Loans. Except as otherwise set forth below, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) references to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Directing Certificateholder, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Rating Agencies, the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and the Certificateholders in the Incorporated Sections (and in the defined terms used therein) shall be deemed to be references to the Master Servicer hereunder, (ii) references to the Master Servicer in the Incorporated Sections (and in the defined terms used therein) shall be deemed to be references to the Primary Servicer hereunder, (iii) references to the Mortgage Loans, as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in the Incorporated Sections (and in the defined terms used therein) shall be deemed to be references to the Mortgage Loan in this Agreement, and (iv) references to the Serviced Companion Loans and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, each as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in the Incorporated Sections (and in the defined terms used therein) shall be deemed to be references to the Serviced Companion Loans in this Agreement (such modification of the Incorporated Sections (and in the defined terms used therein) pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this sentence shall be referred to herein as the “References Modification”). In each case where the Master Servicer is given any power to act under the provisions of the Incorporated Sections, such power is hereby delegated to the Primary Servicer to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement. With respect to all servicing responsibilities of the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which are not being performed by the Primary Servicer under this Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer to facilitate the timely performance of such servicing responsibilities.

(c) The following Sections of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise provided in this Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement, are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein, and, for purposes of this Agreement, in addition to the References Modification, are hereby further modified as set forth below:

(1) Section 1.02. The determination as to the application of amounts collected in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, in the absence of express provisions

in the related Loan Documents or to the extent that such terms authorize the lender to use its discretion, shall be made by the Master Servicer.

(2) [Reserved]

(3) Section 2.05(a). Section 2.05(a)(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed modified to read “The Primary Servicer is a national banking association, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America, and the Primary Servicer is in compliance with the laws of each State in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.”

(4) Sections 3.01(a) and (b) are incorporated herein, except where expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Primary Servicer shall take all necessary action to continue all UCC financing statements in favor of the assignee prior to the expiration of such UCC financing statements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Primary Servicer’s authority is restricted as provided in Section 3.01(c)(17) and (30) of this Agreement.

(5) Sections 3.01(c), (d), (e) and (k). References to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be deemed to be references to the Primary Servicer for purposes of Sections 3.01(c) and (d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Each and every one of the terms and conditions of Sections 3.01(c) and (d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as it relates to the Master Servicer shall be enforceable against the Primary Servicer in accordance with the terms thereof. The Primary Servicer may not enter into any new primary servicing agreements in connection with the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans (except with respect to the Liberty Station Retail Loan Combination on and after the related Servicing Shift Date), but the Primary Servicer may delegate its duties to agents or Subcontractors (including entering into limited, non-cashiering subservicing agreements) so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or Subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of Section 3.01(c) and (d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Primary Servicer shall not take any action that the Master Servicer would be prohibited from taking under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Primary Servicer (in such capacity) may not foreclose any Mortgage or, except as permitted by Section 3.01(c)(17) or (30) of this Agreement, grant any modification, extension, waiver or amendment to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Primary Servicer’s authority is restricted as provided in Section 3.01(c)(17) and (30) of this Agreement.

To the extent required by Sections 3.01(c) and (d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement will be assumed by the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or by a successor Master Servicer without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any successor Master Servicer (including, without limitation, the Trustee) shall assume this Agreement and (i) the Primary Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that this

Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor Master Servicer (including, without limitation, the Trustee) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the this Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor Master Servicer and (iii) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Primary Servicer hereunder and/or under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Primary Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(6) Section 3.03(a). The Primary Servicer may not waive any Penalty Charges that the Master Servicer is permitted to waive under Section 3.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without the consent of the Master Servicer. The Primary Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of all income statements, rent rolls and other reporting information collected by the Primary Servicer within the timeframe set forth in Section 3.01(c)(35) of this Agreement. The Primary Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of any defaults under the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, collection issues or customer issues; provided that the Primary Servicer shall not take any action with respect to enforcing the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer.

(7) Except as set forth herein, Section 3.04(a). Without limiting the generality of the obligations of the Primary Servicer hereunder, the Primary Servicer shall monitor and certify to the information on the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans with respect to taxes, insurance premiums, assessments, ground rents and other similar items on a quarterly basis, starting with the quarter ending June of 2019, within thirty (30) days of the end of such quarter as required by, and in the form of, Exhibit E attached hereto, pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(36) of this Agreement. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth sentences of Section 3.04(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are not incorporated herein. The Primary Servicer shall not be required to or permitted to make any Property Advances; provided, however, that, with respect to any Property Advance required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis such that the Primary Servicer is unable to provide the Master Servicer with sufficient notice (which shall not be required to be more than five (5) Business Days’ notice) to enable the Master Servicer to make such Property Advance, the Primary Servicer may, in the Primary Servicer’s sole discretion, make such Property Advance with prior notice to the Master Servicer if reasonably practicable and the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Primary Servicer for such Property Advance and interest thereon at the Advance Rate within five (5) Business Days of receipt of written request therefor. In addition, the Primary Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.

(8) Section 3.04(b), (c), (d) and (e). The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto and a copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Master Servicer within three (3) days of the Closing Date and thereafter to the Master Servicer upon any transfer of any Escrow Account.

Any amounts of additional special servicing compensation payable to the Special Servicer shall be remitted to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer. For purposes of the last paragraph of Section 3.05(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall direct the Special Servicer to make payment of amounts referenced therein directly to the Primary Servicer for deposit in the Primary Servicer Collection Account

(10) Section 3.05A. The Primary Servicer shall establish a collection account (hereinafter the “Primary Servicer Loan Combination Custodial Account”), meeting all of the requirements of the Loan Combination Custodial Account, and references to the Loan Combination Custodial Account shall be references to such Primary Servicer Loan Combination Custodial Account. The creation of any Primary Servicer Loan Combination Custodial Account, which may be a sub-account of the Primary Servicer Collection Account shall be evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto and a copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Master Servicer on or prior to the Closing Date and thereafter to the Master Servicer upon any transfer of the Primary Servicer Loan Combination Custodial Account. As of the Closing Date, the Primary Servicer Loan Combination Custodial Account will be a sub-account of the Primary Servicer Collection Account.

Any amounts of Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special Servicer shall be remitted to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer. For purposes of Section 3.05A(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall direct the Special Servicer to make payment of amounts referenced therein directly to the Primary Servicer for deposit in the Primary Servicer Loan Combination Custodial Account.

Each indemnified party hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnitor of matters which may give rise to liability of such indemnitor hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability except to the extent of actual prejudice. Section 3.06 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer.

From and after the receipt by the Primary Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Primary Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 4.01, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Primary Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Primary Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to direct the Master Servicer to replace the Primary Servicer with a successor sub-servicer for the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to Section 7.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Successor Primary Servicer”) following a Primary Servicer Termination Event. The Primary Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 4.01, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Master Servicer or Successor Primary Servicer, as applicable, with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) requested by it to enable it to assume the Primary Servicer’s functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Primary Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Primary Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Master Servicer or the Successor Primary Servicer, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Primary Servicer to the Primary Servicer Collection Account, the Primary Servicer Loan Combination Custodial Account, the Collection Account, the Loan Combination Custodial Account, any Escrow Account

or any Lock-Box Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans (provided, however, that the Primary Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination).

In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, if the Primary Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts when required to be remitted hereunder, the Primary Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on the amount of such late remittance at the rate of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association prime rate plus three percent (3%) per annum, applied on a per diem basis for each day such remittance is late (i.e., said per annum rate divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days late); but in no event shall such interest be greater than the maximum amount permitted by law.

Section 4.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Master Servicer may waive any default by the Primary 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 Primary Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 4.03 Other Remedies of Master Servicer.

During the continuance of any Primary Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Primary Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, in addition to the rights specified in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). 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 Primary Servicer Termination Event.

ARTICLE V TERMINATION

Section 5.01 Termination.

Any notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Primary Servicer as provided in Section 6.05 of this Agreement.

Additionally, the Depositor may terminate any rights the Primary Servicer may have hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans at any time following any failure of the Primary Servicer to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that the Primary Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB or as otherwise contemplated by Article X of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 5.04 Termination of Duties with Respect to Specially Serviced Loans.

At such time as any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the obligations and duties of the Primary Servicer set forth herein with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan that are required to be performed by the Special Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall cease in accordance with Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement. The Primary Servicer shall continue to perform all of its duties hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans to the extent set forth in Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If a Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Loan, the Primary Servicer shall commence servicing such Corrected Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 6.06 Severability Clause.

To the extent this Agreement delegates duties of the Master Servicer to the Primary Servicer, this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which provisions shall be paramount and controlling and shall supersede the provisions of this Agreement to the extent of any conflicts. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

Section 6.07 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 6.08 Governing Law.

The parties hereto intend that the provisions of Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations law shall apply to this Agreement.

Section 6.09 Protection of Confidential Information.

The Primary Servicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party other than the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, without the Master Servicer’s prior written consent, any information pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans or any borrower thereunder, except to the extent that (a) it is appropriate for the Primary Servicer to do so in working with third party vendors, property inspectors, legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental

agencies or in accordance with this Agreement or (b) the Primary Servicer is disseminating general statistical information relating to the mortgage loans being serviced by the Primary Servicer (including the Mortgage Loan and the Serviced Companion Loans) so long as the Primary Servicer does not identify the owner of the Mortgage Loan, the Serviced Companion Loans or the Mortgagors.

Section 6.10 Intention of the Parties.

It is the intention of the parties that the Master Servicer is conveying, and the Primary Servicer is receiving, only a contract for servicing the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans. Accordingly, the parties hereby acknowledge that the Trustee remains the sole and absolute beneficial owner of the Mortgage Loans and all rights related thereto and that the Serviced Companion Loan Holder remains the sole and absolute beneficial owner of the Serviced Companion Loans.

Section 6.11 Third Party Beneficiary.

The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder, and the Trust, as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, shall each be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement, provided that, except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder as contemplated by Section 6.12 of this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Fund, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, any successor Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Certificateholder or the related Companion Loan Holder shall have any duties, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement or any liabilities arising herefrom.

Section 6.12 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Agreement.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Primary Servicer and the Master Servicer and the respective successors and assigns of the Primary Servicer and the Master Servicer. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Primary Servicer to a third party except as otherwise specifically provided for herein. This Agreement may be assumed by the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or any successor Master Servicer, without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (it being understood that any such obligations shall be the obligations of the terminated Master Servicer only).

Section 6.13 Waivers.

No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

Section 6.14 Exhibits.

The Exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

Section 6.15 General Interpretive Principles.

The article and section headings are for convenience of a reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 6.16 Complete Agreement.

This Agreement embodies the complete agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and may not be varied or terminated except by a written agreement conforming to the provisions of Section 6.18 of this Agreement. All prior negotiations or representations of the parties are merged into this Agreement and shall have no force or effect unless expressly stated herein.

Section 6.17 Further Agreement.

The Primary Servicer and the Master Servicer each agree to execute and deliver to the other such reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 6.18 Amendments.

This Agreement may only be amended with the consent of the Primary Servicer and the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall not consent to any modification to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of a Primary Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Primary Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Section 6.19 No Partnership.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto, and the services of the Primary Servicer shall be rendered as an independent contractor for the Master Servicer.
