PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary
Statement shall have the meanings
specified in Article I hereof)

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator will elect that two segregated portions of the Trust Fund (other than the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, any Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class EC Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the proceeds of the foregoing) be treated for federal income tax purposes as two separate REMICs (designated as the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, respectively). The Regular Certificates and the Class EC Regular Interests will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

There are also (i) 14 classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this Agreement (designated as the Class XX-0, Xxxxx XX-0, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-AB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LH Interests), each of which will constitute a class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Lower-Tier Residual Interest, which will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

The Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent both the Lower-Tier Residual Interest and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest.

The parties intend that (i) the portion of the Trust Fund representing the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class EC Specific Grantor Trust Assets, any Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets and the proceeds of the foregoing will be treated as assets of a grantor trust under subpart E of Part I of subchapter J of the Code and (ii) the beneficial interests in such grantor trust will be represented by the Class A-S Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class EC Certificates and any Excess Interest Certificates.

GRANTOR TRUST

The portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class EC Specific Grantor Trust Assets and any Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes.

The Class EC Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Class EC Specific Grantor Trust Assets. The Class C Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets. The Excess Interest Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of any Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that

-3-

would cause the Grantor Trust to either (i) lose its status as a “grantor trust” or (ii) be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

The following table sets forth the Class designation, the approximate initial Pass-Through Rate and the Original Certificate Balance for each Class of Exchangeable Certificates representing a beneficial ownership interest in one or more of the Class EC Regular Interests:

(e)           the related Mortgagor consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment or debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to such Mortgagor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(f)           the related Mortgagor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

provided, however, that a Serviced Loan will cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan, when a Liquidation Event has occurred with respect to such Serviced Loan or any related REO Property or, so long as at such time no circumstance identified in clauses (a) through (g) above exists that would cause the Serviced Loan to continue to be characterized as a Specially Serviced Loan, when:

(w)          with respect to the circumstances described in clause (a) of this definition, the related Mortgagor has made three consecutive full and timely Monthly Payments under the terms of such Serviced Loan (as such terms may be changed or modified in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related Mortgagor or

-119-

by reason of a modification, extension, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement);

The Special Servicer may conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s determination and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred giving rise to a Serviced Loan’s becoming a Specially Serviced Loan. If any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, then the related Serviced Companion Loan shall also become a Specially Serviced Loan.

The Stated Principal Balance of a Serviced Loan Combination (including an REO Loan Combination), as of any date of determination, shall equal the sum of the then Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) and the related Serviced Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan).

(i)            For purposes of calculating Pass-Through Rates and distributions on, and allocations of Realized Losses to, the Certificates, as well as for purposes of calculating the Servicing Fee, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, Operating Advisor Fee and Asset Representations Reviewer Fee payable each month, each REO Property (including any REO

-133-

Property with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan held pursuant to an Outside Servicing Agreement) will be treated as if the related Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan(s) had remained outstanding and the related Loan Documents continued in full force and effect; and all references to “Mortgage Loan,” “Mortgage Loans” or “Mortgage Pool” in this Agreement, when used in that context, will be deemed to also be references to or to also include, as the case may be, any REO Mortgage Loan, and all references to “Companion Loan” or “Companion Loans” in this Agreement, when used in that context, will be deemed to also be references to or to also include, as the case may be, any REO Companion Loan. Each REO Loan will generally be deemed to have the same characteristics as its actual predecessor Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, including the same fixed Mortgage Rate (and, accordingly, the same Net Mortgage Rate) and the same unpaid principal balance and Stated Principal Balance. Amounts due on the predecessor Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, including any portion of those amounts payable or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, will continue to be “due” in respect of the REO Loan; and amounts received in respect of the related REO Property, net of payments to be made, or reimbursements to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for payments previously advanced, in connection with the operation and management of that property, generally will be applied by the Master Servicer as if received on the predecessor Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable.

Section 1.03          Certain Constructions. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the most or next most subordinate Class of Certificates or Class EC Regular Interests outstanding at any time shall mean the most or next most subordinate Class of Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest then outstanding as among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the most subordinate Class of Certificates, in the event that the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates are the only Classes of Principal Balance Certificates outstanding, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class X-A Certificates together will be treated as the most subordinate Class of Certificates. For purposes of this Agreement, each Class of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates and, for purposes of receiving Yield Maintenance Charges, the Class X-A Certificates) and Class EC Regular Interest shall be deemed to be outstanding only to the extent its respective Certificate Balance or Notional Amount has not been reduced to zero. For purposes of this Agreement, the Class R Certificates shall be deemed to be outstanding so long as the Trust REMICs have not been terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

(b)          For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

(i)            the terms defined in this Agreement include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;

-134-

(ii)           references herein to “Articles”, “Sections”, “Subsections”, “Paragraphs” and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement;

(iii)          a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions;

(iv)         the words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “hereto”, “hereby” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; and

(v)           the terms “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration.

Section 2.01          Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.

(a)           The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby establish a trust to be designated as Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2016-GC36, appoint the Trustee to serve as trustee of such trust and assign, sell, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) in trust without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in, to and under (i) the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, (ii) Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 (other than Section 5(e), 5(f), 5(g), 5(h) (insofar as it relates to the delivery of the subject certification to the Depositor) and 5(m) (insofar as the indemnity relates to the failure in clause (ii) of such section 5(m)), 6 (other than Section 6(i) and Section 6(j)), (and to the extent related to the foregoing) 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 23 of each Loan Purchase Agreement, (iii) the SMC Guaranty, (iv) each Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and (v) all Escrow Accounts, Lock-Box Accounts and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such assignment includes all interest and principal received or receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest and other amounts due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date and excluding any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans). Such assignment of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is further subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. The transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is absolute and, notwithstanding Section 12.08 of this Agreement, is intended by the parties to constitute a sale.

(b)           In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, the Depositor shall direct each Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the related

-135-

Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and deposit with (or to cause to be delivered to and deposited with) the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan, with copies (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) to be delivered, within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, to the Master Servicer; provided, however, that copies of any document in the Mortgage File that also constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) on or before the Closing Date. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the document delivery requirements of the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to letters of credit (exclusive of those relating to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall hold the original (or copy, if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect an assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Trustee (in care of the Master Servicer) for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, to the extent required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Loan Documents)) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied any delivery requirements of the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering with respect to any letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian together with an Officer’s Certificate of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that such document has been delivered to the Master Servicer or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to this Section 2.01(b). If a letter of credit referred to in the previous sentence is not in a form that would allow the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Loan Documents, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver the appropriate assignment or amendment documents (or copies of such assignment or amendment documents if the related Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Master Servicer within 90 days of the Closing Date. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property that is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the related Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under

-136-

the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, within 45 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor for the transfer or assignment of such comfort letter or issuance of a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter), with a copy of such notice or request to the Custodian (who shall include such document in the related Mortgage File) and the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter), and the Master Servicer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt thereof, deliver the original of such replacement comfort letter, new document or acknowledgement, as applicable, to the Custodian for inclusion in the Mortgage File.

After the Depositor’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), the Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.

(c)          The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement that it shall record and file, or cause a third party on its behalf to record and file, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, in the appropriate public recording office for real property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases referred to in clause (4) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and each related UCC-3 assignment referred to in clause (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, in each case in favor of the Trustee. This subsection (c) shall not apply to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan because the documents referred to herein have been assigned to the related Outside Trustee.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the related Loan Purchase Agreement as to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), that if it cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (2), (3) and (6) (if recorded) and (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, a copy of the original certified by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording, shall be forwarded to the Custodian. Each assignment referred to in the prior paragraph that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC-3 assignment referred to in the previous paragraph shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, in which case the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded/filed original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall obtain and provide to the Custodian a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof.

-137-

If the Custodian has received written notice that any of the aforementioned assignments is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the Custodian shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement) promptly to prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect or cause such defect to be cured, as the case may be, and to record or file, or with respect to any assignments that a third party on the Mortgage Loan Seller’s behalf has agreed to record or file as described above, to deliver to such third party the substitute or corrected document.

(d)          In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, except with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and deposit with (or cause to be delivered to and deposited with) the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date: (i) a copy of the Mortgage File; (ii) all documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Mortgage File that (A) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan(s), (B) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including any asset summaries related to the Mortgage Loans that were delivered to the Rating Agencies in connection with the rating of the Certificates) or any related Serviced Companion Loans or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans or holders of interests therein, and (C) are in possession or under control of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; and (iii) all unapplied Escrow Payments and reserve funds in the possession or under control of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, together with a statement indicating which Escrow Payments and reserve funds are allocable to each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loan; provided that copies of any document in the Mortgage File and any other document, record or item referred to above in this sentence that, in each case, constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other related Mortgage Loan Seller communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data, or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations. The Master Servicer shall hold all such documents, records and funds on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, insofar as they also relate to a Serviced Companion Loan, on behalf of and for the benefit of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(d) shall not apply to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans. In addition, each Mortgage Loan Seller is required, pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, to provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to its Mortgage Loans for (i) the CREFC® Financial File and the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File that are required to be prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Supplemental Servicer Schedule.

(e)          In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver, and hereby represents and warrants that it has delivered, to the Custodian and the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, a fully executed original

-138-

counterpart of each Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.

(f)            With respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold the related Mortgage File for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s).

(g)           The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree, with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, that the Trust assumes the obligations and rights of the holder of each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan under the respective Co-Lender Agreement and/or Outside Servicing Agreement.

(h)           It is not intended that this Agreement create a partnership or a joint-stock association.

(i)            The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each Loan Purchase Agreement provides that: (1) within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is required to deliver or cause to be delivered the Diligence File for each of its Mortgage Loans to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence Files to the Designated Site; and (2) promptly upon completion of such delivery of the Diligence Files (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to provide to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Controlling Class Representative, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor an officer’s certificate signed by such Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that the electronic copies of the documents and information uploaded to the Designated Site constitute all documents and information required under the definition of “Diligence File” and such Diligence Files are organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably requested by the Depositor (the “Diligence File Certification”). The Depositor shall have no responsibility for determining whether any Diligence Files delivered to it are complete and shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver a Diligence File (or a complete Diligence File) to the Depositor.

Section 2.02          Acceptance by the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.

(a)          The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt, directly or through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(f) of this Agreement. With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Serviced

-139-

Companion Loan in such Loan Combination in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.

(b)          On or about the 60^th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90^th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Sections 2.01(c), 2.02(c) and 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Loan Purchase Agreements, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit N to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser (and upon request, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification, which exception report shall also be available in electronic format (including Excel-compatible format) upon request): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the related Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with the related Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents (together with any Loan Agreement that has been delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller), the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv) and (v)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if the original of such document is not in the Custodian’s possession because it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. In addition, as it relates to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, with respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” because the original of such document will not be in the Custodian’s possession since it will have been delivered to the Outside Trustee in accordance

-140-

with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. If the Custodian’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver a comparable certification to any party hereto, the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and any Underwriter and any Initial Purchaser on request.

(c)          It is acknowledged that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(d)          The parties hereto hereby agree that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received, appear regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, and such review is in no way intended to, nor shall it be used to, verify the content of any collateral descriptions included in any data tapes and shall not otherwise directly or indirectly be reflected in any offering document. Any review of the Mortgage Files by the Custodian and any certification with respect thereto is not intended to, and shall not be deemed by the parties to this Agreement to, constitute “due diligence services” or a “third party due diligence report” as such terms are defined in Rule 17g-10 and 15Ga-2, respectively, under the Exchange Act. Any recipient of the Custodian’s certification or a copy thereof by its receipt thereof is deemed to agree, and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees, that it shall not share such certification with any NRSRO or any party not addressed on such certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.02(d) shall relieve any party to this Agreement from its obligation to deliver information to the Rating Agencies as required under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)          If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such document to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File).

Section 2.03          Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase, Substitution or Cures of Mortgage Loans for Document Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a)          If (i) any party hereto (other than the Asset Representations Reviewer) (A) discovers or receives notice alleging that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not appear to be regular on its face (each, a “Document Defect”) or (B) discovers or receives notice alleging a breach of any representation or warranty of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of the related Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”) or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Request, then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the other parties hereto, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Certificateholders therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage, then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”, as the case may be. The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall determine, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, whether a Document Defect is a Material Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Breach. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Defect, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (a) notifying such parties of the existence of such Material Defect and (b) demanding that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and in the case of the Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by SMF, with simultaneous notice to and demand on SMC, as guarantor of certain of SMF’s obligations under the SMF Loan Purchase Agreement, pursuant to the SMC Guaranty), not later than 90 days from the earlier of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s (x) discovery of, and (y) receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Defect (or, in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not later than 90 days from any party discovering such Material Defect), cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith (including, if applicable, the amount of any fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer payable pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan)) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90 day period, either (before the end of such 90-day period) (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute

-142-

Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith, all in conformity with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase or substitution (it being understood and agreed that, in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such additional 90 day period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, repurchase or substitution may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Substitution Shortfall Amount are to be wired. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-Off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. From and after the date of substitution, each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, if any, that has been substituted shall be deemed to constitute a "Mortgage Loan" hereunder for all purposes. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03(a) if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that had replaced a prior Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure (including

-143-

by the making of a Loss of Value Payment pursuant to the following paragraph) of the relevant Material Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(a), in lieu of the related Mortgage Loan Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Defect as set forth in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that such Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) on behalf of the Trust or such Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) on behalf of the Trust, are in any such case able to agree upon a cash payment payable by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trust that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Trust for such Material Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), such Mortgage Loan Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Trust, and the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.06(c) of this Agreement; provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer’s agreement with a Mortgage Loan Seller as to any Loss of Value Payment shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan). In connection with obtaining the Special Servicer’s approval, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer, but in any event within the time frame and in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 3.22(a), with a copy of the Servicing File for such Mortgage Loan in order to enable the Special Servicer to exercise its approval right. Any agreement by the Special Servicer with a Mortgage Loan Seller as to any Loss of Value Payment with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan). The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. Upon its making such Loss of Value Payment, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided that such Loss of Value Payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders or the Trust regarding any such Material Defect in respect of which such Loss of Value Payment is accepted, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”), (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Defect as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Defect as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect, as applicable:

-144-

(A)          the related Mortgage Loan Seller (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s repurchase or replacement of only the Mortgage Loan(s) as to which a Material Defect has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(a) (i) will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding and (ii) will not result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code); and

(B)          each of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Mortgage Loan Seller were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:

(1)          the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus and (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement;

(2)          the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and

(3)          either (x) the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group will not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group or (y) the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans have been modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement and that removes any threat of impairment of the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group as a result of the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group.

-145-

The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error on the Certificateholders, other parties to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (B)(2) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).

With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the second preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee. If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. All other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.

To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute (pursuant to a limited power of attorney provided by the Trustee that enables the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Loan Documents that complies with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any of its agents or subcontractors. The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph and the first, second and third preceding paragraphs, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase

-146-

Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or should not be effected as determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Special Servicer shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Depositor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (unless it is the entity that has repurchased or replaced the subject Mortgage Loan or rejected such Repurchase Request), and the Certificate Administrator (unless it is the party that notified the Special Servicer thereof).

Each notice of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan and the Person making the Repurchase Request, (ii) the date that the Repurchase Communication regarding the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of Rule 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a Repurchase Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan) and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication regarding [a “Repurchase

-147-

Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2016-GC36 Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-GC36, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [Repurchase Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.

No Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) is so provided only to assist the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) by a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.

On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall, upon request, deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each Loan Purchase Agreement and the SMC Guaranty, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.

(b)          Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

(c)          In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each

-148-

tender to the applicable repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the applicable repurchasing entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing File), and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution have been satisfied. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property (including with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in connection with the repurchase of, or substitution for, an REO Mortgage Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or any of its agents or subcontractors. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the related Loan Purchase Agreement provides that in the event a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and to the Master Servicer all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan possessed by it and a certification to the effect that such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies all of the requirements of the definition of "Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan" in this Agreement.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the related Loan Purchase Agreement provides that if any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule (as such term is defined in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to reflect the removal of any deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule (as such term is defined in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to the parties to this Agreement. Upon any substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a deleted Mortgage Loan, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

(d)          The related Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the SMC Guaranty provide the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan. For purposes of this Agreement, the purchase, replacement or payment of any Loss of Value Payment by SMC, on behalf of SMF, of or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for

-149-

which SMF is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed a purchase, replacement or payment of Loss Value Payment, as applicable, by SMF.

(e)          The parties to this Agreement acknowledge, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, that the related Loan Purchase Agreement provides that if a “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Outside Servicing Agreement) exists under the related Outside Servicing Agreement with respect to the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan included in the related Outside Securitization Trust, and such Outside Serviced Companion Loan is repurchased by or on behalf of the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) from such Outside Securitization Trust as a result of such “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in such Outside Servicing Agreement), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to repurchase such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Outside Servicing Agreement) related solely to the promissory note for such Outside Serviced Companion Loan.

(f)          (i)  In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”), such party shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the Enforcing Servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement.

(ii)          In the event that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) determines that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, or has knowledge of a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, then such party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to the Enforcing Servicer identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request”). The Enforcing Servicer shall promptly forward such PSA Party Repurchase Request to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement. Subject to subsections (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k) of this Section 2.03, the Enforcing Servicer shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to each Repurchase Request. The Enforcing Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the Mortgage Loan Sellers under the Loan Purchase Agreements (including, without limitation, obligations resulting from a Material Defect) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Purchase Agreements. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in such form, to such extent and at such time as the Enforcing Servicer would require were it, in its individual capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage Loan, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any costs incurred by the Enforcing Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be Servicing

-150-

Advances, to the extent not recovered from the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Requesting Certificateholder.

(iii)          In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described in Section 2.03(g) below shall apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related Mortgage Loan Seller in a commercially reasonable manner. The fact that a Repurchase Request has been Resolved pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of “Resolved” shall not preclude the Enforcing Servicer from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the related Loan Purchase Agreement or as provided by law.

(g)          (i)  After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or by a party to this Agreement), the Enforcing Servicer shall send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the Certificate Administrator (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx) who shall make such notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but a Requesting Certificateholder does not agree with the course of action selected by the Enforcing Servicer and, in the case of clause (a) or (b), a Requesting Certificateholder wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, if any, then a Requesting Certificateholder may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice was posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration.

(ii)          If no Requesting Certificateholder delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, then no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 6.09.

(iii)          Promptly and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from a Requesting Certificateholder, the Enforcing Servicer shall consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding

-151-

such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer shall be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than five (5) Business Days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

(iv)          If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Holder.

(v)          If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If more than one Requesting Certificateholder timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders shall collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders shall be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration (including whether to refer the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration). If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer will take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Loan Purchase Agreement, and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party obligated and entitled to determine a course of action including, but not limited to, enforcing the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

(vi)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(g) shall not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the

-152-

sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

(vii)       In the event a Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the related Mortgage Loan Seller as further described herein.

(viii)      For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller nor any of their respective affiliates shall be entitled to be a Requesting Certificateholder.

(ix)         The Requesting Certificateholders are entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration with respect to a Repurchase Request in their sole discretion; provided, however, no Requesting Certificateholder shall be entitled to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful, and no other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall be entitled to elect either arbitration or mediation in the event a mediation or arbitration is undertaken with respect to such Repurchase Request.

(h)         If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

(i)          The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation organization selected by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

(ii)         The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential qualified mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)        Prior to accepting an appointment, the mediator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)       The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within 10 Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days thereafter.

-153-

(v)         The expenses of any mediation shall be allocated among the parties to the mediation including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and the Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

(vi)        Out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Master or the Special Servicer for mediation or arbitration, to the extent not agreed to be paid by the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of mediation) or allocated to the Enforcing Party or another party (in the case of arbitration), shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Advance.

(i)          If the Enforcing Party selects third-party arbitration, the following provisions will apply:

(i)          The arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration organization selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

(ii)         The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation, and if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)        Prior to accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

(iv)       After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than 10 Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(v)        Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness

-154-

depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi)        The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice at the Prime Rate. In its final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii)       By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party is waiving its right to xxx in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(viii)      No person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.

(j)          The following provisions will apply to both mediation and third-party arbitration:

(i)          Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York unless another location is agreed by all parties;

(ii)         If the dispute involves a matter that cannot effectively be remedied by the payment of damages, or if there be any dispute relating to arbitration or the arbitrators that cannot be resolved promptly by the arbitrators or the Arbitration Services Provider, then any party in such instance may during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings seek temporary equitable remedies, pending the final decision of the arbitration panel, solely by application in the Southern District of New York if such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction, or if the Southern District of New York has no jurisdiction, then the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

(iii)        The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.03, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve any Repurchase Request, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any

-155-

mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 2.03). Such information will be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or shared with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 2.03), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient shall promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

(iv)        In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding shall be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and only if an Excluded Mortgage Loan is not involved) and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party shall be paid to the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

(v)         In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Certificateholder is required to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

(vi)        The Trust (or the Enforcing Servicer or the Trustee, acting on its behalf), the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller shall be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, however, that the Certificateholders shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent provided in Section 5.07.

(vii)       For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration or to participate in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the

-156-

Special Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan (including without limitation, a liquidation, foreclosure, negotiation of a loan modification or workout, acceptance of a discounted pay off or deed-in-lieu, or bankruptcy or other litigation) or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Holder.

(viii)      Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration shall be reimbursable as expenses of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be solely liable for the servicing fees of any Sub-Servicer retained by it without regard to whether the Master Servicer's or the Specials Servicer’s, as applicable, compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay those fees. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide a copy of each Sub-Servicing Agreement (and any assignment thereof) entered into by it to the Trustee. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed by the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or by any successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02. A Sub-Servicer may be an affiliate of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the related Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and only if an Excluded Mortgage Loan is not involved), except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans and/or Serviced Loan Combinations involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such Sub-Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.01(d) of this Agreement and no provision herein may be construed so as to require the Trust Fund to indemnify any such Sub-Servicer.

As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each of its Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d)          If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer

-174-

or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement. In such event, the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer or the successor Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, interest therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, except that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable.

In the event that the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon request of the Trustee, or such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall at its own expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records relating to any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use its reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Sub-Servicing Agreement to the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable.

(e)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Serviced Loan Combination is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder under the related Co-Lender Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to such Serviced Loan Combination to the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder; (iii) any consultation, consent and Special Servicer appointment rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative; (iv) any right of a related Companion Loan Holder to cure certain defaults under the related Serviced Loan Combination; and (v) any right of a related Companion Loan Holder to purchase the related Split Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund (together with any other related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, if applicable). With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer (if such Serviced Loan Combination is a Performing Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if such Serviced Loan Combination has become a Specially Serviced Loan or the related Mortgaged Property has been converted to an REO Property) shall prepare and provide to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf, all notices, reports, statements and communications to be delivered by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement, and shall perform all duties and obligations to be performed by a servicer and perform all servicing-related duties and obligations to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

-175-

Furthermore, to the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Co-Lender Agreement for a Serviced Loan Combination are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Co-Lender Agreement with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the terms of such Co-Lender Agreement shall control with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) at no time shall the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any P&I Advance on any Companion Loan and (b) if the Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property) that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination is no longer part of the Trust Fund, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have any obligation to make any Property Advance on such Serviced Loan Combination. If pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Master Servicer does not intend to make a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination that the Master Servicer would have made if the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property were still part of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan of its intention to no longer make such Property Advances and shall additionally promptly notify such holder of any required Property Advance it would have otherwise made upon becoming aware of the need for such Property Advance. Additionally, at the time the Mortgage Loan relating to a Serviced Loan Combination is removed from the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer of any securitization of the related Serviced Companion Loan) (i) a copy of the most recent inspection report and the inspection report for the prior calendar year, (ii) copies of all financial statements collected from the related borrower for the most recent calendar year and the prior calendar year, (iii) a copy of the most recent Appraisal and any other Appraisal done in the prior year and (iv) a copy of all tax and insurance bills for the current calendar year and the prior calendar year.

(g)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Outside Serviced Companion Loan related to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement and the rights of the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer with respect thereto under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. The parties further recognize the respective rights and obligations of the related Outside Trustee and/or the Outside Serviced Companion Loan Holders (or the representatives thereof) under each respective Co-Lender Agreement including with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of an Outside Serviced Loan Combination in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, in connection with the enforcement of the rights by the Trustee (as holder of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) under each related Co-Lender Agreement and each applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (under the power of attorney granted by the Trustee) shall take such actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of each Outside Serviced Companion Loan by the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate requests for release to the Custodian (if

-176-

any) in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage Files to the related Outside Servicer or related Outside Special Servicer under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement.

To the extent that the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, is entitled to (i) consent to or approve any modification, waiver or amendment of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) exercise any consultation rights with respect to “Major Decisions” or “Material Actions” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) in connection with such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property or any consultation rights with respect to the implementation of “Asset Status Reports” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), then the following parties (to the extent notified by the appropriate party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement of any matter requiring the exercise of consent, approval or consultation rights) shall actually exercise such consent, approval or consultation rights, and the respective parties to this Agreement shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to allow the following parties to exercise such consent, approval or consultation rights: (a) the Master Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is not part of a “specially serviced loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) and only to the extent that the action would be considered a Master Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is part of a “specially serviced loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) or if the action would not be considered a Master Servicer Decision) shall exercise such consent or approval rights with, in the case of a matter that would be a Major Decision, the consent of the Controlling Class Representative unless a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan, in each case in accordance with Section 3.01(i); and (b) the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan), shall exercise any such consultation rights entitled to be exercised by the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.01(i).

In addition to such consent, approval or consultation rights, the Controlling Class Representative (if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer (if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Trust, as holder of each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will have the right (exercisable in its sole discretion), to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and/or the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, to attend (in-person or telephonically) annual meetings with the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, for the purpose of discussing servicing issues related to such Outside Serviced Loan Combination. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01(g) shall not impose any affirmative duties on the Operating Advisor with respect to the Outside Serviced Loan Combinations.

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee shall have any obligation or authority to supervise any Outside Servicer, any Outside Special Servicer, any Outside Trustee or any other

-177-

party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement or to make Property Advances with respect to any of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans or a Companion Loan related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan. The obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide information to the Trustee or any other Person with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Outside Serviced Companion Loan related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on their receipt of the corresponding information from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as applicable.

(h)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Outside Serviced Loan Combination is subject to the terms and conditions of the respective Co-Lender Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the respective Co-Lender Agreement, (i) the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loans are to be serviced and administered by the related Outside Servicer and Outside Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, and (ii) in the event that the applicable Outside Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the trust fund created by the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan remains an asset of the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination shall be serviced in accordance with the applicable provisions of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Co-Lender Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding and any other requirements applicable to the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(i)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Co-Lender Agreement. With respect to each Outside Serviced Loan Combination, the parties hereto recognize the respective rights and obligations of the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination Noteholders under the related Co-Lender Agreement, including with respect to the allocation of collections and losses on or in respect of the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) and the making of payments to the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination Noteholders in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement, each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan(s) are to be serviced and administered by the related Outside Servicer and Outside Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, and that payments allocated to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement are to be made by related Outside Servicer. Although each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is not serviced and administered hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder for each such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan shall have certain duties as set forth herein and shall constitute the “Master Servicer” and “Special Servicer” hereunder with respect to each such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan.

-178-

If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any party under the related Co-Lender Agreement or the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the Collection Account. If a party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan requests the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian to consent to, or consult with respect to, a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan (except a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement or the related Co-Lender Agreement which shall not be subject to the operation of this sentence but shall instead be subject to the operation of the fourth succeeding sentence), the party hereto that receives such request shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is not part of a “specially serviced loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) and only to the extent that the action would be considered a Master Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is part of a “specially serviced loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) or if the action would not be considered a Master Servicer Decision) shall exercise such right of consent, with , in the case of a matter that would be a Major Decision, the consent of the Controlling Class Representative unless a Control Termination Event exists or the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that, if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as applicable) shall not exercise such right of consent without first having obtained such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party making such request for consent or approval if such requesting party is a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, and otherwise from the Collection Account). Any consultation rights entitled to be exercised by the holders of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan). If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian receives actual notice of a termination event under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer (in writing), and the Master Servicer shall act in accordance with the instructions of (prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement with respect to such termination event (provided that the Master Servicer shall only be required to comply with such instructions if such instructions are in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and not inconsistent with this Agreement); provided that, if such instructions are not provided within a reasonable time period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days or such lesser response time as is afforded under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) or if a Control Termination Event exists or if the Master Servicer is not permitted by the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement to follow such instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such action or inaction (to the extent permitted by the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), as directed in writing by the Holders of the Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate of all Voting Rights (such direction to be sought and communicated to the Master Servicer by the Certificate Administrator) within a reasonable period of time that does not exceed such response time as is afforded under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, during the

-179-

continuation of any termination event with respect to the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, or the Trustee in connection with such enforcement shall be paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account. If the Trustee receives a request (and, if the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator receives such request, such party shall promptly forward such request to the Trustee) from any party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee is hereby directed to, and the Trustee shall, grant such consent or approval if (a) the Trustee shall have received a prior Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (payable at the expense of the party making such request for consent or approval to the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, and otherwise from the Collection Account) with respect to such consent or approval, and (b) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have obtained the consent of the Controlling Class Representative. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer (each, a “Notifying Party”) shall each promptly forward all material notices or other communications delivered to it in connection with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement to each other Notifying Party (unless a Notifying Party has actual knowledge that such other Notifying Party (i) was copied on such original notice or communication or (ii) actually received such notice or communication), the Operating Advisor (if a Control Termination Event exists), the Controlling Class Representative (if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) and the Depositor and, if such notice or communication is in the nature of a notice or communication that would be required to be delivered to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.13) if the related Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan were a Mortgage Loan that is serviced and administered under this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.13); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to forward any such notice or communication under this provision unless (A) the Special Servicer is the only addressee of such notice or communication or (B) there is no addressee on such notice or communication. Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative and the Certificateholders with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer. Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Controlling Class Representative, in each case as and when applicable, to facilitate the exercise by such party of any consent, approval or consultation rights set forth in this Section 3.01; provided, however, the Trustee, the

-180-

Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to exercise any consent or consultation rights or obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation on behalf of the Controlling Class Representative.

For clarification, no obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect fees from the related Mortgagor will change the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay such fees from general collections or other proceeds in accordance with Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A(a) of this Agreement, whether or not such Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees are collected from or paid by the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer, with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect income statements, rent rolls and other reporting information from Mortgagors (as required under the related Loan Documents). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charges in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loan as are permitted or required under Section 3.21 of this Agreement.

(b)          If there is any ARD Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund, and if the Master Servicer receives Excess Interest directly from the related Mortgagor or through the Special Servicer, which Excess Interest was collected during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator no later than two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date by means of a clearly labeled item in the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest. The

-184-

preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement.

(c)          With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Certificate Administrator, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Operating Advisor (A) promptly following the Closing Date (and, in the case of the 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx & 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx Mortgage Loan promptly upon the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of notice of the 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx & 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx Controlling Note Securitization Date), written notice in the form of Exhibit FF attached hereto stating that, as of the Closing Date (or the 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx & 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx Controlling Note Securitization Date), the Trustee is the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement), accompanied by a copy of an executed version of this Agreement, and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer or any party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement (together with the relevant contact information). The Master Servicer shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property related to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amounts.

(d)          With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer does not receive from the related Outside Servicer any Monthly Payment or other amounts known by the Master Servicer to be owing on such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Trustee.

Section 3.04          Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

(a)          With respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, ground rents and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable

-185-

with respect thereto. From time to time, to the extent such payments are to be made from escrowed funds, the Master Servicer shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Serviced Loan. With respect to non-escrowed payments, when the Master Servicer becomes aware in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Mortgagor (other than with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) has failed to make any such payment or, with respect to escrowed loans, collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may in accordance with the Servicing Standard elect (but is not required) to make (and in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, at the direction of the Special Servicer will be required to make) a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be a Property Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) notwithstanding that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that such a Property Advance would, if advanced, be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, if making the payment (x) would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged 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 the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan, or (y) would remediate any adverse environmental condition or circumstance at the related Mortgaged Property, if, in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making the payment is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). If the Special Servicer makes such a determination, it shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required by Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the related Mortgage Loan requires or permits it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account) in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents) and (subject to any

-186-

changes in the identities of the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled, “KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-GC36, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and Various Mortgagors.” Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:

(i)          to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Loan Documents and in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable;

(ii)         to transfer funds to the Collection Account and/or the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii)        for application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;

(iv)        to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement;

(v)         to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor (a) any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, or otherwise to the Master Servicer and (b) any other funds required to be released to the related Mortgagors pursuant to the related Loan Documents; and

(vi)        to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein.

(c)          In the event any Loan Documents permit the lender, at the discretion of the lender, to use letters of credit and/or cash reserves to prepay the related Mortgage Loan prior to the Maturity Date and in the absence of an event of default or acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, then the Master Servicer shall hold such amounts in an Escrow Account for so long as the Loan Documents permit such discretion.

(d)          Unless required by the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall not apply any earnout escrows or reserves established with respect to any Mortgage Loan as a prepayment of such Mortgage Loan if no event of default has occurred under such Mortgage Loan.

(e)          To the extent that (i) an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Loan, or (ii) any repairs, capital

-187-

improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard (which determination may be made on the basis of inquiry to the Mortgagor and this sentence shall in no event be construed to require a physical inspection other than inspections described in Section 3.18 of this Agreement; provided that all deliveries required to be made to Master Servicer under the related Loan Documents of supporting documentation have been made; then the Master Servicer shall report the then current status as a failure) whether the related Mortgagor has failed to perform such obligations under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as of the date required under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and report any such failure to the Special Servicer, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative within a reasonable time after the date as of which such actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

Section 3.05          Collection Account; Distribution Accounts; and Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account; and Excess Interest Distribution Account.

(a)          The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account in the Master Servicer’s name on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as the Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests. The Collection Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account. Amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the Excess Interest) will be assets of the Lower Tier REMIC. As and when required under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Collection Account any amounts to be transferred thereto from a Loan Combination Custodial Account as contemplated by Section 3.06A(a)(i) of this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement in connection with net losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, within one (1) Business Day following receipt of properly identified funds, (x) all Net Liquidation Proceeds received on or with respect to a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination in connection with any of the events described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Liquidation Event” in this Agreement, and (y) without duplication, the following payments and collections received or made by it on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination):

(i)          all payments on account of principal on such Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments and the principal component of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds;

(ii)         all payments on account of interest on such Mortgage Loans (including Excess Interest);

(iii)        all Yield Maintenance Charges on such Mortgage Loans;

(iv)        all amounts with respect to any related REO Property transferred to the Collection Account, or to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, from an REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement;

-188-

(v)         all Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Condemnation and Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

(vi)        any amounts received from Mortgagors under such Mortgage Loans that represent (A) recoveries of Property Protection Expenses, (B) any recovery of Unliquidated Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loans, or (C) any other reimbursements in accordance with the related Loan Documents, in each case to the extent not permitted to be retained by the Master Servicer as provided herein;

(vii)       any Loss of Value Payments, as set forth in Section 3.06(c) of this Agreement;

(viii)      with respect to each Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on an Actual/360 Basis, any Interest Deposit Amount remitted by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 1 of the related Loan Purchase Agreement;

(ix)         any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement to be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, including pursuant to Section 2.03 and Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement;

provided, however, that to the extent any amounts referred to in clauses (x) or (y) above of this Section 3.05(a) are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees and review fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees and/or review fees received with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12 of this Agreement; provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees in excess of the percentage of such fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Section 3.12(c) (in the case of the Special Servicer), then it shall remit to the other party (i.e. the Special Servicer (if Master Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees) or the Master Servicer (if Special Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees), as applicable) the percentage of such fees to which such other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(c), as applicable. To the extent that any Penalty Charges or Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Mortgage Loan constitute servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit such fees into the Collection Account and shall instead apply such fees in accordance with Section 3.14(a)(iv) of

-189-

this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof.

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (vi) and (viii) of the last sentence of the second preceding paragraph with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property that relates to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) shall initially be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account (or, at the option of the Special Servicer, remitted by the applicable property manager directly to the Master Servicer) and thereafter remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, all in accordance with Section 3.16 of this Agreement.

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each of the Distribution Accounts shall be non-interest bearing and shall be established and maintained as Eligible Accounts or as sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account. With respect to each Distribution Date, on or before such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to make or shall make the withdrawals from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall be deemed to make the deposits into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and shall cause the amount of Available Funds (including P&I Advances) and Yield Maintenance Charges to be distributed in respect of the Certificates, pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof on such date.

(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish (upon receipt of written notice that an event that generates Excess Liquidation Proceeds has occurred) and maintain the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account shall be non-interest bearing and shall be maintained separate and apart from trust funds for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by the Certificate Administrator and other accounts of the Certificate Administrator.

-190-

Upon the disposition of any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.17 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall calculate the Excess Liquidation Proceeds, if any, realized in connection with such sale and remit to the Certificate Administrator such amount for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account. Amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on each Distribution Date that exceed amounts reasonably anticipated to be required to offset possible future Realized Losses, as determined by the Special Servicer, and all amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on the final Distribution Date, in each case after application in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(i) of this Agreement, shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Lower-Tier Residual Interest.

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Exchangeable Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates. The Exchangeable Distribution Account shall be non-interest bearing and shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account or as a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Certificate Administrator shall make or be deemed to have made deposits in and withdrawals from the Exchangeable Distribution Account in accordance with Article IV of this Agreement.

(e)          Prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately following the end of the first Collection Period during which Excess Interest is received on any ARD Mortgage Loan, and upon notification from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Excess Interest Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates (if applicable). The Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be non-interest bearing and shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account (or as a subaccount of an Eligible Account). With respect to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the Certificate Administrator on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received during the applicable Collection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are no ARD Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund and, accordingly, no Excess Interest is payable to the Trust, and any obligation to establish an Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be disregarded.

If there are any ARD Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, then the Certificate Administrator shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the Excess Interest Distribution Account to the extent required to make the distributions of Excess Interest required by Section 4.01(m) of this Agreement.

If there are any ARD Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, then following the distribution of Excess Interest to the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates on the first Distribution Date after which there are no longer any ARD Mortgage Loans outstanding, the Certificate Administrator may terminate the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account may all be

-191-

sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account; provided that each of them shall be treated as a separate account for purposes of deposits and withdrawals under this Agreement.

(g)          If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Loss of Value Reserve Fund”) to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of holding such Loss of Value Payments. Each account that constitutes the Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it. The Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be accounted for as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any Trust REMIC. Furthermore, for all federal tax purposes, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) treat amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund (and any income earned thereon) through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any income earned on the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and paid to the Special Servicer as additional compensation) as damages paid to and distributed by the Trust REMICs on account of a breach of a representation or warranty by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust Fund to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be the beneficial owner of the related account in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.

(h)          For the avoidance of doubt, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, and the Interest Reserve Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Exchangeable Distribution Account will be owned by the Grantor Trust, and the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

Section 3.05A.          Loan Combination Custodial Account.

(a)          The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination (if any), one or more separate accounts, which may be sub-accounts of a single account (with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the “Loan Combination Custodial Account”) in which the amounts described in clauses (i) through (viii) below shall be deposited and held in the name of the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear; provided that a Loan Combination Custodial Account may be a sub-account of the Collection Account or another Loan Combination Custodial Account (but shall be deemed to be a separate account for purposes of applying the terms of this Agreement). Each of the Loan Combination Custodial Accounts shall be an Eligible Account or a subaccount of an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in each Loan Combination Custodial Account, within one Business Day following receipt of properly identified funds (or, in the case of payments by the Master Servicer, when otherwise required to be so deposited

-192-

under this Agreement), the following payments and collections received or made by it on or with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination:

(i)          all payments on account of principal on the related Serviced Loan Combination, including Principal Prepayments and the principal component of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds;

(ii)         all payments on account of interest on the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iii)        all Yield Maintenance Charges on the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iv)       any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement in connection with net losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in such Loan Combination Custodial Account;

(v)        all amounts with respect to any REO Property acquired in respect of the related Serviced Loan Combination transferred to such Loan Combination Custodial Account, or the Master Servicer for deposit in such Loan Combination Custodial Account, from the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement;

(vi)       all Net Condemnation Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination (other than any Net Liquidation Proceeds received on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan in connection with any of the events described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Liquidation Event” in this Agreement);

(vii)       any amounts received from the Mortgagor under the related Serviced Loan Combination that represent (A) recoveries of Property Protection Expenses, or (B) any other reimbursements in accordance with the related Loan Documents, in each case to the extent not permitted to be retained by the Master Servicer as provided herein; and

(viii)      any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement to be deposited into such Loan Combination Custodial Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, including any recovery of any Unliquidated Advances;

provided, however, that, subject to the immediately following proviso, to the extent any such amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof; and provided, further, that, the immediately preceding proviso shall not apply to any such amounts received on the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deposit any such amounts received on the Determination Date into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof.

-193-

(b) The foregoing requirements for deposits in each Loan Combination Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees and review fees need not be deposited in such Loan Combination Custodial Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees, defeasance fees and/or review fees received with respect to the Serviced Loan Combinations in accordance with Section 3.12 of this Agreement; provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees in excess of the percentage of such fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Section 3.12(c) (in the case of the Special Servicer), then it shall remit to the other party (i.e. the Special Servicer (if Master Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees) or the Master Servicer (if Special Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees), as applicable) the percentage of such fees to which such other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(c), as applicable. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit any Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination into the related Loan Combination Custodial Account and shall instead apply such fees (except to the extent not permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement) in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in a Loan Combination Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Loan Combination Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of each Loan Combination Custodial Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof. Each Loan Combination Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated account (or sub-account of such segregated account), separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage backed securities of other series and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.

(ix) to clear and terminate such Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement.

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan-by-Companion Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from each Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to subclauses (i) - (ix) above.

The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such written statement and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts stated therein. The parties seeking payment pursuant to this Section shall each keep and maintain separate accounting for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from each Loan Combination Custodial Account, on a loan-by-loan basis.

The Trustee, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of the Servicing Fees (including investment income), or Special Servicing Compensation, Advances, Advance Interest Amounts and their respective indemnity amounts or expenses hereunder to the extent such fees, indemnity amounts and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in such Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement (and to have such amounts paid directly to third party contractors for any invoices approved by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees nor the Operating Advisor Fee shall be paid from funds on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account.

After the Determination Date, and on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date, in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month and were not available for any earlier transfer to the Collection Account in such calendar month), the Master Servicer shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account all amounts on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to the Trust pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan), including any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount; and on the Business Day immediately following the Determination Date in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month), the Master Servicer shall remit to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder all amounts on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to such Serviced Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan), exclusive of any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount, in each case, prior to the required remittance from the Collection Account to the Certificate

Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on such Master Servicer Remittance Date.

Section 3.07 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO Account, the Mortgagor Accounts, and Other Accounts.

(a) The Master Servicer, or with respect to any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any Mortgagor Account (subject to the second succeeding sentence), any REO Account or any Loss of Value Reserve Fund (each of the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any REO Account, any Loss of Value Reserve Fund and any Mortgagor Account, for purposes of this Section 3.07, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the case of any Escrow Account or Lock-Box Account (the “Mortgagor Accounts”), the Master Servicer shall invest the funds in such Mortgagor Accounts in accordance with the express terms of the related Loan Documents and shall, in the absence of such express terms, act upon the written request of the related Mortgagor or Manager to the extent the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or related documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related Mortgagor or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to, but will be entitled to, direct the investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee or a nominee of the Trustee (in each case for the benefit of the Certificateholders). The Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders) shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which shall initially be the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders). Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Special Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Master Servicer, any Mortgagor or any property manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or the Special

-206-

Servicer in the case of REO Accounts and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund), shall: (x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account. Amounts on deposit in each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account (each, a “Certificate Administrator Account”) shall remain uninvested.

(b) All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer, except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Mortgagor Account to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law to be for the benefit of the related Mortgagor or (ii) any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer, and if held in the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or an REO Account, shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06, Section 3.06A or Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer) shall deposit from its own funds into any applicable Investment Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss (except with respect to losses incurred as a result of the related Mortgagor or Manager exercising its power under the related Loan Documents to direct such investment in such Mortgagor Account); provided, however, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Mortgagor Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested for the benefit of the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer (in their respective capacities as Master Servicer and Special Servicer, respectively) shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account 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 Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company is not the Person or an Affiliate of the Person maintaining such account hereunder and satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (1) at the time such investment was made and (2) as of the date that is 30 days prior to the insolvency.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interests of any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Trustee

-207-

takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith. In the event that the Trustee does not take any such action, the Master Servicer may, but is not obligated to, take such action at its own cost and expense.

Section 3.08 Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

(a) The Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default), and if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and to the extent the Trustee as mortgagee of record has an insurable interest and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates), (i) fire and hazard insurance (and windstorm insurance, if applicable) with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the then “full replacement cost” of the improvements and equipment (excluding foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for physical depreciation, and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan or such greater amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of the application of co-insurance provisions and to prevent the Trustee thereunder from being deemed to be a co-insurer and provided such policy shall include a “replacement cost” rider, (ii) insurance providing coverage against 18 months (or such longer period or with such extended period endorsement as provided in the related Mortgage or other Loan Document) of rent interruptions and (iii) such other insurance as is required in the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan. Subject to Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), shall cause to be maintained for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Loan Documents (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default); provided that to the extent the Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”, the Master Servicer may, without a Rating Agency Confirmation or the approval of the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer that does not meet the requirements of the Loan Documents so long as the related Mortgagor maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”. All insurance for an REO Property shall be from a Qualified Insurer, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents) shall be deposited into

-208-

the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement or the Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A of this Agreement, as applicable, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, Section 3.05A, Section 3.06 or Section 3.06A of this Agreement. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance other than flood insurance or earthquake insurance subject to the conditions set forth below is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Master Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the related Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property and other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Serviced Loan, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and as is available for the related property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such property is located is participating in such program). If a Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property) is related to a Serviced Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance is required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain will itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and for so long as such insurance continues to be available at commercially reasonable rates) and maintain earthquake insurance in respect thereof, in the amount required by the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, if not specified, in-place at origination. If an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or (ii) is related to a Serviced Loan with respect to which earthquake insurance would be appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, the Special Servicer will obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance and/or earthquake insurance in respect thereof providing the same coverage as described in this Section 3.08(a). Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer with interest at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to REO Properties) agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, claims under each related insurance policy maintained by it pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery thereunder. All insurance policies required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall name the Trustee or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on

-209-

behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee, as loss payee, and shall be issued by Qualified Insurers, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property and the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any REO Property, in each case unless such insurance is required to be maintained under the related Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy required under the related Loan Documents if the originator of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination waived compliance with such insurance requirements (and if the applicable Master Servicer does not cause the Mortgagor to maintain or does not itself maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall have the right, but not the duty, to obtain, at the Trust’s expense, earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property so long as such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates); (B) with respect to the Master Servicer’s obligation to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any Mortgagor to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Loan Documents; and (C) in making determinations as to the availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, be entitled to rely, at its own expense, on insurance consultants in making such determination and any such determinations by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, need not be made more frequently than annually but in any event shall be made at the approximate date on which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives notice of the renewal, replacement or cancellation of coverage.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be required to maintain, and shall not cause a Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to obtain, all risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve out for terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if, the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the failure to maintain such insurance is an Acceptable Insurance Default; provided that, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating such insurance hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination under this paragraph.

(b) (i)  If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties (other than REO Properties and other than Mortgaged Properties that secure the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) as to which the related Mortgagor has not maintained insurance required by the related Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, related Serviced Loan Combination (other than any Mortgagor that is required under the related Loan Documents to

-210-

maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer” that maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”) or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the REO Properties (other than REO Properties acquired in respect of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), as required under this Agreement, as the case may be, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Any such blanket insurance policy shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer. A blanket insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and (ii) 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 Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, agree to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholder and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery thereunder.

(ii) If the Master Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property (other than any REO Property and other than any Mortgaged Property that secures an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer causes any REO Property (other than an REO Property acquired in respect of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) to be covered by a master force placed insurance policy and such policy shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer and provide no less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii) 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 Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan(s) related thereto, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

-211-

(iii) In either case, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Advance. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an insurance policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.

(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each obtain and maintain in effect a fidelity bond or similar form of insurance coverage (which may provide blanket coverage) or a combination of fidelity bond and insurance coverage, in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts that are consistent with the Servicing Standard, insuring against loss occasioned by fraud, theft or other intentional misconduct of the officers and employees of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations to service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Companion Loans hereunder in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may self insure for the fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverge otherwise required above (and may, but shall not be obligated to, further self insure against loss occasioned by errors and omissions of agents of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be), so long as the long-term unsecured debt rating or deposit account rating of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not in any event less than “A3” as rated by Xxxxx’x and “A-” as rated by Fitch. The Master Servicer shall cause each and every Sub-Servicer it has engaged to maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent or contractor servicing any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of such Sub-Servicer, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which satisfy the requirements for the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions policy to be maintained by the Master Servicer to comply with the foregoing. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.08(c) shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.

(d) Each of the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.

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

(a) Upon receipt of any request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, except in the case of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, (i) the Master Servicer shall, with respect to Performing Serviced Loans, (A) promptly review and analyze such request, including the preparation of written materials in connection with such analysis and (B) if the Master Servicer determines that approval of such request is favorable, promptly provide a copy of such request and its written recommendation and analysis to the Special Servicer with all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to approve or disapprove such request, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, promptly review and analyze such request, including the preparation of written materials in connection with such analysis. If following its receipt of a request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision and the review, analysis and/or recommendation, as applicable, set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans and with the Special Servicer’s consent), as applicable, has determined, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver or consent in respect of such due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, then the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, shall process and close the related transaction, subject to the consultation and/or consent rights (if any) of the related Directing Holder or the consultation rights of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) as provided in this Section 3.09(a) and as otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, and subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.21, 3.24, 3.25 and Section 3.28; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in (i) the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or (ii) create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. With respect to Performing Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer or, in the case of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, each in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and each on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Loan Documents on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers or further encumbrances of interests in the related Mortgagor, unless following its receipt of a request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given if not denied within 15 Business Days (or such other time as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement, but in no event less than 5 Business Days after the time period set forth in such Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Companion Loan Holder) after the Special Servicer’s receipt (unless earlier objected to) of the written recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer for such action and any additional information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may

-213-

reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver of such restrictions or granting of consent would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Promptly after the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer to the extent required in the preceding sentence) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made any determination to grant a waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other party to this Agreement and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such Officer’s Certificate shall be required to be delivered if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is granting consent to an assumption pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents and there is no material waiver of any conditions or any other provisions of the related Loan Documents with respect thereto. With respect to all Serviced Mortgage Loans and each Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall, prior to consenting to a proposed action of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09 that constitutes a Major Decision, and prior to itself taking such an action, obtain the written consent of the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) or the Controlling Class Representative (if any other Serviced Loan(s) (exclusive of any Excluded Mortgage Loan(s)) are involved and a Control Termination Event does not exist), as applicable, which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by such related Directing Holder of the written recommendation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such action and any additional information the related Directing Holder may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the related Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-encumbrance” provision unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action or (2) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 2% of the aggregate principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $20,000,000, (C) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt), (D) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan (if applicable) and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and (E) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). Further, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” provision unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request

pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action or (2) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 5% of the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (C) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). For the purposes of this Agreement, due-on-sale provisions shall include, without limitation, sale or transfers of Mortgaged Properties, in full or in part, or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in any Mortgagor or its owner, to the extent prohibited under the related Loan Documents, and due-on-encumbrance provisions shall include, without limitation, any mezzanine/subordinate financing of any Mortgagor or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in any Mortgagor or its owners, to the extent prohibited under the related Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall notify in writing the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement) and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement, and shall also deliver an original to the Trustee or the Custodian of the recorded agreement relating to such assumption or substitution within 15 Business Days following the execution and receipt thereof by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.09(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a)), shall deliver a Review Package to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 12.13 of this Agreement.

Further, subject to the terms of the related Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)), shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all costs in connection with any assumption or encumbrance, including any arising from seeking a Rating Agency Confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor. To the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor after the use of such efforts, any rating agency charges in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

-215-

To the extent not prohibited by the applicable Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may charge the related Mortgagor a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this subsection (a); provided that any such fee shall be applied as if it were a Modification Fee and/or Assumption Fee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Nothing in this Section 3.09 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(c) In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or the related Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement.

(d) With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) or Serviced Loan Combination which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, and to the extent consistent with the terms of the related Loan Documents:

(i) In the event such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination requires that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee purchase the required “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the Master Servicer, an accommodation Mortgagor pursuant to clause (v) below or the Mortgagor shall, at the Mortgagor’s expense (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), purchase or cause the purchase of such obligations in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and deliver to the Master Servicer, in the case of the Mortgagor, or in the case of the Master Servicer, hold the same on behalf of the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder; provided that, subject to the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Mortgagor to effect defeasance until acceptable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) have been identified, in each case which are acceptable as defeasance collateral under the then most recently published current guidelines of the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by SMF that are subject to defeasance, SMF has transferred to a third party or has retained the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and/or to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (“Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that provides for Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to SMF or SMF’s

-216-

assignee in the case of the Mortgage Loans for which SMF is the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as SMF provides written notice to the contrary, the notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which SMF is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Executive Vice President, fax number: (000) 000-0000, e-mail: xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx, with a copy to: LNR Property LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Senior Vice President, fax number: (000) 000-0000, email: xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, with a copy to: LNR Property LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel, fax number: (000) 000-0000, email: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

(ii) The Master Servicer shall require, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so require, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) to the effect that the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders has a first priority security interest in the defeasance deposit and the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), and the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable; such opinion, together with any other certificates or documents to be required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.

(iii) The Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so obtain, a certificate (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) from an Independent certified public accountant certifying that the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), comply with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or Mortgage.

(iv) To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall (at the Mortgagor’s expense) obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate to such Rating Agency substantially in the form of Exhibit DD to this Agreement for any Mortgage Loan that, at the time of such defeasance, is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.

(v) If the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination permits the related Mortgagor or the lender or its designee to cause an accommodation Mortgagor to assume such defeased obligations, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Mortgagor to, establish at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense (and shall use efforts consistent with the

-217-

Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to consent to such assumption) a special purpose bankruptcy-remote entity to assume such obligations, as to which the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator has received a Rating Agency Confirmation (if such confirmation is required pursuant to the then most recently published guidelines of the Rating Agencies).

(vi) To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. In the event that the Mortgagor is not required to pay any such costs and expenses under the terms of the Loan Documents, such costs and expenses shall be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

(vii) In no event shall the Master Servicer have liability to any party hereto or beneficiary hereof for obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation (or conditioning approval of defeasance on the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation) or for imposing conditions to approval of a defeasance on the satisfaction of conditions that are consistent with the Servicing Standard but are not required under Rating Agency guidelines (provided that this shall not protect the Master Servicer from any liability that may be imposed as a result of the violation of applicable law or the Loan Documents).

(viii) The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral any “government security,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Loan Documents; provided, that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code).

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, without any other approval or consent, the Master Servicer (for Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (for Specially Serviced Loans) may grant and process a Mortgagor’s request for consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose and may consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination to such easement, right of way or similar agreement; provided that in each case, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (i) shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not materially and adversely affect the operation or value of such Mortgaged Property or the Trust Fund’s interest in the Mortgaged Property and (ii) shall have determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making any such determination under clause (ii) above.

Section 3.10 Appraisal Reductions; Calculation and allocation of Collateral Deficiency Amounts; Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.

(a) Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to a Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an updated Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, the costs of which shall be advanced by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an updated Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such previously obtained Appraisal is materially inaccurate. With respect to any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and still exists, the Special Servicer shall obtain annual letter updates to any updated Appraisal. Any Appraisal prepared in order to determine the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination shall be delivered by the Special Servicer, upon request, to each related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

As of the first Determination Date following a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the Special Servicer that an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly request from the related Outside Servicer, Outside Special Servicer and Outside Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the Special Servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the Special Servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to this Agreement that an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party shall promptly notify the Special Servicer thereof. The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount pursuant to the definition thereof using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable written request. The Master Servicer shall assist the Special Servicer in obtaining information reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in the event that the Special Servicer is unsuccessful in obtaining such information from the related Outside Servicer, Outside Special Servicer or Outside Trustee. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

-219-

The Certificate Balance of each Class of applicable Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Control Termination Event) as of any date of determination to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount(s) allocated to such Class on the preceding Distribution Date. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the following Classes of Certificates and Class EC Regular Interests in the following order of priority: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class EC Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); seventh, to the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class EC Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); eighth, to the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class EC Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); and finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates, (v) Class A-5 Certificates and (vi) Class A-AB Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Balances (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). In addition, as of any date of determination for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the Collateral Deficiency Amounts shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of each Class of the Control Eligible of Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; and fourth, to the Class E Certificates (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates shall be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which shall constitute the applicable Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount), in accordance with the preceding two sentences.

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates and with respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class or the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis.

The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and Master Servicer of the determination of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount, (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount, and (iii) any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, on the Certificate Administrator’s website.

Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated, first, to any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (up to the outstanding principal balance thereof), and then, to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan

-220-

and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates whose Certificate Balance is notionally reduced to less than 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that Class as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount in respect of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination, as applicable, and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser, and the Appraisal must be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable.

An Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until 10 days following its receipt of written notice of the determination of an Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, unless the Requesting Holders provide written notice of their intent to challenge such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10-day period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Requesting Holders provide such notice, then the Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event or receipt of written notice of a Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, unless the Requesting Holders provide the second appraisal within such 120-day period, (ii) the determination by the Special Servicer (described below) that a recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is not warranted or that such recalculation does not result in the Appraised-Out Class remaining the Controlling Class and (iii) the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event. After the Appraised-Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, the rights of the Controlling Class shall be exercised by the Class of Control Eligible Certificates immediately senior to such Appraised-Out Class, if any, unless a recalculation results in the reinstatement of the Appraised-Out Class as the Controlling Class.

In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an

-221-

“as-is” basis by an Appraiser; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on such appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties.

Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised-Out Class.

(b) In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other acquisition, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.20 of this Agreement shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure 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 Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, any related Outside Controlling Note Holder and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative.

-222-

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than any Mortgaged Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, to a co-trustee or to its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer but may be a single member limited liability company owned by the Trust and managed by the Special Servicer) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and on behalf of the holders of the Certificates and, if applicable, and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be an REO Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:

(i) such personal property is (in the good faith judgment of the Special Servicer) incident to real property (within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(1)) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or

(ii) the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest or other equity interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such partnership or membership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, and shall not otherwise acquire

-223-

possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, would be considered to hold title to, or 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 Person 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 Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole) 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 Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property as could be required by such law or regulation.

In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to a 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 Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

In the event that the Special Servicer seeks to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, establish a single member limited liability company with the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder as the sole owner to hold title to such Mortgaged Property.

(f) The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers

-224-

of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and, if applicable, any secured creditor impaired property policy issued on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including that the environmental assessment identify any potential pollution conditions (as defined in the environmental insurance policy) with respect to the related Mortgaged Property). The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. Copies of any environmental assessment prepared pursuant to Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be provided to the Certificateholder of any Regular Certificates and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder upon written request to the Special Servicer.

(g) If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) of this Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), 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) of this Agreement that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), 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, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan). The Master Servicer shall pay the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation from the Collection Account.

(h) The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall

-225-

Section 3.11 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian and, if affected, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder by delivery of a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund.

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall promptly release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination into an REO Property, receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

Within three (3) Business Days, after receipt of written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage or other security agreement, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of, or otherwise properly servicing, such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer or other similar party requests delivery to it of the original Note for such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, then such party shall deliver a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto

-226-

to the Custodian and the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Note to the requesting party or its designee. In connection with the release of the original Note for an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Custodian shall obtain such documentation as is appropriate to evidence the holding by the related Outside Servicer, the related Outside Special Servicer or such other similar party, as the case may be, of such original Note as custodian on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustee.

Section 3.12 Servicing Fees, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees and Special Servicing Compensation.

(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan (including the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan but excluding the Outside Serviced Companion Loans) and each Serviced Companion Loan and REO Companion Loan that is included as part of a Serviced Loan Combination and each Interest Accrual Period, to the Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination or portion thereof, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a)(iii) and Section 3.06(a)(vii) and/or Section 3.06A of this Agreement, as applicable.

-227-

that the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any amounts described in clauses (i) through (v) above as additional compensation with respect to a specific Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, with respect to which a default or event of default thereunder has occurred and is continuing unless and until such default or event of default has been cured (or has been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and all delinquent amounts required to have been paid by the Mortgagor, Advance Interest Amounts and Additional Trust Fund Expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) both (x) due with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and (y) in the case of expense items, that arose within the last 12 months, have been paid. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to, and to the extent provided for in Sections 3.06(a)(iii), Section 3.06(A) and Section 3.07(b), to withdraw from the Collection Account and the Loan Combination Custodial Accounts and to receive from any Mortgagor Accounts (to the extent not payable to the related Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or applicable law) any interest or other income earned on deposits therein. Interest or other income earned on funds in the Collection Account, Loan Combination Custodial Account and Mortgagor Accounts (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), shall be paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and interest or other income earned on funds in any REO Account shall be payable to the Special Servicer. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan to the extent such fees are permitted under the related Loan Documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Excess Modification Fee, Assumption Fee, Consent Fee or other fee with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan that is required to be split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall only apply to Performing Serviced Loans and, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, shall not prohibit any waiver or reduction by the Special Servicer of any fee payable by the Mortgagor with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan.

KeyBank National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of

-228-

the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-1 to this Agreement, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to KeyBank National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-2 to this Agreement. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. KeyBank National Association and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and KeyBank National Association hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose any information received in connection with its acquisition and holding of such Excess Servicing Fee Right in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Person then acting as the Master Servicer shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Master Servicer as Servicing Fees with respect to each related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one (1) Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it.

The Master Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), and in no event

-229-

shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights, if any, of the Master Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

(b) As compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee. The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee includes all routine expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Administrator and the Authenticating Agent. Each of the Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

(c) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan (including each Serviced Companion Loan that is included as part of each Serviced Loan Combination) in respect of each Interest Accrual Period to the Special Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination or portion thereof, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A. The Special Servicer’s rights to 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. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation (the following items, collectively, the “Additional Special Servicing Compensation”): (i) 50% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement; (ii) 100% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Specially Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement; (iii) 100% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan involving an assumption transaction ; (iv) 50% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan involving an assumption transaction consented to by the Special Servicer; (v) 100% of Ancillary Fees (other than fees for insufficient or returned checks) actually received from Mortgagors with respect to Specially Serviced Loans; (vi) 100% of assumption application fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans; (vii) 100% of Consent Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan; (viii) 50% of any Consent Fees with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer; (ix) 100% of Excess Penalty Charges paid by the Mortgagors with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside

-230-

Serviced Mortgage Loan) accrued during the period such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan; (x) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts and any Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xi) in the case of any ARD Mortgage Loan, 50% of any extension fee actually paid by the related Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgagor’s option to exercise the related Anticipated Repayment Date option pursuant to the related Loan Documents, unless the Special Servicer’s consent is not required, then 0% of any such extension fee. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or any request as to which the Special Servicer has consent rights, to the extent such fees are permitted under the related Loan Documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Excess Modification Fee, Assumption Fee, Consent Fee or other fee with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan that is required to be split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall only apply to Performing Serviced Loans and, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, shall not prohibit any waiver or reduction by the Special Servicer of any fee payable by the Mortgagor with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.

The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such 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 (other than for cause) or resigns: (1) it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combinations that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation, except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; and (2) it will receive any Workout Fees payable in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that was,

-231-

at the time of that termination or resignation, a Specially Serviced Loan 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 Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive full and timely Monthly Payments and which thereafter becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Monthly Payments, except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. In either case, the successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Liquidation Fee (other than with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) payable out of the Liquidation Proceeds prior to the deposit of the Net Liquidation Proceeds in the Collection Account or the Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable. However, no Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or in connection with, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds as set forth in the final two provisos of the definition of “Liquidation Fee” herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to receive both a Liquidation Fee and a Workout Fee with respect to any specific collections or proceeds on any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12(c), a termination and removal of the Special Servicer under Section 6.08 of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a termination without cause.

If at any time a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Workout Fee from the related Mortgagor pursuant to the related Loan Documents, including exercising all remedies available under such Loan Documents that would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the related Mortgagor.

The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Liquidation Fee with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Outside Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, the Special Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), and in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, unless otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Companion

-232-

Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights of the Special Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Special Servicing Compensation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

(d) The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the costs and expenses incurred by them in the performance of their duties under this Agreement which are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii). Such expenses shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental assessments, Appraisals in connection with foreclosure, the fees and expenses of any administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly identified as reimbursable in Section 3.06(a)(vi) of this Agreement.

(e) No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if, in the good faith business judgment of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, repayment of such funds would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments, Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination (to the extent recovery is permitted from a Serviced Loan Combination hereunder) or from adequate indemnity from other assets comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from a Mortgagor, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which would, in the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s commercially reasonable judgment or the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s good faith business judgment require the assistance of Independent legal counsel or other consultant to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless the Mortgagor or such Certificateholder or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, shall have no liability to any Person for the failure to respond to such request or inquiry.

-233-

(f)           With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two Business Days following the related Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received such information, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and within one Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, an electronic report that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period; provided, that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

(g)          The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees or rebates) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and any purchaser of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Serviced Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.12; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees or the fees received by any Person acting as an Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer as expressly provided for under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, or as master servicer or special servicer as expressly provided for under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement governing the securitization of a Serviced Companion Loan.

Section 3.13          Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment described below that is allocable to a Serviced Companion Loan) on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, an amount, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, equal to the lesser of:

(i)      the aggregate of all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with voluntary Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (in each case other than a Specially Serviced Loan or a Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan on which the Special Servicer allowed a prepayment on a date other than the applicable Due Date) for the related Distribution Date; and

(ii)     the aggregate of (A) that portion of the Master Servicer’s Servicing Fees for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and REO Loan for which such Servicing Fees are being paid in such Collection Period, calculated at a rate of 0.0025% per annum, and (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the Master Servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and, so long as a Loan Combination is serviced under this Agreement, any related Serviced Pari Passu

-234-

Companion Loan) subject to prepayment and net investment earnings on such Prepayment Interest Excesses. In no event will the rights of the Certificateholders to the offset of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls be cumulative.

If a Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs with respect to a Mortgage Loan as a result of the Master Servicer allowing the related Mortgagor to deviate (a “Prohibited Prepayment”) from the terms of the related Loan Documents regarding Principal Prepayments (other than (w) if the Mortgage Loan is an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, (x) subsequent to a default under the related Loan documents or if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (y) pursuant to applicable law or a court order or otherwise in such circumstances where the Master Servicer is required to accept such principal prepayment in accordance with the Servicing Standard, Special Servicer or (z) in connection with the payment of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds), then for purposes of calculating the Compensating Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall pay, without regard to clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph, the amount of the Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to such Mortgage Loan otherwise described in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph in connection with such Prohibited Prepayment.

Compensating Interest Payments with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated between the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) in accordance with their respective principal amounts, and the Master Servicer shall pay the portion of such Compensating Interest Payments allocable to a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the holder thereof.

Section 3.14          Application of Penalty Charges and Modification Fees.

(a)          On or prior to the second Business Day before each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall apply all Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (to the extent permitted under any related Co-Lender Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) and not applied pursuant to Section 3.06A(a)(ii) or Section 3.06(a)(ii), as applicable, of this Agreement) received by it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, including an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan (to the extent allocable to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement and remitted to the Master Servicer by the related Outside Servicer) during the related Collection Period, as follows:

(i)            first, to the extent of all Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (in such order), to pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, for all outstanding Advances (including unreimbursed Advances that have been determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) and the related Advance Interest Amounts and other outstanding Additional Trust Fund Expenses (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) other than Borrower Delayed Reimbursements, in each case, with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination;

(ii)          second, to the extent of all remaining Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (in such order), as a reimbursement to the Trust of all Advances (and related Advance Interest Amounts) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan

-235-

Combination previously determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances and previously reimbursed to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited in the Collection Account as recoveries of such Nonrecoverable Advances and related Advance Interest Amounts) other than Borrower Delayed Reimbursements;

(iii)          third, to the extent of all remaining Penalty Charges and Modification Fees (in such order), as a reimbursement to the Trust of all other Additional Trust Fund Expenses (exclusive of Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination previously paid from the Collection Account or related Loan Combination Custodial Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited in the Collection Account or related Loan Combination Custodial Account as recoveries of such Additional Trust Fund Expenses) other than Borrower Delayed Reimbursements; and

(iv)          fourth, to the extent of any remaining Penalty Charges and any remaining Modification Fees, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as servicing compensation, pro rata, based on their entitlement set forth in Section 3.12 of this Agreement prior to the applications set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above;

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Loan Combination, Penalty Charges shall be allocated for the purposes and in the order set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(b)          In connection with the operation of the provisions of this Section 3.14, not later than the 25th day of the month in which each Distribution Date occurs (beginning with the 25th day of the month following the first Collection Period in which an Additional Trust Fund Expense, Advance or Advance Interest Amount is incurred), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a report in the form reasonably agreed to by both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer setting forth information regarding (1) the amount of Penalty Charges, Modification Fees and Assumption Fees collected by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (2) the related loan expenses and other amounts paid to the Trust from such Penalty Charges, Modification Fees and Assumption Fees, in each case for the related Collection Period or other reporting period as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall respond promptly to any inquiries of the Special Servicer with respect to the contents of any such report and shall provide any supporting information with respect thereto that is reasonably requested by the Special Servicer.

Section 3.15          Access to Certain Documentation. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (but only prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Depositor and any Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders that are, in the case of any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder, federally insured financial institutions, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other governmental or regulatory body to the jurisdiction of which any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder is subject,

-236-

access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, OCC or any such governmental or regulatory body, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which access shall be limited, in the case of the Serviced Companion Loan Holders or any regulatory authority seeking such access in respect of the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, to records relating to the Serviced Companion Loans). Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall detract from the obligation of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgagors, and the failure of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.15 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.15.

In connection with providing or granting any information or access pursuant to the prior paragraph to a Certificateholder, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder or any regulatory authority that may exercise authority over a Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each require payment from such Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such information or access, including copy charges and reasonable fees for employee time and for space; provided that no charge may be made if such information or access was required to be given or made available without charge under applicable law. In connection with providing Certificateholders or beneficial owners of Certificates access to the information described in the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall require (prior to affording such access) a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or a beneficial holder of book entry Certificates and will keep such information confidential.

In addition, in connection with providing access to information pursuant to this Section 3.15, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on the execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan if the disclosure of such items would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available via telephone to verbally answer questions from any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), on a monthly basis, during regular business hours at such time and for such duration as the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination

-237-

Event) and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) shall reasonably agree, regarding the performance and servicing of the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or related REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is responsible. In any event, the Operating Advisor and the related Directing Holder agree to identify for the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in advance (but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related monthly conference) the applicable Mortgage Loans (or Serviced Loan Combination) and/or REO Properties it intends to discuss. As a condition to such disclosure, the related Directing Holder and, subject to the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, shall execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 to this Agreement and an Investor Certification.

The Master Servicer may (but shall not be required to), in accordance with such rules and procedures as it may adopt in its sole discretion, make available through the Master Servicer’s website or otherwise, any additional information relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the related Mortgagors that is not Privileged Information, for review by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.

After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to any Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Class Representative or Certificateholders generally, as requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

The Operating Advisor hereby agrees that it shall use the information provided to it by the Special Servicer solely for purposes of performing its duties as Operating Advisor under this Agreement and shall not disclose such information to any other Person or entity unless (i) with respect to Privileged Information, pursuant to Section 3.29(j) of this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to any information other than Privileged Information, to the extent necessary to support its conclusions in its Operating Advisor Annual Report required under Section 3.29 of this Agreement or to discharge its other duties under this Agreement.

Section 3.16          Title and Management of REO Properties.

(a)          In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (either by the Trust Fund or by a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) in foreclosure, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a nominee of the Trustee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any REO Property prior to

-238-

the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Lower-Tier REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Code Section 860G(a)(8), unless (i) the IRS grants (or does not deny) an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) to sell such REO Property or (ii) the Special Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel for the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Lower-Tier REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Code Section 860F) of either Trust REMIC, or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code at any time that any Lower-Tier Regular Interests or Regular Certificates are outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted (or is not denied) the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its receiving the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund (i) prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.17 of this Agreement and (ii) on the same terms and conditions as if it were the owner of such REO Property. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B) or (i) endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund.

(b)          The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)), and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Code

-239-

Section 860G(c), which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions only if it has determined, and has so advised the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder(s), constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax. 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 (each, an “REO Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-GC36, and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear, REO Account.” The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt all revenues and proceeds received by it with respect to any REO Property, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such REO Property, including:

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

(ii)          all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(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; and

(iv)         any taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05 of this Agreement.

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Special Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Master Servicer at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written notice sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) prior to the date that such amounts are due, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of such shortfall unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). If the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall

-240-

make such Advance unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent set forth in Section 3.06 and/or, if applicable, Section 3.06A of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, or, for a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, on a monthly basis prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date the Net REO Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received or collected from each REO Property during the related Collection Period, except that in determining the amount of any such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

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

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

(iii)         authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or 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 Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination became imminent, all within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(4)(B); or

(iv)         Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, if any related Serviced Companion Loan is part of a REMIC, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Code Section 860D(a)) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and payable out of REO

-241-

Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8)) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), provided that:

(i)           the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii)          any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii)         none of the provisions of this Section 3.16(b) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv)         the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(c)          When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf) a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.16(a) and Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan.

-242-

Section 3.17          Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties; Sale of Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans.

(a)          The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, or (iii) (A) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.28 of this Agreement and (B) in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a related mezzanine loan or subordinate mortgage loan, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related intercreditor agreement.

(b)          Promptly upon a Serviced Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Loan. Any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is part of a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination is to be sold together with the related Mortgage Loan, subject to this Section 3.17 and any additional requirements set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)          The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase any Defaulted Loan pursuant hereto.

(d)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest

-243-

offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; and provided, further, notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, the Purchase Price for any Defaulted Loan (and any equivalent amount for any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall be deemed a fair price in all cases, including with respect to any offer from an Interested Person. In all cases under this Agreement (except to the extent the Trustee is not required to determine whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), in determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to such Defaulted Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(d) will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person. The Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The appraiser conducting any new Appraisal for determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance if no Interested Person is offering to purchase such Defaulted Loan.

(e)          Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(d), Section 3.17(f), Section 3.17(g) and Section 3.17(m), the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

-244-

(f)          Subject to (x) the rights of a holder of a mezzanine loan, under the respective intercreditor agreement, and (y) the rights of a Subordinate Companion Loan Holder, under the respective Co-Lender Agreement, to purchase a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination (or senior portion thereof), unless and until a Defaulted Loan is sold pursuant to this Section, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of such Defaulted Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.

(g)          Any sale of a Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 shall be for cash only. The purchase price for any Defaulted Loan purchased under this Section 3.17 or any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan sold in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or Outside Servicing Agreement, shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, and the Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf), upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of the Defaulted Loan the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Defaulted Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File (to the extent either has possession of such file) to such purchaser.

(h)          The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17.

(i)           The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period specified by Section 3.16 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless from whom received. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of related Liquidation Expenses) for any REO Property sold hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any REO Property hereunder.

-245-

(j)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) hereunder. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase, any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(k)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) for purposes of Section 3.17(i) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; and provided, further, notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, the Purchase Price for any such REO Property shall be deemed a fair price in all cases, including with respect to any offer from an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such REO Property, the Trustee shall (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in properties similar to such REO Property that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such REO Property; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(k) will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person. The Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the occupancy level and physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of such REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16 of this Agreement. The appraiser conducting any new Appraisal for determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance if no Interested Person is offering to purchase such REO Property.

(l)           Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(k) and Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected

-246-

Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (except such recourse to the Trust Fund and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(m)          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) and any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the related Directing Holder (unless, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, a Consultation Termination Event exists)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the

-247-

subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).

(n)          In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on the Trust’s behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, or any Companion Loan or any Mortgage Loan.

(o)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party identified in the related Co-Lender Agreement or Outside Servicing Agreement (which, if the identified party is the holder of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall mean the Controlling Class Representative for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), in its individual capacity and not on behalf of the Trust, shall be entitled to purchase an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and Outside Servicing Agreement. In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan(s) or any other Mortgage Loan.

(p)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any purchase or sale of a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 will remain subject to the cure, purchase and other rights of, in each case if applicable, any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and any holder of a related mezzanine loan as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. The Special Servicer shall determine the price to be paid in accordance with the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement or the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement in connection with any such purchase rights in favor of any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder or mezzanine loan holder and shall provide such notices to the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder or the holder of a related mezzanine loan as are required by the related Co-Lender Agreement or the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement in connection with each such holders’ purchase rights.

(q)          With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination (other than any such Loan Combination that is a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), the parties hereto acknowledge that the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that if such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer will be required to sell each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Serviced Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and subject to any rights of the related Directing Holder and/or

-248-

the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder or under the related Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell any such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination if it becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination without the written consent of each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the consenting party is the related Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the related Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered (which delivery may be by electronic mail to the extent it would not be prohibited under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement) to such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (at the expense of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement): (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder may waive as to itself any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. The Controlling Class Representative and each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder will be permitted to submit an offer to purchase, and any such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the subject Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination unless such Person is the related Mortgagor or an agent or Affiliate of the related Mortgagor.

(r)          With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination that is a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the parties hereto acknowledge that the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that if such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer will be required to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Serviced Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and subject to any rights of the related Directing Holder, the Controlling Class Representative and/or the holder of any related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan hereunder or under the related Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell any such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination if it becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination without the written consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists), the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the consenting party is the related Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the related Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered (which delivery may be by electronic mail to the extent it would not be prohibited under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement) to the Controlling Class Representative, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (at the

-249-

expense of such Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, to the extent permitted under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement): (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the Controlling Class Representative, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the price of the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Controlling Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that the Controlling Class Representative, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan may each waive as to itself any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. The Controlling Class Representative, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder and the holder of each related non-controlling Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan shall be permitted to submit an offer to purchase, and any such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the subject Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination unless such Person is the related Mortgagor or an agent or Affiliate of the related Mortgagor.

With respect to each Serviced AB Loan Combination, if such Serviced AB Loan Combination becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer shall be permitted to sell the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan together with such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as one whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, provided that the Special Servicer has received prior written consent from the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan.

(s)          With respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan upon becoming a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined pursuant to the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement), and with respect to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the liquidation of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Property shall be administered by the related Outside Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. Any such sale of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property pursuant to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Property accepted on behalf of the Trust. Any proceeds of such a sale received by the Trust Fund shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account.

Section 3.18          Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer; Inspections; Obligation to Notify Ground Lessors; Delivery of Certain Reports to the Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

(a)          The Master Servicer (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan at such times and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event at least once every calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000 or more and at least once every other calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000, in each case commencing in 2017; provided that the Master Servicer is not required to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected by the Special Servicer during the preceding 12 months. If any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected by the Special Servicer as soon as practicable and thereafter at least every calendar year for so long as such condition exists. The cost of any annual inspection, or bi-annual inspection, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Master Servicer unless the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination is a Specially Serviced Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for the cost of any inspection of a Specially Serviced Loan as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to such inspection shall be borne by the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection performed by it pursuant to this Section 3.18(a), and shall promptly following preparation deliver or make available a copy (in electronic format) of each such report to the Certificate Administrator (who shall post such report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website for review by Privileged Persons in accordance with Section 4.02(a)).

(b)          The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, even if the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event within 60 days following the later of the Closing Date or its receipt of a copy of the Ground Lease) notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward to the Special Servicer any written notice of default under a ground lease.

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder a written report, prepared in the manner set forth in Section 4.02, of each inspection performed by it with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and Serviced Companion Loan related thereto.

(d)          The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise any rights granted under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trust (or a party on its behalf) as the holder of each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan to obtain information from the

-251-

related Outside Servicer (or other similar parties with an obligation to make advances) in connection with making nonrecoverability determinations. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to any related Outside Servicer, upon request, such information in the Master Servicer’s possession as the related Outside Servicer reasonably requests in order to determine whether an advance similar to a P&I Advance would be “nonrecoverable.”

(e)          If required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder or provide electronically: (i) copies of operating statements and rent rolls; (ii) annual CREFC^® NOI Adjustment Worksheets (with annual operating statements as exhibits); and (iii) annual CREFC^® Operating Statement Analysis Reports, in each case prepared, received or obtained by it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Serviced Companion Loan.

Section 3.19          Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts.

Except with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account and Escrow Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any, and administer any letters of credit pursuant to the related letter of credit agreement and the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any cash amounts are held in an Escrow Account or other cash collateral account and the mortgagee under the related Loan Documents is permitted, but not required, to apply such amounts to prepay the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall apply such amounts to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) until after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan that may result in the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) being accelerated or becoming a Specially Serviced Loan.

Section 3.20          Property Advances.

(a)          Except with respect to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement, the Trustee) shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent incidental to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that no Property Advances shall be made with regard to a Subordinate Companion Loan if the related Mortgage Loan is no longer held by the Trust. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder not less than five (or, in the case of Emergency Advances pursuant to Section 3.20(e) of this Agreement, two) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer, the Trustee or such Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such notice by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of a required Property Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer

-252-

shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, all determinations of recoverability with respect to Property Advances to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee will remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any Property Advance previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance promptly after making such determination. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by such a determination and shall be bound by a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or contemplated to be made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Although the Special Servicer may determine whether a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any Property Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that any Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a Property Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 3.20. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Advances for the purposes of non-recoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed Property Advances.

For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders and compensation to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination so provide.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance, the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five (5) Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions. Any notice to the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee if made in accordance with Section 12.04 of this Agreement.

(c)          Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a Property Advance as to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance will be a

-253-

Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Property Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or proposed to be made is or would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in accordance with its good faith business judgment and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to (1) the affected Serviced Companion Loan Holders or their Companion Loan Holder representatives (and the related master servicer and special servicer under any related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if applicable), in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, (2) the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), (3) the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), (4) in the case of a Property Advance with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder, (5) the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), (6) the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), and (7) the Depositor (if the Trustee is making the determination), setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a Property Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:

(A)         any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;

(B)          any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information as reasonably may be required for such purposes;

-254-

(C)          the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance);

(D)          the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;

(E)          any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.20 with respect to the non-recoverability of Property Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee; and

(F)          notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable.

(d)          The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by any of them to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) or Section 3.06A(a)(ii) of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereby covenant and agree to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Property Advance is required to be made under this Agreement with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer shall request that the Master Servicer make such Property

-255-

Advance, such request to be made, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written request sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) in advance of the date on which such Property Advance is required to be made hereunder and to be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Property Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to determine that such Property Advance does not constitute or would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Property Advance that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make, within five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, two (2) Business Days) of the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Advance; provided that the Special Servicer may in its sole discretion elect to make an Emergency Advance, and the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Property Advance (with interest thereon), provided that such Advance is not determined by the Master Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to be nonrecoverable. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Advances made thereby.

(f)          Within five (5) Business Days of making an Emergency Advance pursuant to the proviso to the penultimate sentence of Section 3.20(e), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Emergency Advance, along with all information and documentation regarding the subject Emergency Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any such unreimbursed Emergency Advances (other than any Emergency Advance determined by the Master Servicer, in accordance with Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, to be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the proviso to the penultimate sentence of Section 3.20(e), together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Emergency Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.20(f), the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Emergency Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Emergency Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Emergency Advance, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Emergency Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.20(f), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for any Emergency Advance if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement that such Emergency Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such

-256-

Nonrecoverable Property Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement.

Each Asset Status Report will be delivered in electronic format to the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the related Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only if the related Specially Serviced Loan is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan), the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider; provided, however, the Special Servicer shall not be required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the related Directing Holder if they are the same entity. Such Asset Status Report shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard and set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

(i)           summary of the status of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and any negotiations with the Mortgagors;

(ii)          if a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing:

(F)          a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease; and

(G)          if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure, then a statement as to (i) whether there was a violation of a non-recourse carve-out under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and (ii) any determination not to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or guarantor;

(iii)         a description of any such proposed or taken actions;

(iv)         the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

(v)          the decision that the Special Servicer made, or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives;

(vi)         an analysis of whether or not taking such proposed action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable Calculation Rate used) and all related assumptions; and

(vii)        such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed or taken action and the Servicing Standard.

If any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) or the Controlling Class Representative (if any other Serviced Loan(s) (other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan) are involved and a Control Termination Event does not exist), as applicable, does not disapprove an Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such Asset Status Report, then the related Directing Holder shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents. If the related Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days of receipt (and, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, a Control Termination Event does not exist and such Asset Status Report does not relate to an Excluded Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination contemplated below, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), related Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only if such Asset Status Report does not relate to an

-258-

Excluded Mortgage Loan), the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the related Directing Holder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only if a Control Termination Event does not exist and only if an Excluded Mortgage Loan is not involved) or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, and/or Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), if applicable, constitute a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). The 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. If the related Directing Holder does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the related Directing Holder (but, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, only if a Control Termination Event does not exist and only if an Excluded Mortgage Loan is not involved), provided such action does not violate the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the related Directing Holder (during the period that such Directing Holder has approval rights). The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard. To the extent that the Special Servicer received notice of an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan (in the form of Exhibit M-1C or M-1D), any Asset Status Report or Excluded Information delivered with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan shall be labeled by the Special Servicer with “Excluded Information” followed by the loan number and loan name.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Operating Advisor in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Operating Advisor shall propose, by written notice, alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report to the extent the Operating Advisor determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that were previously included in the Control Eligible Classes), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender. In addition, after the occurrence

-259-

and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall also consult on a non-binding basis with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with each related Asset Status Report (other than any Asset Status Report with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan) prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report (other than any Asset Status Report with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan). Furthermore, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, at all times if and to the extent so provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) shall be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset Status Report; provided that, in the case of a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) may be the related Outside Controlling Note Holder. The Special Servicer shall consider any such proposals from (a) the Operating Advisor (during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) (b) the Controlling Class Representative (during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Serviced Loan that is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan) or (c) with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) (if and when provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement), as applicable, and determine whether any changes to its proposed Asset Status Report should be made, such determination being made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the other terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Operating Advisor, the Controlling Class Representative, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, does not propose alternative courses of action within 10 days after receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent or object to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.21(b); and (iii) from and after the Closing Date, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report related to an Excluded Mortgage Loan or otherwise to consent or object thereto under this Section 3.21(b) or consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein.

(c)          Subject to Section 3.21(b) of this Agreement, during the continuance of a Servicing Transfer Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the related Mortgagors and take any actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the most recent Asset Status Report for the related Mortgage Loan.

(d)          Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Certificate Owner, if applicable, which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor

-260-

Certification), the Certificate Administrator shall mail, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the Final Asset Status Report for each Specially Serviced Loan; provided that an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall not be provided with any Final Asset Status Report (or copy thereof) with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is a Borrower Party.

(e)          Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each related Final Asset Status Report.

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Operating Advisor, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, any Companion Loan Holder Representative or the related Directing Holder that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of any Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or any Co-Lender Agreement. In addition, the Special Servicer is under no obligation to act upon any recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

(a)          Upon determining that any Serviced Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and shall promptly deliver a copy of the Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File to the Operating Advisor and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File, but including copies thereof) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Serviced Loan 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 Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Serviced Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Serviced Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Serviced Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File. With respect to each such Serviced

-261-

Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Serviced Loan to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgagor of such a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor.

Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and, upon giving such notice and the return of the Servicing File to the Master Servicer, such Serviced Loan shall cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Serviced Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Serviced Loan as a Serviced Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan shall resume. In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.

(b)          In servicing any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional related Serviced Loan information, including correspondence with the related Mortgagor, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Master Servicer as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

(c)          Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans and, upon request, shall provide the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such information is within the Master Servicer’s possession. Upon request, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Master Servicer or the Operating Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such information is within the Special Servicer’s possession.

Section 3.23          Interest Reserve Account. The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Interest Reserve Account in the Certificate Administrator’s name, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Interest Reserve Account shall be established and maintained as a non-interest bearing Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in January (except during a leap year) or February (commencing in 2017) (unless, in either such case, the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit

-262-

into the Interest Reserve Account, in respect of all the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related month, an amount equal to one day’s interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which such Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent a Monthly Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March (or February if the final Distribution Date occurs in such month) of each calendar year, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.

Section 3.24          Modifications, Waivers and Amendments.

(a)          (i) With respect to Performing Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s consent, except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.24(a)), or (ii) with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, in each case subject to any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor, any applicable consent and/or consultation rights of the related Directing Holder (if any) and, to the extent required in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement, any applicable consultation rights of any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), may modify, waive or amend any term of any Serviced Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (A) is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Serviced Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise (1) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes or (2) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Code Section 860G(d), but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the determination described in clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence.

In addition, with respect to Performing Serviced Loans, to the extent any modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action (i) constitutes a Major Decision and/or (ii) is not the responsibility of the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.24(a), the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent of the Special Servicer, and, in each case, to the extent any modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action constitutes a Major Decision, the Special Servicer shall obtain the consent of the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) or the Controlling Class Representative (if any other Serviced Loan(s) (exclusive of any Excluded Mortgage Loan(s)) are involved and a Control Termination Event does not exist), as applicable.

-263-

waiver, amendment, consent or other action that constitutes a Major Decision with regard to any Specially Serviced Loan.

No modification, waiver or amendment of any Co-Lender Agreement related to a Serviced Loan, or any action to enforce rights with respect thereto, in each case, in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights, duties and obligations of the Special Servicer shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer.

When the Special Servicer’s consent is required with respect to any modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action with regard to any Performing Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with written notice of any request for such modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action, accompanied by the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and any and all information in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably available to it that the Special Servicer or, with respect to a Major Decision, the related Directing Holder may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer shall be entitled (subject to, with respect to Major Decision, in each case if applicable, the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor, the consent and/or consultation rights of the related Directing Holder and/or the consultation rights of any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) to approve or disapprove such modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action. Subject to Section 3.09 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have 15 Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) (or 60 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default), from the date that the Special Servicer receives the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation and any supporting information it requested from the Master Servicer, to analyze and approve such modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action and, prior to the end of such 15 Business Day period or such longer period if required by the applicable Co-Lender Agreement or 60-day period (with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default), as applicable, the Special Servicer shall notify the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) or the Controlling Class Representative (if any other Serviced Loan(s) (exclusive of any Excluded Mortgage Loan(s)) are involved and a Control Termination Event does not exist), as applicable, of such request for approval of each such modification, waiver, amendment, consent or other action that constitutes a Major Decision and provide its written analysis and recommendation with respect thereto. Following such notice, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) or the Controlling Class Representative (if any other Serviced Loan(s) are involved and a Control Termination Event does not exist), as applicable, shall have 10 Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) from the date it receives from the Special Servicer the recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and any other information it may reasonably request (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period as may be provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to approve any recommendation of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer relating to any request for approval. In any such event, if the related Directing Holder does not respond to a request for approval by 5:00 p.m. on the 10th Business Day (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period as may be provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) or 20th day, as applicable, after receipt

-264-

of the applicable recommendation and analysis and other requested information as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may deem its recommendation approved by the related Directing Holder, and if the Special Servicer does not respond to a request for approval within the required 15 Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period if required by the related Co-Lender Agreement) or 60 days (with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default), as applicable, the Master Servicer may deem its recommendation approved by the Special Servicer.

With respect to any Performing Serviced Loan, and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer and the related Directing Holder under Section 6.09 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, without the consent of the Special Servicer, shall be responsible to determine whether to consent to or approve any request by the related Mortgagor with respect to the following (each of the following, a “Master Servicer Decision”):

(B)          approving annual budgets for the related Mortgaged Property; provided that no such budget (i) provides for the payment of operating expenses in an amount equal to more than 110% of the amounts budgeted therefor for the prior year or (ii) provides for the payment of any material expenses to any Affiliate of the related Mortgagor (other than the payment of a management fee to any property manager if such management fee is no more than the management fee in effect on the Cut-Off Date);

(C)          subject to other restrictions in this Agreement regarding Principal Prepayments, waiving any provision of a Serviced Loan requiring a specified number of days’ notice prior to a Principal Prepayment;

(D)          approving non-material modifications, consents or waivers (other than modifications, consents or waivers specifically prohibited under this Section 3.24) in connection with a defeasance permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 3.09 and 3.24 of this Agreement including, in certain cases, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that such modification, waiver or consent would not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or result in a “prohibited transaction” under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes;

(E)          granting waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial covenants);

(F)          as permitted under the related Loan Documents, payment from any escrow or reserve, except releases of any escrows, reserve accounts or letters of

(I)           approving consents with respect to non-material rights-of-way and non-material easements and consent to subordination of the related Serviced Loan to such non-material rights-of-way or easements; provided, that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such right-of-way or easement does not materially interfere with the then-current use of the related Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage and will not have a material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property;

(J)           approving a change of the property manager at the request of the related Mortgagor so long as (i) the successor property manager is not affiliated with the related Mortgagor and is a nationally or regionally recognized manager of similar properties, and (ii) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan does not have an outstanding principal balance in excess of the lesser of $5,000,000 or 2% of the then aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans;

(K)          any non-material modifications, waivers or amendments not provided for in clauses (A) through (J) above, which are necessary to cure any ambiguities or to correct scrivener’s errors in the terms of the related Serviced Loan.

The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, any related Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Serviced Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver a copy to the Trustee, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (which, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan that has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, shall be deemed to be the related master servicer under

-266-

the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless the notifying party has received written notice otherwise), any related Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and an original to the Trustee or the Custodian of the recorded agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within 15 Business Days following the execution and recordation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement with respect to the delivery of assumption or substitution agreements shall be governed by Section 3.09.

(c)          Subject to Section 3.30 of this Agreement, any modification of any Loan Documents that requires obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to such Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation in such Loan Documents, shall not be made without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation. The Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the related Mortgagor’s expense in accordance with the related Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in such Loan Agreement or if such Mortgagor does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(d)          Promptly after any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator the name of the current Controlling Class Representative and, if applicable, shall request from the Master Servicer the name of the current related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. Upon receipt of the name of such current Controlling Class Representative from the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of the name of such current related Serviced Companion Loan Holder from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall notify the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder that the related Serviced Loan Combination became a Specially Serviced Loan. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the name of the current Controlling Class Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself as such to the Certificate Administrator; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust, the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such list to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(e)          [Reserved].

(f)           The Special Servicer or Master Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent to a modification, extension, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and, further, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Mortgagor pay to it a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request and any related costs and expenses incurred by it; provided that the

-267-

charging of such fee would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(g)          Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the Special Servicer be permitted to:

(i)           extend the Maturity Date of a Serviced Loan beyond a date that is 3 years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; or

(ii)          if the Serviced Loan is secured by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of such Serviced Loan beyond a date which is 20 years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease, 10 years prior to the end of the current term of such ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor.

(h)          In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or require the Mortgagor to provide such calculation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any. In connection with approving any such release or taking, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall calculate the loan-to-value ratio in a manner consistent with the prior sentence, and if such calculation is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will require a payment of principal in an amount equal to or greater than a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a Qualified Mortgage.

(i)           If and to the extent that the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, is entitled to exercise any consent and/or consultation rights with respect to modifications, waivers and amendments or certain other major decisions under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, (a) such consent rights shall be exercised by the Master Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is not part of a “specially serviced loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) and only to the extent that the action would be considered a Master Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer (if such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is part of a “specially serviced loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement) or if the action would not be considered a Master Servicer Decision), with, in the case of a matter that would be a Major Decision, the consent of the Controlling Class Representative unless a Control Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan, in each case in accordance with Section 3.01(i) and (b) any consultation rights entitled to be exercised by the holders of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the

-268-

Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists or such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan).

Section 3.25          Additional Obligations With Respect to Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a)          With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance in excess of $35,000,000, in connection with any replacement of the Manager for the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent permitted by the related Loan Documents, shall require a Rating Agency Confirmation and shall condition its consent to such replacement on the Mortgagor paying for such Rating Agency Confirmation.

(b)          With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), if any mezzanine loan is directly or indirectly secured by any equity interest of the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer (if (i) the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Serviced Loan and (ii) the performance of the particular obligation would not constitute a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (if (i) the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) the performance of the particular would constitute a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) shall perform the obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, or its servicer or agent under the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement.

Section 3.26          Certain Matters Relating to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans.

With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, in the event that any of the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as the case may be, in each case with reasonable promptness following request therefor by a party to the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.27          Additional Matters Regarding Advance Reimbursement.

(a)          Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for some or all such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one-month Collection Period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total not to exceed 12 months; provided that any deferral in excess of 6 months shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (or, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder) (unless, if the Controlling Class Representative is the consenting party, a Control Termination

-269-

Event has occurred and is continuing, in which case the Controlling Class Representative must be consulted with unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing). If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one-month Collection Period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof) until the end of such Collection Period; provided, however, if, at any time the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during any Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, give the Rating Agencies at least 15 days’ notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, give Rating Agencies notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. Subject to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. Any election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the other two parties any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to otherwise be

-270-

reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance immediately (together with interest thereon). Any such election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on any other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement will have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes to refrain or not to refrain from reimbursing itself as contemplated by this paragraph or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election nor will such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election, if any, to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance if there are principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement or to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance for an aggregate period exceeding 12 months.

(b)          If the Master Servicer is required to make a Property Advance, but does not do so within 15 days after the Property Advance is required to be made, then the Trustee will be required: (i) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the failure, to give the Master Servicer notice of its failure; and (ii) if the failure continues for three more Business Days, to make the Advance unless the Trustee determines such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.28          Serviced Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.

(a)          If, pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 3.17 or Section 9.01 of this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan that relates to a Serviced Loan Combination is purchased from, repurchased from or substituted out of, the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan under such Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the related Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the related Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Note) on behalf of the holder of the Note that represents the Serviced Companion Loan. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan as their interests appear under the related Co-Lender Agreement. If the related Servicing File is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be

-271-

delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Serviced Loan Combinations.

(b)          With respect to each Serviced Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, then (i) neither the Operating Advisor nor the Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to exercise such right or (ii) to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative, as applicable. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with, seek the approval of, or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Serviced Companion Loan to the extent required under related Co-Lender Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of or consultation with the Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative without such consent or consultation. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on behalf of the Serviced Companion Loan Holder) as required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

(c)           With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, on an ongoing basis a statement setting forth, to the extent applicable to such Serviced Loan Combination:

(i)            (A) the amount of the distribution from the related Loan Combination Custodial Account allocable to principal and (B) separately identifying the amount of scheduled principal payments, balloon payments, principal prepayments made at the option of the Mortgagor or other principal prepayments (specifying the reason therefor), net liquidation proceeds and foreclosure proceeds included therein and information on distributions made with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(ii)           the amount of the distribution from the related Loan Combination Custodial Account allocable to interest and the amount of Default Interest allocable to the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iii)          the amount of the distribution to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, separately identifying the non-default interest, principal and other amounts included therein, and if the distribution to a Serviced Companion Loan Holder is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Serviced Companion Loan Holder if there were sufficient amounts available therefor, the amount of the shortfall and the

-272-

allocation thereof between interest and principal and the amount of the shortfall, if any, under the related Serviced Loan Combination;

(iv)         the principal balance of each of the related Serviced Loan Combination and related Serviced Companion Loan after giving effect to the distribution of principal on the most recent Distribution Date; and

(v)          the amount of the servicing fees paid to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the most recent Distribution Date, showing separately the Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee.

Not later than each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall make the foregoing statement available to the Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf) by electronic means (which includes posting such information pursuant to the applicable CREFC® reports on the Master Servicer’s website) and by such other means of delivery as required under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(d)          If any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an Other PSA Asset Review pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer or any other party to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such Other PSA Asset Review by providing the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party with any documents and information reasonably requested by the related Other Asset Representations Reviewer or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents and/or information are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

Section 3.29          Appointment and Duties of the Operating Advisor.

(a)          Pentalpha Surveillance LLC is hereby appointed to serve as the initial Operating Advisor.

(b)          The Operating Advisor, as an independent contractor, shall review the Special Servicer’s operational practices in respect of Specially Serviced Loans, consult with the Special Servicer and perform each other obligation of the Operating Advisor as set forth in this Agreement solely on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders (and, with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) constituted a single lender), and not any particular Class of Certificateholders, as determined by the Operating Advisor in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from any relationship that the Operating Advisor or any of its Affiliates may have with any of the Mortgagors, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Directing Holder, or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Operating Advisor Standard”). The Operating Advisor shall act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement and shall not owe any fiduciary duty to any party to this

-273-

Agreement or any other Person in connection with this Agreement. The Operating Advisor’s duties shall be limited to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and the Operating Advisor shall have no duty or liability to any particular Class of Certificates or any Certificateholder. The Operating Advisor is not a servicer or a sub-servicer and will not be charged with changing the outcome on any particular Specially Serviced Loan. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Loan and that the goal of the Operating Advisor’s participation is to provide additional input relating to the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute. The Operating Advisor shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person in connection with this Agreement.

(c)          Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website with respect to the Special Servicer, assets on the CREFC^® Servicer Watch List and the applicable Specially Serviced Loans and (ii) each related Final Asset Status Report.

(d)          (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor shall review the Special Servicer’s operational practices in light of the Servicing Standard and the requirements of this Agreement, with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of the applicable Specially Serviced Loan(s).

(ii)          After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any annual compliance statement and any assessment of compliance delivered to the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 10.08 and Section 10.09 of this Agreement, as applicable, any attestation report delivered to the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 10.10 of this Agreement, any Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications between the related Directing Holder or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), as applicable, and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor shall (if any applicable Serviced Mortgage Loan(s) were Specially Serviced Loan(s) during, and a Control Termination Event existed as of the end of, the prior calendar year) prepare and deliver to the Depositor, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website), within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit R of this Agreement (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement) setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement on a platform-level basis with respect to the resolution and/or liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan(s) during the

-274-

prior calendar year. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.29(b) of this Agreement, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of the applicable Specially Serviced Loan(s), and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements applicable to the Operating Advisor described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions set forth in this Agreement). In the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall, in any such case, describe any such limitations in the applicable Operating Advisor Annual Report and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and the Depositor, and the Certificate Administrator and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly, upon receipt, post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, respectively; provided, however, that the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (if a Serviced Loan other than a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is addressed and a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) and the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is addressed), any annual report produced by the Operating Advisor at least ten (10) calendar days prior to its delivery to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The Operating Advisor may, but shall not be obligated to, revise the Operating Advisor Annual Report based on any comments received from the Special Servicer or the Controlling Class Representative. No Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Operating Advisor with respect to the Special Servicer if during the prior calendar year no Asset Status Report was prepared by the Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property. In addition, in the event the Special Servicer is replaced during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall only be required to prepare an Operating Advisor Annual Report relating to each entity that was acting as Special Servicer as of December 31 of the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. Only as used in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Operating Advisor of any annual compliance statement and any assessment of compliance delivered to the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 10.08 and Section 10.09 of this Agreement, as applicable, any attestation report delivered to the Operating Advisor pursuant to Section 10.10 of this Agreement, any Asset Status Report and other information (other than any communications between the related Directing Holder or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), as applicable, and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

-275-

(iii)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (i) the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance shall be based on the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) so long as Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is acting as Special Servicer, then such Special Servicer shall provide the Operating Advisor reasonable access, at such Special Servicer’s offices during normal business hours (or at such other time, place and manner as the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer may mutually agree), to such Special Servicer’s policies and procedures. Unless the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor mutually agree otherwise, the Operating Advisor will be permitted to review such policies and procedures but will not be permitted to retain hard copies and will not be provided with any electronic copies or soft copies. The Operating Advisor shall keep all information contained in the policies and procedures strictly confidential, except (A) the Operating Advisor may disclose such information if (i) such information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Operating Advisor, or (ii) such disclosure is required by applicable law, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the Operating Advisor) delivered to the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer and (B) the Operating Advisor may disclose a particular portion of the policies and procedures solely when necessary to support specific conclusions concerning allegations of material deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report, or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Operating Advisor to replace Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association as the Special Servicer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will be permitted to share such information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement and provided such Affiliates and subcontractors of the Operating Advisor agree in writing prior to their receipt of such information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. The Operating Advisor’s assessment may not take into account the fact that Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association as Special Servicer limited the Operating Advisor’s access to such Special Servicer’s written policies and procedures pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing set forth herein shall limit or affect the scope of the Operating Advisor’s platform level review in connection with its preparation of the Operating Advisor Annual Report, provided that the Operating Advisor’s access to or reliance upon such Special Servicer’s written policies and procedures shall be subject to the terms of this clause (iii) of Section 3.29(d). During any period when the Special Servicer is not Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, or an Affiliate of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, the requirements and limitations contained in this clause (iii) of Section 3.29(d) with respect to such Special Servicer shall not be applicable, and the Operating Advisor shall have adequate and timely access to the policies and procedures of any successor special servicer as the Operating Advisor determines necessary to fulfill its duties under this Agreement.

(e)          Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to, and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to be taken in connection with the workout or liquidation of, a Specially Serviced Loan, to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall

review such calculations but may not opine on, or otherwise call into question such Appraisal Reduction Amount and/or net present value calculations; provided, however, if the Operating Advisor discovers a mathematical error contained in such calculations, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer and the related Directing Holder (if the related Directing Holder is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Specially Serviced Loan) of such error.

(f)           After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations with respect to an applicable Specially Serviced Loan related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to be taken in connection with the workout or liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.

In the event the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall determine which calculation is to apply. In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(g)          After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan (without regard to whether such Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Mortgage Loan); provided that the Operating Advisor may consult regarding a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination only if and to the extent that the holder of the related Split Mortgage Loan is granted consultation rights under the related Co-Lender Agreement.

(h)          Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Reports or actions by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as to which the Operating Advisor has consultation rights, whether or not referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report and made by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement.

(i)           Subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the Operating Advisor will be obligated to keep confidential any Privileged Information received from the Special Servicer, the related Directing Holder or any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) in connection with the exercise of the rights of the related Directing Holder or such related Serviced Companion Loan Holder under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report), subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(j)           The Operating Advisor shall keep Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class Representative), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement and provided such Affiliates and subcontractors of the Operating Advisor agree in writing prior to their receipt of such Privileged Information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor described in this Agreement and a copy of such agreement is provided to the parties hereto. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer, any related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation rights. Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement, but with respect to the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor unless such fee is payable as an expense of the Trust Fund pursuant to the immediately following proviso; provided, however, with respect to any Major Decision as to which the Operating Advisor has consultation rights after the outstanding Certificate Balances

-278-

of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such Certificates, the related Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be $10,000 and payable out of the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Operating Advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall (regardless of whether the related Operating Advisor Consulting Fee has been paid out of the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust Fund) use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents, and shall, to the extent any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee has been paid out of the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust Fund as described in the last proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, deposit any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee so collected from the related Mortgagor into the Collection Account to reimburse the Trust for any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee paid to the Operating Advisor. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

(l)           In no event shall the Operating Advisor have the power to compel any transaction party to take or refrain from taking any action.

-279-

only in the case of actions that would otherwise be Major Decisions), which consent shall be pursued by the Special Servicer and deemed given if the related Directing Holder does not respond within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of a request from the Special Servicer to consent to the Requesting Party’s determination), in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, except as provided in Section 3.30(b), whether or not such action would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) makes such determination, then the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall not apply; (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such condition shall be considered satisfied if: (1) in the case that Xxxxx’x is the non-responding Rating Agency, (a) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has confirmed in writing that it was appointed to act as the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction level basis on the closing date of a commercial mortgage loan securitization with respect to which Moody’s rated one or more classes of securities and one or more of such classes of securities are still outstanding and rated by Moody’s and (b) Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination; (2) the applicable replacement master servicer has a master servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch or the applicable replacement special servicer has a special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch, if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency; and (3) KBRA has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency, as applicable; and (z) with respect to a replacement or successor of the Operating Advisor, such condition shall be deemed to be waived with respect to any non-responding Rating Agency so long as such Rating Agency has not cited concerns regarding the replacement operating advisor as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction with respect to which the replacement operating advisor acts as trust advisor or operating advisor prior to the time of determination.

-280-

Promptly following the Requesting Party’s (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable) determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.30(a) without receiving any required Rating Agency Confirmation, such Requesting Party (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall provide electronic written notice in accordance with Section 12.13(b) of the action taken for the particular item at such time and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to send the Rating Agency Confirmation request to the Rating Agencies in accordance with Section 12.13(b).

(c)          For all other matters or actions (i) not specifically discussed in clause (ii) (x), (ii) (y) or (ii) (z) of Section 3.30(a) above and (ii) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the proposed action shall not be permitted to proceed unless the applicable Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed satisfied or not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterparts (i.e., the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable), the Rule 17g-5

(xxviii)        Last, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC Residual Interest, in the amount of any remaining portion of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date occurring on and after the Cross-Over Date, in place of the allocation of principal payments described in clause

-288-

(ii) above, remaining Available Funds at such level shall be distributed up to an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date to the respective Holders of Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Balances, in reduction of their respective Certificate Balances (and the schedule for the Class A-AB principal distributions shall be disregarded). Any remaining Available Funds will then be allocated as provided in clauses (iii) through (xxviii) above.

All distributions of interest made in respect of a Class of the Class X Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to clause (b)(i) above or Section 4.01(d), shall be deemed to have been made: (x) if there is only one Component of such Class, in respect of such Component; and (y) if there are multiple Components of such Class, in respect of all such Components, pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of interest that would be payable on such Components on such Distribution Date based on one-twelfth of the Class X Strip Rate of each such Component multiplied by its respective Component Notional Amount, reduced by its share of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date, together with any amounts thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.

(c)           (i)  On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account that represent Yield Maintenance Charges collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period (or, in the case of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan(s), received hereunder as of the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the respective Classes of Certificates (excluding the Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates) as follows: (A) first such Yield Maintenance charge shall be allocated between (x) the group (the “YM Group A”) of the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, the Class A-S and Class EC Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class A-S Regular Interest) and (y) the group (the “YM Group B” and collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of the Class B Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, the Class B and Class EC Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class B Regular Interest), the Class C Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, the Class C and Class EC Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class C Regular Interest) and the Class D Certificates, pro rata based on the aggregate amount of principal distributed with respect to the Classes of Regular Certificates and Class EC Regular Interest(s) in each YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (B) then the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to each YM Group shall be further allocated as among the Classes of Regular Certificates and the Class EC Regular Interest(s) in such YM Group, in the following manner: each Class of Regular Certificates and each Class EC Regular Interest in such YM Group shall entitle the applicable Certificateholders to receive on the applicable Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis according to entitlements, that portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class of Regular Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Classes of Regular Certificates and Class EC Regular Interests in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Regular Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest and

-289-

(z) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group. The amount of any Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to either YM Group on any Distribution Date and remaining after such distributions contemplated by the preceding sentence shall be distributed to the Class X-A Certificates. If there is more than one Class of Regular Certificates and/or Class EC Regular Interest in either YM Group entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Yield Maintenance Charges are distributable to such Class(es) and/or Class EC Regular Interest(s), then the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges shall be allocated among all such Classes of Regular Certificates and/or Class EC Regular Interest(s) up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements in those Yield Maintenance Charges in accordance with the second preceding sentence.

On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class A-S Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class A-S Certificates and the Class EC Component A-S (and correspondingly on the Class EC Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class A-S Percentage Interest and Class A-S-Exchange Percentage Interest, respectively. On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class B Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class B Certificates and the Class EC Component B (and correspondingly on the Class EC Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class B Percentage Interest and Class B-Exchange Percentage Interest, respectively. On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class C Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class C Certificates and the Class EC Component C (and correspondingly on the Class EC Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class C Percentage Interest and Class C-Exchange Percentage Interest, respectively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(c), after the Distribution Date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount and the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class D Certificates and the Class EC Regular Interests have been reduced to zero, all Yield Maintenance Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-A Certificates.

Any Yield Maintenance Charge that is to be distributed to the Regular Certificates or Class EC Regular Interests on any Distribution Date shall be deemed distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests then receiving a principal distribution, pro rata, based on the respective amounts of those principal distributions.

(d)          On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts in the following priority:

(i)           first, to the Holders of the Regular Certificates and to the Exchangeable Distribution Account with respect to the Class EC Regular Interests (in the same order as distributions are made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement) up to an amount equal to all amounts remaining due and payable on the Regular Certificates and Class EC

-290-

Regular Interests, and any Realized Loss allocable to such Certificates or Class EC Regular Interests, after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date; and

(ii)          second, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.05(c) of this Agreement.

Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account pursuant to the preceding clause (i) shall first be deemed to have been distributed to reimburse the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of any Realized Losses or other shortfalls allocated to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated thereto and payment of other amounts due thereon.

(e)          On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions of principal or in reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses made in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii), the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest (after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced as a result of Realized Losses to equal the Certificate Balance of its Corresponding Certificates that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.

(f)           The Certificate Balance of each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and each Class EC Regular Interest will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date, as a write-off, to the extent of any Realized Loss allocated to such Class of Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any Realized Loss for such Distribution Date will be allocated to the following Classes of Regular Certificates and Class EC Regular Interests in the following order, until the Certificate Balance of each such Class of Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest is reduced to zero: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class EC Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); seventh, to the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class EC Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); eighth, to the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class EC Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); and, finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates, (v) Class A-5 Certificates and (vi) Class A-AB Certificates based on their respective Certificate Balances. Any amounts recovered in respect of any amounts previously written off as Realized Losses will be distributed to the Classes of Certificates and Class EC Regular Interests to which Realized Losses have been allocated in order of their seniority and shall be deemed to be distributed to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests (and any amounts so distributed on any Class EC Regular Interest shall be deemed to be distributed on the Class of Class A-S, Class B or Class C Certificates corresponding to that Class EC Regular Interest and the corresponding Class EC Component of the Class EC Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in such Class EC Regular Interest). Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance

-291-

of the Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Mortgage Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Collection Period during which the recovery occurred) the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance(s) of the Class or Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and/or the Class EC Regular Interest(s) that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement, in each case up to the lesser of the unallocated portion of such recovery and the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Regular Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for such Class of Regular Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest had never been written down (and, to the extent that the Certificate Balance of, and any interest payable on, any Class of Regular Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest). If the Certificate Balance of any Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) or Class EC Regular Interest (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such Class of Certificates or Class EC Regular Interest (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest, as the case may be) shall be decreased by such amount.

The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates and the Component Notional Amounts of the Class X-A Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests designated as the Class XX-0, Xxxxx XX-0, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-AB and Class LA-S Interests, in any event resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-D Certificates and the Component Notional Amount of the Class X-D Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Balance of the Class D Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Lower-Tier Regular Interest designated as the Class LD Interest, in any event resulting from allocations of Realized Losses.

(g)          All amounts distributable, or reductions allocable on account of Realized Losses, to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record at the close of business on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may

-292-

be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for making all distributions on the Certificates contemplated hereunder.

(h)          Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the fifteenth day of the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made (or, if the Certificate Administrator has not received notice of such Anticipated Termination Date by such time, promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such notice), mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the effect that:

(i)           the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and

(ii)          if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Class of Certificates, or on the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest, from and after such Distribution Date;

provided, however, that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates outstanding.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the

-293-

Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner.

(i)           [Reserved].

(j)           The Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date will be allocated among the various Classes of Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class EC Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein), the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class EC Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein) and the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class EC Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein), pro rata, based upon the respective Interest Accrual Amounts with respect to such Classes of Regular Certificates and Class EC Regular Interests for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocable to a Class of Class X Certificates shall, in turn, be allocated among the various Components of such Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective amounts of Accrued Component Interest with respect to such Components for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocated to any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, any Class EC Regular Interest or any Component of a Class of Class X Certificates shall be deemed to have first been allocated to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest for such Class of Regular Certificates, Class EC Regular Interest or Component, as applicable.

(k)          Amounts distributed on the Class EC Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and Section 4.01(d) shall be further distributed from the Exchangeable Distribution Account to the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates as set forth below:

(i)           On each Distribution Date, simultaneously with the distributions made on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b), the aggregate amount so distributed on the Class A-S Regular Interest on such Distribution Date shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class EC Certificates in the following amounts and in the following order of priority:

Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan(s) for which such Person is a Borrower Party)) available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

In the case of the Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1B hereto certifying to the effect that it is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to access all information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, Certificate Administrator and Trustee may each rely on (i) an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit M-1B hereto from the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan or (ii) an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit M-1C hereto from the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan(s). In the event the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such party shall promptly notify each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1D to the effect that such party is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to the Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan(s) listed in such notice and shall also provide the Certificate Administrator a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1E listing the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder and directing the Certificate Administrator to restrict such Excluded Controlling Class Holder’s access to the Certificate Administrator’s Website as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

-304-

Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Controlling Class Representative and all Controlling Class Certificateholders are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received notice from the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for any communication to the Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder or disclosure of Excluded Information if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan (including, in the case of an Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and/or any failure to label any such information provided to the Certificate Administrator).

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certification delivered by the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1B to the effect that such Person is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information with respect to a related Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any information related to the Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan to (A) the related Mortgagor, (B) any Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder, (D) any Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Mortgagor or the related Mortgaged Property or (E) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Mortgagor, and (ii) will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for access by an Excluded Controlling Class Holder to the Certificate Administrator’s website of any information with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is prohibited from accessing pursuant to this Agreement if such Excluded Controlling Class Holder provided an Investor Certification but did not indicate it was a Borrower Party.

The Certificate Administrator shall provide assistance in using the Certificate Administrator’s Website through the Certificate Administrator’s customer service desk at telephone number 000-000-0000.

-306-

Servicer referenced in such reports (collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto.

The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, this Agreement (including requirements in respect of non-disclosure of Privileged Information) or the applicable Loan Documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception) or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, then it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Holder as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature.

Further, the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide the Special Servicer with the information in the possession of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Special Servicer, in writing, to the extent required to allow the Special Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to those Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer.

The obligation of the Master Servicer to deliver the reports required to be delivered by it pursuant to this subsection is subject to the Master Servicer having received from the Special Servicer in a timely manner the related reports and information in the possession of the Special Servicer necessary or required to enable the Master Servicer to prepare and deliver such reports.

In connection with such request, the Master Servicer may require (1) a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Privileged Person and that such Person will keep such information confidential and will use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder may have under this Agreement, and (2) payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing copies of such reports or information (which amounts in any event are not reimbursable as Additional Trust Fund Expenses), except that, other than for extraordinary or duplicate requests, the Directing Holder (but, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, only if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) will be entitled to reports and information free of charge.

(d)           The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC^® in accordance with Section 3.06(a)(vi) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(e) shall include any applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

Section 4.03          Compliance With Withholding Requirements.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. In the event the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

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

-314-

that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For these purposes, “FATCA” means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof (including any revenue ruling, revenue procedure, notice or similar guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder as a precondition to relief or exemption from taxes under such Sections, regulations and interpretations), any agreements entered into pursuant to Code Section 1471(b)(1), and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 4.04          REMIC Compliance.

(a)           The parties intend that each Trust REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each Trust REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC: (i) prepare, timely deliver to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute) and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax Returns for each Trust REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each Trust REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on IRS Form 1066 for its first taxable year ending December 31, 2016, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of any Excess Interest Certificates) and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law; (v) obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4, and, within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person that the holders of the

-315-

Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each Trust REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such IRS Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each Trust REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R Certificates shall be such tax matters person. The Certificate Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund. The Certificate Administrator shall make any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provision) to any Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any holder of any residual interest of any Trust REMIC, past or present. Each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance thereof, is deemed to agree to any such elections and to the Certificate Administrator’s acting as agent for any tax matters person or other representative of each Trust REMIC that can be designated under the Code.

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action within its control and the scope of its duties if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator knows that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of a Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on a Trust REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph or the three preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the third preceding paragraph or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) not allow the

-316-

occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject a Trust REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (ii) not allow a Trust REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by such Trust REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause); and (iii) not permit the creation of any “interests,” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, in the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest, the Class C Regular Interest and the Upper-Tier REMIC Residual Interest, or in the Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Lower-Tier Residual Interest. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.

(b)          The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest and the Class C Regular Interest: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholder will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted for by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.

Section 4.05          Imposition of Tax on the Trust REMICs. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on a Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class EC Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from the REO Account and transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Accounts amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, and the Certificate Administrator shall return to the Special Servicer the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to pay such taxes); provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve

-317-

shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(vii) of this Agreement and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from the Distribution Account in determining the amount of Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by a Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Code Section 860F(a) or (ii) the amount of any contribution to a Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the related Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates or to the Certificate Administrator in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class EC Regular Interests until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on a Trust REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement in both cases, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or Section 4.04 or Section 8.01, in the case of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Certificate Administrator’s, the Authenticating Agent’s, the Certificate Registrar’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Trustee’s breaches, acts or omissions, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, in each case if a different entity than the Certificate Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent.

Section 4.06          Remittances; P&I Advances.

(a)           On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall:

(i)            remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loans (but not a Companion Loan) received by the Master Servicer in the Collection Period relating to such Distribution Date (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, received by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on

-318-

the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date and not previously so remitted to the Certificate Administrator);

(ii)           remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account an amount equal to the Available Funds applicable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the amounts referred to in clause (iv) below and clause (d) of the definition of “Available Funds”);

(iii)          remit to CREFC® the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee;

(iv)          make a P&I Advance by remittance to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable Monthly Payments for each Mortgage Loan (including any REO Mortgage Loan and any Mortgage Loan related to a Loan Combination, but not a Companion Loan) to the extent such amounts were not received by the Master Servicer on such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Determination Date (without regard to any grace period) in the same month as (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, was not received by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding) such Master Servicer Remittance Date), except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for each such Mortgage Loan shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC^® and the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee or the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee shall, to the extent the subject fee remains unpaid to the applicable party hereunder, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for payment to such party; and

(v)           remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) through Section 3.06(a)(ix) of this Agreement.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required or permitted to make an advance for Balloon Payments, Default Interest, Excess Interest or Yield Maintenance Charges, or delinquent Monthly Payments on the Companion Loans. The amount required to be advanced in respect of delinquent payments of interest on any Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists will equal the product of (i) the amount otherwise required to be advanced by the Master Servicer with respect to delinquent payments of interest without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period, reduced by such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not affect the principal portion of any P&I Advances.

Any amount advanced by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement shall constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master

-319-

Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement (with interest at the Advance Rate). The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any P&I Advance.

The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee by telephone if as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator has not received the amount of a required P&I Advance hereunder. If as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall not have made the P&I Advance required to have been made on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the P&I Advances otherwise required to have been made by the Master Servicer.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment on any date on which a P&I Advance is otherwise required to be made by this Section 4.06 if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make P&I Advances that it has made (or in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made) a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a P&I Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:

(A)          any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;

(B)          any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes;

(C)          the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed P&I Advance, if made,

-320-

would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee;

(D)          although the Special Servicer may determine whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a P&I Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a P&I Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 4.06;

(E)          any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to the recoverability of P&I Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee;

(F)          the Master Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date of any such non-recoverability determination made by the Master Servicer on or prior to such date;

(G)          the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee shall make such advance within the time periods required by this Section 4.06 unless the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, makes a determination prior to the times specified in this Section 4.06 that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;

(H)          the Special Servicer shall report, promptly upon making a determination contemplated in this paragraph, to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any P&I Advance made with respect to any previous Distribution Date or required to be made with respect to a future Distribution Date with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; and

-321-

(I)           notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable.

The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes (together with interest thereon) to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement and each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan.

With respect to P&I Advances and each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the “appraisal reduction amount” calculated by the related Outside Special Servicer or the related Outside Servicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement.

(b)          The determination by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the holder of any related Pari Passu Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (in the case of a Pari Passu Loan Combination), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances with respect to prior P&I Advances for the purpose of nonrecoverability determinations as if such amounts were xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances.

-322-

(c)           With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, if (1) the related Outside Servicer has determined that a proposed debt service advance with respect to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan or a related Outside Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be, or any outstanding debt service advance previously made with respect to such Outside Serviced Companion Loan is, as applicable, a “nonrecoverable advance,” and the related Outside Servicer has provided written notice of such determination to the Master Servicer, or (2) if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that a P&I Advance with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan related to such related Outside Serviced Companion Loan would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any additional P&I Advance with respect to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has consulted with the related Outside Servicer under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and they agree that circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loans have changed such that a proposed future debt service advance would not be a “nonrecoverable advance.” With respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer has determined that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such mortgage loan would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the related Outside Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days after such determination was made.

In connection with each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made under the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan.

(d)           If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice from Xxxxx’x, Fitch or KBRA to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in such capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by Xxxxx’x, Fitch or KBRA, as applicable, to any Class of Certificates and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice is not rescinded within 60 days, then the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other such parties and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and the applicable master servicer of any Serviced Companion Loan.

Section 4.07          Grantor Trust Reporting.

(a)           The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.

(b)           The parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor

-323-

Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Exchangeable Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall timely file or cause to be timely filed with the IRS Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the respective Classes of the Grantor Trust Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class EC Specific Grantor Trust Assets, any Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets and proceeds thereof, respectively, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

(c)           (i) The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. With respect to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of the other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations in the event that the IRS makes a determination that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph.

(ii)          The Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via the Certificate Administrator’s Website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

(iii)          The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

(d)          To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on the Certificate Administrator’s Website the CUSIP Numbers for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIP

-324-

Number so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP Numbers. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIP Numbers have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP Number, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP Number. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP Number information.

Section 4.08          Calculations.

Provided that the Certificate Administrator receives the necessary loan-level information from the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, the preparation of the Distribution Date Statements pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses to be made pursuant to Section 4.01. The Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Principal Distribution Amount and Interest Distribution Amounts for each Distribution Date and shall allocate such amounts among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement. Absent actual knowledge of an error therein, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any loan-level information provided to it by the Master Servicer. The calculations by the Certificate Administrator contemplated by this Section 4.08 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.

Section 4.09          Secure Data Room. (a) The Certificate Administrator shall create a Secure Data Room, and the Depositor shall, upon the earlier of (i) receipt of all the Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Diligence File Certifications and (ii) the 120th day following the Closing Date, deliver to the Certificate Administrator (but solely with respect to any Diligence File(s) received by the Depositor as to which it has received the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence File Certification) an electronic copy of the Diligence Files for the Mortgage Loans that have been uploaded by the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Designated Site. After the 120th day following the Closing Date, the Depositor may deliver any Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence Files to the Certificate Administrator if it has not previously delivered such Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence Files to the Certificate Administrator. Upon receipt thereof, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upload the contents of each Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. Access to the Secure Data Room shall be granted by the Certificate Administrator to (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) any other Person at the direction of the Depositor, in each case, upon the occurrence of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote and receipt by the Certificate Administrator of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit RR hereto (which shall be sent via email to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s website). In no case whatsoever shall Certificateholders be permitted to access the Secure Data Room. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to post any documents or information to the Secure Data Room other than the contents of the Diligence Files initially delivered to it by the Depositor with respect to each Mortgage Loan Seller.

(b)           The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any

-325-

Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the transaction or confirm that all documents and information constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of, or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to produce physical or electronic copies of any document or information provided to it for posting to the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to restrict access to the Secure Data Room on a loan-by-loan basis and any Person with access to the Secure Data Room shall covenant to access only the information necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

(c)           Upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer electronic copies of the Diligence Files to a successor certificate administrator designated in writing by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, and all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the Diligence Files shall be payable as part of the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its responsibilities upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07. Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust, the Special Servicer may direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room. Upon deletion, in no event shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to reproduce or retrieve such deleted files.

Article V

The Public Certificates (other than the Class X-A and Class X-D Certificates) shall be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. However, in connection with an exchange of Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates for Class EC Certificates and vice versa, each of the Class A-S, Class B, and Class C Certificates exchanged (whether surrendered or received) in such exchange shall be in denominations of at least $10,000 initial principal balance, and the initial principal balance of the Class EC Certificates exchanged shall equal the aggregate initial principal balance of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates being exchanged therefor (i.e. at least $30,000 initial principal balance). The Private Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) shall be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class X-A and Class X-D Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred only in minimum denominations of authorized initial notional amounts of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. If the initial principal balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class of Certificates (exclusive of the Class R Certificates) does not equal an integral multiple of $1, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial principal balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the initial principal balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1 that does not exceed such amount. The Class R Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class R Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

(b)           One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Administrator by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Administrator countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Administrator (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

Section 5.02          Form and Registration.

(a)           Each Class of Public Certificates shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

-327-

(b)           Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Global Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

(c)           No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then:

(i)            The Certificates of each Class of the Private Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Private Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class of Private Certificates (a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f) of this Agreement. During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

-328-

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Global Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.

(ii)           The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

(iii)          The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers and the Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners.

(d)          Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice; (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; or (iii) in the case of a Private Certificate, all of the applicable requirements of Section 5.03 of this Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Private Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such

-329-

Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.

(e)          If any Certificate Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

Section 5.03          Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a)           The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its principal offices books (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). In such capacities, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining the Certificate Register and a record of the aggregate holdings of Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates represented by a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Global Certificate and a Rule 144A Global Certificate and accepting Certificates for exchange and registration of transfer and (ii) transmitting to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any notices from the Certificateholders.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate (but not the Regulation S Global Certificate) for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate at any time during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate that is being transferred.

-332-

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

(g)           Non-Book Entry Certificate to Global Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate that is a Private Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to an institution that is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Global Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Global Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) such Non-Book Entry Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Certificate equal to the portion of the Certificate Balance of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit I to this Agreement (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate), in the form of Exhibit J to this Agreement (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Regulation S Global Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit K to this Agreement (in the event that the applicable Global Certificate is the Rule 144A Global Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, and shall, if applicable, direct the Certificate Administrator to execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion

-333-

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

(h)           Exchanges of Non-Book Entry Certificates. If a holder of a Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Public Certificate) wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon): (i) an investment representation letter from the proposed transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L-4 to this Agreement; and (ii) if required by the Certificate Registrar, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or the proposed transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (such opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such).

(i)            Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate (other than as otherwise set forth in Section 5.02(d) of this Agreement), such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (c) through (f) and (h) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

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

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

-334-

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

(m)          No Class R Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be (i) an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 (each, a “Plan”), or (ii) any entity or collective investment fund the assets of which are considered Plan assets under U.S. Department of Labor Reg. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, an insurance company that is using the assets of separate accounts or general accounts which include Plan assets (or which are deemed to include assets of Plans) or other Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of a Plan (each, a “Plan Investor”) to purchase such Certificate. In addition, no ERISA Restricted Certificate or interest therein may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan or Plan Investor, unless (i) such purchaser or transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to acquire or hold such ERISA Restricted Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Furthermore, no ERISA Restricted Certificate or Class R Certificate or interest therein may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or other plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is, to a material extent, similar to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 (“Similar Law”), or to any Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of such plan to acquire such Certificate or interest therein unless, in the case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate or an interest therein would not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. Except in connection with the transfer thereof by an Initial Purchaser or the Depositor, each prospective transferee of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or a Class R Certificate in Non-Book Entry Certificate form shall deliver to the transferor, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee representation letters, substantially in the form of Exhibit L-3 and Exhibit L-4 to this Agreement. Each beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or Plan Investor, (ii) in the case of a Certificate other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate, it has acquired and is holding the Certificates in reliance on the Underwriter Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter Exemption, including that the Certificates must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a rating agency that meets the requirements of the Underwriter Exemption and that such Certificate is so rated and that it is an Institutional Accredited Investor or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

Any attempted

-335-

or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

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

(i)            Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii)           No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, other than in connection with the initial Transfer thereof to the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit L-1 to this Agreement (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur tax liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate or the Transfer of any Class R Certificate by

-336-

any Initial Purchaser in connection with the initial offering of the Certificates, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L-2 to this Agreement (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the preceding clauses (x)(B)(1) or (3) are false.

(iii)          Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (n)(ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Code Section 860E(e) as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(iv)          The Class R Certificates may only be represented by Definitive Certificates and may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

(o)          Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Article V shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

Section 5.04          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall direct the Certificate Administrator to execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust Fund. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the

-337-

fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.05          Persons Deemed Owners. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such Certificate Owner (or prospective transferee) under the same circumstances, and subject to the same conditions, as such report, statement or other information would be provided to a Certificateholder.

Section 5.13          Voting Procedures. With respect to any matters submitted to Certificateholders for a vote, the Certificate Administrator shall administer such vote through the

(a)          Any matter submitted to Certificateholders for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed. The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Global Certificates through the Depository and by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

(b)          In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein.

Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of Holders initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.

Illegible or incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting deadline shall not be counted. Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.13(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

-344-

(d)          Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

(e)          If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.

-348-

(b)          Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.04 and Section 6.08(j), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on them except upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law; provided that, on and after the time the Trustee receives notice of resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) shall, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 7.02 of this Agreement as if the resigning party was a Terminated Party, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as though the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, had received a notice of termination.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, no resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer as contemplated herein shall become effective until the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates may be appointed as successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer. If no successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be payable out of the Trust; provided that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor at a servicing or operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 6.04 as successor to the resigning Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 6.04, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 6.04.

(c)          The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Controlling Class Representative and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. Except as provided in Section 6.04(d), no such resignation by the

-349-

Operating Advisor shall become effective until a replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The successor entity assuming the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement shall be entitled to the compensation to which the Operating Advisor would have been entitled hereunder after the date of assumption of such obligations. If no successor Operating Advisor can be obtained to perform such obligations for such compensation, additional amounts payable to such successor Operating Advisor shall be payable out of the Trust; provided that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor at an operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Operating Advisor. If no successor Operating Advisor has been appointed and accepted such appointment within 60 days after the resigning Operating Advisor’s giving of notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses associated with its resignation and the transfer of its duties (including costs and expenses incurred by each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies) pursuant to this Section 6.04.

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereunder, without payment of any penalty, cost or expense, and no replacement Operating Advisor shall be required to be appointed in connection with, or as a condition to, such resignation.

Section 6.05          Rights of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer.

Upon request, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, each of the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator its most recent publicly available annual financial statements or those of its public parent. The Depositor is not obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise its rights hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or the

-350-

Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and no such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to enable such requesting party to perform its duties hereunder, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not require any Person to prepare any reports, Certificates and information not required to be prepared hereunder.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.06          Master Servicer, Special Servicer as Owner of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Certificate Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Certificate Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval of the Certificateholders and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder to such action by delivering to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall have

-351-

consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

Upon a termination (pursuant to the first or the second paragraph of this Section 6.08(a)) or a resignation (pursuant to Section 6.04(b) of this Agreement) of the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), as applicable, shall appoint a successor Special Servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans (exclusive of any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) such successor shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02 of this Agreement, (ii) the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), as applicable, shall (at no expense to the Trust) obtain and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer and (iii) in the case of the appointment of a successor Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Loan

-352-

Combination, the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) or the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), as applicable, shall (at no expense to the Trust or any related Other Securitization Trust) obtain and deliver to the certificate administrator (if any) and the trustee for each related Other Securitization Trust (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee) a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer for each related Serviced Companion Loan.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer (with respect to all of the Serviced Loans other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) with a proposed successor Special Servicer, (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum or (b) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class EC Component with the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Serviced Loans (other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination), and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans (other than any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s

-353-

Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(b)          At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, if the Operating Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a replacement special servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans, meeting the applicable requirements of this Agreement, which recommended special servicer has agreed to succeed the then-current Special Servicer if appointed in accordance herewith; provided, that the Operating Advisor may recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination only if the related Outside Controlling Note Holder so consents. In any such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post a copy of such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and by mail send notice of such recommendation to all Certificateholders, asking them to vote whether they wish to remove the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s). Upon (i) the written direction (as evidenced by votes cast) of Holders of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class EC Component with the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose) within 180 days of the initial request for a vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (x) terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), (y) appoint the recommended successor Special Servicer and (z) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation and administering such vote shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. If the Certificate Administrator does not receive the required written direction contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence within 180 days of the initial request for such vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders), then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer and such recommendation shall lapse and have no force or effect. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder. No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 6.08(b). The Special

-354-

Servicer for a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination may not be replaced pursuant to this paragraph unless the related Outside Controlling Note Holder so consents.

(c)          In no event may a successor Special Servicer be a current or former Operating Advisor or Asset Representations Reviewer or any Affiliate of such current or former Operating Advisor or Asset Representations Reviewer. Further, such successor must be a Person that (i) satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to special servicers contained in this Agreement and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in the related Co-Lender Agreement, (ii) is not obligated or allowed to pay the Operating Advisor (x) any fees or otherwise compensate the Operating Advisor in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or (y) for the appointment of the successor Special Servicer or the recommendation by the Operating Advisor for the replacement Special Servicer to become the Special Servicer, (iii) is not entitled to waive any compensation from the Operating Advisor and (iv) is not entitled to receive any fee from the Operating Advisor for its appointment as successor Special Servicer, in each case, unless expressly approved by 100% of the Certificateholders.

(d)          The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Master Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified in Section 3.21(a) of this Agreement shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative, the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holder so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

(e)          No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until (i) the successor Special Servicer shall have executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement, (ii) the Depositor and, if applicable, each related Other Depositor shall have received the written notice and information with respect to the successor Special Servicer as set forth in Section 10.02(a) and (iii) subject to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation and, if required pursuant to Section 6.08(a), each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and their respective counterparts with respect to the Other Securitization Trust a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, in each case with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor.

(f)          Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.06(a) of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession.

(g)          In the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Special Servicer, terminate all of its

-355-

rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the applicable Mortgage Loan(s) and/or Serviced Loan Combinations and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including, without limitation, the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 of this Agreement and the right to receive ongoing Workout Fees in accordance with the terms hereof).

(h)          If (1) a replacement special servicer is appointed with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property in accordance with Article VII or this Section 6.08 or (2) an Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer is appointed with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan, such that there are multiple parties acting as Special Servicer hereunder, then, unless the context clearly requires otherwise: (i) when used in the context of imposing duties and obligations on the Special Servicer hereunder or the performance of such duties and obligations, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean (A) the applicable Loan Combination Special Servicer, insofar as such duties and obligations relate to the subject Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property, (B) the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, insofar as such duties and obligations relate to the subject Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property and (C) the General Special Servicer, in all other cases (provided, that in Section 3.15 and Article VII of this Agreement, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean each of the Loan Combination Special Servicers, the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicers (if any) and the General Special Servicer); (ii) when used in the context of identifying the recipient of any information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean (A) the applicable Loan Combination Special Servicer, insofar as such information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items relate to the subject Serviced Loan Combination or any related REO Property, (B) the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, insofar as such information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items relate to the subject Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property and (C) the General Special Servicer, in all other cases; (iii) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer the right to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and all other property held by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Agreement, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer only; (iv) when used in the context of the Special Servicer being replaced pursuant to this Section 6.08 by the Controlling Class Representative or the applicable Certificateholders, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer, the applicable Loan Combination Special Servicer or the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, if applicable; (v) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer any protections, limitations on liability, immunities and/or indemnities hereunder, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean each of the Loan Combination Special Servicers, the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicers (if any) and the General Special Servicer; and (vi) when used in the context of requiring indemnification from, imposing liability on, or exercising any remedies against, the Special Servicer for any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or for any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of duties and obligations hereunder or any negligent disregard of such duties and obligations or otherwise holding the Special Servicer responsible for any of the foregoing, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the applicable Loan Combination Special

-356-

Servicer, the applicable Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer or the General Special Servicer, as applicable.

(i)          References in this Agreement to “General Special Servicer” mean the Person performing the duties and obligations of special servicer with respect to the Mortgage Pool (exclusive of (A) any Serviced Loan Combination or related REO Property as to which a different Loan Combination Special Servicer has been appointed with respect thereto and (B) any Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property as to which an Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer has been appointed with respect thereto).

(j)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.08, if the Special Servicer is, or becomes, a Borrower Party with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, then the Special Servicer shall resign in such capacity with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan is not also an Excluded Mortgage Loan, the Controlling Class Representative shall appoint (and replace with or without cause) the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement. If such Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan is also an Excluded Mortgage Loan, the largest Controlling Class Certificateholder (by Certificate Balance) that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall appoint (and replace with or without cause) the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement. If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, neither the Controlling Class Representative nor any other Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to remove or replace the Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan. If a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the largest Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall have the right to appoint the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer. If (a) neither the Controlling Class Representative nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan pursuant to the foregoing or (b) a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, an Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall be appointed with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan in accordance with the immediately succeeding paragraph of this Section 6.08.

If (a) neither the Controlling Class Representative nor any Controlling Class Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.08(j) or (b) a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, upon resignation of the Special Servicer with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan, at the expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of such resignation to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall be appointed upon the written direction of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that holders of at least 20% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates exercise their right to vote). If such Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer has not been

-357-

appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence within 30 days after the Special Servicer has provided its written notice of resignation, the Certificate Administrator shall provide written notice to the resigning Special Servicer that such Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer has not been appointed and such resigning Special Servicer shall appoint such Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer.

If at any time the Person that had acted as the Special Servicer for any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination prior to such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, becoming an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan is no longer a Borrower Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property or an assumption of the Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, (1) the related Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall resign, (2) such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan, (3) such original Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, and (4) such original Special Servicer shall be entitled to all Special Servicing Compensation and Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, as the case may be, is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan.

The Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan and will be entitled to all Special Servicing Compensation and Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan.

(k)          If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Mortgage Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

Section 6.09          The Directing Holder and the Controlling Class Representative.

(a)          The related Outside Controlling Note Holder (if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is involved) or the Controlling Class Representative (if any other Serviced Loan(s) (exclusive of any Excluded Mortgage Loan(s)) are involved and a Control Termination Event does not exist), as applicable, shall be entitled: (1) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) that are Specially Serviced Loan(s), to advise the Special Servicer as to all matters; (2) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) that are Performing Serviced Loan(s), to advise the Special Servicer as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer for a Major Decision; and (3) in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, to exercise consultation and consent rights (if any) and attend annual meetings with the

-358-

related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is entitled to such rights pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.09(b) and the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.09(a), (a) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have 15 Business Days (or 60 days with respect to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Master Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision (provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Master Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required 15 Business Days or 60 days, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision), and (b) for so long as no Control Termination Event exists, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the related Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer (provided that (i) if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period or twenty (20) day period, as applicable, then the related Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action and (ii) the consent of the Controlling Class Representative shall not be required in connection with a Major Decision with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, that, as to both clause (a) and clause (b) above, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the related Directing Holder, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, with respect to a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Controlling Class Representative is the related Directing Holder, the Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to taking, or consenting to the Master Servicer’s taking of, any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Controlling Class Representative (other than with respect to any Excluded Mortgage Loan and only until the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent such consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event; and provided, further, that the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination that does not include an

-359-

Excluded Mortgage Loan and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event exists) and the Operating Advisor (if a Control Termination Event exists) may consult regarding a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination only if and to the extent that the holder of the related Split Mortgage Loan is granted consultation rights under the related Co-Lender Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining any consent or deemed consent of the related Outside Controlling Note Holder for “Major Decisions” (as such term or any analogous term is defined in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to the extent such consent is required under this Agreement or under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consent or consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions with respect to any Excluded Mortgage Loan.

In addition, each of (x) the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to each Serviced Loan other than (i) a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination and (ii) an Excluded Mortgage Loan, provided that a Control Termination Event does not exist) and (y) the related Outside Controlling Note Holder (with respect to a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination) may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) as such party may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection, advice or consultation contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any related Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation each of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or any Co-Lender Agreement or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by a Directing Holder or any advice from a Directing Holder would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify in writing such Directing Holder, the Trustee and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of a Directing Holder that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

-360-

For so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan, to exercise the consent or approval rights set forth in Section 3.01(i) of this Agreement; and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled, with respect to each Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan, to exercise any consultation rights permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement in respect of “Major Decisions” (or any analogous concept) and the implementation of “Asset Status Reports” (or any analogous concept) under, and within the meaning of, the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and attend an annual meeting with the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the holder of such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is entitled to such rights pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

The Directing Holder will have no liability to the Trust Fund or Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for error in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) a Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) a Directing Holder may act solely in its own interests (or, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class); (iii) a Directing Holder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates (other than, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, the Controlling Class); (iv) a Directing Holder may take actions that favor its own interests (or in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class) over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) a Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than, in the case of the Controlling Class Representative, to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and that no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against any Directing Holder or any affiliate, director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof for having so acted; provided, however, that the rights of a Directing Holder are subject to any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i)           after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement;

(ii)          after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports

-361-

or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) (other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) (other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan), but only to the extent consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required under such circumstances prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be permitted to consult with respect to any Serviced AB Loan Combination while any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the related Outside Controlling Note Holder;

(iii)         after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as a Directing Holder; provided that the Controlling Class Certificateholder shall maintain the right to exercise Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement (other than with respect to Excluded Mortgage Loans); and

(iv)         no Person may exercise any of the rights and powers of the Controlling Class Representative with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions from a Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) that would cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the related Mortgage Loan Documents, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, the related Co-Lender Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions or that would (i) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (ii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iii) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

(d)          Each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Administrator when such Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner) or

-362-

designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Certificate Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or Certificate Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under Section 3.29(d)(ii) of this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Controlling Class Representative, and otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party, and each of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information so provided by the Certificate Administrator.

In the event of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly contact the current Holder(s) (or, in the case of book-entry Certificates, Certificate Owners) of the Controlling Class (or any designee(s) thereof) or, if known to the Certificate Administrator, one of its affiliates or, if applicable, any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s), and determine whether any such entity is the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class (in effect after such change in Controlling Class) by Certificate Balance. If at any time that the current Holder of the Controlling Class (or its designee) or, if known to the Certificate Administrator, one of its Affiliates, or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Certificate Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance and the Certificate Administrator has neither (i) received notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Balance nor (ii) received notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement, then a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives either such notice.

Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the initial Controlling Class Representative shall deliver (which delivery may be by electronic mail) to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1E to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Controlling Class Representative, any successor Controlling Class Representative shall also deliver to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer a certification substantially in the

-363-

form of Exhibit M-1E to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Controlling Class Representative.

(e)          Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a majority of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class, by Certificate Balance, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of written notice of, or other knowledge of, the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class to select a new Controlling Class Representative.

(f)          If at any time a book-entry certificate belongs to the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Certificate Owner or Certificate Owners (through the Depository, unless the Certificate Administrator shall have been previously provided with the name and address of such Certificate Owner or Certificate Owners) of such event and shall request that it be informed of any change in the identity of the related Certificate Owner from time to time.

(g)          Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the Controlling Class Representative.

(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time when the Class E Certificates are the Controlling Class Certificates, the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Balance) may waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”). Whenever such waiver by an Opting-Out Party is in effect, (1) a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing; and (2) the rights of the holder of more than 50% of the Class E Certificates (by Certificate Balance), if the Class E Certificates are the Controlling Class of Certificates, to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and the rights of a Controlling Class Representative will not be operative (notwithstanding whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is or would otherwise then be in effect). Any such waiver shall remain effective with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as either (x) the Class E Certificates are no longer the Controlling Class of Certificates or (y) the Opting-Out Party has (i) sold a majority of the Class E Certificates (by Certificate Balance) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certified to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor that (a) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect

-364-

voting rights with respect to the Class E Certificates that it does not own, (b) there is no voting agreement between the Opting-Out Party and the transferee and (c) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect economic interest in the Class E Certificates (such sale and certification, a “Class E Transfer”). Following any such Class E Transfer, or if the Class E Certificates are no longer the Controlling Class of Certificates, the successor holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class of Certificates (by Certificate Balance) shall again have the rights of a Controlling Class Representative as set forth herein without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. Such successor Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 6.09(h) to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative or to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or to cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No successor Certificateholder described above in this paragraph shall have any consent rights with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Class E Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such Class E Transfer until such time as such Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

(ix)          with respect to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer ceases to have a commercial master servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch and that rating is not reinstated within 60 days or, with respect to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer ceases to have a commercial special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch and that rating is not reinstated within 60 days, as the case may be; or

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction of the Holders of at

-367-

least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (or, solely in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, upon the written direction of an affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) to the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it shall not be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the pool of Mortgage Loans under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) or (ix) above if the failure, default or event only has an adverse effect on a Serviced Companion Loan, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but shall be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall: (i) in the case of any such failure, default or event on the part of the Master Servicer, have the remedies set forth in Section 7.01(d) with respect to the Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan; and (ii) with respect to any such failure, default or event on the part of the Special Servicer, be able to require termination of the Special Servicer with respect to, but only with respect to, the related Serviced Loan Combination.

In the event that the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

(b)          If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(c) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii) or Section 7.01(a)(ix) and if the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then the Master Servicer shall continue to service as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(b). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(c)) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Loan Combinations under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as a successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.04 (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that, the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash bid (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency within 10 days after the selection of such Successful Bidder, then the Trustee shall repeat the bid process described above (but subject to the above-described 45-day time period) until such confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer.

-368-

Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement, the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Loan Combinations, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above-described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above-described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(b). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.

(c)          In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 and subsection (b) above notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) with all documents and records requested

-369-

by the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) to enable the Trustee or other successor to its responsibilities hereunder to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination and transfer of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any REO Account or Lock-Box Account shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination, and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Mortgagors, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.

(d)          Notwithstanding Sections 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c), if (1) any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), or (2) a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the Master Servicer may not be terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), but, at the written direction of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer shall appoint, within 30 days of such direction, a sub-servicer (or, if the related Serviced Loan Combination is currently being sub-serviced, to replace, within 30 days of such direction, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer). In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of any sub-servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all

-370-

compensation, of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the Mortgage Loan that is part of the related Serviced Loan Combination equal to any related Excess Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and any related REO Mortgage Loan). Such sub-servicing agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall agree to become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that such Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer and obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.01(d), the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

(e)          If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice (which, for the purposes of this clause (e), shall include any publications by Xxxxx’x, Fitch or KBRA of which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, as the case may be, has actual knowledge) from Xxxxx’x, Fitch or KBRA that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer is an approved master servicer or approved special servicer, as applicable, then such party shall promptly notify the others, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, to the extent known to the Certificate Administrator, of the same.

Section 7.02          Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.02, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or moneys shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement

-371-

prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer or Special Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the representations, liabilities or warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Trustee’s succession to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall at any time be outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 6.08, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, or if the Rating Agencies do not provide Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to the Trustee so acting, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution for which a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has been obtained (at the expense of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if the expense is not so recovered, at the expense of the Trust Fund), as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder; provided that, the related Outside Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to approve a successor Special Servicer with respect to any Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to approve a successor Special Servicer with respect to the other Serviced Loans. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder and (ii) in the case of the appointment of a successor Special Servicer, the Depositor and, if applicable, each related Other Depositor shall have received the written notice and information with respect to such successor Special Servicer as set forth in Section 10.02(a). Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the

-372-

Terminated Party hereunder; provided, further, that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses; and provided, further that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (and, if a Serviced Outside Controlled Loan Combination is affected, the Trustee shall consult with the related Outside Controlling Note Holder) prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03          Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)          Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.

(b)          Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received the notice information for such Serviced Companion Loan Holder after a request therefor) and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.04          Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Holders

-373-

(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the defaulting Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to remedy, after the presentation of reasonable documentation, the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses, costs and liability from the Collection Account or the Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be relieved of such liability for such expenses, costs and liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Section 7.05          Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of a Special Servicer, with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination only, by each affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any Operating Advisor Termination Event on the part of the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a Servicer Termination Event in connection with making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor 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. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with such default and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, promptly upon demand therefor and if not reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator within 90 days of such demand, from the Trust Fund; provided that the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, to the extent such amounts are reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a Servicer Termination Event under any of Section 7.01(a)(i) and Section 7.01(a)(ii) of this Agreement may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class EC Component of the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose), and (b) a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b)) the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, if any, that is affected by such Servicer Termination Event.

-374-

The foregoing paragraph notwithstanding, if the Holders representing at least the requisite percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to each affected Class of Certificates desire to waive a Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer, but a Serviced Companion Loan Holder related to a Serviced Loan Combination (if adversely affected thereby) does not wish to waive that Servicer Termination Event, then those Certificateholders may still waive that Servicer Termination Event, and the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder will be entitled to require that the Master Servicer appoint, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, a sub-servicer (or, if the applicable Serviced Loan Combination is currently being subserviced, to replace, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination. In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of a sub-servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency at the expense of the Serviced Companion Loan Holder. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation , of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage Loan equal to any related Excess Servicing Fee. Such Sub-Servicing Agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that the Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. Such sub-servicer (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall meet the requirements of Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained at the expense of the applicable resigning or terminated sub-servicer (and any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement shall so provide), and if the resigning or terminated sub-servicer fails to cover such expense, the Master Servicer shall do so. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.05, the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

Section 7.06          Termination of the Operating Advisor.

(a)          An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law

-375-

or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)           any failure by the Operating Advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Operating Advisor by the Trustee or to the Operating Advisor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Operating Advisor shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure with the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(ii)          any failure by the Operating Advisor to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure is given to the Operating Advisor by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)         any failure by the Operating Advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;

(iv)         a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(v)          the Operating Advisor shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Operating Advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)         the Operating Advisor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If an Operating Advisor Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Operating

-376-

Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Operating Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.

(b)          Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Operating Advisor and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Operating Advisor. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.06(b) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Operating Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Operating Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Operating Advisor. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(c)          On or after the receipt by the Operating Advisor of such written notice of termination, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Operating Advisor shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after (1) the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 of this Agreement (excluding resignation under the circumstances contemplated in Section 6.04(d) where no successor Operating Advisor is required to be appointed) or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Operating

-377-

Advisor, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor, which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee and shall be the proposed Operating Advisor in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trustee is the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates shall be the successor Operating Advisor. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Operating Advisor to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor , any related Outside Controlling Note Holder and, if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist, the Controlling Class Representative within one Business Day of such appointment, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide written notice of such appointment to each Certificateholder within one Business Day of the receipt of such notice of appointment from the Trustee. Except as contemplated by Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement, the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor shall not be subject to the vote, consent or approval of the holder of any Class of Certificates.

The Operating Advisor shall not at any time be the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Sponsor or an Affiliate of any of them. If any of such entities becomes the Operating Advisor, including by means of an Affiliation arising after the date hereof, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign or cause an assignment under Section 6.04 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 7.06(c), which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Unless and until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Operating Advisor and the provisions in this Agreement relating to consultation with respect to the Operating Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed hereunder.

(d)          Upon any resignation or termination of the Operating Advisor and, if applicable, appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Depositor, any related Outside Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (if a Consultation Termination Event does not exist) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider. In the event that the Operating Advisor resigns or is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such resignation or termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than any rights to indemnification arising out of events occurring prior to such resignation or termination.

(i)           Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, and after the curing or waiver of all such Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, opinions, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, that conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement without responsibility for investigating the contents thereof;

None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to expend or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer (other than the obligations to make Advances under Sections 3.20 and 4.06 of this Agreement), the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as

Section 8.10          Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund, the assets thereof or any property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act (at the expense of (i) the Trustee, if the need to appoint such co-trustee(s) arises from any change in the identity, organization, status, power, conflicts, internal policy or other development with respect to the Trustee, and/or (ii) the Trust Fund, if the need to appoint such co-trustee(s) arises from a change in applicable law or the identity, status or power of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in the event the need to appoint such co-trustee(s) arises from a combination of or none of the events described in clause (i) and clause (ii), the expense shall be

If the Depositor shall not be in existence or shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee solely at the direction of the Trustee.

The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, or if the separate trustee or co-trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. In no event shall any such separate trustee or co-trustee be entitled to any provision relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, such separate trustee or co-trustee that imposes a standard of conduct less stringent than that imposed on the Trustee hereunder, affording greater protection than that afforded to the Trustee hereunder or providing a greater limit on liability than that provided to the Trustee hereunder.

-394-

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(a)          The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representation Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth and to make any required remittances to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders in the month in which the final Distribution Date occurs and certain tax-related obligations) shall terminate immediately following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or Holders of the Class R Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (c), (ii) the exchange by the Remaining Certificateholder of its Certificates for all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (h) and (iii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or interest therein) contained in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date hereof. All such payments as contemplated by the preceding paragraph shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly following receipt thereof.

(b)          In connection with a termination contemplated by Section 9.01(a) of this Agreement, the Trust REMICs outstanding shall be terminated and the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof pursuant to which the applicable Notice of Termination is given and requiring that the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold for cash and that each such Trust REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation. For purposes of this Section 9.01(b), the Notice of Termination given pursuant to Section 9.01(c) shall constitute the adoption of the plan of complete liquidation as of the date such notice is given, which date shall be specified by the Certificate Administrator in the final federal income tax returns of each Trust REMIC. Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust REMICs, or the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for filing the final Tax Returns for the Trust REMICs and for the Grantor Trust for the period ending with such termination, and shall maintain books and records with respect to the Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the period for which it maintains its own tax returns or other reasonable period.

(c)          The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of

such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to this Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust Fund, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price (excluding the amount described in clause (f) of the definition of “Purchase Price”) of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust, (B) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, if any, included in the Trust, as determined by the Special Servicer (such Appraisals in clause (i)(B) shall be obtained by the Special Servicer) and (C) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase). Solely in the case where the Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class are effecting such purchase, the purchasing party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by the Trust (other than any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered as a result of (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of any party to this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder of any party to this Agreement, or (ii) the breach by any party to this Agreement of any of its representations or warranties contained herein) in connection with the purchase of such Mortgage Loans and property.

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to this Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).

-398-

(d)          If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (h) of this Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine as soon as practicable the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Administrator reasonably anticipates, based on information with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding Regular Certificates, and to the Trustee in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance or Lower-Tier Principal Balance, as applicable, of each such Class of Certificates and Lower Tier Regular Interest, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement (or, if no such Regular Certificates or any Class EC Regular Interests are then outstanding, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates) and (ii) to the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates, of any amount remaining in the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account and/or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, as applicable, in any case, following the later to occur of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund or (b) the liquidation or disposition pursuant to Section 3.17 of this Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund.

(e)          Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders at their addresses shown in the Certificate Register (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider) as soon as practicable after the Certificate Administrator shall have received, given or been deemed to have received a Notice of Termination but in any event not more than thirty days, and not less than ten days, prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders shall:

(i)          specify the Anticipated Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes specified therein;

(ii)         specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and

(iii)        state that the final distribution to Certificateholders will be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.

If the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Termination Date for any reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.

(f)          Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to

-399-

the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

(g)          For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the first option to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (h), and then the Holders of the Controlling Class representing more than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class, and then the Special Servicer, and then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of Class R Certificates representing more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in such Class, in each of the last four cases, pursuant to subsection (c).

(h)          Following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-D Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class D Certificates and the Class EC Regular Interests are reduced to zero, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (but excluding the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (and including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided that such Remaining Certificateholder shall pay the Master Servicer an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the then-outstanding Sequential Pay Certificates as of the day of the exchange and (C) three, divided by (ii) 360. In the event that the Remaining Certificateholder elects to exchange all of the Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (and including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Remaining Certificateholder, not later than the Termination Date, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account or a Distribution Account, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all remaining Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) by the Remaining Certificateholder on the Termination Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Remaining

-400-

Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Remaining Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (and including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Section 9.01. Thereafter, the Trust Fund and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (other than the making of certain payments to Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders, sending of certain notices, the maintenance of books and records and the preparation and filing of final tax returns), shall terminate. Such transfers shall be subject to any rights of any Sub-Servicers to service (or to perform select servicing functions with respect to) the Mortgage Loans. For federal income tax purposes, the Remaining Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of its remaining Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributed in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates. The remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or the Trust’s interests therein) are deemed distributed to the Remaining Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01.

ASSET REVIEW PROVISIONS

Section 11.01          Asset Review.

(a)          On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CREFC^® Delinquent Loan Status Report and/or the CREFC^® Loan Periodic Update File delivered by the Master Servicer for such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred during the related Collection Period. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Article XI shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by (i) posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) including in the Form 10-D relating to the Collection Period in which the Asset Review Trigger

-427-

occurred, notice of its determination together with the following statement describing the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur: “As of the [Date of Distribution], the following Mortgage Loans identified below are 60 or more days delinquent and an Asset Review Trigger as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has occurred.” On each Distribution Date occurring after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) whether an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) in the form of Exhibit SS within two (2) Business Days of such determination to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates deliver to the Certificate Administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders and conduct a solicitation of votes in accordance with Section 5.13 regarding whether to authorize an Asset Review. In the event there is an affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof (the “Asset Review Notice”) to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Holder and the other Certificateholders (such notice to Certificateholders to be effected by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room by providing the Certificate Administrator with a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR (which shall be sent via email to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Upon receipt of such certification, the Certificate Administrator shall grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the Certificate Administrator has received an Asset Review Vote Election within 90 days after the filing of a Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate

-428-

Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)          (i) Upon receipt from the Certificate Administrator of an Asset Review Notice with respect to a Delinquent Mortgage Loan, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1) – (5) below for Performing Serviced Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clause (6) below for Performing Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall promptly (but (except with respect to clause (6)) in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator) provide the following materials for such Delinquent Loan, in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted on the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.09, copies of all Asset Status Reports and Final Asset Status Reports related to each such Delinquent Loan, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, the “Review Materials”):

(1)          a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(2)          a copy of an assignment of any related Assignment of Leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(3)          a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (1) or (2) above;

(4)          a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(ii)          Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller will not be required to deliver any information that is proprietary to the Mortgage Loan Seller or any draft documents, privileged or internal communications, credit underwriting or due diligence analysis.

-429-

(iii)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the Asset Representations Reviewer) and is determined by the Asset Representations Reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review conducted pursuant to this Section 11.01 (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”).

(iv)          Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence Files posted to the Secure Data Room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”). Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

(v)          No Certificateholder shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (1) the Review Materials and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

(vi)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

(vii)          In connection with an Asset Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall comply with the following procedures with respect to each Delinquent Loan:

(A)          Within 10 business days after the date on which the Review Materials identified in clauses (i) through (v) of the definition have been received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to such Delinquent Loan or in any event within 15 days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer reasonably determines that any Review Materials made available or delivered to the Asset Representations Reviewer are missing any documents or information required to complete any Test for such Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or

-430-

the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents or information, and request that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly (but in no event later than 10 Business Days after receipt of notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer) deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents or information in its possession. In the event any missing documents or information are not provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 10-Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request such documents or information from the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required under the related Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver any such missing documents or information only to the extent such document or information is in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(B)          Following the events in clause (A) above, and within 45 days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare a preliminary report with respect to such Delinquent Loan setting forth (i) the preliminary results of the application of the Tests, (ii) if applicable, whether the Review Materials for such Delinquent Loan are insufficient to complete any Test, (iii) a list of any applicable missing documents or information together with the reasons why such missing documents or information are necessary to complete any Test, and (iv) (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) whether the absence of such documents or information will be deemed to be a failure of such Test (collectively, the “Preliminary Asset Review Report“). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide each Preliminary Asset Review Report to the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), who shall promptly, but in no event later than 10 Business Days of receipt thereof, provide the Preliminary Asset Review Report to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall include the following statement in the related correspondence when providing each Preliminary Asset Review Report to the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans): “This is a Preliminary Asset Review Report regarding an Asset Review under Section 11.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2016-GC36 Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-GC36, requiring action by you as the recipient of such Preliminary Asset Review Report. You are required to deliver the Preliminary Asset Review Report to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller no later than 10 Business Days of receipt of the Preliminary Asset Review Report”. If the Preliminary Asset Review Report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have 90 days from receipt of the Preliminary Asset Review Report (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. The Mortgage Loan Seller will be required under the related Loan Purchase Agreement to provide any information and documents or

-431-

any explanations to support a conclusion that (i) a subject representation and warranty has not failed a Test or (ii) a claim that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test, in any such case to the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt from the related Mortgage Loan Seller, deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer any such information or documents or explanations given to support a claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or a claim that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test.

(C)          Within the later of (x) 60 days after the date on which access to the Secure Data Room is provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Certificate Administrator, and (y) 10 Business Days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit OO, setting forth the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review, together with a statement that the Asset Representations Reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”), to each party to this Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Controlling Class Representative (if such Delinquent Loan is not an Excluded Mortgage Loan), and (ii) a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator (who shall include such Asset Review Report Summary in the Form 10-D relating to the Collection Period in which such Asset Review Report Summary is received and post such Asset Review Report Summary on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 10.04(e)). The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional 30 days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller(s), if the Asset Representations Reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Delinquent Loan(s) and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any information or documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans), the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in sufficient time to allow the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such information from any party to this or otherwise.

-432-

(viii)          Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Enforcing Servicer shall determine, based on the Servicing Standard, whether there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Enforcing Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Enforcing Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(a).

(ix)          In no event may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each case, shall be the responsibility of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or Section 11.01(b)(viii) of this Agreement.

(c)          The Asset Representations Reviewer and its Affiliates shall keep confidential any Privileged Information received from any party to this Agreement or any Sponsor (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall keep all documents and information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with an Asset Review that are provided by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer confidential and shall not disclose such documents or information except for purposes of complying with its duties and obligations hereunder.

(d)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 11.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (i) be affiliated with any Mortgage Loan Seller, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such

-433-

agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(e)          With respect to any Delinquent Loan that is an Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent any documents required by the Asset Representations Reviewer to complete a Test are missing or have not been received from the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer (with respect to any such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan that is being serviced by an Outside Servicer) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any such Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan that is being serviced by an Outside Special Servicer) shall, upon reasonable request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, request such document(s) from such Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer, as the case may be (or, in each case, such other party as contemplated under the related Outside Servicing Agreement).

Section 11.02          Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.

(a)          The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan (including any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan), and for any Distribution Date is an amount accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at 0.000691% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) on, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, the Cut-Off Date Balance of such Mortgage Loan and, in the case of any subsequent Distribution Date, the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in such Interest Accrual Period, and shall be calculated on the same interest accrual basis as the related Mortgage Loan and prorated for any partial periods. The Asset Representations Reviewer Fee shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a).

(b)          Upon the commencement of an Asset Review with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $15,000,000 , (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $15,000,000, but less than $30,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $30,000,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”), which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust Fund following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, however, that a statement of non-payment by the Asset Representations Reviewer ninety (90) days after an itemized invoice is delivered by registered mail to the address listed in this

-434-

Agreement for the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notice in accordance with this Agreement, together with evidence of delivery or attempted delivery of such invoice and reasonable follow up by phone or email, shall constitute satisfactory evidence delivered by the Asset Representations Reviewer of such failure to pay such amount; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer shall pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust. If paid by the Trust Fund as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a).

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Trust, as the case may be, for such fees pursuant to Section 11.02(b).

(d)          The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

Section 11.03          Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. In addition, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and shall resign if it fails to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer (and such failure results in an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event) by giving written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer will be effective until a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor Asset Representations Reviewer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Asset Representations Reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall bear all costs and expenses of each party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation and the transfer of its duties.

Section 11.04          Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Asset Representations Reviewer if the Asset Representations Reviewer and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate

-435-

personnel involved in the activities of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Section 11.05          Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(a)          An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)          any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such failure is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights;

(ii)         any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date written notice of such failure is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)        any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days;

(iv)        a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Asset Representations Reviewer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

(v)         the Asset Representations Reviewer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Asset Representations Reviewer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)        the Asset Representations Reviewer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any

-436-

applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 11.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of itself and of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination due to an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

(b)          Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Asset Representations Reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of such request to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Asset Representations Reviewer. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination) by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer and appoint the proposed successor. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that holders of the Certificates entitled to at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum elect to remove the Asset Representations Reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer shall be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

-437-

(c)          On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 11.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Holder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall at all times be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall immediately notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Holder of such disqualification and, if an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event occurs as a result, immediately resign under Section 11.03 of this Agreement, and a successor asset representations reviewer shall be appointed in accordance with Section 11.03.

(d)          Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor, each Rating Agency and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

(i)           to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;

(ii)          to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or to correct any error;

(iii)         to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, any Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Distribution Account or any REO Account, provided that (A) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (B) the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);

(iv)         to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

-445-

(vii)        to amend or supplement any provision of this Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

(i)           reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

(ii)          reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding;

(iii)         change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under this Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

(iv)         change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (1) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (2) Rating Agency Confirmation;

(v)          without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders of the Class or Classes of Certificates adversely affected thereby, change (a) the percentages of Voting Rights of Certificateholders which are required to consent to any action or inaction under

In the event that neither the Depositor nor any successor thereto, if any, is in existence, any amendment under this Section 12.07 shall be effective with the consent of the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, in writing, and to the extent required by this Section, the Certificateholders, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Underwriters and/or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable. Promptly after the execution of any amendment, the Master Servicer shall forward a copy thereof to the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), the Special Servicer, each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator and shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, as applicable, and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, Underwriters or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, under this Section 12.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The method of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, Underwriters or the Initial Purchasers, as applicable, shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe; provided, however, that such method shall always be by affirmation and in writing.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless, if requested by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), and/or the Certificate Administrator, such party shall have received an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator for any purpose described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund), to the effect that such amendment will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that

-447-

any Certificates are outstanding, and will not cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(c)). Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer may request and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) (which does not modify or otherwise relate solely to the obligations, duties or rights of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) of the first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement, and that all conditions precedent to such amendment are satisfied. Each of the Trustee, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian) and the Certificate Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian) or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. The party requesting an amendment to this Agreement shall provide to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, for posting on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, prior written notice of such proposed amendment.

Section 12.08          Confirmation of Intent. The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in and to the assets comprising the Trust Fund, including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, all principal and interest received or receivable with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than principal and interest payments due and payable prior to the Cut-Off Date and Principal Prepayments received prior to the Cut-Off Date), all amounts held from time to time in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and, if established, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the REO Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loans and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. This Section 12.08 shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.

Section 12.09          Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in the next sentence, no Persons other than a party to this Agreement, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (unless it is the Mortgagor under the applicable Serviced Companion Loan or an Affiliate thereof) and any Certificateholder, shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or obligations hereunder. Any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser (with respect to its rights to receive any documents, certifications, information and/or indemnification hereunder and

-448-

its rights under Section 2.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.07 of this Agreement), any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, any Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to its rights under Section 2.03(a), Section 2.03(b), Section 2.03(c), Section 3.09(d)(i), Section 12.07 and Section 12.16 of this Agreement and its rights as a Privileged Person), any Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party (with respect to its rights under Article X of this Agreement) and, subject to Section 12.02 of this Agreement, any Certificateholder (which are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement) shall have the right to enforce their respective rights and obligations hereunder (in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, to the extent they affect the related Serviced Companion Loan and provided that such Serviced Companion Loan Holder is not the Mortgagor under the related Companion Loan or an Affiliate thereof) as if each such Person was a party hereto.

Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement specifically state that no Mortgagor, property manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 12.10          Request by Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holder. Where information or reports are required to be delivered to a Certificateholder or a Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, upon request pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such request can be in the form of a single blanket request by a Certificateholder or a Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, with respect to such Certificateholder or a Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, such request shall be deemed to relate to each date such report or information may be requested. The notice shall set forth the applicable Sections where such reports and information are requested.

Section 12.11          Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 12.12          Submission to Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; (II) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT; (III) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (IV) CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AS PROVIDED FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER AND AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

Section 12.14          Cooperation with the Mortgage Loan Sellers with Respect to Rights Under the Loan Agreements.          

It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Loan Documents, it is expressly intended that the Mortgage Loan Sellers are entitled to the benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions that specifically run to the benefit of the lenders in the Loan Documents. Therefore, the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with any Mortgage Loan Seller, at the sole expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, with respect to obtaining the benefits of the provisions of any section of a Loan Agreement or securitization cooperation agreement providing for indemnification of the lender and/or its loan seller affiliates with respect to the current securitization of the related Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, reassignment to the related Mortgage Loan Seller of such sections, but no other portion, of the Loan Documents, to permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller to enforce such provisions for its benefit; provided, that none of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee shall be required to take any action that is inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, would violate applicable law, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, would adversely affect any Certificateholder, would cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or would result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions. To the extent that the Trustee is required to execute any document facilitating an

-455-

assignment under this Section 12.14, such document shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

A-1-2

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive

A-1-3

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class A-3 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

A-3-2

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive

No.: [1]

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class A-4 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

A-4-2

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive

A-4-3

of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

No.: [1]

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class A-5 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

A-5-2 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive

A-5-3 

of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

A-5-4

(vi) to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Exchange Act Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to

A-5-5 

any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable,

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class A-AB Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

A-6-2 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive

A-6-3 

of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-7-6

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-S Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class A-S Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the

A-8-2

extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-S Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-8-3

Solely in the case where the Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class are effecting such purchase, the purchasing party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by the Trust (other than any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered as a result of (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of the obligations or duties thereunder of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the breach by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of any of its representations or warranties contained therein) in connection with the purchase of such Mortgage Loans and property.

All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representation Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to make any required remittances to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders in the month in which the final Distribution Date occurs and certain tax-related obligations) shall terminate immediately following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or Holders of the Class R Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the exchange by the Remaining Certificateholder of its Certificates for all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or interest therein) contained in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.

The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating

A-9-2

Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class B Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-9-3

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Solely in the case where the Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class are effecting such purchase, the purchasing party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by the Trust (other than any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered as a result of (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of the obligations or duties thereunder of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the breach by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of any of its representations or warranties contained therein) in connection with the purchase of such Mortgage Loans and property.

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class EC Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class EC Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

A-10-2

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of multiple “regular interests” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class EC Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class EC Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any

A-10-3

Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate may be exchanged for other Exchangeable Certificates, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, payment of the applicable exchange fee).

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class C Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating

A-11-2

Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class C Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-11-3

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class D Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps

A-12-4

to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Class R Certificates (together with the Class X-D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-D Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held.

A-13-4

Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class E Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of

A-14-4

maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or

Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Custodian (if the Certificate Administrator is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable,

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (1) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (2) Rating Agency Confirmation,

Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class F Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class F Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of

A-15-4

maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held.

A-16-4

Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements and the SMC Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Loss of Value Reserve Fund; and (xiii) all Interest Deposit Amounts.

A-16-6

Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable,

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (1) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (2) Rating Agency Confirmation,

(v) without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders of the Class or Classes of Certificates adversely affected thereby, change (a) the percentages of Voting Rights of Certificateholders which are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (b) the right of the Certificateholders to remove the Special Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (c) the right of the Certificateholders to terminate the Operating Advisor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,

(vii) adversely affect a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent, or

(viii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser.

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if none of such Holders, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan) in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum

Solely in the case where the Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class are effecting such purchase, the purchasing party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by the Trust (other than any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered as a result of (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of the obligations or duties thereunder of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the breach by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of any of its representations or warranties contained therein) in connection with the purchase of such Mortgage Loans and property.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representation Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to make any required remittances to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders in the month in which the final Distribution Date occurs and certain tax-related obligations) shall terminate immediately following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or Holders of the Class R Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the exchange by the Remaining Certificateholder of its Certificates for all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or interest therein) contained in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.

Class R Certificates (together with the Class H Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class H Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.

A-17-6

Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable,

(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to the amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding,

(iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller,

(iv) change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (1) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (2) Rating Agency Confirmation,

Solely in the case where the Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class are effecting such purchase, the purchasing party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by the Trust (other than any liability, claims, expenses or costs incurred or suffered as a result of (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard of the obligations or duties thereunder of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the breach by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of any of its representations or warranties contained therein) in connection with the purchase of such Mortgage Loans and property.

Percentage Interest: [      ]%

Cut-Off Date: With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in February 2016 for that Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has its first due date in March 2016, the date that would have been its due date in February 2016 under the terms of that Mortgage Loan if a Monthly Payment were scheduled to be due in that month).

CUSIP: 17324T BA6

ISIN:     US17324TBA60

No.: [1]

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of an interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class R Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Mortgage Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B, Class EC, Class C, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates (together with the Class R Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer and as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents the “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-18-3

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount, if any, with respect to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with written wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in a notice to Certificateholders of the pendency of the final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. Subject to applicable state law with respect to escheatment of funds, if within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date or, with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution (exclusive of interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-Off Date); (iii) any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but, with respect to any REO Property relating to a Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related Loan Combination); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and any Excess

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.
