In no event shall the Servicing Agreement require the Servicer to enforce the rights of any Noteholder against any other Noteholder or limit the Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Noteholder against any other Noteholder; however, this statement shall not be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Noteholder with respect to any other Noteholder.

(b) The then Controlling Noteholder shall be entitled to exercise any notice and consent rights of the “directing holder,” “directing certificateholder,” “controlling class,” “controlling class representative” or any analogous class or holder under the Servicing Agreement except to the extent such Noteholder is expressly prohibited from exercising such rights under the terms of this Agreement in its capacity as the Controlling Noteholder.

(i) if an event of default under the Servicing Agreement has occurred (A) with respect to the Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement that affects a Noteholder or any class of commercial mortgage securities backed by a Note or a participation interest in a Note, and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated under the Servicing Agreement, then the Junior Noteholders or the Junior Operating Advisor acting on behalf of the Junior Noteholders (if the Junior Noteholders is the Controlling Noteholder) shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to appoint a sub-servicer solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan (or if the Mortgage Loan is currently being sub-serviced, to replace the current sub-servicer, but only if such original sub-servicer is in default under the related sub-servicing agreement); and (B) the appointment (or replacement) of a sub-servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan, as contemplated in clause (A) above, will in any event be subject to written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the securities issued in connection with any Securitization;

(vii) the Special Servicer appointed by the Junior Noteholders shall be named as the Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan under the Servicing Agreement as of the closing of the Lead Securitization, as long as such Special Servicer satisfies the requirements of the Servicing Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof shall be performed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

(f) At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that contains servicing provisions which are the same as or more favorable to the Junior Noteholders, in substance, to those in the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, all applicable provisions relating to delivery of information and reports necessary for any Non-Lead Securitization to comply with any applicable reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, however, that if any Non-Lead

(iii) the related Non-Lead Certificate Administrator will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor (i) promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of notice of the Securitization of the related Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of the related Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice shall also provide contact information for the trustee, the certificate administrator, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, the related Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the related “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of such executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the related “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information); and

The Master Servicer shall remit any compensating interest payment in respect of Note A-2 to the Note A-2 Holder and in respect of Note A-3 to the Note A-3 Holder, as applicable.

(i) In the event any filing is required to be made by any Non-Lead Depositor under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in order to comply with the Non-Lead Depositor’s requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the related Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including the related Non-Lead Depositor and related Non-Lead Trustee) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely comply with any such filing.

(j) Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall give each of the parties to the Servicing Agreement and the Junior Noteholders (that will not also be a party to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) notice of the Non-Lead Securitization in writing

(which may be by e-mail) promptly after the related Non-Lead Securitization Date.

Section 5. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a) Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy and no other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan except as set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement including the rights of the Junior Noteholders in their capacity as the Controlling Noteholder to consent to the Major Decisions. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below), and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Junior Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns

and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such Junior Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Note A-2 Holder, the Note A-3 Holder or the Junior Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

Subject to Section 11 and Section 12 hereof, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) to sell each Non-Lead Securitization Note together with the Lead Securitization Note as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, subject to the rights and consents of the Junior Note Holder in its capacity as the Controlling Note Holder, where required hereunder. In connection with any such sale (and subject to Section 11 and Section 12 hereof), the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Non-Lead Securitization Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Servicing Agreement and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Senior Notes shall be determined by the Servicer or the Trustee, as provided in the Servicing Agreement; provided, 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 bona fide other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for the Senior Notes, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for the Senior Notes, the Trustee shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected the Senior Notes, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Noteholders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be permitted to sell the Senior Notes if they become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (provided that such consent is not required if such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder: (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Senior Notes; (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 Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that are material to the price of the Senior Notes and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to the 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 Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Class Representative, the Junior Noteholders, the Non-Controlling Noteholder (or any controlling class representative or directing holder on its behalf under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Senior Notes unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Note as described herein. The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the original Non-Lead Securitization Note endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

The authority and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Note, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the Initial Note A-1 Holder from the Lead Securitization Trust in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by the Initial Note A-1 Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or a material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by the Initial Note A-1 Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Initial Note A-1 Holder or any document delivery obligation imposed on the Initial Note A-1 Holder under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by the Initial Note A-1 Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization.

(b) The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this

Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, including without limitation, the rights of the Junior Noteholders set forth in Section 5(f) below and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each of the Noteholders as a collective whole (it being understood that the interest of the Junior Noteholders is subordinate to the interest of the Senior Noteholders, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the rights of the Controlling Noteholder), and any Junior Noteholder who is not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Junior Operating Advisor to exercise their respective rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5(f) and 6), if the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Interest Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Senior Noteholders pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of the Senior Notes remaining the same as they are on the date hereof. The full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout shall be borne by the Junior Noteholders (up to the amount otherwise due on the Junior Notes). Subject to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 5(f) and 6), in the case of any modification or amendment described above, the Lead Securitization Noteholder will have the sole authority and ability to revise the payment provisions set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 above in a manner that reflects the subordination of the Junior Notes to the Senior Notes with respect to the loss that is the result of such amendment or modification, including: (i) the ability to increase the Senior Note Percentage Interest and to reduce the Junior Note Percentage Interest in a manner that reflects a loss in principal as a result of such amendment or modification and (ii) the ability to change the Senior Note Rate and the Junior Note Rate, as applicable, in order to reflect a reduction in the Interest Rate of the Mortgage Loan but shall not be permitted to change the order of the clauses set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Workout, modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan extends the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan, for purposes of this paragraph, the Balloon Payment will be deemed not to be due on the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan but will be deemed due on the extended maturity date of the Mortgage Loan.

(d) All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Controlling Noteholder shall be provided access to any website that a Privileged Person (other than a Rating Agency) would be permitted to access in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Controlling Noteholder is subject to any restrictions on the access to such websites contained in the Servicing Agreement.

(e) If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Noteholders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Lead Securitization Note (or any portion thereof). The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by the Senior Noteholders on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that one of any Senior Note is included in a REMIC and the other is not, such other Noteholder shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its respective Note in the REMIC or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Noteholders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

(f) (i) Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, prior to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer taking any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or taking any other action in respect of a Mortgage, the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage

Loan Documents (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision, the Servicer shall provide the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor) with at least ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) prior notice requesting consent to the requested Major Decision. Neither the Lead Securitization Noteholder nor the Servicer shall take any action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), unless and until the Lead Securitization Noteholder or the Servicer, as applicable, receives the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor) before implementing a decision with respect to such Major Decision.

The Controlling Noteholder, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Controlling Noteholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein or in the Servicing Agreement; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan the Servicing Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Securitization Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is not in the best interests of a certificateholders.

(ii) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of a Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of a Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font: “THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE. FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF THIS SECOND NOTICE WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR RIGHT TO CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THIS DECISION.” and if the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor) fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor), as applicable, shall have no further consent rights with respect to the specific action set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of any Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder under the Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event (as each such term is defined in the Servicing Agreement)), and the Special Servicer will be required to consult with each Non-Controlling Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, each Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by each Non-Controlling Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to each Non-Controlling Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Noteholders, whether or not such Non-Controlling Noteholders have responded within such ten (10) Business Day period.

(g) The Junior Noteholders, if then the Controlling Noteholder shall be entitled to a Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount upon satisfaction of the following (which must be completed within thirty (30) days of the Special Servicer’s receipt of a third party Appraisal that indicates such Control Appraisal Period has occurred (which such Appraisal the Special Servicer will be required to deliver to the Controlling Noteholder within two Business Days of receipt by the Special Servicer of such third party Appraisal)) together with the Special Servicer’s calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount applicable to the related Junior Note: (i) such Controlling Noteholder shall have delivered Threshold Event Collateral as a supplement to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, in the amount specified in clause (ii) below, to the Servicer, together with documentation acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Servicer on behalf of the Senior Noteholders in such collateral (a) cash collateral for the benefit of the Servicer or (b) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit with the Senior Noteholders as the beneficiaries, issued by a bank or other financial institutions the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “AA” by S&P, “A” by Fitch and “Aa2” by Xxxxx’x or the short term obligations of which are rated at least “A-1+” by S&P, “F-1” by Fitch and “P-1”

by Xxxxx’x (either (a) or (b), the “Threshold Event Collateral”), and (ii) the Threshold Event Collateral shall be in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, would cause the applicable Control Appraisal Period not to occur. If the requirements of this paragraph are satisfied by the Controlling Noteholder (a “Threshold Event Cure”), no Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to have occurred. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the applicable Controlling Noteholder shall be required to renew such letter of credit not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration thereof or to replace such letter of credit with a substitute letter of credit or other Threshold Event Collateral with an expiration date that is greater than forty-five (45) days from the date of substitution; provided, however, that, if a letter of credit is not renewed prior to thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit, the letter of credit shall provide that the Servicer may (and at the direction of the applicable Controlling Noteholder, shall) draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the applicable Controlling Noteholder shall be required to replace such letter of credit with other Threshold Event Collateral within 30 days if the credit ratings of the issuing entity are downgraded below the required ratings; provided, however, that, if such Threshold Event Collateral is not so replaced, the Servicer shall draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent a Control Appraisal Period from occurring; or (ii) the occurrence of a Final Recovery Determination. If the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, upon any redetermination thereof, is sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period without taking into consideration any, or some portion of, Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by the Controlling Noteholder, any or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Servicer shall promptly be returned to such Controlling Noteholder (at its sole expense). Upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan, such Threshold Event Collateral shall be available to reimburse each Noteholder for any realized loss pursuant to Section 3 or 4, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan after application of the net proceeds of liquidation, not in excess of the Senior Note Principal Balance and the Junior Note Principal Balance, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable interest rate and all other Additional Servicing Expenses reimbursable under this Agreement and under the Servicing Agreement. Any Threshold Event Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) shall be beneficially owned by the posting Noteholder who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The entire amount of Threshold Event Collateral, without a haircut or other reduction, shall be considered in determining the sufficiency of such Threshold Event Collateral to avoid a Control Appraisal Period.

(h) The applicable Servicer shall obtain appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

Section 6. Appointment of Junior Operating Advisor.

(a) Prior to a Junior Noteholder Control Appraisal Period, the Junior Noteholders shall have the right at any time to appoint an operating advisor to exercise their rights hereunder (the “Junior Operating Advisor”). The initial Junior Operating Advisor is set forth in the definition of Junior Operating Advisor. The Junior Noteholders shall have the right in their sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Junior Operating Advisor. When exercising their various rights under Section 5 and otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, the Junior Noteholders shall act through the Junior Operating Advisor. No Person shall rely on any action taken by any Junior Noteholder unless such action is taken through the Junior Operating Advisor. The Junior Operating Advisor may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, any Junior Noteholder, any officer or employee of any Junior Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Junior Noteholders or any other unrelated third party. No such Junior Operating Advisor shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Junior Noteholders). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Junior Noteholders under this Agreement shall be taken by the Junior Operating Advisor acting on behalf of the Junior Noteholders and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Junior Operating Advisor as actions of the Junior Noteholders. Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) may rely upon the appointment of the initial Junior Operating Advisor and shall not be required to recognize any Person (other than the initial Junior Operating Advisor) as an Junior Operating Advisor until the Junior Noteholders have notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such appointment and, if the Junior Operating Advisor is not the same Person as any Junior Noteholder, the Junior Operating Advisor provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses, telephone numbers, any fax numbers and any email addresses). The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer.

(b) Neither the Junior Operating Advisor nor any Junior Noteholder will have any liability to the other Noteholders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Junior Operating Advisor and the Junior Noteholders (whether acting in place of the Junior Operating Advisor when no Junior Operating Advisor shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to such Junior Noteholders hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Junior Operating Advisor may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Junior Operating Advisor or the Junior Noteholders, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Junior Operating Advisor, such Junior Noteholders or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Junior Operating Advisor nor any such Junior Noteholder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its

rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in the interests of any Noteholder.

(c) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder is the Controlling Noteholder, the Junior Noteholders acknowledge and agree that all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Junior Operating Advisor set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7. Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder, the Junior Operating Advisor and/or the Junior Noteholders shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination not be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to each Senior Note (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (B) the initial or successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence.

Section 8. Payment Procedure.

(a) The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 or 4, as applicable, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Whole Loan Custodial Account for the Notes established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to the each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

(b) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.

(c) If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to the Junior Noteholders before the Lead Securitization Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to the Junior Noteholders, such Junior Noteholders will, at the Lead Securitization Holder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

(d) Each Noteholder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Lead Securitization Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders and Junior Noteholders with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders and the Junior Noteholders under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 9. Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

The Junior Noteholders acknowledge that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead

Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Junior Noteholders and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Junior Noteholders in connection with the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that such Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Each Junior Noteholder acknowledges that each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of such Junior Noteholder and that any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to such Junior Noteholder in connection with any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by a Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above.

The Controlling Note Holder shall have no liability to the other Note Holders or any other party for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holders, and that the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Controlling Note Holder shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the other Noteholders and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with the such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence.

Section 10. Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has the right to institute, file, commence,

acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof, the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to each of the Note A-2 Holder, the Note A-3 Holder, the Note B-1 Holder, the Note B-2 Holder and the Note B-3 Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), such Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 11. Cure Rights of the Junior Noteholders.

(a) Subject to Section 11(b) below, and prior to a Junior Noteholder Control Appraisal Period, in the event that the Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loan by the end of the applicable grace period (the “Grace Period”) for such payment permitted under the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide written notice to the Junior Noteholders and the Junior Operating Advisor of such default (the “Monetary Default Notice”). The Junior Noteholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Monetary Default within ten (10) calendar days after receiving the Monetary Default Notice (the “Cure Period”) and at no other times. The Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Junior Noteholders’ or the Junior Operating Advisor’s failure to cure such Monetary Default within ten (10) calendar days after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Monetary Default. At the time a payment is made to cure a Monetary Default, the Junior Noteholders shall pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization Noteholder for all unreimbursed Advances (whether or not recoverable with respect to the Senior Notes, including principal and interest advances made with respect to Note A-2 or Note A-3 under any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), interest payable on Advances, any unpaid fees to any Servicer and any Additional Servicing Expenses. The Junior

Noteholders shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder, to pay any default interest or late charges under the Mortgage Loan Documents. So long as a Monetary Default exists for which a cure payment permitted hereunder is made, such Monetary Default shall not be treated as an Event of Default by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including for purposes of (i) the definition of “Sequential Pay Event,” (ii) accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) treating the Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided that such limitation shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Noteholder from collecting Default Interest or late charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Any amounts advanced by a Noteholder on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower to effect any cure shall be reimbursable to such Noteholder under Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11(a), the Junior Noteholders’ right to cure a Monetary Default or Non-Monetary Default shall be limited to a combined total of six (6) cures of Monetary Defaults, no more than three (3) of which may be consecutive, or Non-Monetary Defaults over the term of the Mortgage Loan.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Junior Noteholders shall be subrogated to the Senior Noteholders’ rights to any payment owing to the Senior Noteholders for which the Junior Noteholders make a cure payment as permitted under this Section 11 but such subrogation rights may not be exercised against the Mortgage Loan Borrower until 91 days after the Note is paid in full.

(d) Prior to a Junior Noteholder Control Appraisal Period, if an Event of Default (other than a Monetary Default) occurs and is continuing under the Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Non-Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide notice of such Non-Monetary Default to the Junior Noteholders and the Junior Operating Advisor of such Non-Monetary Default (the “Non-Monetary Default Notice”) and the Junior Noteholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Non-Monetary Default until the later of (a) the same period of time as the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents, without regard for the date of receipt by the Junior Noteholders of the Non-Monetary Default Notice, and (b) at least 30 days from the date of such Non-Monetary Default, to cure such Non-Monetary Default; provided, however, if such Non-Monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such period and if curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by the Junior Noteholders, the Junior Noteholders shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary to enable the Junior Noteholders in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Non-Monetary Default for so long as (i) the Junior Noteholders diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such Non-Monetary Default, (ii) the Junior Noteholders make all cure payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11(a) hereof, (iii) such additional

period of time does not exceed ninety (90) days, (iv) such Non-Monetary Default is not caused by an Insolvency Proceeding or during such period of time that the Junior Noteholders have to cure a Non-Monetary Default in accordance with this Section 11(d) (the “Non-Monetary Default Cure Period”), an Insolvency Proceeding does not occur and (v) during such Non-Monetary Default Cure Period, there is no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Monetary Default or the attempted cure. The Non-Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Junior Noteholders’ or the Junior Operating Advisor’s failure to cure such Non-Monetary Default within the applicable Non-Monetary Default Cure Period after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Non-Monetary Default. The Junior Noteholders shall not contact the Mortgage Loan Borrower in order to effect any cures under Sections 11(a) or this 11(d) without the prior written consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder.

Section 12. Purchase of the Senior Notes By the Junior Noteholders. The Junior Noteholders (or the Junior Operating Advisor acting on their behalf) shall have the right, by written notice to each Senior Noteholder (a “Noteholder Purchase Notice”), delivered at any time an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, to purchase, in immediately available funds, the Senior Notes in whole but not in part at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. For avoidance of doubt, if the Junior Noteholders elects to exercise its right to purchase a Note pursuant to this Section 12, it must purchase each Senior Note. Upon the delivery of the Noteholder Purchase Notice to each Senior Noteholder, the Senior Noteholders shall sell (and the Junior Noteholders shall purchase) the Senior Notes at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, on a date (the “Defaulted Note Purchase Date”) not more than forty-five (45) days after the date of the Noteholder Purchase Notice, as shall be mutually established by the Note A-1 Holder and the Junior Noteholders. The Noteholder Purchase Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Junior Noteholder’s failure to purchase the Senior Notes on a Defaulted Note Purchase Date will result in the termination of such right in respect of the Event of Default that caused such purchase right to be exercisable by the Junior Noteholders and not in respect of any future Event of Default. The Junior Noteholders agree that the sale of the Senior Notes shall comply with all requirements of the Servicing Agreement and that all costs and expenses related thereto shall be paid by the Junior Noteholders. The Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) three (3) Business Days prior to the Defaulted Note Purchase Date (and such calculation shall be accompanied by a listing of all amounts included in the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Junior Noteholders. Concurrently with the payment to the Senior Noteholders in immediately available funds of its respective portion of the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Senior Noteholders will execute at the sole cost and expense of the Junior Noteholders in favor of the Junior Noteholders assignment documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Junior Noteholders which will assign the Senior Notes and the Mortgage Loan Documents without recourse, representations or warranties (except the Senior Noteholders shall represent and warrant that it had good and marketable title to, was the sole owner and holder of, and had power and authority to deliver the Mortgage Loan or Note, as applicable, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than the interest created by the Junior Notes)). Subject to Section 5(f) hereof, the right of the Junior Noteholders to purchase the Senior Notes shall automatically

terminate upon a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property (and the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall give the Junior Noteholders ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intent with respect to such action). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title to the Mortgaged Property is transferred to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a designee on its behalf), in a manner commonly known as “the borrower turning over the keys” and not otherwise in connection with a consummation by the Lead Securitization Noteholder of a foreclosure sale or sale by power of sale or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, less than fifteen (15) days after the acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall notify the Junior Noteholders of such transfer and the Junior Noteholders shall have a fifteen (15) day period from the date of such notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder to deliver the Noteholder Purchase Notice to the Senior Noteholders, in which case the Junior Noteholders will be obligated to purchase the Mortgaged Property, in immediately available funds, within such fifteen (15) day period at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.

(a) Each Junior Noteholder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of its Junior Note except that any Junior Noteholder shall have the right to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, (i) to a Qualified Institutional Lender; provided, that promptly after the Transfer, the Senior Noteholder is provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or such Junior Noteholder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20, and such transfer would not cause any Junior Note to be held by more than five persons nor cause there to be no one person owning a majority of any Junior Note (provided that, for so long as any Junior Noteholders are a Common Control Parties, such Junior Noteholders will be count as one person for the purposes of this Section 19), and (ii) to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender; provided that such Junior Noteholder obtains (1) prior to any Securitization, the consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder or (2) after any Securitization, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Securitization then outstanding; provided that in each of case (1) and (2), (x) promptly after the Transfer, the Lead Securitization Noteholder is provided with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20 and (y) such transfer would not cause such Junior Note to be held by more than five persons nor cause there to be no one person owning a majority of any Junior Note (provided that, for so long as any Junior Noteholders are Common Control Parties, such Junior Noteholders will be count as one person for the purposes of this Section 19). If any Junior Note is held by more than one Junior Noteholder at any time, the holders of a majority of the Junior Note Principal

Balance shall immediately appoint a representative to exercise all rights of the Junior Note hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each Senior Noteholder’s prior consent, which may be withheld in such Senior Noteholder’s sole discretion, no Junior Noteholder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Junior Note to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The applicable Junior Noteholder agrees it will pay the expenses of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) in connection with any such Transfer.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Junior Noteholder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the Senior Noteholders or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate, taking into account all prior transfers) of its interest in the Junior Notes to any Person; provided that any such Transfer shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Section 19; provided, further that the Junior Noteholders shall not Transfer all or any portion of the Junior Note to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be void ab initio, absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. All Transfers under Section 19(a) and (b) shall be made upon written notice to the Senior Noteholders not later than the date of such Transfer, and each transferee shall (i) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Junior Noteholders hereunder with respect to the Junior Notes from and after the date of such assignment (or, in the case, of a pledge, collateral assignment or other encumbrance made in accordance with Section 19(e) by the Junior Noteholders of the Junior Notes solely as security for a loan to the Junior Noteholders made by a third-party lender whereby the Junior Noteholders remains fully liable under this Agreement, on or before the date on which such third-party lender succeeds to the rights of the Junior Noteholders by foreclosure or otherwise, such third-party lender executes an agreement that such third-party lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the Junior Noteholders hereunder) and (ii) agree in writing to be bound by the Servicing Agreement, unless the Servicing Agreement is not then in effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, in which event the parties will enter into or agree to be bound by any replacement servicing agreement therefor in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of any Junior Note in accordance with this Agreement, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to such Junior Note (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in the Junior Notes as described in clause (c) below). In connection with any such permitted transfer of a portion of the Junior Notes and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Senior Noteholders need only recognize the majority holders of the Junior Notes for purposes of notices, consents and other communications between the Senior Noteholders and such majority holders of the Junior Notes shall be the only Person authorized hereunder to exercise any rights of the Junior Noteholders under this Agreement; provided, however, the majority holders of the Junior Notes may from time to time designate any other Person as an additional party entitled to receive notices, consents and other communications and/or to exercise rights on behalf of the Junior Noteholders hereunder by delivering written notice thereof to the Senior Noteholders, and, from and after delivery of such notice, such designee shall be so authorized hereunder and shall be

the only party entitled to receive such notices, consents and such other communications and/or to exercise such rights.

(c) In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholder a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholder, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, however, that upon the occurrence of a Junior Noteholder Control Appraisal Period, the aforesaid delegation of rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(d) Each Senior Noteholder shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of the Senior Note without the prior consent of the Junior Noteholder (i) with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization Note prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including the Mortgage Loan Borrower and any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party; provided, however, that following any Transfer of the Senior Note, the Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no Senior Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of the Junior Note.

In the event that the Lead Securitization Noteholder has received a bonafide offer to sell or convey the Senior Notes to a Borrower Related Party, then, so long as a Junior Noteholder Control Appraisal Period is then ongoing, prior to the consummation of such sale or conveyance, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall deliver written notice of such offer to the Junior Noteholders specifying the terms, conditions and purchase price of such offer (a “Purchase Option Notice”). Upon receipt of such Purchase Option Notice the Junior Noteholders shall have the right to purchase the Senior Notes on the same terms, conditions and purchase price set forth in the Purchase Option Notice (the “ROFR”) by written notice to the Lead Securitization Noteholder within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such Purchase Option Notice. If the Junior Noteholders reject the ROFR, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have the right to sell or convey the Senior Notes to such Borrower Related Party, provided, however, that if the Lead Securitization Noteholder and such Borrower Related Party thereafter agree to a purchase price that is less than 95% of the amount set forth in the original Purchase Option Notice, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall deliver to the Junior Note Holders a superseding Purchase Option Notice setting forth such new purchase price and granting the Junior Noteholders a new ROFR; provided, further, that in such event, the ten (10) Business Day response period as set forth in this paragraph shall be reduced to five (5) Business Days. For the

avoidance of doubt, any sale pursuant to this paragraph shall be a sale of all of the Senior Notes as notes evidencing one whole loan.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without (a) prior to Securitization, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after Securitization, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to the other Noteholders and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each of the other Noteholders agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to the other Noteholder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Noteholders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Noteholders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Noteholders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan

Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Noteholder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Noteholder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 19(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

(f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) The loan made by the Conduit (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

(ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Xxxxx’x rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;

(iii) Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

(iv) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

(v) Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not, without obtaining the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

Section 20. Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding

sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 19 and this Section 20. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon a Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.

Section 21. Registration of the Notes. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial Note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the Initial Noteholders who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Noteholders hereby designate such person as its agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Notes to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 22. Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified, and the arrangement hereby be maintained, in a manner consistent with rules applicable to a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

Section 23. No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in any Mortgage Loan by the Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Junior Noteholders shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for any Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then the Junior Noteholders shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 32. Withholding Taxes.

(a) If any Senior Noteholder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Junior Noteholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Junior Noteholder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Note A-1 Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to the Junior Noteholder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to the Junior Noteholder), provided that the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall furnish such Junior Noteholder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Junior Noteholder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Junior Noteholder is subject to tax.

(b) Each Junior Noteholder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Noteholder against and hold the Lead Securitization Noteholder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and

disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Junior Noteholder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by the Junior Noteholder to the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to the Junior Noteholder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) the Junior Noteholders shall, upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization.

(c) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as reasonably requested by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer during the term of this Agreement, each Junior Noteholder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Noteholder substantiating whether such Junior Noteholder is a Non-Exempt Person and whether the Lead Securitization Noteholder is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if any Junior Noteholder (or, if the Junior Noteholder is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of the Junior Noteholder) is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if any Junior Noteholder (or, if the Junior Noteholder is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of the Junior Noteholder) is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Junior Noteholder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or applicable successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Junior Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to any Junior Noteholder in respect of its Junior Note or otherwise until such Junior Noteholder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Noteholder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 33. Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than Note X-0, Xxxx X-0, Xxxx X-0, Note B-2 and Note B-3) shall be held by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) who shall act as secured party under the Mortgage Loan Documents on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding the to the contrary in this Agreement, upon a Securitization of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than each Non-Lead Securitization Note) shall be held by the Custodian (as defined in the Servicing Agreement).

Section 34. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if a party has provided a facsimile number, (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iv) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by a written notice or (iv) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Junior Operating Advisor) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to the other Noteholders.

Section 35. Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 36. Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(a) The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf, and the Agent shall act on behalf of the Noteholders;

(b) The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 20;

(c) The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

(d) The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(e) The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

(f) The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 20; and

(g) The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

Section 37. Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 37, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Company, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to the Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. Xxxxxxx Sachs Mortgage Company, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. The termination or resignation of such Servicer, as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Servicer as Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the to the contrary in this Agreement, upon a Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.

Section 38. Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Junior Noteholder agrees that if, in connection with the Securitization, any Senior Noteholder determines that it is advantageous to resize its respective Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Junior Noteholder shall cooperate with the applicable Senior Noteholder to effect such resizing at such Senior Noteholder’s expense, as applicable; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (a) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any Junior Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (b) increase any Junior Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any Junior Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the resizing of any Senior Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion. Any cap on the Senior Noteholder’s obligation to pay any Junior Noteholder’s expenses pursuant to Section 40 of this Agreement shall not apply to any Junior Noteholder’s expenses in connection with a resizing pursuant to this Section 38 or any Securitization of a resized Senior Note. All Notes shall automatically be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 39. Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.

Section 40. Cooperation in Securitization.

(a) Each Noteholder acknowledges that any Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the applicable Senior Noteholder, the Junior Noteholders shall use reasonable efforts, at the applicable Senior Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with such Senior Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Senior Noteholder customarily adhere or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the applicable Senior Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with the Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Securitization, the Junior Noteholders shall not be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments, the Junior Noteholders or (ii) increase the Junior Noteholders’ obligations or decrease the Junior Noteholders’ rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the Securitization, the Junior Noteholder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the related Securitization such information concerning the Junior Noteholders and the other Notes as the applicable Senior Noteholder reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate. The Junior Noteholders covenant and agree that they shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the applicable Senior Noteholder in connection with the Securitization, as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it and the other Notes in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the applicable Senior Noteholder. The Junior Noteholders acknowledge that the information provided by it to the Senior Noteholder may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. The Senior Noteholder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, the Junior Noteholders.

(b) The applicable Senior Noteholder may, at its election, deliver to the Junior Noteholders drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, preliminary and final prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. The Junior Noteholders may, at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to any Junior Note and/or Junior Noteholder, and, if the Junior Noteholders elect to review and comment, the Junior Noteholders shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if the Junior Noteholders fail to respond within such time, the Junior Noteholders shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon. In the event of any disagreement between the Junior Noteholders with respect to the preliminary and final offering

memoranda, preliminary and final prospectus or any other disclosure documents the applicable Senior Noteholder’s determination shall control. The Junior Noteholders have no obligation and shall have no liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Senior Noteholders acknowledge and agree that (i) the Junior Noteholders shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with a Securitization of any Senior Note and (ii) the Junior Noteholders shall not be required to disclose any of the beneficial owners of the managed account on behalf of which it is holding the Junior Notes.
