Each Noteholder acknowledges that each Initial Note A Holder (if it is not already the trustee for a Securitization Trust) may elect, in its sole discretion, to include the related Note in a Securitization and agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with such other Noteholder, at such other Noteholder’s expense, to effect such Securitization. Subject

to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Noteholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the appointment of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, any Operating Advisor, any Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor, and the appointment of the Special Servicer as the initial Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement by the Depositor (subject to replacement by the Controlling Noteholder as provided herein) and agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder hereby appoints the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee in the Lead Securitization as such Noteholder’s attorney-in-fact to sign any documents reasonably required with respect to the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan on its behalf under the Servicing Agreement (subject at all times to the rights of the Noteholders set forth herein and in the Servicing Agreement). In no event shall the Servicing Agreement require any Servicer to enforce the rights of any Noteholder against any other Noteholder or limit any 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. Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Servicing Agreement to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, this Agreement, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicing Agreement, any intercreditor agreement and applicable law, and shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.

The Master Servicer or Trustee shall be required to provide written notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer and each Non-Lead Trustee of any principal and interest Advance it has made with respect to the Lead Securitization Note within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Protection Advance, first from funds on deposit in each of the Collection Account and the Companion Distribution Account that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and then, if such Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest Amounts on a

Property Protection Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization and, in the case of Property Protection Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances, from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below.

If a Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, the related Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees to indemnify (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties) against any Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust.

The Non-Lead Master Servicer may be required to make principal and interest Advances on a Non-Lead Securitization Note included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from time to time, subject to the terms of the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a principal and interest Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a principal and interest Advance to be made on a Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify each other servicer and trustee with respect to a Securitization of the amount of its principal and interest Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Note in the Lead Securitization) or the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed principal and interest Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding principal and interest Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Property Protection Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Property Protection Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a principal and interest Advance first, from the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Note for which such principal and interest Advance was made, and then, if funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of a Note in the Lead Securitization, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(d)               At any time prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Noteholder of the Lead Securitization Note shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with this Agreement and the Interim Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at all times while the Mortgage Loan is required to be serviced pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo is the Servicer thereunder, the Servicer (x) shall only be obligated to seek and/or take direction from SMC (and only for so long as SMC is the holder of a SMC A Note and is acting as Initial Agent, and if SMC ceases to be the holder of any SMC A Note or the Initial Agent, the Mortgage Loan shall cease to be serviced pursuant to the Interim

Servicing Agreement) and (y) shall not have any duty or obligation to seek and/or take direction from any other person (other than the Initial Agent), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative or any other Noteholder.

(vi)                     sixth, to the extent assumption or transfer fees actually paid by the Borrower are not required to be otherwise applied under the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, to provide reimbursement for interest on any Advances, to pay any Additional Servicing Expenses or to compensate a Servicer (in each case provided that such reimbursements or payments relate to the Mortgage Loan), any such assumption or transfer fees, to the extent actually paid by the Borrower, shall be paid to the Note A Holders (pro rata, based on their respective Percentage Interests); and

(vii)                  seventh, to each Noteholder, pro rata in accordance with their respective initial percentage interests in the Mortgage Loan.

(c)               All payments of principal on the Notes shall be made on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis. All expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Property (including without limitation losses of principal and interest, Property Protection Advances, Advance Interest Amounts, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees), Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts and certain other trust expenses, shall be allocated to the Notes pro rata, based on their respective Percentage Interests in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Advance of principal or interest is made with respect to any A Note, then Advance Interest Amounts thereon shall only be reimbursed from Default Interest and late payment charges collected on the Mortgage Loan, as and to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, from amounts paid by the Borrower to cover such Advance Interest Amounts.

Section 4.                Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

(a)               Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, 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 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 any Noteholder in its capacity as the Controlling Noteholder to consent to the Major Decisions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, each Noteholder (other than the Lead Securitization 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 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 Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead 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).

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 4(a), each Non-Lead 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 Note together with the Lead Securitization Note (and any other Notes included in the Lead Securitization) as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with, and to the extent provided in, the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Servicing Agreement. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Notes shall be determined by the Special Servicer or, if such offer is from an Interested Person, the Trustee; 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 from an Interested Person represents a fair price for a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Trustee will be required to (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. The Trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer will be required take into account such Appraisals and such other factors as are set forth in the Servicing Agreement. The appraiser conducting any new Appraisal for determining whether any offer from a Person other than an Interested Person represents a fair price for the Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Protection Advance if no Interested Person is offering to purchase the Defaulted Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not be permitted to sell any Non-Lead Securitization Note if the Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (provided that such consent is not required if such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is the Borrower or an agent or Affiliate (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) of the Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes; (b) at least ten (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 ten (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 maintained by the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan reasonably requested by such Non-Lead Noteholder that are material to the price of the Non-Lead Securitization 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) 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 Noteholder Representative, any other 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 Non-Lead Note unless such Person is the Borrower or an agent or Affiliate (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) of the Borrower.

Each Non-Lead 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 its Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, such Non-Lead 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 its original Non-Lead 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 each Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of each Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver its Non-Lead 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 no Note is held in a Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by such seller or any document delivery obligation imposed on such seller under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such seller in connection with the Lead Securitization.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative in the Securitization of an A Note (or the requisite percentage of the holders of the certificates backed by the related A Note and issued by the related Securitization as set forth in the related Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable) shall have the right to direct and cause the Special Servicer to sell such A Note in the related Securitization Trust separately and individually without the consent of any other Noteholder or any other Person in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement so long as such sale is permitted under the REMIC Provisions under the applicable Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(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 the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the rights of the Controlling Noteholder set forth in Section 4(f) below and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices. 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 Accepted Servicing Practices. 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 Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of the Noteholders as a collective whole, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any Non-Lead Noteholder that is not a Borrower Restricted Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative 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 4(f) and 5), 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, such waiver, modification or amendment shall be effected, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, in a manner consistent with the payment priority set forth in Section 3, and to the extent it is not, payments to the Note A Holders pursuant to Section 3 shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, and, in any event, 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 Noteholders in a manner consistent with the payment priorities in Section 3.

(d)               All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder

in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. Each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be provided access to any website that an investor would be permitted to access in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement, it being understood and agreed that each Non-Lead Noteholder is subject to any restrictions on the access to such websites contained in the Servicing Agreement.

The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall have, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, all of the same rights and powers of the controlling class representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, without limitation, the right to consent and/or consult regarding Major Decisions and other servicing matters, the right to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and the right to direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the controlling class representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made therein, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization 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 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 4(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 4(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 each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its 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 either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

(f)                The Special Servicer shall be required to (A) provide to each Senior Noteholder that is a Non-Controlling Noteholder, copies of any notice, information and report that is (or, without regard to the occurrence of any control termination event, consultation termination event or similar event, would be) required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder or its representative pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions, or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, within the same time frame that such notice, information and report is (or, if applicable, would be) required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder or its representative, and (B) consult with each such Non-Controlling Noteholder or its representative on a strictly non-binding basis, if after having received such notices, information and reports, any such 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 such Non-Controlling Noteholder or its representative; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any such 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 any such Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Noteholder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period. Notwithstanding the consultation rights of any Non-Controlling Noteholder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any recommended action outlined in an asset status report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Noteholder.

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Noteholder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor and any risk retaining party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

(g)               The Servicer shall obtain Appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Servicing Agreement, and determine and allocate

the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

(h)               The Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount. Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the A Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis (based on their respective outstanding Principal Balances).

(i)                 [RESERVED]

(j)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, the holder of any Note (or any interest therein) that is a Borrower Restricted Party (i) shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Noteholder Representative, (ii) shall have no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and (iv) shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report. In each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to such Person that is a Borrower Restricted Party only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

Section 5.                Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(a)               The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 4 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Restricted Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder and other Noteholders (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative 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 Controlling Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Servicers, the

Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Noteholder. The Controlling Noteholder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Noteholder Representative.

(b)               Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to any other Noteholder 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 Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Controlling Noteholder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative 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 Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor such Controlling 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)               The other Noteholders acknowledge and agree all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 4(f) and this Section 5 shall be exercisable by the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement as and to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 6.                Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), 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, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) 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 and/or Controlling Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 6); such termination shall not be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (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. The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation. In addition, to the extent afforded such right under the Servicing Agreement, certain specified holders (or a specified threshold of holders) of certificates backed by the Controlling Note shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, in accordance with procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.                Payment Procedure.

(a)               The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account for the Notes established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master 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 Master Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Borrower.

(b)               If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master 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 Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master 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 Master Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master 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 the 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 Master Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s

(or the Master Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master 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 Noteholder (or the Master 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 Master Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 7 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 7 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

Section 8.               [RESERVED]

Section 9.               [RESERVED]

Section 10.            [RESERVED]

Section 11.            [RESERVED]

Section 12.            Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) 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.

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 each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with 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 negligence.

Section 13.            Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) hereof and the Accepted Servicing Practices, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master 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 Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of

the Borrower. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) hereof and the Accepted Servicing Practices, 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 Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f), 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 the Noteholders (including the Controlling Noteholder) in connection with any case by or against the 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 4(f), each other 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 Accepted Servicing Practices.

Section 15.                       Representations of each Initial Note A Holder. Each Initial Note A Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Noteholder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Noteholder and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Noteholder as applicable enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each Initial Note A Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its respective business. Each Initial Note A Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Noteholder, (b) to such Noteholder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Noteholder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Noteholder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Noteholder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Each Initial Note A Holder acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

Section 16.            [RESERVED]

Section 17.            No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the

relationship created hereby between or among any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. None of the Noteholders shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, and if such Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the such Noteholder or their respective Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the offering Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder an interest in any future loans originated by such Noteholder or their respective Affiliates.

Section 18.            Not a Security. No Note shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Section 19.            Other Business Activities of the Noteholders. Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any such party and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

Section 20.            Sale of the Notes.

(a)               Each Noteholder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of its respective Note except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, except with respect to any Transfer between SMC or BMO and their respective Affiliates, each non-transferring Noteholder shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Noteholder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 21 (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement). If a Noteholder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain the consent of each non-transferring Noteholder and, if such non-transferring Noteholder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, a confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Noteholder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Noteholder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without a confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Borrower or a Borrower Restricted Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring

Noteholder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of each non-transferring Noteholder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to the confirmation from the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Noteholder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the other Noteholder, the Rating Agencies or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 20(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization Note, together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

For the purposes of this Agreement, if any Rating Agency shall, in writing, waive, decline or refuse to review or otherwise engage any request for a confirmation hereunder from such Rating Agency that a proposed action will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization, such waiver, declination, or refusal shall be deemed to eliminate, for such request only, the condition that such confirmation by such Rating Agency (only) be obtained for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any such waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any request for such confirmation hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any subsequent request for such Rating Agency confirmation hereunder and the condition for such Rating Agency confirmation pursuant to this Agreement for any subsequent request shall apply regardless of any previous waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in such prior request.

(b)               [RESERVED]

(c)               In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest by a Noteholder of 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 Noteholders and any Persons acting on their 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 Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right (if any) to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder or a Non-Controlling Noteholder, as applicable, hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(d)               Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the 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 20(d), 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 the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder 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 each 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 each other Noteholder 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 each other Noteholder 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 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 20(d) 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.

(e)               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 (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit 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 ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ 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 21.            Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding (x) any participant, (y) any Note Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge and (z) any Transfer between SMC or BMO and their respective Affiliates), 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 20, 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. In connection with a Transfer of a Note, the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 20 and this Section 21. 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 22.            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 names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 21, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, shall be registered in the Note Register. 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 Note A Holders 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 22 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 Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c).

Section 23.            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 24.            No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by the Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 25.            Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(b)               CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)               AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

(d)               AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 27.            Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Servicing Agreement, (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 39 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 28.            Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 20, each Noteholder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such

assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments and grant additional Notes.

Section 29.            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement (and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, each officer’s certificate, receipt or similar closing document delivered in connection with the closing of this transaction) in Portable Document Format (PDF), Tagged Image File Format (TIF or TIFF), .JPG or .JPEG file format, or by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 30.            Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

Section 31.            Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 32.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 33.            Withholding Taxes.

(a)               If the Lead Securitization Noteholder or the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Noteholder, or the Master Servicer on its behalf, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interest in such payment (all amounts so withheld being deemed paid to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder), provided that the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization 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 Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is subject to tax.

(b)               The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders 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 Master Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to any Non-Lead

Securitization Noteholder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization 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) such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder 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)               Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder represents to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (for the benefit of the Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Noteholder nor the Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. From time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (if not included at such time in the Lead Securitization Trust) shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Noteholder substantiating that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder is not 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 Non-Lead Securitization 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 Non-Lead Securitization 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 Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Non-Lead Securitization 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-E or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder, as evidence of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder in respect of its respective Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Noteholder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

Section 34.            Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) will 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 anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the

Custodian. Each Note shall be held by the respective Noteholder or a custodian appointed by such Noteholder.

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 Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder.

Section 36.            Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

Section 37.            Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

(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 21; 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 38.            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 38, 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. SMC, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. SMC, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of the Initial Agent or any successor thereto prior to such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Certificate Administrator, as Certificate Administrator under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Certificate Administrator as Agent under this Agreement.

Section 39.            Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii) below in this paragraph, that if a Senior Noteholder determines that it is advantageous to resize one or more of its Senior Notes by causing the Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Senior Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; 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 Senior Note or Senior Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average Interest Rate of all outstanding New Notes (based on the relative principal balance of such New Notes) following the creation thereof is the same as the Interest Rate of the related Senior Note or Senior Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. For the avoidance of doubt, any New Note that is created in a resizing contemplated by this Section 39 shall be a “Note”, an “A Note” and a “Senior Note” hereunder, and all definitions hereunder shall be construed accordingly.

Section 40.            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 41.            Electronic Signatures. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the transaction consisting of this Agreement (and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, each officer’s certificate, receipt or similar closing document delivered in connection with the closing of this transaction) may be conducted by electronic means. Each party agrees, and acknowledges that it is such party’s intent, that if such party signs this Agreement (or, if applicable, such closing document) using an electronic signature, it is signing, adopting, and accepting this Agreement or such closing document and that signing this Agreement or such closing document using an electronic signature is the legal equivalent of having placed its handwritten signature on this Agreement or such closing document on paper. The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 42.            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 of an A Note, at the request of the related Noteholder, each other Noteholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres 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 requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the 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, no other Noteholder shall 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 any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of an A Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the related Securitization such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with its Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any

offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting Noteholder pursuant to this Section 42 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Note A Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 42.

(b)               A Note A Holder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may, at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) 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 such other Noteholder fails to respond within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon (but no failure to comment shall constitute a waiver of such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control (the parties acknowledging that no inaccuracy in such documents shall in any respect prejudice any such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself and/or regarding any Notes it is contributing to the subject Securitization.

(c)               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Note A Holders acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their respective separate Securitizations of A Notes (other than to the extent such Noteholder is participating in such Securitization), and (ii) any such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Note A Holder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with its Securitization.
