Administration of the Trust Fund The administration of the Fund shall be the responsibility of the Trustees. The Board of Trustees are responsible for the operational and financial sustainability of the Trust, and they shall administer the Fund in accordance with the express powers given to them pursuant to this Trust Agreement and the Plans. The terms of this Trust Agreement and the Plans shall be construed and administered so as to comply with the requirements to be an employee life and health trust under subsection 144.1(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Any term of this Trust Agreement or the Plans that would otherwise be inconsistent with the requirements of such provisions shall be modified to the extent necessary to comply with such requirements.
Administration of the Trust (a) The Trustee shall administer the Trust Property for the benefit of the Unitholders. In engaging in such activities, the Trustee shall follow or cause to be followed collection procedures in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Underlying Securities, the Swap Agreement, the indemnification offered by the Depositor pursuant to Section 10.05(b) and the Guarantee. The duties of the Trustee shall be performed in accordance with applicable local, State and Federal law.
(b) Subject to Article X, the Trustee is hereby authorized to perform, and from time to time hereafter, shall perform only those acts which are described in the Trust Agreement as obligations of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby specifically authorized to do the following on behalf of the Trust: to issue the Certificates evidencing Units; to execute and deliver and perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Swap Agreement; to establish and maintain the Unit Account hereunder; to accept delivery of the Underlying Securities and the Swap Agreement; to pledge the assets of the Trust (including the Underlying Securities) to secure the obligations of the Trust including obligations under the Swap Agreement; to sell the Underlying Securities through the Selling Agent in accordance with Section 9.05; to make Permitted Investments pursuant to Section 3.06; to liquidate the Trust pursuant to Article IX and to make distributions pursuant to Article IV.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trust shall not engage in any business or activities other than receiving the Underlying Securities and any Credit Support or other Trust Property and entering into the Swap Agreement as provided herein, holding the Underlying Securities, the Swap Agreement and any Credit Support (or other Trust Property), issuing Certificates evidencing Units, making Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06 and performing its obligations hereunder and under the Swap Agreement; provided, however, that during its existence the Trust shall not engage in any business or activity which will cause it to be or become an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act, or to be or become a closed-end investment company required to be registered, but not registered, under the Investment Company Act.
(d) The Trustee shall not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer the Underlying Securities, the Swap Agreement, any Credit Support or other Trust Property, or any interest of the Trust therein, to any Person or Persons, except to a successor trustee as provided in Section 10.07, through the Selling Agent in accordance with Section 9.05, in accordance with Section 10.02(a)(x), as required under any Swap Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder. This section shall not be construed to prohibit transfers of the Units.
(e) The Trustee shall have the legal power to exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges of holders of the Underlying Securities in which the Units evidence an interest; provided, however, that the exercise of such powers shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.02, Article X and the other provisions hereof. However, neither the Trustee (except as specifically provided herein or in the TIA) nor the Depositor shall be under any obligation whatsoever to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of Underlying Securities or Units.
(f) Except for actions expressly authorized by the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall not take actions reasonably likely to (nor fail to take actions, if such failure would be reasonably likely to) (i) impair the interests of the Trust in any Underlying Security, any Credit Support, the Swap Agreement or the Guarantee (or any other Trust Property); (ii) impair the value of any Underlying Security, any Credit Support, the Swap Agreement or the Guarantee (or any other Trust Property); or (iii) alter the classification of a Trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(g) Except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust Property including by (i) accepting any substitute obligation or asset for a Underlying Security or any Credit Support, (ii) entering into any amendment or modification of the Swap Agreement or the Underlying Securities, (iii) accepting any substitute guarantee for the Guarantee, (iv) adding any other investment, obligation or security to the Trust Property, (v) withdrawing from the Trust Property any Underlying Securities or Credit Support, (vi) terminating the Swap Agreement except in accordance with its terms or (vii) rejecting or otherwise failing to accept the continuing benefits of the Guarantee.
Compensation of the Investment Manager For the services rendered, the facilities furnished and expenses assumed by the Investment Manager, the Fund shall pay to the Investment Manager at the end of each calendar month a fee which shall accrue daily at the annual rate specified by the schedule of fees in the Appendix to this Agreement. The average daily value of the net assets of the Portfolio shall be determined and computed in accordance with the description of the method of determination of net asset value contained in the Prospectus.
COMPENSATION OF THE MANAGER BY FUND For all services to be rendered and payments made as provided in Sections 1, 2 and 4 hereof, the Fund will accrue daily and pay the Manager monthly, or at such other intervals as the Fund and Manager may agree, a fee based on the average of the values placed on the net assets of each Series of the Fund as of the time of determination of the net asset value on each trading day throughout the month in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto. Net asset value shall be determined pursuant to applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Fund. If pursuant to such provisions the determination of net asset value is suspended, then for the purposes of this Section 5 the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value of the net assets for each day the suspension continues. The Manager may, at its option, waive all or part of its compensation for such period of time as it deems necessary or appropriate.
Administration of Buydown Funds (a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer has deposited Buydown Funds in an account that satisfies the requirements for a Subservicing Account (the "Buydown Account"). The Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicing Agreement to require that upon receipt from the Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer will withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined amount that, when added to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor, equals the full Monthly Payment and transmit that amount in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement to the Master Servicer together with the related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its entirety during the period (the "Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds are required to be applied to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown agreement. The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance with the related buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be paid by the Mortgagor to fully prepay the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Master Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy), the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown Account and remit the same to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or, if instructed by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer pays all of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted pursuant to the preceding sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on the Mortgage Loan.
Administration of the Plan Subject to the final authority of the Board, the administration of the plan shall be vested in the Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department shall keep a record of the credits and deductions for each employee and shall provide a statement in hours to each employee annually of the state of their credit under the plan.
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. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Non-Lead 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 Non-Lead 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 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).
(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 Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, 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 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 the Noteholders as a collective whole. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(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 5(f) and 6), if the Servicer in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance herewith such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan 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 Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all 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 A Note 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 Note A Holders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes).
(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.
(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 all or a portion of any A Note. 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 (without reimbursement under Section 3) 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) (i) Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Major Decision be made, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the Controlling Noteholder and its Controlling Noteholder Representative, if any, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person shall implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision) unless and until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative).
(ii) If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of such Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of such 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 fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special 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 shall have no further consent rights with respect to such action (provided, however, that such failure to reply shall not affect the rights of the Controlling Noteholder to consent to any future actions). 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) (or before consulting with any Non-Controlling Noteholder to the extent such Non-Controlling Noteholder has consultation rights with respect to such action) 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, direction, objection or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) 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 the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of the 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 or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and the Special Servicer shall 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, any 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; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any 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 Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Noteholder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). After a Securitization of any Note that is not the Lead Securitization Note, references in this paragraph to a Non-Controlling Noteholder as such term relates to such Note shall mean the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative. 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 or Risk Retention Consultation Party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions and other events related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

Administration and Servicing of the Trust Fund Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Special
Administration of the Mortgage Loans (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, and in the best interests and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in accordance with any and all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement, the Insurance Policies and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.21, (i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all Mortgage Loans as to which no Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and all Corrected Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer (x) each Mortgage Loan (other than a Corrected Mortgage Loan) as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred, and (y) each REO Property; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall continue to collect information and prepare all reports to the Trustee required hereunder with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (and the related REO Loans), and further to render such incidental services with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(a), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name, with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to Sections 3.08 and 3.20, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, any limited powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable them to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
(c) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(d) In the event that any two or more Mortgage Loans are cross-collateralized with each other, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall service and administer such Mortgage Loans as a single Mortgage Loan as and when it deems necessary and appropriate, consistent with the Servicing Standard. If any Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then each other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized with it shall also become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, no Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan shall subsequently become a Corrected Mortgage Loan, unless and until all Servicing Transfer Events in respect of each other Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized with it, are remediated or otherwise addressed as contemplated in the definition of "Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan".
