The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Serviced Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Serviced Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Serviced Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File. With respect to each such Serviced Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Serviced Loan to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgagor of such a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor.

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

By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose any information received in connection with its acquisition and holding of such Excess Servicing Fee Right in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Person then acting as the Master Servicer shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Master Servicer as Servicing Fees with respect to each related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one (1) Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer.

None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it. The Master Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), and in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool.

This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights, if any, of the Master Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.
Resignation of the Master Servicer The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.

Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to each other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each other party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and delivering a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency (or obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency, but only if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement).

If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects any Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Lead Securitization’s “collection account”.
