Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole) and Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has confirmed (during any Subordinate Control Period) that the Controlling Class Representative has received written notice of such action, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s response. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Litigation Control relating to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that has either (i) been satisfied or paid in full, or (ii) as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been made, after receiving the required notice from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer set forth above that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, became aware of or was named in any such claims or litigation, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or the Special Servicer (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) may direct in writing that such Litigation Control be exercised by the Special Servicer; provided, that the Controlling Class Representative or the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as applicable, has determined and advised the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer’s actions with respect to such obligations are indemnifiable under this Agreement, and accordingly, any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses incurred up until the date such Litigation Control is so transferred and is not otherwise paid to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement) shall be payable by the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advice, direction or objection of, or consent withheld by, the Controlling Class Representative shall (i) require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan document, any Intercreditor Agreement or similar agreement, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Loan documents and to maintain the REMIC status of any REMIC created under this Agreement, or (ii) result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC created under this Agreement or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust or have adverse tax consequences for the Trust Fund, or (iii) expose any party to this Agreement, any Seller, any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, any Sub-Servicer or the Trust Fund or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, or (iv) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Trustee’s or the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will follow any such advice, direction or objection if given by the Controlling Class Representative, or initiate any such actions, that would have the effect described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall retain the right to make all determinations relating to any claims or judgments against the Master Servicer, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel in the Master Servicer’s reasonable discretion, the cost of which shall be subject to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, or if any judgment is rendered against the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding directly relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise directly relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither of the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, (A) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for 342 any delay due to the unwillingness of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, to grant such consent); and (iii) if any court finds that the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interest, whether as Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to preclude either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer from initiating any Litigation Control related action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as a representative of the Trust Fund.

• Control of Defense At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party's receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any indemnified Party's claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party. In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Indemnified Party.

Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses with respect to such contests shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer in proportion to their responsibility for such Taxes as set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, the noncontrolling Party shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to participate in such proceedings at its own expense.
