Appointment of Co-Trust Administrator or Separate Trust Administrator Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trust Administrator to act as co-trust administrator or co-trust administrators jointly with the Trust Administrator, or separate trust administrator or separate trust administrators, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the applicable Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trust Administrator alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trust administrator or separate trust administrator hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trust administrator under Section 10.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trust administrator or separate trust administrator shall be required under Section 10.08.

It is furthermore understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the obligations of any Servicer are set forth in their entirety in such Servicer’s related Servicing Agreement and such Servicer has no obligations under and is not otherwise bound by the terms of this Agreement.
No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Trustee or Certificateholders Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Master Servicer alone and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06. The foregoing provision shall not in any way limit a Subservicer's obligation to cure an omission or defect or to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as referred to in Section 2.02 hereof.
Successor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee Any successor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable. The predecessor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, the successor Owner Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.
Rights of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement.

In the event the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and no such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise. Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to enable such requesting party to perform its duties hereunder, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not require any Person to prepare any reports, Certificates and information not required to be prepared hereunder. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Indemnification of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (a) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, including the powers of attorney delivered pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.05 hereof, the Assignment Agreements, the Custodial Agreement or the Certificates (i) related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Trustee shall have given the Master Servicer and the Seller written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof; provided, however that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its indemnification obligations hereunder. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator and the termination of this Agreement.
