If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 6.04 as successor to the resigning Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 6.04, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 6.04. (c) The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, any applicable Directing Holder and any applicable Consulting Parties and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. Except as provided in Section 6.04(d), no such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until a replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The successor entity assuming the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement shall be entitled to the compensation to which the Operating Advisor would have been entitled hereunder after the date of assumption of such obligations. If no successor Operating Advisor can be obtained to perform such obligations for such compensation, additional amounts payable to such successor Operating Advisor shall be payable out of the Trust; provided that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor at an operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Operating Advisor. If no successor Operating Advisor has been appointed and accepted such appointment within 60 days after the resigning Operating Advisor’s giving of notice of resignation, the resigning Operating Advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses associated with its resignation and the transfer of its duties (including costs and expenses incurred by each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies) pursuant to this Section 6.04. (d) In addition, in the event that, at any time following the end of the RR Interest Transfer Restriction Period, there are no Classes of Certificates or Uncertificated VRR Interests outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the Class S Certificates, the Combined VRR Interest and the Class R Certificates, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement shall terminate without payment of any penalty or termination fee (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). If the Operating Advisor is terminated pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then no replacement Operating Advisor shall be appointed.
