Loss Mitigation Advisor's Recommendations With Respect to Defaulted Loans (a) All parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Loss Mitigation Advisor's advice is made in the form of recommendations, and that the Loss Mitigation Advisor does not have the right to direct the Servicer in performing its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer may, after review and analysis of the Loss Mitigation Advisor's recommendation, accept or reject it, in the Servicer's sole discretion, subject to the standards of the Servicer to protect the interest of the Certificateholders set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Loss Mitigation and Consideration of Alternatives (i) For each Single Family Shared-Loss Loan in default or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable, the Assuming Institution shall undertake reasonable and customary loss mitigation efforts, in accordance with any of the following programs selected by Assuming Institution in its sole discretion, Exhibit 5 (FDIC Mortgage Loan Modification Program), the United States Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Program Guidelines or any other modification program approved by the United States Treasury Department, the Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other governmental agency (it being understood that the Assuming Institution can select different programs for the various Single Family Shared-Loss Loans) (such program chosen, the “Modification Guidelines”). After selecting the applicable Modification Guideline for each such Single Family Shared-Loss Loan, the Assuming Institution shall document its consideration of foreclosure, loan restructuring under the applicable Modification Guideline chosen, and short-sale (if short-sale is a viable option) alternatives and shall select the alternative the Assuming Institution believes, based on its estimated calculations, will result in the least Loss. If unemployment or underemployment is the primary cause for default or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable, the Assuming Institution may consider the borrower for a temporary forbearance plan which reduces the loan payment to an affordable level for at least six (6) months.
Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy (a) The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and the Master Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and amount that would be consistent with coverage customarily maintained by master servicers of mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer upon request, with a copy of such policy and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall (i) require each Servicer to maintain an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and a Servicer Fidelity Bond in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer to provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and bond is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies of such policies and of the certificates and notices referred to in clause (ii) to the Trustee upon request.
Sub-Adviser Insurance The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will maintain at its own expense an errors and omissions insurance policy with respect to the Sub-Adviser in a commercially reasonable amount based upon the amount of assets managed by the Sub-Adviser and commercial general liability insurance in a commercially reasonable amount. The foregoing policies shall be issued by insurance companies that maintain an A.M. Best rating of A- or higher, or are otherwise acceptable to the Adviser in its reasonable discretion. Any and all deductibles specified in the above-referenced insurance policies shall be assumed by the Sub-Adviser.

Interest or other income earned on funds in the Collection Account, Loan Combination Custodial Account and Mortgagor Accounts (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), shall be paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation and interest or other income earned on funds in any REO Account shall be payable to the Special Servicer. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any Mortgagor request with respect to any Performing Serviced Loan that either does not relate to a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision or relates to a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision that is being processed by the Master Servicer with the mutual agreement of the Special Servicer, to the extent such fees are (i) not inconsistent with the related Loan Documents, (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (iii) actually paid by or on behalf of 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. Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-1 to this Agreement, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-2 to this Agreement. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. 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. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. 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. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), 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.
Advances by Master Servicer and Trustee (a) In the event an Other Servicer fails to make any required Periodic Advances of principal and interest on a Mortgage Loan as required by the related Other Servicing Agreement prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the month during which such Periodic Advance is due, the Master Servicer shall make Periodic Advances to the extent provided hereby. In the event WFHM fails to make any required Periodic Advances of principal and interest on a Mortgage Loan as required by the WFHM Servicing Agreement prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the month during which such Periodic Advance is due, the Trustee shall, to the extent required by Section 8.14, make such Periodic Advance to the extent provided hereby, provided that the Trustee has previously received the certificate of the Master Servicer described in the following sentence. The Master Servicer shall certify to the Trustee with respect to any such Distribution Date (i) the amount of Periodic Advances required of WFHM or such Other Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) the amount actually advanced by WFHM or such Other Servicer, (iii) the amount that the Trustee or Master Servicer is required to advance hereunder and (iv) whether the Master Servicer has determined that it reasonably believes that such Periodic Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. Amounts advanced by the Trustee or Master Servicer shall be deposited in the Certificate Account on the related Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be obligated to make a Periodic Advance that it reasonably believes to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee may conclusively rely for any determination to be made by it hereunder upon the determination of the Master Servicer as set forth in its certificate.
Master Servicing; Termination of Servicer The Servicer, including any successor servicer hereunder, shall be subject to the supervision of the Master Servicer, which Master Servicer shall be obligated to ensure that the Servicer services the Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement upon the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, which failure results in an Event of Default as provided in Article IX of the Master Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer assume any of the obligations of Lehman Capital under the Master Servicing Agreement; and xx xxnnection with the performance of the Master Servicer's duties hereunder, the parties and other signatories hereto agree that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections and limitations of liability afforded to the Master Servicer under the Trust Agreement.

The determination by the Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder and the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon the same without any independent check or verification.

The Trading Advisor shall not be liable for the consequences of any decision by the Trading Manager to override instructions of the Trading Advisor, except to the extent that such consequences result from a material breach of this Agreement by the Trading Advisor or the Trading Advisor fails to comply with the Trading Manager’s decision to override an instruction.
Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer (a) Within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently using reasonable efforts to obtain the Appraisal referred to below) after the earliest of the date on which any Serviced Mortgage Loan (i) becomes a Modified Mortgage Loan following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event, (ii) becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, (iii) with respect to which a receiver or similar official is appointed and continues for sixty (60) days in such capacity in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, (iv) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or, if such proceedings are involuntary, such proceedings remain undismissed for sixty (60) days, (v) any Monthly Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) becomes sixty (60) days or more delinquent, or (vi) the related Borrower fails to make when due any Balloon Payment and the Borrower does not deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on or before the Due Date of the Balloon Payment, a written and fully executed (subject only to customary final closing conditions) refinancing commitment from an acceptable lender and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such commitment to the Special Servicer) which provides that such refinancing will occur within 120 days after the date on which the Balloon Payment will become due (provided that if either such refinancing does not occur during that time or the Master Servicer is required during that time to make any P&I Advance in respect of the Mortgage Loan, an Appraisal Trigger Event will occur immediately) (each such event, an “Appraisal Trigger Event” and each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Trigger Event, until it ceases to be such in accordance with the following paragraph, a “Required Appraisal Loan”), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been received (or, if applicable, conducted) within the prior nine (9) months and the Special Servicer has no knowledge of changed circumstances that in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment would materially affect the value of the Mortgaged Property. If such Appraisal is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer. Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), the Special Servicer, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), shall determine and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer the then-applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan. For purposes of this Section 3.19(a), an Appraisal may, in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of less than 241 $2,000,000 only, consist solely of an internal valuation performed by the Special Servicer. In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall also determine and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination that is an Excluded Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) and the related Other Master Servicer the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan and, in the case of a Serviced A/B Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan).
