(F) neither the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) nor the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall, in connection with any such approval or waiver, consent or agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term or provision of such Serviced Mortgage Loan that would result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the applicable Master Servicer’s approval of an assignment and assumption or further encumbrance be conditioned on the approval or absence of objection from the applicable Special Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer interacting with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with such Master Servicer approval) if either (x) the NCB, FSB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been met with respect to a Co-op Mortgage Loan or (y)(a) the transaction is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and (b) the conditions to the transaction that are set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents do not include the approval of the lender or the exercise of lender discretion (other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the transaction set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise of discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether a particular Co-op Mortgage Loan contains specific provisions regarding the incurrence of subordinate debt, or prohibits the incurrence of subordinate debt, or requires the consent of the Mortgagee in order to incur subordinate debt, the NCB Master Servicer may, nevertheless, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, without the need to obtain any consent or approval hereunder (and without the need to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation), permit the related Borrower to incur subordinate debt if the NCB, FSB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been met; provided that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the NCB Master Servicer shall not waive any right it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related “due-on-encumbrance” clause under any Mortgage Loan, pursuant to this paragraph, unless in any such case, all associated costs and expenses are covered without any expense to the Trust. (b) In connection with any permitted assumption of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause thereunder, the applicable Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall prepare all documents necessary and appropriate for such purposes and shall coordinate with the related Borrower for the due execution and delivery of such documents. (c) Notwithstanding Section 3.08(a), in connection with any transfer of an interest in the related Borrower under a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall have the right to grant its consent to the same without the consent or approval of the applicable Special Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer interacting with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with such applicable Master Servicer consent) if such transfer is allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents without the exercise of any lender approval or discretion other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the transfer set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise of discretion and does not involve incurring new mezzanine indebtedness, including a consent to transfer to any subsidiary or affiliate of such Borrower or to a person acquiring less than a majority interest in such Borrower; provided that, subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, if (i) the affected Serviced Mortgage Loan is or relates to a Mortgage Loan that, together with all other Mortgage Loans, if any, that are in the same Cross-Collateralized Group as such Mortgage Loan or have the same Borrower as such Mortgage Loan or have Borrowers that are known to be affiliated with the Borrower under such Mortgage Loan, is one of the then-current top ten Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) in the Mortgage Pool, has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance in excess of $20,000,000, or has a Stated Principal Balance that equals or exceeds 5% of the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool, or a Serviced Loan Combination is involved and the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement would require Rating Agency Confirmation if such Serviced Loan Combination was serviced thereunder, and (ii) the transfer is of an interest in the Borrower greater than 49% or otherwise would result in a change in control of the Borrower (for these purposes, “control” when used with respect to any specified person means the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing), then the applicable Master Servicer shall not consent to such transfer unless and until such transfer is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) (and, in the case of any applicable Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination, an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)) (the costs of which are to be payable by the related Borrower to the extent provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, which provisions shall not be waived by the applicable Master Servicer, and, if not paid, such costs shall be paid by and reimbursed to the applicable Master Servicer as an Additional Trust Fund Expense). The applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to collect and receive from Borrowers any customary fees in connection with such transfers of interest as Additional Master Servicing Compensation.
