The Master Servicer shall advise the Trustee when, in its good faith opinion, a separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable as aforesaid. The separate trustees or co-trustees so appointed shall be trustees for the benefit of all of the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee, or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.

If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. No separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.07 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment thereof shall be required under Section 8.09 hereof.

Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Holder of the Common Securities and the Property Trustee shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to act as separate trustee of any such Trust Property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.07. Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged, and delivered by the Depositor. Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: (i) The Trust Securities shall be executed, authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustees hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by the Trustees. (ii) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. (iii) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section. (iv) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder. (v) The Trustees shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee.

Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, and after the curing or waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, that may have occurred, undertakes with respect to the Trust to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. None of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties hereunder. In case a Servicer Termination Event or a Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.4, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a prudent institution would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than the negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee in the exercise of such right. The Certificate Administrator undertakes to perform at all times such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right of the Certificate Administrator shall be construed as a duty and the Certificate Administrator shall not be answerable for other than the negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Certificate Administrator in the exercise of such right. The Trustee (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have the power to exercise all the rights of a holder of the Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Trust Interest Owners and the Companion Loan Holders, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Lender’s obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be exercised by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement. (b) Subject to Sections 8.2(a) and 8.3, each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine, or cause to be examined, such instruments to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein; provided, however, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the legality, ownership, title, validity or enforceability of any such aforementioned document furnished by any other party hereto, and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may or may not act upon same. (c) Subject to Section 8.3, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its failure to perform its obligations in compliance with this Agreement, or its own willful misconduct or bad faith; provided, however: (i) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, and each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and/or the Certificate Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder; (ii) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or such Responsible Officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement; (iv) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer to comply with any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in Section 7.1 or any other act or circumstance upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to take action unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure, act or circumstance or the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, receives written notice of such failure from the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or Holders of the Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Regular Certificates; (v) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Trust Fund unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency; (vi) neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be obligated to investigate whether any information provided to or received by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Trust Interests is required to maintained on a confidential basis; and (vii) for all purposes under this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be required to take any action with respect to, or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice and such actual knowledge otherwise obtained, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable may conclusively assume that there is no Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event. (d) None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to (i) expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if there are reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, or (ii) perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, except, with respect to the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible and shall have liability in connection with the duties assumed by the Authenticating Agent, and the Certificate Registrar hereunder, unless the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is acting in any such capacity hereunder; provided, further, that in any such capacity the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have all of the rights, protections and indemnities provided to it as Trustee and Certificate Administrator hereunder, as applicable.
