If no successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust. If at any time any of the following occur: (x) the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 and shall fail to resign after written request for the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s resignation by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; (y) the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator materially defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or (z) if at any time the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of action, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of either of their property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then in any such case, the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an authorized officer of the Depositor, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable. Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than a majority of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates, may at any time remove the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instrument or instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor (with a copy to the Servicer and the Special Servicer), one complete set to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, so removed and one complete set to the successor(s) so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall be given to the Rating Agencies (through the successor 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, as applicable) and the Initial Purchasers by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable. No removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be effective until all reasonable fees, costs, expenses and Advances (including interest thereon) to which it is entitled have been paid to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in full; provided that, if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated by the Depositor pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, or if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated with cause by the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates as provided above in this paragraph, then the terminated party shall be required to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including those incurred by the other parties hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of counsel)) to transfer the rights and obligations of the terminated party to a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable; and provided, further, that if the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is terminated without cause by the Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates as provided above in this paragraph, then such Holders will be required to pay all the reasonable costs and expenses of the terminated party necessary to effect the transfer of the rights and obligations of the terminated party to a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.8.
Resignation of the Master Servicer The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
Resignation of Master Servicer Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.27 and 9.29 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless it determines that the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it and cannot be cured.

Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any NIMS Insurer.
Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by the Servicer The Seller has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign its rights under this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Seller (as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans) and the Master Servicer, which consent, in the case of an assignment of rights or delegation of duties, shall be granted or withheld in the discretion of the Seller and the Master Servicer, and which consent, in the case of a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Servicer, shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in each case, there must be delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing or sale or disposition of assets will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of the Seller (as owner of the servicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans), the Master Servicer or the Trustee, may retain third party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan administration functions, including without limitation, hazard insurance administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and administration, collection services and similar functions; provided, that the retention of such contractors by Servicer shall not limit the obligation of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Master Servicer or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 9.01. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 7.03, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Seller, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, then the Seller, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 8.01, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.
Resignation and Removal of Trust Administrator The Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by (a) giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Sellers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Servicers and by mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Certificateholders at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register, and to the Rating Agencies, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 10.08, such resignation is to take effect, and (b) acceptance by a successor trust administrator in accordance with Section 10.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.06. If at any time the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trust Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trust Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation or if the Trust Administrator breaches any of its obligations or representations hereunder, then the Depositor may remove the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor trust administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trust Administrator and one copy to the successor trust administrator. The Trust Administrator may also be removed at any time by the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates. Notice of any removal of the Trust Administrator and acceptance of appointment by the successor trust administrator shall be given to the Rating Agencies by the Depositor. If no successor trust administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or receipt of a notice of removal, the resigning Trust Administrator may, at the Trust Fund’s expense, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trust administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be Master Servicer hereunder, at DLJMC’s request, the Trust Administrator shall resign, upon the selection and appointment of a successor trust administrator meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.06. Any resignation or removal of the Trust Administrator and appointment of a successor trust administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trust administrator as provided in Section 10.08 hereof.
Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the Offered Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein and in Section 3.18 and Section 3.28, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Servicer are transferred to a successor Servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor Servicer.
Limitation on Resignation and Assignment by Servicer The Owner has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer and subsequent Owners will purchase the Mortgage Loans in reliance upon the independent status of the Servicer, and the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof (to other than a third party in the case of outsourcing routine tasks such as taxes, insurance and property inspection, in which case the Servicer shall be fully liable for such tasks as if the Servicer performed them itself) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the reasonable discretion of the Owner, provided, however, that the Servicer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder without prior written consent of the Owner to any entity that is directly owned or controlled by the Servicer, and the Servicer guarantees the performance of such entity hereunder. In the event of such assignment by the Servicer, the Servicer shall provide the Owner with a written statement guaranteeing the successor entity's performance of the Servicer's obligations under the Agreement. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Owner or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Owner. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 10.01. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.03, in the event that the Servicer either shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof (to other than a third party in the case of outsourcing routine tasks such as taxes, insurance and property inspection, in which case the Servicer shall be fully liable for such tasks as if the Servicer performed them itself) or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written consent of the Owner, then the Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice given as set forth in Section 9.01 without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Servicer or any third party.
Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee) that such resignation shall not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer acceptable to the NIMS Insurer shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.
Successor Sub-Servicers The Master Servicer, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub- Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 6.06. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
