Acceptance by the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator (a) The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt, directly or through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(f) of this Agreement. With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Serviced Companion Loan in such Loan Combination in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
Resignation and Removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created (i) by giving written notice of resignation to the other such party, the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee), the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and by mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trust Interest Owners at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.8, such resignation is to take effect, and (ii) only upon acceptance by a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, appointed by the Depositor in accordance with Section 8.8 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.6.

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.

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. 202 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.
Trustee and Certificate Administrator May Own Certificates The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and any agent of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, each, in its individual capacity or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates, and may deal with the Depositor and the Master Servicer in banking transactions, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or such agent, as the case may be.
