In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.

• Servicing Transfer In the event that a successor Master Servicer is appointed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, from and after the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and not the former Master Servicer, shall (a) be responsible for the performance of all servicing functions to be performed from and after such date, (b) agree to be bound by the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein applicable to the Master Servicer and be subject to the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, and (c) agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Credit Enhancement Provider from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses whatsoever which the Credit Enhancement Provider may incur (or which may be claimed against the Credit Enhancement Provider) by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the successor Master Servicer in exercising its powers and carrying out its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement.

• Special Servicing of Delinquent Mortgage Loans If permitted under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Seller may appoint, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and with the written consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any NIMS Insurer, a Special Servicer to special service any Distressed Mortgage Loans. Any applicable Termination Fee related to the termination of the related Servicer and the appointment of any Special Servicer shall be paid by the Seller from its own funds, without right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund. Any fees paid to any such Special Servicer shall not exceed the Servicing Fee Rate.

• Shareholder Servicing All expenses of maintaining and servicing shareholder accounts, including but not limited to the charges of any shareholder servicing agent, dividend disbursing agent, transfer agent or other agent engaged by the Trust to service shareholder accounts.

• Sub-Servicing (a) The Master Servicer shall supervise, administer, monitor, enforce and oversee the servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loans by any Sub-Servicer appointed by it. Other than with respect to the agreements with any other Sub-Servicer (including the Seller Sub-Servicer) under agreements that are in effect on the Closing Date (each a “Surviving Sub-Servicer”), the terms of any arrangement or agreement between the Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall provide that such agreement or arrangement may be terminated, without cause and without the payment of any termination fees, by the Trustee if such Master Servicer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or the holder of any B Note shall have any direct obligation or liability (including, without limitation, indemnification obligations) with respect to any Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation to any Sub-Servicer appointed by it. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of enforcement against any of its Sub-Servicers at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Notwithstanding the provisions of any primary servicing agreement or sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer, or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the applicable Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with (and subject to the limitations contained within) the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of indemnification from a Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering such Mortgage Loans.

• Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds (which, for the purpose of this Section, includes any Subsequent Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

• Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers (a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be precluded from selling all or part of the Servicing Fee relating to any Mortgage Loans to any Sub-Servicer, provided that with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer sells all or a part of the related Servicing Fee, the Master Servicer shall retain full responsibility under this Agreement for the servicing activities relating to such Mortgage Loan. Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Fxxxxxx Mac or Fxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.

• Master Servicer, Special Servicer as Owner of a Certificate The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Certificate Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Certificate Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval of the Certificateholders and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder to such action by delivering to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.
