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.

(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.
