Compensation to the Master Servicer The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to the Master Servicing Fee, as compensation for services rendered by the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

Compensating Interest Payments The amount of the aggregate Master Servicing Fees payable to the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent that Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to such Distribution Date are required to be paid but not actually paid by the Servicers. Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall pay or reimburse each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee upon such trustee’s request for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by such trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, including any such expenses incurred or made in connection with a transfer of servicing, and shall indemnify the institution acting as such trustee, both in its individual capacity and as trustee, from any loss, liability or expense incurred by it hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ and any expenses which arise out of or are imposed upon the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee in connection with the creation, operation or termination of the Trust) except any such expense or disbursement as may arise from its own negligence or bad faith. Such obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement or resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee. The Servicer shall, at its expense, prepare or cause to be prepared all federal and state income tax and franchise tax and information returns relating to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III required to be prepared or filed by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee for any liability of such trustees arising from any error in such returns.

In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all Supplemental Servicing Fees.

The Basic Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period shall be calculated based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Trust Administrator’s Fees and Expenses As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Trust Administrator Compensation. The Trust Administrator and any director, officer, employee, agent or “control person” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended (“Control Person”), of the Trust Administrator shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Mortgage Loans or (c) the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trust Administrator’s duties hereunder, (ii) incurred in connection with the performance of any of the Trust Administrator’s duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense (x) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trust Administrator’s duties hereunder or (y) which would not constitute an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), or (iii) incurred by reason of any action of the Trust Administrator taken at the direction of the Certificateholders. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trust Administrator hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trust Administrator’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or which would not be an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of the second preceding sentence, the Trust Administrator shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trust Administrator in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer, appraiser or other agent that is not regularly employed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent that the Trust Administrator must engage such Persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates. The Trust shall fulfill its obligations under this paragraph from amounts on deposit from time to time in the Distribution Account.
Reasonable Servicing Fee The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Company, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement;
Servicing Advances The Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not, the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer, shall make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, except to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance; provided that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination. Such determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of any B Note, the holder of the related B Note and, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this Agreement but may make such Servicing Advances (on an emergency basis) at its option in which event the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance (together with Advance Interest) promptly (but no later than five (5) days) following receipt of a statement therefor. Promptly after discovering that the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer is required to make hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator is not also the Trustee) in writing of the failure by the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer may make Servicing Advances in its own discretion if it determines that making such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, in the best interest of the holder of the related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole and, in the case of any Loan Pair, in the best interest of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust as a collective whole), even if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is obligated to make Servicing Advances pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation or authority to make Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
