To the extent necessary for the Subservicer to comply with applicable laws, or if otherwise consented to by the Master Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Subservicer may enter into any subservicing agreement with another subservicer that would permit such subservicer to perform any or all of the Subservicer's servicing responsibilities under this Agreement and such subservicer meets the requirements of the PSA; provided, however, that the consent of the Master Servicer shall not be required to engage a third party contractor to perform ministerial tasks, including property inspections.

3
remain obligated and primarily liable to the Master Servicer for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreement or contract to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Subservicer were servicing the Mortgage Loan alone.
Section 2.03. Authority of Subservicer.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Master Servicer's limitations of authority as Master Servicer under the PSA, in performing its obligations hereunder, the Subservicer shall have full power and authority to take any and all actions in connection with such obligations that it deems necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall not take any of the following actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan without obtaining the prior written consent of the Master Servicer (which consent (i) may be in the form of an asset business plan approved in writing by the Master Servicer; (ii) shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) shall be subject to the prior approval of, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, or a Companion Holder or obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation (which approvals or confirmation may be in such party's sole discretion), if so required under the PSA, which approvals shall be requested by the Master Servicer; and (iv) shall be consented to or denied by the Master Servicer within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt by the Master Servicer of the information described in clause (i) along with relevant supporting information (but, in the case of a consent, such consent may be conditioned on any approvals described in clause (iii) of this paragraph)):
(i) the modification, waiver or amendment, whether or not material, of or with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any forgiveness of principal, any change in the amount or timing of any payment of principal or interest, maturity, extension rights or prepayment provisions or the substitution, release or addition of any collateral for the Mortgage Loan or relate to any waiver of or granting of consent under a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause;
(ii) the granting or withholding of consent to any transfer of ownership of a Mortgaged Property or any transfer of any interest of an owner of a Mortgaged Property and entering into any assumption agreement in connection therewith;
(iii) the granting or withholding of consent to any request for approval to place subordinate financing on a Mortgaged Property;
(iv) the determination of whether or not to release proceeds of condemnation or casualty insurance to the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan;

(vi) any action to initiate, prosecute and manage foreclosure proceedings and other legal proceedings related thereto in connection with the Mortgage Loan;
4
(vii) the permitting of, or modification of the Mortgage Loan to permit, a Principal Prepayment of the Mortgage Loan on a date other than its Due Date. In the event of a breach of this Section 2.03(a)(vii) by the Subservicer, on or before 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Subservicer Remittance Date following such breach, the Subservicer shall remit to the Master Servicer, pursuant to wiring instructions from the Master Servicer, the Compensating Interest Payment required under PSA Section 3.19(a) in connection with such Principal Prepayment (unless such breach is based solely on the fact that the Mortgage Loan documents permit such a voluntary Principal Prepayment and do not permit the Subservicer to prevent such a voluntary Principal Prepayment). If such Compensating Interest Payment is not remitted to the Master Servicer by 1:00 p.m. on the Subservicer Remittance Date, then the Subservicer shall also remit to the Master Servicer interest on such Compensating Interest Payment at the Reimbursement Rate from and including such Subservicer Remittance Date but excluding the date that such Compensating Interest Payment is received by the Master Servicer;
(viii) any action requiring the consent of the Master Servicer or requiring the Master Servicer to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, the Trustee or the Special Servicer under the PSA;

(b) Regardless of whether the consent or approval of the Master Servicer is required pursuant to this Agreement, the Subservicer shall take any reasonable action that is directed by the Master Servicer which relates to the Subservicer's obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall not be obligated to take any such action to the extent that the Subservicer determines in its reasonable discretion that such action (i) may cause a violation of applicable laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, court orders or restrictive covenants with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any Mortgaged Property; (ii) may cause a violation of any term or provision of a Mortgage Loan; (iii) materially expands the scope of the Subservicer's responsibilities under this Agreement; or (iv) is inconsistent with the requirements of the PSA, including the Servicing Standard.

Except as provided below, any reductions in the Servicing Fee that may be required under the PSA with respect to Compensating Interest Payment shall not affect the amount of the Subservicing Fee payable to the Subservicer and, consequently, the Subservicer shall not be entitled to any Compensating Interest Payment but shall be entitled to recover unpaid Subservicing Fees to the extent the Master Servicer is permitted to do so under the PSA; provided, however, that in the event of a breach of Section 2.03(a)(vii) by the Subservicer, on or before 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Subservicer Remittance Date following such breach, the Subservicer shall remit to the Master Servicer, pursuant to wiring instructions from the Master Servicer, the amount as of any Distribution Date equal to the aggregate amount of Compensating Interest Payment, if any, incurred as a result of the prepayment received in connection with such breach of Section 2.03(a)(vii). If such Compensating Interest Payment is not remitted to the Master Servicer by 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Subservicer Remittance Date, then the Subservicer shall also remit to the Master Servicer the Compensating Interest Payment and full interest on such Compensating Interest Payment at the Reimbursement Rate from and including such Subservicer Remittance Date but excluding the date that such Compensating Interest Payment is received by the Master Servicer.
(b) The Subservicer shall also be entitled to retain, with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, as additional Subservicing compensation (the "Additional Subservicing Compensation"), the following:

10
under PSA Section 3.11(a), reserves required to be funded pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, and principal and interest due with respect to the related Mortgage Loan);
(iv) to the extent received and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to retain such amounts under the PSA and subject to Section 5.01(c), 50% of the Master Servicer’s share of any assumption fees, extension fees, modification fees, defeasance fees, processing fees or consent fees; and
(v) subject to PSA Section 3.06, any interest or other income earned on deposits in the related Subservicer Accounts; provided, however, that the Subservicer shall be required to promptly remit to the Master Servicer any Additional Servicing Compensation and other amounts received from or on behalf of any Borrower which the Subservicer is not entitled to retain under this paragraph.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the PSA, the Subservicer shall pay all its overhead and similar expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.
