Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer’s right to the additional servicing compensation described in this paragraph with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan shall be subject to the related Co-Lender Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Excess Modification Fee, Assumption Fee, Consent Fee or other fee with respect to a Performing Serviced Loan that is required to be split between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have the right in its sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however (x) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had charged a fee and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the Special Servicer. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall only apply to Performing Serviced Loans and, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, shall not prohibit any waiver or reduction by the Special Servicer of any fee payable by the Mortgagor with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan. Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-1 to this Agreement, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-2 to this Agreement.

By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose any information received in connection with its acquisition and holding of such Excess Servicing Fee Right in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Person then acting as the Master Servicer shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Master Servicer as Servicing Fees with respect to each related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one (1) Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it. The Master Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), and in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. In addition, with respect to any Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights, if any, of the Master Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan from the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.
Total Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive out of the Collection Account the Base Servicing Fee and any Supplemental Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period (together, the “Servicing Fee”) pursuant to Section 5.7. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Noteholders and all other fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee; provided, however, the Servicer shall not be required to pay taxes levied or assessed against the Trust or claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification unless such taxes and claims are expressly stated to be for the account of GM Financial). The Servicer shall be liable for the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Independent Accountants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer shall not be GM Financial, a successor to GM Financial as Servicer permitted by Section 9.3 shall not be liable for taxes levied or assessed against the Trust or claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification, or the fees and expenses referred to above.
Back-up Servicing In the event that Santander Consumer is the Servicer, and (i) the long-term unsecured debt rating by Moody’s of Banco Santander, S.A. falls below “Baa3” (a “Ratings Trigger Event”) or (ii) Banco Santander, S.A. ceases to directly or indirectly own at least 50% of the common stock of Santander Consumer (an “Ownership Trigger Event”), Santander Consumer shall have in place a back-up servicing arrangement consistent with Moody’s published ratings criteria at the time of the Ratings Trigger Event or Ownership Trigger Event, as applicable, within 90 days of such Ratings Trigger Event or Ownership Trigger Event, respectively, unless it shall be acceptable to Moody’s at such time, or otherwise satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody’s, for Santander Consumer not to have in place a back-up servicing arrangement or to deviate from such published criteria.
