Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Directing Holder of any release or substitution of collateral for a Loan even if such release or substitution is in accordance with such Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Companion Loan Noteholder is a Directing Holder it shall be permitted to exercise the powers of a Directing Holder under this Agreement only with respect to its related Loan Pair. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by Section 6.11(a), may (and the Special Servicer shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that the Special Servicer has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any provision of this Agreement (exclusive of Section 6.11(a)) (including the Special Servicer's obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard), the related loan documents or the REMIC Provisions. Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to seek approval from the Directing Holder for any actions to be taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any particular Specially Serviced Loan if: (i) the Special Servicer has, as provided in Section 6.11(a), notified the applicable Directing Holder in writing of various actions that the Special Servicer proposes to take with respect to the workout or liquidation of that Loan; and (ii) for 60 days following the first such notice, such Directing Holder has objected to all of those proposed actions and has failed to suggest any alternative actions that the Special Servicer considers to be consistent with the Servicing Standard. (c) The Directing Holder will have no liability to the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Noteholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Holder will not be protected against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties. Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Controlling Class Directing Holder may, and is permitted hereunder to, have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Controlling Class Directing Holder may, and is permitted hereunder to, act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Directing Holder does not have any duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Controlling Class Directing Holder may, and is permitted hereunder to, take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; (v) the Controlling Class Directing Holder shall not be deemed to have been negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; and (vi) the Controlling Class Directing Holder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Directing Holder, any Holder of the Controlling Class or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted. (d) The applicable Companion Loan Noteholders shall be entitled to receive, upon request made to any party hereto, a copy of any notice or report required to be delivered (upon request or otherwise) by such party to the related Loan Pair Directing Holder or the Trustee with respect to the related Loan Pair. Any such party shall be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such copies. (e) In addition to the provisions of Section 6.11(a), with respect to each of the Loan Pairs (other that the Windsor Capital Portfolio Loan Pair, which is being serviced under the 2003-C1 PSA) the Special Servicer may not take any of the actions set forth in Section 6.11(a)(i)-(ix), without consulting, on a non-binding basis, the holders of the related Pari Passu Companion Loans as set forth below: 1. with respect to the U.S. Bank Tower Loan Pair, in the event that the holder of the U.S. Bank Tower Junior Companion Loan is no longer the Directing Holder, in addition to obtaining the consent of the Directing Holder in connection with the items listed above, the Special Servicer shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the holders of the U.S. Bank Tower Pari Passu Companion Loans, 2. with respect to the 1801 K Street Loan Pair, in addition to obtaining the consent of the Directing Holder in connection with the items listed above, the Special Servicer shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the holder of the 1801 K Street Pari Passu Companion Loan, and 3. with respect to the Wells Fargo Tower Loan Pair, in addition to obtxxxxxg the consent of the Directing Holder in connection with the items listed above, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the representative of the holders of more than 50% of the Controlling Class (in respect of the Wells Fargo Tower Trust Loan) and the holder of xxx other Wells Fargo Tower Pari Passu Companion Loans. (f) In connection with the foregoing consultation rights: (i) the Special Servicer shall deliver notice to the holder of such consultation rights of the proposed action at the same time as notice is delivered to the Directing Holder in accordance with Section 6.11(a)material capital expenditure; (ii) the party entitled to such consultation rights shall have an opportunity to consult with the Special Servicer for a period from the date of receipt of the Special Servicer's written description of its proposed action through (but excluding) the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt; and (iii) if the Special Servicer determines that it needs to take immediate action and cannot wait until the review period set forth above expires, then, in such case, the Special Servicer shall decide, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, what course of action to take. (g) The Windsor Capital Portfolio Loan Pair is serviced under the 2003-C1 PSA. The 2003-C1 PSA provides that if a Control Appraisal Event (as defined therein) occurs, the "Directing Holder" under the 2003-C1 PSA will be the Trustee, as the holder of the Windsor Capital Portfolio Trust Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. In the event that such Control Appraisal Event occurs and the 2003-C1 Special Servicer seeks the consent of the Trustee for any action with respect to the Windsor Capital Portfolio Loan Pair, the Trustee shall direct the 2003-C1 Special Servicer to consult with Controlling Class Directing Holder, as its agent, and the Controlling Class Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights granted to the "Directing Holder" under the 2003-C1 PSA with respect to the Windsor Capital Portfolio Loan Pair.
