Invalidity of Subordination Provisions The subordination provisions of any agreement or instrument governing any Subordinated Indebtedness shall for any reason be revoked or invalidated, or otherwise cease to be in full force and effect, or any Person shall contest in any manner the validity or enforceability thereof or deny that it has any further liability or obligation thereunder, or the Obligations, for any reason shall not have the priority contemplated by this Agreement or such subordination provisions.
Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee Each holder of Securities or Coupons, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
No Waiver of Subordination Provisions No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XII or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise dispose of any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company or any other person.
Subordination Provisions The Sponsor covenants and agrees, and the Servicer, by its acceptance of this Note, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of all Junior Liabilities is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and performance of the Senior Liabilities to the extent and in the manner set forth in the following clauses of this paragraph 7:
(i) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to the Sponsor, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Sponsor or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Sponsor except pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), and (ii) on and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Senior Liabilities shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Servicer shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of the Junior Liabilities. In order to implement the foregoing: (x) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of the Junior Liabilities to which the Servicer would be entitled except for this clause (a) shall be made directly to the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders, and the Insurer); and (y) the Servicer hereby irrevocably agrees that the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders), in the name of the Servicer or otherwise, may demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Servicer relating to the Junior Liabilities, in each case until the Senior Liabilities shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash.
(b) Following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (a)(i) or (ii), in the event that the Servicer receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Sponsor or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of the Junior Liabilities, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Indenture Trustee and shall be turned over by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders, and the Insurer) forthwith. All payments and distributions received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer) first to the payment of any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Insurer in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon the Junior Liabilities, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Servicer and the Noteholders and the Insurer, be applied by the Indenture Trustee toward the payment of the Senior Liabilities in a manner determined by the Indenture Trustee to be in accordance with the Indenture; but as between the Sponsor and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Liabilities.
(c) Upon the final payment in full and in cash of all Senior Liabilities, the Servicer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture Trustee to receive payments or distributions from the Sponsor that are applicable to the Senior Liabilities until the Junior Liabilities are paid in full.
(d) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of Noteholders and the Insurer), on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Note (subject to paragraph 10 hereof) is intended to or shall impair, as between the Sponsor, its creditors (other than the Noteholders and the Insurer) and the Servicer, the Sponsor’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Junior Liabilities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to paragraph 10 hereof) and of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or to affect the relative rights of the Servicer and creditors of the Sponsor (other than the Noteholders and the Insurer).
(e) The Servicer shall not, until the Senior Liabilities have been finally paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Sponsor, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or thereafter existing, or due or to become due (other than the Senior Liabilities), the Junior Liabilities or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert the Junior Liabilities into an equity interest in the Sponsor, unless, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Servicer shall have received the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in each case.
(f) The Servicer shall not, except without the advance written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Sponsor until at least one year and one day have passed since the Termination Date.
(g) If, at any time, any of the payment (in whole or in part) made with respect to any Senior Liabilities is rescinded or must be restored or returned by the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders or the Insurer (whether in connection with any Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made.
(h) The Indenture Trustee (on behalf of Noteholders and the Insurer) may, from time to time, with the consent of the Insurer without notice to the Servicer, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Liabilities; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Liabilities; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Liabilities; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any related document; and (v) release its security interest in or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Liabilities, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property.
(i) The Servicer hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Noteholders and the Insurer, (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Liabilities; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Liabilities, or any thereof, or any security therefor.
(j) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Sponsor to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Liabilities; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, and the Indenture Trustee may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
SUBORDINATION OF AGREEMENT 18.1 The parties hereto and the employees of the City are governed by the provisions of applicable Federal Law, State Law, and the City Charter. When any provisions thereof are in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of said Federal Law, State Law, or City Charter are paramount and shall prevail.

Agreement of Subordination The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of Notes issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Notes shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article Four, and each Person holding any Note, whether upon original issue or upon registration of transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

Termination Provisions In this Agreement:
Trustee to Effectuate Subordination Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
Amendments to Servicing Agreements, Modification of Standard Provisions (a) Subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.07(b), the Master Servicer from time to time may, to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement, make such modifications and amendments to such Servicing Agreement as the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate to confirm or carry out more fully the intent and purpose of such Servicing Agreement and the duties, responsibilities and obligations to be performed by the Servicer thereunder. Such modifications may only be made if they are consistent with the REMIC Provisions, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. Prior to the issuance of any modification or amendment, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee such Opinion of Counsel and an Officer's Certificate setting forth (i) the provision that is to be modified or amended, (ii) the modification or amendment that the Master Servicer desires to issue and (iii) the reason or reasons for such proposed amendment or modification.
(b) The Trustee shall consent to any amendment or supplement to a Servicing Agreement proposed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(a), which consent and amendment shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder if it is (i) for the purpose of curing any mistake or ambiguity or to further effect or protect the rights of the Certificateholders or (ii) for any other purpose, provided such amendment or supplement for such other purpose cannot reasonably be expected to adversely affect Certificateholders. The lack of reasonable expectation of an adverse effect on Certificateholders may be established through the delivery to the Trustee of (i) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect or (ii) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in reduction of the current rating assigned by that Rating Agency to the Certificates. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, the Trustee may, in its discretion, decline to enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment if its own rights, duties or immunities shall be adversely affected.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer from time to time may, without the consent of any Certificateholder or the Trustee, enter into an amendment (A) to an Other Servicing Agreement for the purpose of (i) eliminating or reducing Month End Interest and (ii) providing for the remittance of Full Unscheduled Principal Receipts by the applicable Servicer to the Master Servicer not later than the 24th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day) or (B) to the WFHM Servicing Agreement for the purpose of changing the applicable Remittance Date to the 18th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day).
(ii) The Master Servicer may direct WFHM to enter into an amendment to the WFHM Servicing Agreement for the purposes described in Sections 3.07(c)(i)(B) and 10.01(b)(iii).
Compliance with Consolidation Provisions The Company will not, while any of the Securities remain Outstanding, consolidate with or merge into any other Person, in either case where the Company is not the survivor of such transaction, or sell or convey all or substantially all of its property to any other Person unless the provisions of Article Ten hereof are complied with.
