(A) subject to Section 3.08(c), the applicable Master Servicer shall not enter into such a waiver or approval for any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, unless such Master Servicer has obtained the consent of the applicable Special Servicer (it being understood and agreed that (1) the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide the applicable Special Servicer with (x) written notice of any Borrower request for such assignment and assumption or such encumbrance, (y) the applicable Master Servicer’s written recommendations and analysis, and (z) all information reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer that the applicable Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant any such consent, (2) the applicable Special Servicer shall decide whether to withhold or grant such consent in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to Section 3.24, and/or Section 3.26 if and as applicable), and (3) if any such consent has not been expressly denied within fifteen (15) Business Days (or at least five (5) Business Days after the time period provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of the applicable Special Servicer’s receipt from the applicable Master Servicer of the applicable Master Servicer’s written recommendations and analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby and reasonably available to the applicable Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted;
(B) if approval of an assignment and assumption or waiver of a due-on-sale provision is involved and the affected Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Mortgage Loan that (together with all other Mortgage Loans, if any, that are in the same Cross-Collateralized Group as such Mortgage Loan or have the same Borrower as such Mortgage Loan or have Borrowers that are known to be affiliated with the Borrower under such Mortgage Loan) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans then in the Trust, has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance in excess of $20,000,000, or if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, then, subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, neither the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) nor the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall enter into such approval or waiver unless and until such approval or waiver is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) and in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the equivalent confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities; and

(D) if approval of an assignment and assumption or waiver of a due-on-sale provision is involved, then, subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, neither the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) nor the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall enter into such approval or waiver with respect to any Mortgaged Property which secures a Cross-Collateralized Group unless (i) all of the Mortgaged Properties securing such Cross-Collateralized Group are transferred simultaneously by the respective Borrower(s) or (ii) either (x) in the case of the applicable Master Servicer, it has obtained the consent of the applicable Special Servicer (pursuant to the approval procedures described in clause (A) above) or (y) in the case of the applicable Special Servicer, it has obtained the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, if and to the extent required under Sections 3.24 and/or Section 3.26, as applicable);
(E) subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, neither the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) nor the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall enter into such approval or waiver unless all associated costs and expenses (including the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are covered without any expense to the Trust or (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) any expense to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (it being understood and agreed that, except as expressly provided herein, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer shall be obligated to cover or assume any such costs or expenses) and if the related Borrower refuses to pay any such costs and expenses then the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be permitted to deny the related request;
(F) neither the applicable Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) nor the applicable Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall, in connection with any such approval or waiver, consent or agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term or provision of such Serviced Mortgage Loan that would result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool; and
(G) the applicable Special Servicer shall not consent to the applicable Master Servicer’s recommendation described in clause (A) above, or itself enter into such an approval or waiver, unless the applicable Special Servicer has complied with Section 3.24 and/or Section 3.26, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the applicable Master Servicer’s approval of an assignment and assumption or further encumbrance be conditioned on the approval or absence of objection from the applicable Special Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer interacting with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with such Master Servicer approval) if either (x) the NCB, FSB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been met with respect to a Co-op Mortgage Loan or (y)(a) the transaction is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and (b) the conditions to the transaction that are set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents do not include the approval of the lender or the exercise of lender discretion (other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the transaction set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise of discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether a particular Co-op Mortgage Loan contains specific provisions regarding the incurrence of subordinate debt, or prohibits the incurrence of subordinate debt, or requires the consent of the Mortgagee in order to incur subordinate debt, the NCB Master Servicer may, nevertheless, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, without the need to obtain any consent or approval hereunder (and without the need to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation), permit the related Borrower to incur subordinate debt if the NCB, FSB Subordinate Debt Conditions have been met; provided that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the NCB Master Servicer shall not waive any right it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, in accordance with any related “due-on-encumbrance” clause under any Mortgage Loan, pursuant to this paragraph, unless in any such case, all associated costs and expenses are covered without any expense to the Trust.
(b) In connection with any permitted assumption of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause thereunder, the applicable Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the applicable Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall prepare all documents necessary and appropriate for such purposes and shall coordinate with the related Borrower for the due execution and delivery of such documents.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.08(a), in connection with any transfer of an interest in the related Borrower under a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall have the right to grant its consent to the same without the consent or approval of the applicable Special Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer interacting with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with such applicable Master Servicer consent) if such transfer is allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents without the exercise of any lender approval or discretion other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the transfer set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise of discretion and does not involve incurring new mezzanine indebtedness, including a consent to transfer to any subsidiary or affiliate of such Borrower or to a person acquiring less than a majority interest in such Borrower; provided that, subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, if (i) the affected Serviced Mortgage Loan is or relates to a Mortgage Loan that, together with all other Mortgage Loans, if any, that are in the same Cross-Collateralized Group as such Mortgage Loan or have the same Borrower as such Mortgage Loan or have Borrowers that are known to be affiliated with the Borrower under such Mortgage Loan, is one of the then-current top ten Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) in the Mortgage Pool, has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance in excess of $20,000,000, or has a Stated Principal Balance that equals or exceeds 5% of the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool, or a Serviced Loan Combination is involved and the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement would require Rating Agency Confirmation if such Serviced Loan Combination was serviced thereunder, and (ii) the transfer is of an interest in the Borrower greater than 49% or otherwise would result in a change in control of the Borrower (for these purposes, “control” when used with respect to any specified person means the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing), then the applicable Master Servicer shall not consent to such transfer unless and until such transfer is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) (and, in the case of any applicable Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination, an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Rating Agency, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)) (the costs of which are to be payable by the related Borrower to the extent provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, which provisions shall not be waived by the applicable Master Servicer, and, if not paid, such costs shall be paid by and reimbursed to the applicable Master Servicer as an Additional Trust Fund Expense). The applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to collect and receive from Borrowers any customary fees in connection with such transfers of interest as Additional Master Servicing Compensation.
Enforcement of Covenants The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 hereof. The Executive agrees without reservation that each of the restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the goodwill, Confidential Information, trade secrets, and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Company Affiliates; that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area; and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent him from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by these restraints. The Executive further agrees that the Executive will never assert, or permit to be asserted on the Executive’s behalf, in any forum, any position contrary to the foregoing. The Executive further acknowledges that, were the Executive to breach any of the covenants contained in Sections 8, 9, 10 or 11 hereof, the damage to the Company would be irreparable. The Executive therefore agrees that in the event of the breach or a threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 8, 9, 10 or 11 hereof, the Company, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor (including pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof), may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security), and will additionally be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees incurred in connection with securing any relief hereunder. The parties further agree that if, at the time of enforcement of Sections 8, 9, 10 or 11, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. The Executive agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period of time in which the Executive is in violation of the terms thereof, in order that the Company and its Company Affiliates shall have all of the agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein. No breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, or any other claimed breach of contract or violation of law, or change in the nature or scope of the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, shall operate to extinguish the Executive’s obligation to comply with Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 hereof.

Enforcement of Patents As between the Parties, (i) Prosecuting Party pursuant to 6.2.2 shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any Infringement with respect to the Exclusive Licensed Patents including as a defense or counterclaim in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim, at Prosecuting Party’s sole cost and expense, using counsel of Prosecuting Party’s choice and (ii) MedImmune shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prosecute Infringement with respect to the Non-Exclusive Licensed Technology, including as a defense or counterclaim in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim, at MedImmune’s sole cost and expense, using counsel of its choice. For purposes of this Section 6.3, the Party prosecuting any Infringement pursuant to the foregoing sentence with respect to a Patent shall be the “Enforcing Party.” In the event MedImmune prosecutes any such Infringement in the Field in the Territory, Licensee shall have the right to join as a party to such claim, suit or proceeding and participate with its own counsel at its sole cost and expense; provided that MedImmune shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding, including the response to any defense or defense of any counterclaim raised in connection therewith. In the event Licensee prosecutes any such Infringement in the Field in the Territory, MedImmune shall have the right to join as a party to such claim, suit or proceeding and participate with its own counsel at its sole cost and expense; provided that Licensee shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding, including the response to any defense or defense of any counterclaim raised in connection therewith. If the Enforcing Party or its designee does not take commercially reasonable steps to prosecute an Infringement in the Field (x) within [***] days following the first notice provided above with respect to such Infringement or (y) provided such date occurs after the first such notice of such Infringement is provided, [***] Business Days before the time limit, if any, set out in appropriate laws and regulations for filing of such actions, whichever comes first, then (1) the Enforcing Party shall so notify the non-Enforcing Party and (2) subject to any rights of any Third Parties under any In-License Agreements (or other applicable Third Party agreements existing as of the Effective Date) and upon the Enforcing Party’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the non-Enforcing may prosecute such alleged or threatened infringement in the Field at its sole cost and expense, whereupon the non-Enforcing Party shall be deemed the Enforcing Party with respect to such Infringement.
Enforcement of Remedies None of the Agent or the Lenders shall be obliged before taking steps to enforce any rights conferred on it by this Clause or exercising any of the rights, powers and remedies conferred on it hereby or by law:
22.2.1 to take action or obtain judgment in any court against the Borrower or any other person from whom it may seek payment of any sum due from the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Security Document;
22.2.2 to make or file any claim in a bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation or re-organisation of the Borrower or any other such person; or
22.2.3 to enforce or seek to enforce any other rights it may have against the Borrower or any other such person.
Enforcement; Remedies (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
(b) The Parties agree that irreparable injury will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. It is agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or remedy any breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any other Party, to a decree or order of specific performance to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to any further equitable relief. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief.
(c) The Parties’ rights in this Section 9.14 are an integral part of the Transactions and each Party hereby waives any objections to any remedy referred to in this Section 9.14 (including any objection on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of such remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity). For the avoidance of doubt, each Party agrees that there is not an adequate remedy at Law for a breach of this Agreement by any Party. In the event any Party seeks any remedy referred to in this Section 9.14, such Party shall not be required to obtain, furnish, post or provide any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy.
