Registration Rights Agreement and Escrow Agreement The parties have entered into the Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, each dated the date hereof.
Termination and Waiver of Rights of First Refusal The rights of first refusal established by this Section 4 shall not apply to, and shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the Company’s Initial Offering or (ii) an Acquisition. Notwithstanding Section 5.5 hereof, the rights of first refusal established by this Section 4 may be amended, or any provision waived with and only with the written consent of the Company and the Major Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Major Investors, or as permitted by Section 5.5.
Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of Warrant Unless otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant and of the holder of the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.
Rights of the Controlling Note Holder and Non-Controlling Note Holders (a) The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment (and such parties will be entitled to rely on such notice), an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer, Certificate Administrator and Trustee. None of the Servicers, Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Note Holder. The Controlling Note Holder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Note Holder Representative. Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder, in such capacity, will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative or Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of other Note Holders and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, acting in such capacity, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.
(b) Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative (other than a Borrower Party) in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (with respect to such Note Holder, the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to the Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis. Each Non-Controlling Note Holder (if it is not the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall provide notice of its identity and contact information (including any change thereof) to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; provided, that each Initial Note Holder shall be deemed to have provided such notice on the date hereof. The Trustee, Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such identity and contact information received by it and shall not be liable in respect of any deliveries hereunder sent in reliance thereon. The Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative with respect to the Non-Controlling Notes, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Initial Note A-2 Holder with respect to Note A-2 and the Initial Note A-3 Holder with respect to Note A-3.
(c) The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to the Mortgage Loan if it is a “Specially Serviced Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below, (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder, and reasonably available to the Special Servicer, as may be necessary in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable. If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder. In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response. No objection, consent, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may, and neither the Master Servicer nor Special Servicer shall take any action that would (i) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC Provisions or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes, (iii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, (iv) materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, under this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
Holder of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of a Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, the holder of any Warrant Securities or the holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in such holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, such holder’s right to exercise the Warrants evidenced by such holder’s Warrant Certificate in the manner provided in such holder’s Warrant Certificate and in this Agreement.
AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.
TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES Section 9.01. Optional Purchase by the Master Servicer of All Certificates; Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan or, if less than such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance (net of any unreimbursed Advances attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not including, the first day of the month in which such repurchase price is distributed, provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase price set forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC. The purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by Residential Funding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation, that remain unpaid on the date of such purchase. The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15 and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Master Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased. In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days' prior notice of the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made to Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the Certificates will be purchased (as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer to purchase the outstanding Certificates). Notice of any termination specifying the anticipated Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee (if so required by the terms hereof) for payment of the final distribution and cancellation or notice of any purchase of the outstanding Certificates, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter. Such notice shall be prepared by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) and mailed by the Trustee to the Certificateholders not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates is anticipated to be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated where required pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by the Master Servicer of the outstanding Certificates, the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the outstanding Certificates, the purchase price, in either case, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, and in the case of the Senior Certificates, or in the case of all of the Certificates in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, that payment will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders and, if the Master Servicer is exercising its rights to purchase the outstanding Certificates, it shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account, before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall deposit in an Eligible Account, established by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and separate from the Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the registered holders of the Certificates, before the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the Certificates, computed as above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to the Trustee. The Trustee will withdraw from such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below.
(c) In the case of the Senior Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof, and in the case of the Class M and Class B Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates, and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.01(a), the Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the outstanding Certificates, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the outstanding Certificates, an amount determined as follows: (A) with respect to each Certificate the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a), and (B) with respect to the Class R Certificates, any excess of the amounts available for distribution (including the repurchase price specified in clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section) over the total amount distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A). Notwithstanding the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder until the termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date (if so required by the terms hereof), the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account, which may be non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or the Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master Servicer to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
(e) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or before the Distribution Date on which a purchase of the outstanding Certificates is to be made, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Certificate Account deposited therein by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01(b) to be withdrawn therefrom and deposited in a separate escrow account, which may be non-interest bearing, for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to such Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for payment of the purchase price therefor. If within six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master Servicer to contact the Holders of such Certificates concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation in accordance with this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any Certificate that is not surrendered on the Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to this Section 9.01 occurs as provided above will be deemed to have been purchased and the Holder as of such date will have no rights with respect thereto except to receive the purchase price therefor minus any costs and expenses associated with such escrow account and notices allocated thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to have been purchased on such Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder until the Master Servicer has terminated the respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX. The Master Servicer shall be for all purposes the Holder thereof as of such date.
Right of the Company to Redeem the Notes The Company will have the right to redeem the Notes for cash in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in Section 4.03 of the Indenture.
Termination of Rights as Holder If the Placement Warrants are terminated in accordance with Section 6.1, then after such time Subscriber (or its successor in interest) shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Placement Warrants and the Company shall take such action as is appropriate to cancel such Placement Warrants. Subscriber hereby irrevocably grants the Company a limited power of attorney for the purpose of effectuating the foregoing and agrees to take any and all measures reasonably requested by the Company necessary to effect the foregoing.
