Purchase and Sale of the Notes (a) The Issuer agrees to issue and sell the Notes to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Issuer the respective principal amount of Notes set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to [ ]% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest, if any, from [ ], [ ], to the Closing Date (as defined below). (b) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Notes to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Notes purchased by it to or through any Underwriter. (c) The Issuer understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Notes as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Notes on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Information. (d) The Issuer and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Issuer and each Guarantor with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as financial advisors or fiduciaries to, or agents of, the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter are advising the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Issuer and each Guarantor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Issuer or any Guarantor with respect thereto. Any review by the Representatives or any Underwriter of the Issuer, any Guarantor, and the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representatives or such Underwriter, as the case may be, and shall not be on behalf of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other person. The Issuer agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Issuer, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.
Sale of the Notes (a) Except as contemplated by the second following sentence, each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Promptly after the Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Securitization Trust), the non-transferring Note Holder(s) shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating the securities of such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer made without the prior consent of the non-transferring Note Holder and Rating Agency Confirmation (if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust), shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, transfers of any securities backed by a Note held in a Securitization Trust will not be subject to the foregoing requirement and such transfers shall be governed by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of the non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and any Controlling Note Holder or Controlling Note Holder Representative) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust. (b) In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent or higher rating from any two of Fitch, Xxxxx’x and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. A Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than a Borrower Party that is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated. (d) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement; (ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender; (iii) Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan; (iv) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and (v) Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.
