Exchange Notes The 6.500% Notes due 2029 of the same series under the Indenture as the Notes, to be issued to Holders in exchange for Registrable Notes pursuant to this Agreement.
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.
Initial Notes On the Issue Date, there will be originally issued four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) aggregate principal amount of Notes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including Section 2.02). Notes issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(A), and any Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, are referred to in this Indenture as the “Initial Notes.”

New Notes For so long as a Note is not included in a Securitization, the Holder of such Note (the “Resizing Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes (“Amended Notes”) or additional notes (“New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Note or Notes that it owns (but in no case any Note that it does not then own) among Amended Notes and New Notes or severing a Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Note or Notes being amended or created, provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the Amended Notes and New Notes prior to such amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same interest rate as the Amended Note of which it was a part prior to such amendments, (iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis with the Amended Notes and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement and (iv) the Resizing Holder holding the New Notes shall notify each other Holder, as applicable, and, if any other Note has been included in a securitization, the parties under each applicable PSA, in writing (which may be by email) of such modified allocations and principal amounts.

Neither Rating Agency Confirmation nor approval of the Directing Holder shall be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this Section 18(a). The Resizing Holder whose Note is being reallocated or split pursuant to this Section 18(a) shall reimburse the other Holders for all costs and expenses incurred by the other Holders in connection with the reallocation or split.
