Residual Interest and Transfer of Interests 6 Section 3.1. The Residual Interest. 6
Residual Interest Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to reimburse the Company for the payment of such tax (to the extent that the Company has not been previously reimbursed therefor).
Transfer of Notes (a) Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note whether or not the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Each Holder shall not Transfer more than 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holder has consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (iii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee, or (iv) such Transfer is in connection with a sale by a Securitization trust. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Such proposed transferee (except in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the Depositor to rate the securities issued in connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.
