In addition, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan 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 take any Major Action 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 taking any Major Action nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any Major Action as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Action. The Directing 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 Directing Holder may deem advisable, subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement.
(b) If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Action within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Directing Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Action together with any information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) period, such Major Action shall be deemed to have been approved by the Directing Holder.
(c) In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the 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 Directing Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.
(d) No objection, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or expose the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement.
(e) The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the other 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 Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Holders agree that the Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Holder over the other Holder, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Directing Holder agree to take no action against the Directing Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Directing Holder will not 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 Holder.

(d) The Company may, but is not obligated to, fix a record date (which need not be within the time limits otherwise prescribed by Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to act with respect to any amendment or waiver or in any other regard, except that during the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Trustee may set a record date as to notices of default, any declaration or acceleration or any other remedies or other consequences of the Event of Default. If a record date is fixed, those Persons that were Holders at such record date and only those Persons will be entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether or not those Persons continue to be Holders after the record date.
