The Master Servicer or Trustee shall be required to provide written notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer and each Non-Lead Trustee of any principal and interest Advance it has made with respect to the Lead Securitization Note within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance.

31 |
entitled to reimbursement for a Property Protection Advance, first from funds on deposit in each of the Collection Account and the Companion Distribution Account that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and then, if such Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest Amounts on a Property Protection Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization and, in the case of Property Protection Advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances, from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below.

In addition, a Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder whose Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization Trust shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization for the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any Trust Fund Expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Property, any other fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and allocable to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders pursuant to this Agreement and as to which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor, as applicable, is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and any fees, costs or expenses related to obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation and allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders, in each case to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts (which such reimbursement shall be made from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust). If a Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, the related Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees to indemnify (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties) against any Indemnified Items to
32 |
the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust.

The Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a principal and interest Advance to be made on a Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify each other servicer and trustee with respect to a Securitization of the amount of its principal and interest Advance within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Note in the Lead Securitization) or the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed principal and interest Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding principal and interest Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Property Protection Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Property Protection Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a principal and interest Advance first, from the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account from Default Interest and late payment charges collected on the Mortgage Loan, as and to the extent contemplated by the Servicing Agreement, and from amounts allocable to the Note for which such principal and interest Advance was made, and then, if funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of a Note in the Lead Securitization, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Advance Interest Amounts
33 |
on a principal and interest Advance shall be reimbursed from Default Interest and late payment charges collected on the Mortgage Loan, as and to the extent contemplated by the Servicing Agreement, from amounts paid by the Borrower to cover such Advance Interest Amounts and otherwise first, from amounts allocable to more subordinate Notes and then, from amounts allocable to the subject Note, as provided under Section 3(d).
(d) At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with the servicing provisions set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan or a Substitute Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall have no further obligations to advance monthly payments of principal or interest; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any nationally recognized commercial mortgage loan servicer appointed by Lead Securitization Noteholder and the special servicer appointed by the Controlling Noteholder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, if a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent (x) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and (y) the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof shall be performed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 4. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.
(a) Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy and no other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan except as set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement including the rights of any Note Holder in its capacity as the Controlling Noteholder to consent to the Major Decisions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, each Noteholder (other than the Lead Securitization Noteholder) agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).
Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) to sell each Non-Lead Note together with the Lead Securitization Note (and any other Notes included in the Lead Securitization) as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Servicing Agreement and shall be required to require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing and be accompanied by a refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the offer amount (subject to a cap of $2,500,000). Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Notes shall be determined by the Trustee; provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two bona fide other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price
54 |
for such Notes, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the Appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for such Notes, the Trustee shall instruct the Appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Notes, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent Appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Noteholders in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not be permitted to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes if they become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (provided that such consent is not required if such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is a Borrower Restricted Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder: (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the servicing file maintained by the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that are material to the price of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to the other offerors and the Controlling Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Class Representative, any other Noteholder (or any controlling class representative or directing holder on its behalf under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Note unless such Person is a Borrower Restricted Party.
Each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, such Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its original Non-Lead Note endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.
55 |
The authority and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell each Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of each Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver its Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which no Note is held in a Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by such seller or any document delivery obligation imposed on such seller under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such seller in connection with the Lead Securitization.
(b) The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, the rights of the Controlling Noteholder set forth in Section 4(f) below and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of the Noteholders as a collective whole, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that is not a Borrower Restricted Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative to exercise their respective rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4(f) and (5), if the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Interest Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, such waiver, modification or amendment shall be effected, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, in a manner consistent with the payment priority set forth in Section 3(b), and to the extent it is not, payments to the Note A Holders, the Senior B Note Holders, Junior B Note Holders and the Note C Holders pursuant to Section 3 shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, and, in any event, the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout shall be borne by the Noteholders in a manner consistent with the payment priorities in Section 3. Subject to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 4(f) and 5), in the case of any modification or amendment described above, the Lead Securitization Noteholder will have the sole authority and ability to revise the payment provisions set forth in Section 3 above in

a manner that reflects the subordination of the Senior B Notes, Junior B Notes and the C Notes to the A Notes, of the C Notes and Junior B Notes to the Senior B Notes and of the C Notes to the Junior B Notes with respect to the loss that is the result of such amendment or modification, including: (i) the ability to increase the Percentage Interest of an A Note, and to increase or reduce, as applicable, the Percentage Interest of a Senior B Note, Junior B Note or a C Note, in a manner that reflects a loss in principal as a result of such amendment or modification and (ii) the ability to change the Interest Rate applicable to a Note in order to reflect a reduction in the Interest Rate of the Mortgage Loan but shall not be permitted to change the order of the clauses set forth in Section 3 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Workout, modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan extends the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan, for purposes of this paragraph, the Balloon Payment will be deemed not to be due on the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan but will be deemed due on the extended maturity date of the Mortgage Loan.
(d) All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be provided access to any website that an investor would be permitted to access in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement, it being understood and agreed that each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is subject to any restrictions on the access to such websites contained in the Servicing Agreement.
(e) If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code; (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Noteholders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Lead Securitization Note (or any portion thereof). The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 4(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 4(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.
Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders
57 |
shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.
(f) (i) Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, with respect to any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision, the Servicer shall provide the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with at least ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) prior notice requesting consent to the requested Major Decision. The Servicer shall not take any action with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), unless and until the Special Servicer receives the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) before implementing a decision with respect to such Major Decision; provided that following the securitization of the Note that entitles its holder to be the Controlling Noteholder, the provisions of the Lead Servicing Agreement shall govern the consent and consultation rights under this Agreement.
(ii) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of a Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of a Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font: “THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE. FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF THIS SECOND NOTICE WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR RIGHT TO CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THIS DECISION.” and if the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), as applicable, shall have no further consent rights with respect to the specific action set forth in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, the Master Servicer may take actions with respect to such Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) if the Master Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Master Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Accepted Servicing Practices.
58 |
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.
Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a C Note Control Appraisal Period, the Special Servicer shall be required to (A) provide copies to each Senior Noteholder that is a Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions, or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, within the same time frame that such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and (B) consult with each Senior Noteholder that is a Non-Controlling Noteholder or its representative on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any such Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Noteholder or its representative; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any such Non-Controlling Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Noteholder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period. Notwithstanding the consultation rights of any Senior Noteholder that is a Non-Controlling Noteholder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any recommended action outlined in an asset status report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Noteholder.
The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Controlling Noteholder certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.
(g) The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain Appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Servicing Agreement.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time a Borrower Restricted Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Class Representative, (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have
59 |
no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.
Section 5. Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.
(a) The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a controlling noteholder representative to exercise its rights hereunder (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 4 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than a Borrower Restricted Party), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder and other Noteholders (and any Servicer) will accept such actions of the Controlling Noteholder Representative as actions of the Controlling Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) of such appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides the Lead Securitization Noteholder (and any Servicer) with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address, any fax number and any email address 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, telephone numbers, any fax numbers and any email addresses). The Controlling Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer. None of the Master Servicers and Trustee shall be required to recognize any person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until they receive such information from the Controlling Noteholder. The Controlling Noteholder agrees to inform each such Servicer or Trustee of the then-current Controlling Noteholder Representative.
(b) Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to any other Noteholder or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Controlling Noteholder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of one Noteholder over any other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the
60 |
interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or such Controlling Noteholder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Noteholder Representative, such Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholder Representative nor such Controlling Noteholder 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 solely in the interests of any Noteholder.
(c) If the holder of Note C-1 is the Controlling Noteholder, the other Noteholders acknowledge and agree all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Sections 4(f) and this Section 5 shall be exercisable by the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement as and to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.
Section 6. Special Servicer. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder and/or Controlling Noteholder Representative shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 6); such termination not be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (B) the initial or successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence. The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.
Section 7. Payment Procedure.
(a) The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Servicing
61 |
Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account for the Notes established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to each Noteholder. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Master Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Borrower.
(b) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.
(c) If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Master Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf).
(d) Each Noteholder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 6 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 6 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.
Section 8.
62 |
Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.
Each Subordinate Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Accepted Servicing Practices, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of such Subordinate Noteholder and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to such Subordinate Noteholder in connection with the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that such Servicer must act in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices.
Each Subordinate Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the obligation of any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Accepted Servicing Practices (as if such standard was applicable to any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “servicer” thereunder), each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of such Subordinate Noteholder and that any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to such Subordinate Noteholder in connection with any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by a Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Non-Lead Servicer must act in accordance with the servicing standard under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f), the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Noteholders (including the Controlling Noteholder) in connection with any case by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan.

Lender, provided, that promptly after the Transfer each Senior Noteholder is provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or such Note C Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender, and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 17 and provided, further, that such transfer would not cause such Note to be held by more than five persons nor cause there to be no one person owning a majority of such Note and (ii) to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, provided that with respect to this clause (ii), such Note C Holder obtains (1) prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder and each other Senior Noteholder, each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (2) after the Lead Securitization Date, Rating Agency Confirmation (and for avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder or other Senior Noteholder shall be required after the closing of the Lead Securitization); provided that in each of case (1) and (2), (x) promptly after the Transfer each Senior Noteholder is provided with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 17 and (y) such transfer would not cause the subject Note to be held by more than five persons; and provided further, however, that if such transfer would cause there to be no one person owning a majority of the subject Note, then such transfer will not be permitted unless persons owning a majority of the subject Note designate one of such persons to act on behalf of such persons owning such majority. If the subject Note is held by more than one Noteholder at any time, the holders of a majority of interest in the subject Note shall immediately appoint a representative to exercise all rights of such Note C Holder hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s prior consent, which may be withheld in the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s sole and absolute discretion, no Note C Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Restricted Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The Note C Holders agree they will pay the expenses of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) and the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders (including all expenses of the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Special Servicer) in connection with any such Transfer.
(b) All Transfers under Section 16(a) shall be made upon written notice to the Senior Noteholders not later than the date of such Transfer, and each transferee shall (i) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the applicable Note C Holder hereunder with respect to its Note from and after the date of such assignment (or, in the case, of a pledge, collateral assignment or other encumbrance made in accordance with Section 16(e) by such Note C Holder of its Note solely as security for a loan to such Note C Holder made by a third-party lender whereby such Note C Holder remains fully liable under this Agreement, on or before the date on which such third-party lender succeeds to the rights of such Note C Holder by foreclosure or otherwise, such third-party lender executes an agreement that such lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of such Note C Holder hereunder) and (ii) agree in writing to be bound by the Servicing Agreement, unless the Servicing Agreement is not then in effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, in which event the parties will enter into or agree to be bound by any replacement servicing agreement therefor in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of a C Note in accordance with this Agreement, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to such C Note (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing
67 |
release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in the subject C Note as described in clause (c) below). In connection with any such permitted transfer of a portion of a C Note and for all purposes of this Agreement, each Senior Noteholder need only recognize the majority holder of such C Note for purposes of notices, consents and other communications between the Noteholders, and such majority holder of the subject C Note shall be the only Person authorized hereunder to exercise any rights of such Note C Holder under this Agreement; provided, however, the majority holder of the subject C Note may from time to time designate any other Person as an additional party entitled to receive notices, consents and other communications and/or to exercise rights on behalf of such Note C Holder hereunder by delivering written notice thereof to each Senior Noteholder, and, from and after delivery of such notice, such designee shall be so authorized hereunder and shall be the only party entitled to receive such notices, consents and such other communications and/or to exercise such rights.
(c) In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholders and any Persons acting on their behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right (if any) to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder or a Non-Controlling Noteholder, as applicable, hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.
(d) Each of the Senior Noteholders shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Senior Note without the prior consent of any other Noteholder (i) with respect to each Senior Note prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than a Borrower Restricted Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including a Borrower Restricted Party; provided, however, that (1) the Senior Noteholder must notify each Rating Agency and each other Noteholder before transfer to a Borrower Restricted Party, and (2) following such Transfer of any Senior Note, the Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no Noteholder or the Master Servicer shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of any other Note.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder 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 (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender
68 |
may not take title to the pledged Note without (a) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each other Noteholder 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 Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder 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 Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Noteholder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Noteholder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder 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 Noteholders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which 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 Noteholder’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 Noteholder 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 16(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.
(f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such
69 |
Noteholder 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 Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;
(ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Xxxxx’x rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;
(iii) Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;
(iv) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder 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 Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’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 the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, 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.
Section 17. Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any Note Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 15, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. In connection with a Transfer of a Note, the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 15 and this Section 17. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon a Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.
Section 18. Registration of the Notes. 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
70 |
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 Section 17, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, 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, except in the case of the Initial Noteholders who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Noteholders hereby designate such person as its agent under this Section 18 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Notes to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
Section 19. Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified, and the arrangement hereby be maintained, in a manner consistent with rules applicable to a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.
Section 20. No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by the Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.
Section 21. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;
(b) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;
(c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND
(d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO XXX IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
Section 23. Modifications; Amendment. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Servicing Agreement, (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 35 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 24. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except as provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 15, each Noteholder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments and grant additional Notes.
Section 25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 27. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 28. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.
Section 29. Withholding Taxes.
(a) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder or the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Noteholder, or the Master Servicer on its behalf, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interest in such payment (all amounts so withheld being deemed paid to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder), provided that the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is subject to tax.
(b) The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Noteholder against and hold the Lead Securitization Noteholder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall, upon
73 |
request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization.
(c) Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder represents to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (for the benefit of the Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Noteholder nor the Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. From time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (if not included at such time in the Lead Securitization Trust) shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Noteholder substantiating that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder, as evidence of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder in respect of its respective Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Noteholder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.
Section 30. Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) will be held by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) who shall act as secured party under the Mortgage Loan Documents on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the Custodian. Each Note shall be held by the respective Noteholder or a custodian appointed by such Noteholder.
Section 31. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if a party has provided a facsimile number, (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iv) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by a written notice or (v) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other
74 |
address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.
All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder.
Section 32. Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.
Section 33. Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.
(a) The Noteholders hereby appoint the Agent to act on their behalf, and the Agent shall act on behalf of the Noteholders;
(b) The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 17;
(c) The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;
(d) The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;
(e) The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Securities Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(f) The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 17; and
(g) The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.
Section 34. Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 34, all of its rights and obligations under this
75 |
Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.
The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. CREFI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. CREFI, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of the Initial Agent or any successor thereto prior to such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Certificate Administrator, as Certificate Administrator under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Certificate Administrator as Agent under this Agreement.
Section 35. Resizing and Reallocation. (a) In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii) below in this paragraph, that if a Senior Noteholder determines that it is advantageous to resize one or more of its Senior Notes by causing the Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “Pari Passu New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Senior Note to such Pari Passu New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding Pari Passu New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Senior Note or Senior Notes immediately prior to the creation of the Pari Passu New Notes, (ii) the weighted average Interest Rate of all outstanding Pari Passu New Notes (based on the relative principal balance of such Pari Passu New Notes) following the creation thereof is the same as the Interest Rate of the related Senior Note or Senior Notes immediately prior to the creation of the Pari Passu New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any resizing of a Senior Note, the related Senior Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the Pari Passu New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion.
(b) Further in connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii) below in this paragraph, upon request of the depositor for the Lead Securitization, to cooperate with such depositor and the Lead Securitization Noteholder to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated and/or additional notes (in either case, “Reallocated New Notes” and, together with the Pari Passu New Notes, the “New Notes”), and to itself execute such Reallocated New Notes, to reallocate principal between the A Notes and the Senior B Notes; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding Reallocated New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the aggregate principal balance of the A Notes and the Senior B Notes immediately prior to the creation of the Reallocated New Notes, (ii) any reallocation of principal between the A Notes and the Senior B Notes will result in an increase or
76 |
decrease, as applicable, in each and every A Note in the same proportion, and in each and every Senior B Note in the same proportion, and (iii) no such resizing shall, considering the A Notes and the Senior B Notes in the aggregate, (x) change the aggregate interest allocable to, or the aggregate amount of any payments due to, the holders of the A Notes and the Senior B Notes, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any obligations or decrease any rights, remedies or protections afforded to the holders of the A Notes and the Senior B Notes.
Section 36. Conflict. To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.
Section 37. Electronic Signatures. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the transaction consisting of this Agreement (and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, each officer’s certificate, receipt or similar closing document delivered in connection with the closing of this transaction) may be conducted by electronic means. Each party agrees, and acknowledges that it is such party’s intent, that if such party signs this Agreement (or, if applicable, such closing document) using an electronic signature, it is signing, adopting, and accepting this Agreement or such closing document and that signing this Agreement or such closing document using an electronic signature is the legal equivalent of having placed its handwritten signature on this Agreement or such closing document on paper. The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
