(xxi) any conflict between the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement.
(f) Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees that it shall cause the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to provide as follows (and to the extent such following provisions are not included in such Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, they shall be deemed incorporated therein and made a part thereof):
(i) such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances (and advance interest thereon) and any additional trust fund expenses, but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that in the event that the funds received with respect to the Notes are insufficient to cover such Property Protection Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (A) the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Lead Securitization Trust, as applicable, out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the

Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances (together with advance interest thereon) and/or other additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property), and (B) if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general account, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may do so, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advances (together with advance interest thereon) and/or additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property);
(ii) each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and, in the case of the Lead Securitization Trust, to the extent of any additional trust fund expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan) by the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, against any of the Indemnified Items to 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 Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;
(iii) the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Trustee or Non-Lead Certificate Administrator will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor (i) promptly following the Non-Lead Securitization, notice of the deposit of the Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice may be (x) in the form of delivery (which may be by email) of a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (y) by email notification together with contact information for the Non-Lead Trustee, the Non-Lead Certificate Administrator, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement, accompanied by a copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (ii) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Trustee or the party designated to exercise the rights of such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact
28
information) (which may be in the form of email delivery of a copy of any revised Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement); and
(iv) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.
(g) The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall:
(i) give each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that is included in a Securitization (if any) at the time of the Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, notice of such Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note in writing (which may be by email) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable pricing date for the Lead Securitization, together with contact information for each of the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; and
(ii) send to each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder and the parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (x) on or promptly following the Lead Securitization Date (to the extent the applicable parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement have been engaged by the related Non-Lead Depositor on or prior to the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in XXXXX-compatible format) of the execution version of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (y) within (1) one Business Day after the date of any re-filing by the Depositor of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with the Commission to account for any changes thereto (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in XXXXX-compatible format) of the re-filed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (z) promptly following distribution thereof to the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, any changes made by the Depositor to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date).
(h) Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide (or cause to be provided) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (provided that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement has been delivered to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder) notice of the closing of the related Non-Lead Securitization, in writing (which may be by email) prior to or promptly following the related Non-Lead Securitization Date, which notice shall include a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the 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.
(j) At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that contains servicing provisions which are the same as or more favorable to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders, in substance, to those in the Servicing Agreement and all references herein to the
29
“Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent servicing agreement; provided, however, that if a Non-Lead Securitization Note is in a Securitization, then a written confirmation shall have been obtained from each Rating Agency rating such Securitization that the appointment of the servicer(s) pursuant to such servicing agreement would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings assigned to the securities issued in connection with such Securitization; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with the servicing provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer under such replacement Servicing Agreement shall have no further obligations to advance monthly payments of principal and 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 meeting the requirements of the Servicing Agreement appointed by the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the special servicer appointed by the Controlling Noteholder (which special servicer must satisfy the Required Special Servicer Rating of, or otherwise be acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies rating any outstanding Securitization) and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement.
(k) Subject to the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, and solely in the event that S&P rates any securities issued in connection with any Securitization of any A Note, the Servicer shall require the related Mortgage Loan Borrower to maintain insurance with an insurer meeting the minimum S&P ratings requirements specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any lender discretion with respect to such ratings in the related Mortgage Loan Documents).
Section 3. Payment Priorities of the Notes. The A Notes shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements that are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to the extent permitted by the REMIC Provisions), but excluding (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents (to the extent, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer (excluding master servicing fees, trustee fees, certificate administrator fees, operating advisor fees and asset representations reviewer fees (all of which shall be payable by each Noteholder to such party out of distributions made to such Noteholder in respect of its respective Note), with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (such amounts contemplated by clauses (x) and (y), “Withheld Amounts”), shall be applied to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.
30
For clarification purposes, Default Interest and late payment charges (collectively, “Penalty Charges”) paid on the A Notes pursuant to this Section 3 shall be allocated to the Note A Holders on a pro rata basis and applied: first, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable on each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Property Protection Advances and reimbursement of any Property Protection Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; second, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to the Noteholder of each such A Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, Non-Lead Master Servicer or Non-Lead Trustee for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable); third, to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Penalty Charges otherwise payable to each Note A Holder by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Servicing Agreement); and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges otherwise allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable pursuant to this Section 3 to any Note A Holder that is not the Lead Securitization Noteholder, to pay such remaining amount (x) prior to the Securitization of such A Note, to the related Note A Holder and (y) following the Securitization of such A Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Servicing Agreement.
Section 4. [Reserved.]
Section 5. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.
(a) Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard, 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 Mortgage Loan 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. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Non-Lead 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 Non-Lead 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 Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization
31
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).
(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 this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. The Servicers shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard. 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 Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of the Noteholders as a collective whole. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(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 5(f) and 6), if the Servicer in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof in accordance herewith such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan 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 Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Note A Holders pursuant to Section 3 shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each A Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, 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 Note A Holders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes).
(d) All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this 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 Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from
32
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 all or a portion of any A Note. The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(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 5(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 (without reimbursement under Section 3) 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 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, if 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 has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Major Decision be made, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the Controlling Noteholder and its Controlling Noteholder Representative, if any, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to taking action with respect to such Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person shall implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision) unless and until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative).
(ii) If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 such Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of such 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
33
consent with respect to this decision,” and if the Controlling Noteholder 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 shall have no further consent rights with respect to such action (provided, however, that such failure to reply shall not affect the rights of the Controlling Noteholder to consent to any future actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) (or before consulting with any Non-Controlling Noteholder to the extent such Non-Controlling Noteholder has consultation rights with respect to such action) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard 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 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 Servicing Standard.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice, direction, objection 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 Servicing Standard, 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.
The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each 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 such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any 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; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any 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 (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). After a Securitization of any Note that is not the Lead Securitization Note, references in this paragraph to
34
a Non-Controlling Noteholder as such term relates to such Note shall mean the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.
In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Noteholder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.
The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor or Risk Retention Consultation Party certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions and other events related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.
(g) The Noteholders acknowledge that so long as any Note is included in a Securitization, the rights under Section 9.3.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall not be exercisable by any Noteholder.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) [Reserved.]
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time a Borrower 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 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.
(k) If an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Servicing Agreement and subject to the Servicing Standard, elect to sell the Mortgage Loan, subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), in which case such sale would include all the A Notes and the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each Non-Lead Master Servicer, who shall provide notice to the related Non-Controlling Noteholder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling Noteholder’s opportunity to submit an offer on the A Notes together.
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 its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its respective Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Noteholder further
35
agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of the 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 respective 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. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The authority of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell a Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of a Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the 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 the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization from the Lead Securitization Trust in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by such Person with respect to the Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Person that sold such Lead Securitization Note into the Lead Securitization or any document delivery obligation imposed on such Person under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such Person in connection with the Lead Securitization.
Section 6. 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 5 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 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
36
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 Servicers, Operating Advisor 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 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) Each of the other Noteholders acknowledges and agrees all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Controlling Noteholder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement.
Section 7. 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 any 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 7); such termination not to 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 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
37
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.
The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions to the effect that any Special Servicer is subject to termination under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained. The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.
Section 8. 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 Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account 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 Mortgage Loan Borrower; provided, however, that in the event the Master Servicer is in receipt of properly identified funds that are not available to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer may instead deposit such amounts into the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account, as applicable, on the same Business Day that such properly identified funds become available to the Master Servicer.
(b) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the 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 Mortgage Loan 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 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
38
Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the 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 Mortgage Loan 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 Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the 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 Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the 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 Servicer on its behalf) for application subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and the Servicing. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the 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 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.
Section 9. 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 Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
39
Section 10. Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, 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 one or more of such Noteholders in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan 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. The Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), each other Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Section 12. [Reserved.]
Section 13. [Reserved.]
Section 14. Representations of the Note A Holders. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Noteholder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Noteholder and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Noteholder as applicable enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its respective business. Each of the Note A Holders represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Noteholder, (b) to such Noteholder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Noteholder have
40
been obtained or made and (c) to such Noteholder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Noteholder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.
Section 15. Each of the Note A Holders acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
Section 16. No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates and if any Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase any future mortgage loan originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates.
Section 17. Not a Security. None of the Notes shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
Section 18. Other Business Activities of the Noteholders. Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.
Section 19. Sale of the Notes.
(a) [Reserved.]
(b) [Reserved.]
(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
41
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 to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.
(d) Each of the Note A Holders shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Note without the prior consent of any other Noteholder (i) prior to an Event of Default, to any party other than a Borrower Party and (ii) after an Event of Default, to any party, including a Borrower Party; provided, however, that following any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, a Note A Holder may only transfer all or any portion of its Note to a Borrower Party with the prior written consent of the Controlling Noteholder at any time when such Note A Holder is not the Controlling Noteholder; provided further, however, that following any Transfer of any A Note, the Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 12, no Noteholder or the Servicer shall have any right to Transfer or cause the Transfer of any other Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note A Holder’s prior consent, and, if any such non-transferring Note A Holder’s Note or any portion thereof is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the related Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer its Note or any portion thereof (or a participation interest in such Note) to a Borrower Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than a Borrower Party) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is (x) either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency or (y) to any Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank to secure any obligation of such Noteholder to such bank and such pledge shall be enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19(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 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
42
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 Mortgage Loan 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 19(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 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 made by the Conduit (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) 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;
43
(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 20. Assignment and Assumption Upon Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note to any entity (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any 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 restrictions on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Trustee nor any Non-Lead Trustee shall 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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as the case may be. 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 19 and this Section 20. 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.
Section 21. 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 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 20, 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 their agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. The parties intend for the Mortgage Loan
44
to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
Section 22. [Reserved.]
Section 23. No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Noteholders to any one or more other Noteholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead 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 Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of the application thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.
Section 24. 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 (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 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.

(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
45
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 26. 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, or (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 38 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 or the Servicing Agreement.
Section 27. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Subject to Section 19, 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.
Section 28. 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 30. 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 32. [Reserved.]
Section 33. 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 34. 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 (iv) 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 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 as a Non-Controlling Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder.
Section 35. Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.
Section 36. 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 20;
(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;
47
(e) The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the 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 20; 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 37. Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note A-1 Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 37, all of its rights and obligations under this 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. DB, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. DB, 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 Master Servicer 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 upon such Securitization without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action, in which case the appointment of a successor Master Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be deemed an appointment of such successor Master Servicer as successor Agent under this Agreement without any further notice or other action.
Section 38. Resizing. In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii)(y) below, that if any Note A Holder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such 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 New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the interest rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the 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
48
(y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any resizing of any A Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion.
Section 39. 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 40. Cooperation in Securitization.
(a) Each Noteholder acknowledges that each Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization of any A Note, each other Noteholder, at the request of the related securitizing Noteholder, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with such Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect such Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with such Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to such Securitization no other Noteholder shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise materially adversely affect the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of an A Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide, for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization, such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Note A Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 40.
(b) Each Note A Holder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may,
49
at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such other Noteholder fails to respond within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon (but no failure to comment shall constitute a waiver of such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents, the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control (the parties acknowledging that no inaccuracy in such documents shall in any respect prejudice any such other Noteholder’s rights hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents). No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Note A Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization of such Note A Holder’s A Note, and (ii) each such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Note A Holder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with such Note A Holder’s respective Securitization.
