(b) At any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Note Holders agree to cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced by one or more servicers, each of which has been agreed upon by the Note Holders, pursuant to a servicing agreement that has servicing terms substantially similar to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, all applicable provisions relating to delivery of information and reports necessary for any Non-Lead Securitization to
| 19 |

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an Advance and interest thereon and Trust Fund Expenses in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

(e) Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to pay its Pro Rata Share of (i) any Servicing Advances and any interest accrued and payable on such advances at the Advance Rate and (ii) any Trust Fund Expenses and any other fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan (including, without, limitation, any costs, fees and expenses related to obtaining any Rating Agency Confirmation and any Indemnified Items) in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement to the extent that such amounts remain unpaid or unreimbursed after funds received from the Borrower for payment of such amounts and any principal and interest collections allocable to the Note B-B, Note B-A and Note A-B have been applied to pay such amounts.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to use general collections on the other mortgage loans in the related Non-Lead Securitization Trust to reimburse any P&I Advances or any Nonrecoverable Advances that are P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization Notes or any interest accrued and payable on such P&I Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances that are P&I Advances.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Non-Lead Master Servicer and the special servicer and the trustee under each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (respectively, a “Non-Lead Special Servicer” and a “Non-Lead Trustee”), as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two business days of making such advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note) or a Non-Lead Master Servicer, a Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I 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 Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then, if and to the extent such information is not already included in the Distribution Date Statement for the month in which such P&I Advance is made, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-
| 21 |
recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, the related Non-Lead Special Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of the other Securitization within two business days of making such determination.
The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain provisions to the effect that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may not be amended without the consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note B Holders if such amendment would materially and adversely affect the Mortgage Loan or the rights of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Note B Holders with respect thereto (as determined by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note B Holders, as applicable).
(g) Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that, if the related Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, it shall cause the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:
(i) any Servicing Advances (and advance interest thereon) and any Trust Fund Expenses (including Indemnified Items) relating to servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Mortgage Loan will be paid in accordance with Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;
(ii) in the event that the Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that proceeds of the Mortgage Loan (or foreclosed property) would be insufficient for reimbursement of the amounts described in clause (i) above, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, or the Lead Securitization Trust, as applicable, such Non-Lead Securitization Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency (which shall be determined based on the original principal balance of each Note) out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;
(iii) any matter affecting the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan that requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall also require delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation under each 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the applicable Note Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the Sequential Order of payment of the Notes and 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, and the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such workout shall be borne, first, by the Note B-B Holder (up to its Note Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable Note Rate and any other amounts due to the Note B-B Holder), second, by the Note X-X Xxxxxx (up to its Note Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable Note Rate and any other amounts due to the Note X-X Xxxxxx), third, by the Note A-B Holder (up to its Note Principal Balance, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable Note Rate and any other amounts due to the Note A-B Holder) and then, by the Note A Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable Note Rate and any other amounts due to each Note A Holder, as applicable).

Section 5. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.
(a) Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 6(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) 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 neither the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder nor any Note B Holders shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each of the Note B Holders agree that they shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Note B Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).
Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note B Holders hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Note, Note B-A and Note B-B together with the Lead Securitization Notes as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, subject to: (1) the consent rights of the Controlling Note Holder pursuant to Section 6(c) and (2) the written consent of the holder of each other Note that is not a Lead Securitization Note Holder unless the Special Servicer has
| 29 |
delivered to each such Note Holder: (a) at least 15 business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (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 reasonably requested by the applicable Note Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) 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 Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that the applicable Note Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements described in this sentence.
Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each Appraised-Out Holder and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (or such Note Holder’s representative) that is not a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.
In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Note, Note B-A and Note B-B together with the Lead Securitization Notes in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
Each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each of the Note B Holders hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 the Non-Lead Securitization Note, Note B-A and Note B-B. Each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each of the Note B Holders further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, it shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver originals of each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note, Note B-A and Note B-B, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.
The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Note, Note B-A and Note B-B, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each of the Note B Holders to execute and deliver instruments or deliver each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note, Note B-A and Note B-B upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization is terminated in accordance with its terms.
(b) If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within
| 30 |
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 Note Holders 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 interest of each Note Holder 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 exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders 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 (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.
Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder 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 the other Note Holders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.
(c) The Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated, first, to the Note B-B up to its outstanding principal balance, second, to the Note B-A up to its outstanding principal balance, third, to the A-B Note up to its outstanding principal balance, and then to the A Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on their relative outstanding principal balances).
(d) (i) If the Note B-B Holder, the Note X-X Xxxxxx or the Note A-B Holder, as applicable, is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Note Holder (the “Appraised-Out Holder”) as a result of the application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount, such Note Holder shall have the right, at its sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such second Appraisal to be (A) delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Appraised-Out Holder’s written request and (B) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Appraised-Out Holder is requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal).
(ii) Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether,
| 31 |
based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such supplemental Appraisal and any information received from the Master Servicer. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Holder shall be reinstated as the Controlling Note Holder and, if applicable, shall have its Note Principal Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Appraised-Out Holder requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Note Holder until such time, if any, as the holder is reinstated as the Controlling Note Holder (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Note Holder during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the Note A-B Holder.
(e) Each Note B Holder shall be entitled to avoid a Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount upon satisfaction of the following (which must be completed within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a third party Appraisal that indicates such Control Appraisal Period has occurred): (i) such Note Holder shall have delivered as a supplement to the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, in the amount specified in clause (ii) below, to the Servicer, together with documentation acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Note A-B Holder and the Note A Holders (and the Note X-X Xxxxxx, if the Note B-B Holder is the Note Holder making such delivery to the Servicer) in such collateral (a) cash collateral for the benefit of the A-B Note and the A Notes (and the Note B-A, if the Note B-B Holder is the Note Holder making such delivery), and acceptable to, the Servicer or (b) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit with the Note A-B Holder and the Note A Holders (and the Note X-X Xxxxxx, if the Note B-B Holder is the Note Holder delivery such letter of credit) as the beneficiary, issued by a bank or other financial institutions the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are at all times rated at least “AA” by S&P, “A” by Fitch and “Aa2” by Xxxxx’x or the short term obligations of which are rated at least “A-1+” by S&P, “F-1” by Fitch and “P-1” by Xxxxx’x (either (a) or (b), the “Threshold Event Collateral”), and (ii) the Threshold Event Collateral shall be in an amount which, when added to the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, would cause the applicable Control Appraisal Period not to occur. If the requirements of this paragraph are satisfied by a Note B Holder (a “Threshold Event Cure”), no Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to have occurred. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the applicable Note B Holder shall be required to renew such letter of credit not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration thereof or to replace such letter of credit with a substitute letter of credit or other Threshold Event Collateral with an expiration date that is greater than forty-five (45) days from the date of substitution; provided, however, that, if a letter of credit is not renewed prior to thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit, the letter of credit shall provide that the Servicer may (and at the direction of the applicable Note B Holder shall)
| 32 |
draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the applicable Note B Holder shall be required to replace such letter of credit with other Threshold Event Collateral within thirty (30) days if the credit ratings of the issuing entity are downgraded below the required ratings; provided, however, that, if such Threshold Event Collateral is not so replaced, the Servicer shall draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent a Control Appraisal Period from occurring; or (ii) final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or REO Property. If the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, upon any redetermination thereof, is sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period without taking into consideration any, or some portion of, Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by such Note B Holder any or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Servicer shall promptly be returned to the applicable Note B Holder (at its sole expense). Upon final liquidation or repayment of the Mortgage Loan or REO Property with respect to the Mortgage Loan, such Threshold Event Collateral shall be available to reimburse each Note Holder for any realized loss pursuant to Section 3 or 4, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan after application of the net proceeds of liquidation, not in excess of the Note Principal Balances of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable interest rate and all other expenses reimbursable under this Agreement and under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The entire amount of Threshold Event Collateral, without a haircut or other reduction, shall be considered in determining the sufficiency of such Threshold Event Collateral to avoid a Control Appraisal Period.
(f) The Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
Section 6. Appointment of Controlling Note Holder Representative and Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative.
(a) The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Trustee or Certificate
| 33 |
Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and facsimile number 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 and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator.
(b) Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder 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 Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder 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, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.
(c) The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Lead Securitization Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Certificateholder” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Major Decisions related to a Specially Serviced Loan and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all Major Decisions for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) during a Control Termination Event (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be
| 34 |
permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.
If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of written notice of a proposed Major Decision, together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Days such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.
In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder, is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole taking into account that the Note B-B is junior to the Note B-A, the Note B-B and the Note B-A are junior to the A-B Note and that the Note B-B, the Note B-A and the A-B Note are junior to the A Notes) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.
No objection contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
The Controlling Note Holder shall have no liability to the other Note Holders or any other party for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holders, and that the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Controlling Note Holder shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in
| 35 |
willful misconduct or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.
(d) Each Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative”). Each Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, each Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative. The Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party), including, without limitation, the related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder, any officer or employee of the related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder, any affiliate of the related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than such Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by each Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by a Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of such Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder.
(e) No Servicer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative until the related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder, the Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment (and such parties will be entitled to rely on such notice), an address and facsimile number 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 and facsimile numbers). The related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator.
(f) For so long as the Lead Securitization has not been terminated, during a Note A-B Control Appraisal Period (1) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required to provide to the Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative) (i) notice, information and reports with respect to any Major Decisions (similar to such notice, information and report it is required to deliver to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (without regard to whether a “control termination event” has occurred) and (ii) a summary of the Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan (at the same time as it is required to deliver to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (without regard to whether a “control termination event” has occurred) and (2) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be
| 36 |
required to consult with each Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis with respect to any such Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions in the summary of the Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by the related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to a Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) 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). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of any Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Special Servicer acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Special Servicer) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder (or its related Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder Representative).
Section 7. Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall
| 37 |
serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid.
Section 8. Payment Procedure.
(a) The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments and collections on the Mortgage Loan to the Collection Account and the portion of such payments and collections that are distributable to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and the Note B Holders shall be deposited into the Companion Loan Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall (i) deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, and (ii) remit from the applicable account (A) with respect to the Lead Securitization Notes, the remittance date under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Lead Securitization Notes, and (B) with respect to each Non-Lead Securitization Note, Note B-B and Note B-A, the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), in each case, all payments received and allocable pursuant to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, Note B-B and Note B-A (net of amounts payable or reimbursable from such account) by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the applicable Note Holder.
(b) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Note Holders and each Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.
(c) If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) makes any payment to a Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to the related Note Holder, such Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note
| 38 |
Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf).
(d) Each Note Holder 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 shall promptly remit such excess to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf), subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.
Section 9. Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder.
The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Section 10. Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 6(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Note Holders 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
| 39 |
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 Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each other Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Section 11. Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder 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 Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’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 Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.
Each Note B Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, except with respect to the representations and warranties provided by the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder herein, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase its Note B and each Note B Holder accepts responsibility therefor. Each Note B Holder hereby acknowledges that, other than the representations and warranties provided herein, the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder have made no representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loan, subject to such representations and warranties as provided by the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder herein, and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectibility of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the
| 40 |
lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note B Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its Note B except as specifically set forth herein.
Section 12. 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 the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if any Note Holder chooses to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.
Section 13. Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holders or their Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Affiliate”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Affiliate 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 14. Sale of the Notes.
(a) Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with Section 14(d)) of a Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, the non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer to a Securitization (and the related pooling and servicing or similar agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement) or a Transfer that is made in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain (x) prior to a Securitization, the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder or (2) after a Securitization of such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without Rating Agency Confirmation, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related
| 41 |
Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it will pay the expenses of the non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to the confirmation from the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its Note or any beneficial interest in its Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.
(b) In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder 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 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any Person which Controls such Note that is secured by its 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 Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder 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 Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such
| 42 |
other Note Holder 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 Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. A Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder 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 Note Holders 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 Note Holder’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 Note Holder 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 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.
(d) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder 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 Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;
(ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;
(iii) Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;
(iv) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance
| 43 |
its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’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 a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, 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 15. Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note Holder is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holders. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such Person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.
In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

(a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Note Holder 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 Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.
(b) Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Note B Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and
| 46 |
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Note B Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Note B Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note B Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Note Holder and such Note B Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.
(c) Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Note B Holder represent to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan 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. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Note B Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note or a Note B Holder or otherwise until the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.
Section 25. Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Notes) (a) prior to the Lead Securitization will be held by the Initial Agent and (b) after the Lead Securitization, will be held
| 47 |
by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the name of the Trustee and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), in each case, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.
Section 26. Cooperation in Securitization.
(a) Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 the Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with the Lead Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Lead Securitization, none of the Note Holders 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 such payments to, a Note Holder or (ii) materially increase a Note Holders’ obligations or materially decrease any Note Holders’ rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the Lead Securitization, each Note Holder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization such information concerning such Note Holder and the related Note as the Lead Securitization Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and each Note Holder covenants and agrees that it shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Noteholder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to a Note Holder and the related Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Note Holder will reasonably cooperate with each Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s possession in connection with each Note Holders’ preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.
| 48 |
Upon request, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to a Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Lead Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.
Section 27. Notices.
All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or shall be in writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) 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.
Section 28. Broker.
Each Note Holder represents to each other that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.
Section 29. Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.
(a) 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 14 and Section 15;
(b) 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;
(c) 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 Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;
(d) 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;
(e) 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 15;
(f) 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; and
| 49 |
(g) The Agent represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.
Section 30. Termination and Resignation of Agent.
(a) The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Lead Securitization Note Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 30, 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.
(b) The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. Natixis, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders 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 Natixis without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.
Section 31. Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as Natixis or an affiliate of Natixis (an “Original Entity”) is the owner of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing the Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis (to the extent described in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holders of the other Notes. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to (i) through (iv), as certified by the Original Entity, on which
| 50 |
certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder hereunder, the “Non-Controlling Senior Note Holder” of such New Notes shall be as provided in the definition of such term in this Agreement.
Section 32. Cure Rights of Note X-X Xxxxxx and Note B-B Holder.
(a) Subject to Section 32(b) below, in the event that the Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loan by the end of the applicable grace period for such payment permitted under the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly provide notice to the Note B-B Holder, the Note X-X Xxxxxx and the Controlling Note Holder Representative of such default (the “Monetary Default Notice”). The Note B-B Holder and/or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Monetary Default (such curing Note Holder, the “Curing Note Holder”) within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Monetary Default Notice (the “Cure Period”). If both the Note B-B Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx elect to cure such Monetary Default, the Note B-B Holder will be the “Curing Note Holder”; provided, however, that in the case of a Non-Monetary Default, if both the Note B-B Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx elect to cure such default, the Note B-B Holder will be the “Curing Note Holder” so long as it is diligently pursuing such non-monetary cure, and will have the exclusive right to effect such cure. At the time a payment is made to cure a Monetary Default, the Curing Note Holder shall pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (and, in the case of any cure made by the Note B-B Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx) for all unreimbursed Advances (whether or not recoverable), Advance Interest Amounts, any unpaid fees to any Servicer and any Additional Servicing Expenses. The Curing Note Holder shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder, to pay any default interest or late charges under the Mortgage Loan Documents. So long as a Monetary Default exists for which a cure payment permitted hereunder is made, such Monetary Default shall not be treated as an Event of Default for purposes of (i) the definition of “Sequential Pay Event,” (ii) accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) treating the Mortgage Loan as a “Defaulted Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement); provided that such limitation shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder from collecting default interest or late charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Any amounts advanced by a Note Holder on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower to effect any cure shall be reimbursable to such Note Holder under Section 3.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 32(a), the Note B-B Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx collectively shall be limited to six (6) cures of Monetary Defaults in the aggregate in a 12 month period, and six (6) cures of Non-Monetary Defaults in the aggregate over the term of the Mortgage Loan, it being understood that a Non-Monetary Default Cure Period that may extend longer than one month in accordance with
| 51 |
Section 32(d) shall be considered to be a single cure. Additional Cure Periods shall only be permitted with the consent of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and in the case of any cure made by the Note B-B Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx.
(c) No action taken by the Note B-B Holder or Note X-X Xxxxxx in accordance with this Agreement shall excuse performance by the Mortgage Loan Borrower of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents and the rights of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall not be waived or prejudiced by virtue of the Note B-B Holder’s or Note X-X Xxxxxx’x actions under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Curing Note Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to any payment owing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder for which the Curing Note Holder makes a cure payment as permitted under this Section 32, but such subrogation rights may not be exercised against the Mortgage Loan Borrower until 91 days after the Lead Securitization Note and the Non-Lead Securitization Note (and in the case of any subrogation rights held by the Note B-B Holder, the Lead Securitization Note, the Non-Lead Securitization Note and the Note B-B) are paid in full.
(d) If an Event of Default (other than a Monetary Default) occurs and is continuing under the Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Non-Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly provide notice to the Note B-B Holder, the Note X-X Xxxxxx and the Controlling Note Holder Representative of such failure (the “Non-Monetary Default Notice”) and the Note B-B Holder and/or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Non-Monetary Default within ten (10) days from the later of (i) the expiration of the cure period of the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents and (ii) receipt of the Non-Monetary Default Notice; provided, however, if such Non-Monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such period and if curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by the applicable Curing Note Holder, such Curing Note Holder shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary to enable such Curing Note Holder in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Non-Monetary Default for so long as (i) the Curing Note Holder diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such Non-Monetary Default, (ii) the Curing Note Holder makes all cure payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 32(a) hereof, (iii) such additional period of time does not exceed sixty (60) days, (iv) such Non-Monetary Default is not caused by an Insolvency Proceeding or during such period of time that the Curing Note Holder has to cure a Non-Monetary Default in accordance with this Section 32(d) (the “Non-Monetary Default Cure Period”), an Insolvency Proceeding does not occur and (v) during such Non-Monetary Default Cure Period, there is no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Monetary Default or the attempted cure.
Section 33. Purchase Rights of Note B-B Holder and of Note X-X Xxxxxx. The Note B-B Holder shall have the right, by written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx, and the Note X-X Xxxxxx shall have the right, by written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (any such notice, a “Note Holder Purchase Notice”), delivered at any time an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, to purchase
| 52 |
(x) in the case of a purchase made by the Note B-B Holder, the Lead Securitization Notes, the Non-Lead Securitization Note and Note B-A and (y) in the case of a purchase made by the Note X-X Xxxxxx, each of the Lead Securitization Notes and the Non-Lead Securitization Note, in immediately available funds, in whole but not in part at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. Upon the delivery of the Note Holder Purchase Notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and/or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and/or the Note X-X Xxxxxx shall sell (and the Note B-B Holder or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, shall purchase) the Lead Securitization Notes, the Non-Lead Securitization Note and, if applicable, the Note B-A at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, on a date (the “Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Date”) (i) not more than ten (10) Business Days after the written exercise by the Note B-B Holder or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, to purchase the Lead Securitization Notes, the Non-Lead Securitization Note and, if applicable, Note B-A or (ii) not more than thirty (30) days after the written exercise by the Note B-B Holder or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, to purchase the Lead Securitization Notes, the Non-Lead Securitization Note and if applicable, Note B-A if such purchasing Note Holder deposits 10% of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price with the Lead Securitization Note Holder within ten (10) Business Days after the written exercise of the Note B-B Holder or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, to purchase the Lead Securitization Notes, the Non-Lead Securitization Note and, if applicable, Note B-A. Any Note Holder Purchase Notice shall contain a statement that the Note B-B Holder’s or the Note X-X Xxxxxx’x failure to purchase the Lead Securitization Notes and the Non-Lead Securitization Note on a Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Date will result in the termination of such Note Holder’s right. The Note B-B Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx agree that the sale of the Lead Securitization Notes and the Non-Lead Securitization Note shall comply with all requirements of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and that all costs and expenses related thereto shall be paid by the purchasing Note Holder. The Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) three (3) Business Days prior to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Date (and such calculation shall be accompanied by a listing of all amounts included in the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the purchasing Note Holder. Concurrently with the payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and, if applicable, the Note X-X Xxxxxx in immediately available funds of its respective portion of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and, if applicable, the Note X-X Xxxxxx will execute at the sole cost and expense of the purchasing Note Holder in favor of such purchasing Note Holder assignment documentation which will assign the Lead Securitization Notes, the Non-Lead Securitization Note and, if applicable, Note B-A and the related Mortgage Loan Documents without recourse, representations or warranties (except that each selling Note Holder will represent and warrant that it had good and marketable title to, was the sole owner and holder of, and had power and authority to deliver the Mortgage Loan or Note, as applicable, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances).
The right of the Note B-B Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, to purchase the Lead Securitization Note and the Non-Lead Securitization Note shall automatically terminate upon a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property (and the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall give the Note B-B Holder, or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, fifteen (15) days’ notice
| 53 |
of its intent with respect to any such action). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title to the Mortgaged Property is transferred to the Master Servicer (or other nominee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) less than fifteen (15) days after the acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall notify the Note B-B Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx of such transfer, and each of the Note B-B Holder or Note X-X Xxxxxx shall have a fifteen (15) day period from the date of such notice from Lead Securitization Note Holder to deliver a Note Holder Purchase Notice in accordance with this Section 33, in which case the Note B-B Holder or the Note X-X Xxxxxx, as applicable, will be obligated to purchase the Mortgaged Property, in immediately available funds, within such fifteen (15) day period at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.
In the event both the Note B-B Holder and the Note X-X Xxxxxx deliver a Note Holder Purchase Notice, the Note B-B Holder shall have the right to exercise the purchase option set forth in this Section 33.
