If no Continuing Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, all amounts actually tendered by or on behalf of the Borrower or otherwise actually available for payment on the Loan (including Scheduled Payments, advances by a Participant in respect of the Interest Reserve, any amounts received in connection with any guaranty or indemnity agreement included in the Loan Documents, principal prepayments, balloon payments, liquidation proceeds, Yield Maintenance Premiums, Cure Payments (to the extent such Cure Payments represent payments due on the Loan rather than Protective Advances), Late Charges, and other fees, any proceeds of the consummation of a transaction under the Option Agreement that are applied by Borrower to repayment of the Loan, and the Participation Amount; but excluding proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain (other than any amounts thereof that are applied to repayment of the Loan) (individually or collectively, “Available Funds”) shall be distributed on the applicable Distribution Date by Agent and applied in the following order of priority (at such times, and out of such funds, as are specified (if any) and the appropriate clause herein):

(i) To Agent (and any Prior Agent), to reimburse any Costs incurred by Agent (and any Prior Agent) (including Costs incurred in its capacity as Servicer) in connection with its servicing and enforcement of the Loan and its administration and disposition of REO Property.

5.4 Clarifications Applicable to All Distribution Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
28
(i) During any period when Cure Payments are being timely made by the Junior Participant (to the extent permitted hereunder), the Loan will be treated, as between the Participants, as if no Event of Default is continuing, and enforcement of remedies against Borrower (other than the sending of notices of default and similar communications) will be deferred or suspended.
(ii) Following any period during which the terms of Section 5.3 come into in effect, if the applicable Continuing Event of Default is no longer continuing, whether as a result of a restructuring in connection with a workout or otherwise, and no other Continuing Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the terms of Section 5.3 shall be suspended and Section 5.2 shall again be in effect, subject, however, to the terms of Section 6.
5.5 Return of Excess Payments and Agent’s Right of Offset.
(i) If Agent determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time, that any amount received or collected in respect of the Loan or either Participation pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, must be returned to the Borrower or any other Person, Agent shall be not required to distribute any portion thereof to any Participant, and each Participant shall promptly on demand repay to the Agent any portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the Participant, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Agent shall have been required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person with respect thereto. Each Participant agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any source whatsoever (other than as a distribution from Agent to which it is entitled hereunder) any payment on account of the Loan, it will promptly remit such payment to the Agent for distribution in accordance with this Agreement. If Agent determines that a distribution to a Participant was in error or contrary to law, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any other applicable agreement, the Participant that received such distribution shall promptly on demand remit such payment to Agent for proper redistribution.
(ii) The obligations of each Participant under this Section 5.5 are separate and distinct obligations from one another, and each Participant understands that Agent shall have no right or obligation to enforce the obligations of Senior Participant against Junior Participant or the obligations of Junior Participant against Senior Participant. The obligations of each Participant under this Section 5.5 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and Agent shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of these provisions.
(iii) Agent shall have the right to offset any amounts due under this Section 5.5 from any Participant with respect to the Loan against any future payments due to such Participant hereunder.
5.6 Exit Fee.
29
(i) The right to the Exit Fee is personal to RCP and its Affiliates, may not be assigned, and shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee of the Senior Participation which is not an Affiliate of RCP. The Exit Fee shall be payable, pursuant to Section 2.8 or Section 9, or distributable pursuant to Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, only if, at the time that the Loan is paid in full or (if applicable) on the Junior Participant Purchase Option Closing Date, a fifty percent (50%) or greater beneficial interest in the Senior Participation is owned by RCP or an Affiliate of RCP.
(ii) Senior Participant shall waive the Exit Fee if the Loan is repaid from the proceeds of a permanent loan (“Permanent Financing”), including but not limited to, any Xxxxxx Xxx or FHA/HUD mortgage insurance processing services and other permanent loan executions, offered by Red Mortgage Capital, LLC (“RMC”) or an Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that neither RMC nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to provide any such Permanent Financing.
5.7 Commitment and Origination Fees. Junior Participant shall retain the $419,120.00 loan commitment fee paid by Borrower on the Closing Date, and no distribution with respect thereto shall be made hereunder. However, pursuant to Section 3.1, Senior Participant has received a credit on the Effective Date representing an origination fee of $200,000.00.
5.8 Extension Fee. In the event that the “Maturity Date” of the Loan occurs after January 15, 2020 as a result of elections made by Sentio pursuant to terms contained in the definitions of “Maturity Date” or “Stated Maturity Date” or negotiated written agreements between Sentio (in its capacity as Agent) and Borrower, Junior Participant shall pay the Extension Fee to the Senior Participant on or before January 15, 2020. Notwithstanding a Loss of Control Event, the right of Lender to extend the “Maturity Date” by operation of terms in the definitions of “Maturity Date” or “Stated Maturity Date” is reserved to Sentio, and may not be exercised by Senior Participant in its capacity as Agent. For clarification, an extension of the “Maturity Date” negotiated by Senior Participant, in its capacity as Agent after a Loss of Control Event, shall not trigger any obligation to pay an Extension Fee. Also, for clarification, a delay in repayment of the Loan until after January 15, 2020, shall not give rise to any obligation to pay the Extension Fee unless Sentio actually made the foregoing elections or, in its capacity as Agent, actually entered into a written agreement with Borrower extending the Maturity Date beyond such date.
Section 6: WORKOUTS AND REALIZED LOAN LOSSES.
6.1 Limitation of Impact of Workouts on Senior Participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the consent rights of the Participants in accordance with this Agreement, if in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Loan the terms thereof are modified such that:
(i) the Loan Principal Balance is decreased,
(ii) the Loan Interest Rate is reduced,
30
(iii) payments of interest or principal on the Loan are waived or reduced or deferred (other than a deferral of principal resulting solely from the extension of the Maturity Date of the Loan), or
(iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Loan, then
all payments to the Senior Participant pursuant to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, as applicable, shall be made as though such workout did not occur (except to the extent of Realized Loan Losses allocated to the Senior Participation in accordance with Section 6.2).
6.2 Economic Effect of Realized Loan Losses Borne by Participants in Reverse Sequential Order. The full economic effect of any Realized Loan Losses shall be allocated first to the Junior Participation until the Junior Participation Principal Balance is reduced to zero, and only thereafter to Senior Participation in reduction of the Senior Participation Principal Balance.
6.3 Distributions on Participations When Property is REO Property. If the Property shall become an REO Property, the priority of distributions among the Participants shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3 that would be applicable following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Continuing Event of Default (whether or not the applicable Loan Documents then remain in effect).
Section 7: [RESERVED]
Section 8: LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.
8.1 Liability of Senior Participant to Junior Participant.

Junior Participant shall not have any personal liability to Senior Participant with respect to the Senior Participation except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of Junior Participant.

Section 9: PURCHASE OF SENIOR PARTICIPATION BY JUNIOR PARTICIPANT.
9.1 Grant of Junior Participant Purchase Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9, Senior Participant hereby grants to Junior Participant the option (the “Junior Participant Purchase Option”) to purchase the Senior Participation at any time for a purchase price, in cash, equal to the Junior Participant Purchase Option Price.

9.2 Conditions of Junior Participant Purchase Option. In order to exercise the Junior Participant Purchase Option, Junior Participant must deliver to Senior Participant a written notice (the “Junior Participant Purchase Option Notice”) not later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the scheduled and published date of foreclosure of the Mortgage. The Junior Participant Purchase Option Notice must be duly executed by an authorized representative of Junior Participant and must declare Junior Participant’s unconditional election to exercise the Junior Participant Purchase Option.
9.3 Closing of Purchase and Sale Pursuant to Junior Participant Purchase Option. If Junior Participant timely delivers a Junior Participant Purchase Option Notice, then Junior Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to purchase, and Senior Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to sell, the Senior Participation for a price, in cash, equal to the Junior Participant Purchase Option Price, on a mutually convenient date (the “Junior Participant Purchase Option Closing Date”) that is not earlier than five Business Days and not later than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Junior Participant Purchase Option Price Notice. The Junior Participant Purchase Option Price shall be calculated by Agent not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Junior Participant Purchase Option Closing Date and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Participants. On the Junior Participant Purchase Option Closing Date, Junior Participant shall pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of Senior Participant and Agent incurred in connection with such purchase. Upon the consummation of the sale of the Senior Participation to Junior Participant, Senior Participant shall assign the Senior Participation to Junior Participant without recourse or warranty, except that Senior Participant owns the Senior Participation free and clear of liens and encumbrances, and that Senior Participant has the power and authority to deliver, and has executed an assignment of, and delivered all of its right, title and interest in the Senior Participation. Upon the consummation of the Junior Participant Purchase Option, Senior Participant and Agent shall deliver the Senior Participation Certificate and all original Loan Documents and other applicable materials in their possession to Junior Participant.
9.4 Deferral of Change of Control While Purchase and Sale is Pending. Following delivery of the Junior Participant Purchase Option Notice and continuing until the Junior Participant Purchase Option Closing Date, the Loan shall continue to be serviced by Agent in accordance with this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices, and any pending transfer of the rights of Agent to Senior Participant on account of a Loss of Control Event shall be suspended until the Junior Participant Purchase Option Closing Date.
9.5 Exit Fee Payable Upon Exercise of Junior Participant Purchase Option. Subject to Section 5.6, on the Junior Participant Purchase Option Closing Date, concurrently with payment of the Junior Participant Purchase Option Price, Junior Participant shall also pay to Senior Participant the Exit Fee. However, Senior Participant shall waive the Exit Fee if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if a Loss of Control Event by application of Paragraph (a) of the definition thereof, has occurred and is continuing on the date of delivery of the Junior Participant Purchase Option Notice.
32
Section 10: CURE RIGHTS.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and upon notice from Agent (a “Cure Option Notice”) of the occurrence of such Event of Default (which notice the Agent shall promptly give to Senior Participant and Junior Participant upon receipt of knowledge thereof), Junior Participant shall have the right to cure such Event of Default (the “Cure Right”); provided, in the event that Junior Participant (the “Curing Participant”) has elected to cure any Event of Default, in order for the cure to be effective, the Event of Default must be cured by the Curing Participant within, in the case of an Event of Default with respect to a Scheduled Payment, ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such Cure Option Notice and, in the case of any other Event of Default, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Cure Option Notice (the “Cure Period”). If Junior Participant is attempting to cure a Non-Monetary Event of Default which is reasonably capable of cure by Junior Participant, the Cure Period may be extended for an additional sixty (60) days (for a total of up to ninety (90) days), but only for so long as (i) the Curing Participant is diligently and expeditiously attempting to cure such Non-Monetary Event of Default, (ii) the Borrower or the Curing Participant makes all Scheduled Payments that become due and payable during the Cure Period, (iii) such Non-Monetary Event of Default is not the result of a bankruptcy of the Borrower, and no bankruptcy with respect to the Borrower commences during the period that the Curing Participant is otherwise permitted to cure a Non-Monetary Event of Default in accordance with this Section and (iv) there is no material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of Property as a result of the Event of Default and the extension of the Cure Period. In the case of concurrent Monetary Events of Default and Non-Monetary Events of Default, if all Monetary Events of Default are timely cured by Borrower or Curing Participant, then at the request of the Curing Participant the Agent shall waive any then-existing Non-Monetary Events of Default that are not reasonably susceptible of cure by the Curing Participant (including missed deadlines and financial covenant defaults), provided that such uncured Non-Monetary Events of Default do not have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of Property or materially impair the security for the Loan. In the event that the Curing Participant elects to cure an Event of Default that can be cured by the payment of money (each such payment, a “Cure Payment”), the Curing Participant shall make such Cure Payment as directed by Agent and each such Cure Payment shall include all costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties and disbursements imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent and any interest charged thereon with respect to the Loan (but excluding any Default Interest) during the period of time from the expiration of the grace period for such Event of Default under the Loan until such Cure Payment is made. Agent shall distribute any Cure Payment in accordance with Section 5.2. The right of the Curing Participant to reimbursement of any Cure Payment shall be governed by Section 5.2 and Section 5.3. The commencement of a Continuing Event of Default shall be deemed deferred until the Cure Period has expired without a timely cure of the applicable Event of Default; provided that Junior Participant’s right to defer a Continuing Event of Default by making payments of Scheduled Payments shall be limited to five (5) consecutive Scheduled Payments and to six (6) Scheduled Payments in the aggregate during the life of the Loan. Unless and until an Event of Default has ripened into a Continuing Event of Default (after giving effect to the Cure Right herein), Agent shall not accelerate the Loan or commence any remedies to enforce the rights of Lender under the Loan or Loan Documents; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit Agent from sending notices of the Event of Default to the Borrower or any related guarantor, making demands on the related Borrower or any related guarantor, or assessing Late Charges or Default Interest against the Borrower.

If the other Participant fails to deliver its written determination within ten (10) Business Days of the request for consent, the transferor may provide a second written notice to the other Participant, clearly stating, in large, bold and otherwise conspicuous text, that should the other Participant fail to deliver its written determination within ten (10) Business Days, such failure shall be deemed consent to the proposed Transfer. If the other Participant does not then provide its written determination within such ten (10) Business Day period, such failure to respond shall be deemed to be the other Participant’s approval of the proposed Transfer.
14.7 Release from Liability. Upon consummation of a Transfer of an entire interest in a Participation that does not contravene the terms and conditions hereof, and upon assumption of the obligations hereunder by the transferee, the transferring Participant shall be deemed released from all obligations hereunder for the period after the effective date of the Transfer.
14.8 Registration of Transfers.
(i) Agent shall maintain a Participation Register. Any transfer of a Participation (but not a sub-participation) shall be recorded on the Participation Register. The Person in whose name a Participation is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder of the Participation for all purposes under this Agreement.
(ii) A permitted transferee of a Participation may obtain from Agent a replacement Certificate with respect to the Participation, issued in the name of the permitted transferee, upon surrender of the Certificate previously issued to the transferor.
Section 15: [RESERVED]
Section 16: AUTHORITY AND LIABILITIES OF THE AGENT.
16.1 Authority of Agent. Each Participant agrees that Agent, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 17), shall have the sole and exclusive authority (provided that it has obtained the consent of any Participant whose consent is required) with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Loan as representative of the Participants, including the sole and exclusive authority:
(i) to modify or waive any of the terms of the Loan Documents,
(ii) to consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any party to the Loan Documents,
38
(iii) to vote all claims with respect to the Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings,
(iv) to exercise the Lender’s right under the Loan Agreement to extend the Stated Maturity Date, and
(v) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Participants’ interests with respect to the Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or to waive any Events of Default, or to accelerate or to refrain from accelerating the Loan or institute and manage any foreclosure action or other enforcement action.
16.2 Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. Agent shall have no fiduciary duty to any Participant in connection with the administration of the Loan; but Agent shall have a contractual duty to act in accordance with this Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices. Such contractual duty shall be deemed assumed by Senior Participant if Senior Participant becomes the Agent on account of a Loss of Control Event.
16.3 Exclusive Right of Agent to Institute Loan Enforcement and Foreclosure Proceedings. Each Participant expressly and irrevocably waives for itself and any Person claiming through or under such Participant any and all rights that it may have under Section 1315 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law or the provisions of any similar law that purports to give the Participant a right to initiate any loan enforcement or foreclosure proceeding.
16.4 Limitation on Agent’s Liability; Agent’s Ability to Rely on Advice of Experts. Agent shall not be liable to any Participant with respect to anything the Agent may do or omit to do in relation to the Loan, other than as set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, acting on behalf of the Participants in accordance this Agreement, may rely on the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts (including those retained by the Borrower) and upon any written communication or telephone conversation which the Agent reasonably and in good faith believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.
Section 17: CONSULTATIONS AND MAJOR DECISIONS.
17.1 Consultations Between Agent and Participants. Agent shall consult with the Participants in good faith at any time (whether or not an Event of Default or Loss of Control Event has occurred) with respect to proposals to take any significant action with respect to the Loan or any REO Property (including any Major Decision) and shall consider in good faith any alternative proposal or recommendation by any Participant in connection therewith.
17.2 Major Decisions. Subject to Section 17.4, before consenting to or taking, as applicable, any of the actions described below (each, a “Major Decision”), the Agent shall be required (x) to notify the other Participant in writing of any proposal to take such action (unless such action was proposed in writing by the other Participant), and (y) to provide the other Participant with such information requested by the other Participant as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the other Participant in order to make an informed evaluation of the proposal. If the Agent is the Junior Participant, the Agent shall not consent to or take the Major Decision without the prior written approval of the Senior Participant. Such prior written approval may be withheld in Senior Participant’s sole discretion; except that if, under the Loan Documents or applicable law Agent is under a duty to Borrower not to unreasonably withhold consent or approval with respect to the proposed Major Decision, then Senior Participant shall be under an equivalent duty hereunder not to unreasonably withhold consent or approval. If the Agent is Senior Participant, then subject to Section 17.3, and provided that Junior Participant has been provided with notice, information, and consultation rights as provided in Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, Agent shall not be required to obtain the consent of Junior Participant before consenting to or taking the Major Decision (but Agent shall still be required to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices); except that Junior Participant’s consent shall continue to be required, even if Senior Participant has become the Agent, for any agreement that constitutes a permanent write-off of principal or the substantial equivalent thereof. Major Decision shall mean each of the following:
39
(i) Release or accept any substitution of collateral for the Loan, or approve of any transfer of any such collateral, other than in accordance with and as specifically permitted (without the Lender’s consent) by the terms of the Loan Documents, or upon full satisfaction of the Loan; except that Major Decision shall not include evaluating and approving Borrower’s requests for disbursement of funds from deposits, reserves, or escrows held or controlled by Agent.
(ii) Release of Borrower or any Borrower Related Party from liability under or with respect to the Loan, or modify, amend, release or waive rights or obligations under any guaranty provided in connection with the Loan.
(iii) Make any determination not to enforce a “due-on-sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause (unless such clause is not exercisable under applicable law or such exercise is reasonably likely to result in successful legal action by the Borrower.
(iv) Agree to or grant (A) any modification or waiver of a monetary term of the Loan or any modification of, or waiver with respect to, the Loan, (B) except for an extension agreement or forbearance agreement in either case not to exceed one (1) year beyond the Maturity Date, any change of the Maturity Date, (C) any reduction in the interest rate, Yield Maintenance Premium, or Exit Fee, (D) a deferral or a forgiveness of interest on or principal of the Loan, (E) other than extension agreements described above, any modification or waiver of any other monetary term of the Loan relating to the timing or amount of any payment of principal or interest or any other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, or (F) any modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan which restricts the Borrower or its equity owners from incurring additional indebtedness.
(v) Subject to the express rights (if any) of Borrower and Borrower Related Parties under the Loan Documents to do so without Lender’s consent, consent to any sale, transfer, pledge or assignment of the collateral for the Loan or of any controlling interest in Borrower.
40
(vi) Agree to any material changes to, or grant any waivers of any of, the insurance requirements pertaining to insurance required under the Loan Documents or the disposition of insurance or condemnation proceeds, or settle any material insurance claim.
(vii) Consent to any further encumbrance of the Collateral or incurrence of additional debt by Borrower (except as permitted by the Loan Agreement).
(viii) Exercise any offsets against collateral of Borrower or collateral for the Loan held by or under the control of Agent.

(xi) Make any determination to bring any collateral into compliance with environmental laws or otherwise deal with hazardous materials.
(xii) Agree to any modification of escrow or reserve requirements.
(xiii) Consent to or accept any cancellation or termination of any of the Loan Documents; agree to any transfer or termination of any instrument now or hereafter assigned as security for the Loan; or release, partially or fully, any collateral for the Loan, except in connection with the full repayment of the Loan or pursuant to the express terms of the Loan Documents.
(xiv) Increase the principal amount of the Loan except for (A) Loan Advances which Lender, pursuant to the Loan Documents, committed to make, (B) increases resulting from the assessment or accrual to the Loan Principal Balance of delinquent interest, Default Interest, Late Charges, or Costs chargeable to Borrower under the Loan Documents and applicable law and custom, and (C) Protective Advances to the extent permitted hereunder.
(xv) Amend any intercreditor, buy-sell, recognition or subordination agreement relating to the Loan (provided that, for clarification, this shall not be construed to apply to the Option Agreement).
(xvi) Approve any direct or indirect transfer of ownership or beneficial interest in Borrower, any assumption of the Loan or release of Borrower other than as expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents on the date hereof, or grant any consent to any material change in the Organizational Documents of Borrower other than changes expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents.
(xvii) Waive any condition to an advance of Loan proceeds (provided that, with respect to this Major Decision, Senior Participant’s approval shall be deemed given unless its objection is duly reserved in an Objection Narrative).
41
(xviii) Take any action or make any determination which is an REO Major Decision.
17.3 Action Notice for Major Decisions. Subject to Section 17.4, Agent shall notify in writing each Participant which must consent to a particular action pursuant to Section 17.2 or otherwise hereunder (such notice, an “Action Notice”). In the case of an Action Notice regarding a Major Decision, the Action Notice shall bear a legend, in large, bold and otherwise conspicuous text, identifying the notice as a request for consent to a Major Decision. If a Participant fails to notify the Agent of its approval or disapproval of any such proposed action within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to such Participant by Agent of the first Action Notice, then Agent may provide a second Action Notice to the Participant, clearly stating, in large, bold and otherwise conspicuous text, that should such Participant fail to notify the Agent of its approval or disapproval of such proposed action within ten (10) Business Days, such failure shall be deemed consent to the proposed action. If a Participant fails to notify the Agent of its approval or disapproval of any such proposed action within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to such Participant by Agent of the second Action Notice, then such action by the Agent shall be deemed to have been approved by the such Participant.
17.4 Restrictions on Powers of Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Agent shall not be bound by any advice, direction or objection from or by any Participant to the extent that Agent, in its reasonable good faith judgment, determines that such advice, direction, or objection, if followed, would require or cause Agent to violate any law of any applicable jurisdiction, would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, or would violate any other provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents.
Section 18: APPOINTMENT OF NEW AGENT FOLLOWING LOSS OF CONTROL EVENT; CONTROL RETENTION COLLATERAL
18.1 Required Control Appraisal. Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Event, Agent shall engage an appraiser to render an Appraisal of the Property. The appraiser shall be selected by Agent with the consent of both Participants. Thereafter, until sale of the REO Property or a Final Recovery Determination, unless waived by both Participants, not later than six (6) months after the effective date of the most recent Appraisal or Appraisal Update, Agent shall engage the same appraiser to render an Appraisal Update (except that at the request of either Participant, Agent shall engage a different appraiser who must be approved by both Participants, and the new appraiser shall render a new Appraisal). Each Appraisal and Appraisal Update shall be on an as “as-is” basis. The cost of each Appraisal and Appraisal Update shall be recoverable by Agent as a Cost.
18.2 Loss of Control Event. Within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of an Appraisal or Appraisal Update, the Agent shall notify the Participants whether a Loss of Control Event exists based on such Appraisal or Appraisal Update.
18.3 Second Opinion re Loss of Control Event. Upon the determination that a Loss of Control Event has occurred, Junior Participant shall have the right, for five (5) Business Days after such determination, to direct Agent to obtain a second Appraisal. The second Appraisal shall be rendered by a different appraiser approved by both Participants, at the sole expense of Junior Participant. The Participants shall jointly direct the approved appraiser to make commercially reasonable efforts to complete and deliver the second Appraisal within fifteen (15) Business Days from commencement of the engagement. If the Appraised Value of the Property determined by the second Appraisal does not differ from the Appraised Value indicated in the Appraisal or Appraisal Update used in determining the Loss of Control Event by more than 5%, the first Appraisal or Appraisal Update shall be utilized to determine the Loss of Control Event. If the Appraised Value of the Property determined by the second Appraisal differs from the Appraised Value indicated in the Appraisal or Appraisal Update used in determining the Loss of Control Event by more than 5%, the Agent shall direct the appraisers to jointly appoint a third Appraiser, at the expense of Junior Participant, to reconcile the differences between the Appraised Values determined under each Appraisal. The Participants shall jointly direct the third appraiser to make commercially reasonable efforts to complete its reconciliation within fifteen (15) Business Days from commencement of the engagement. The determination of such third Appraiser shall be the final and binding determination of the Appraised Value of the Property for purposes of determining the Loss of Control Event until the next Appraisal or Appraisal Update, if any, is ordered and received in accordance with the terms hereof. Until the Appraised Value has been determined in accordance with the second or third Appraisal, as applicable, the commencement of the Loss of Control Event shall be deferred.
42
18.4 Transfer of Agent Rights. Subject to Section 18.5, upon the commencement of a Loss of Control Event, Senior Participant shall have the right, upon demand, to assume the rights, responsibilities, and prerogatives of Agent hereunder. Such assumption shall be in writing, and Junior Participant, in its capacity as Agent, shall be released from all obligations and liabilities as Agent with respect to actions, events, or circumstances that first occur from and after the date that Senior Participant assumes in writing the rights, responsibilities, and prerogatives as Agent. Junior Participant shall cooperate in good faith with the transition.
18.5 Posting of Control Retention Collateral to Defer Loss of Control Event. Upon the final determination of a Loss of Control Event based on an Appraisal (after giving effect to the terms of Section 18.3), Junior Participant shall have the right to defer the Loss of Control Event by delivering to Senior Participant a Control Retention Guaranty that is secured by Control Retention Collateral. The Control Retention Collateral must be in an amount that would be sufficient to prevent the Loss of Control Event from occurring pursuant to the definition thereof. In order to be effective, the Control Retention Guaranty and the Control Retention Collateral must be delivered to Senior Participant within ten (10) Business Days after the final determination of the Loss of Control Event. Upon delivery of the Control Retention Guaranty and Control Retention Collateral, the Loss of Control Event shall be deferred until delivery of the next Appraisal or Appraisal Update, at which time the Agent, in consultation with the Participants, shall make a new determination whether a Loss of Control Event has occurred in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 18.
18.6 Restoration of Agent’s Rights to Junior Participant. At its request, Junior Participant shall be restored to the rights, prerogatives, and obligations of Agent if, based on a subsequent Appraisal or Appraisal Update and giving effect to the Control Retention Guaranty and Control Retention Collateral then held by Senior Participant, the Loss of Control Event is no longer continuing. In such event, Junior Participant shall have the right, upon demand, to assume the rights, responsibilities, and prerogatives of Agent hereunder. Such assumption shall be in writing, and Senior Participant, in its capacity as Agent, shall be released from all obligations and liabilities as Agent with respect to actions, events, or circumstances that first occur from and after the date that Junior Participant assumes in writing the rights, responsibilities, and prerogatives as Agent. Senior Participant shall cooperate in good faith with the transition.
43
18.7 Release of Excess Control Retention Collateral. If Junior Participant delivers a Control Retention Guaranty secured by Control Retention Collateral, and if the Participants determine in good faith, based on a subsequent Appraisal or Appraisal Update rendered in accordance with this Section 18 that the Control Retention Collateral exceeds the amount required to continue deferring a Loss of Control Event, Senior Participant shall release the excess Control Retention Collateral.
18.8 Application of Control Retention Collateral Upon Final Recovery Determination. Following a Final Recovery Determination and liquidation of all other collateral for the Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and distribution of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, the Control Retention Collateral shall be liquidated and the proceeds thereof shall be distributed as Available Funds in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3.
Section 19: CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE AGENT.
19.1 Certain Rights of Agent.
(i) The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice or consent delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement that Agent believed reasonably and in good faith to be genuine.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (i) shall not excuse Agent of any liability arising from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 20: MISCELLANEOUS
20.1 No Pledge or Loan. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Loan by the Senior Participant to the Junior Participant, or a loan from the Senior Participant to the Junior Participant. The transfer of the Senior Participation is intended to be a true sale and not a financing. The Participants shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for the Loan; provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in reduction of the Loan Principal Balance, then each Participant shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Participants acknowledge and agree that the Loan represents a single “claim” under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that neither Participant shall be a separate creditor of the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code.
44
20.2 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 arrangement between the Participants of a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

No Participant shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the other Participant any notes or participation interests in any future loans originated by the other Participant or any of its Affiliates.
20.3 Other Business Activities of the Participants. Each Participant acknowledges that the other Participant may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower Related Party and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Borrower Related Parties, and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.
20.4 Not a Security. No Participation shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
20.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(i) This agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of law).
(ii) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this agreement and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this agreement, each party hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts for any such action or proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this agreement brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives the right, and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Participant to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against mortgage borrower in any other jurisdiction.
45
20.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party to this agreement hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this agreement.
20.7 Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
20.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (including by electronic transmission of a signed signature page via fax machine or scanned file in PDF format) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
20.9 Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.
20.10 Notices.
(i) All notices required hereunder shall be given in writing and addressed to the respective parties as set forth on the Exhibit C (or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid) by:
(A) personal delivery;

A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 21.10 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.
20.11 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
20.12 Withholding Taxes.
(i) If Borrower, Agent, or any other Person having control of funds payable to a Participant (a “Withholding Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Participant (the “Non-Exempt Participant”) with respect to the Loan as a result of such Participant constituting a Non-Exempt Person (or failing to provide to any Withholding Agent satisfactory evidence that it is not a Non-Exempt Person, in whole or in part), the Withholding Agent shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Exempt Participant’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to the Non-Exempt Participant); provided that the Withholding Agent shall furnish the Non-Exempt Participant 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 the Non-Exempt Participant to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Non-Exempt Participant is subject to tax.
(ii) The Non-Exempt Participant shall and hereby agrees to indemnify any Withholding Agent against and hold such Withholding Agent harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Withholding Agent to withhold Taxes from payment made to the Non-Exempt Participant in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by the Non-Exempt Participant to a Withholding Agent, it being expressly understood and agreed that:
(A) The Withholding Agent 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
47
(B) The Non-Exempt Participant shall, upon request of the Withholding Agent and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Withholding Agent.
(iii) Each Participant that claims exemption (in whole or in part) from withholding of U.S. income tax represents to the other Participant (for the benefit of the Borrower and Agent) that it is not a Non Exempt Person (to the extent of its claimed exemption) and that neither the Borrower nor Agent nor any other Person is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that it claims an exemption. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Participant shall deliver to the Agent, or such other Person as shall be making distributions to the Participant’s hereunder, evidence satisfactory to such Person substantiating that it is not a Non Exempt Person (to the extent of its claim of exemption) and that the Withholding Agent is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it (to the extent of its claim of exemption) with respect to the Loan or otherwise under this Agreement.
(iv) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Participant 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 Servicer or such other Person as shall be making distributions hereunder an Internal Revenue Service Form W 9 and (ii) if the Participant is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, the Participant shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Servicer or other Person making distributions hereunder Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI or Form W 8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Participant, as evidence of the Participant’s whole or partial exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. No Person shall be obligated to make any payment hereunder to any Participant in respect of its Participation or otherwise until the Participant shall have furnished to such Person the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.
(v) The Agent shall treat any Participant that does not satisfy the requirements set forth herein as a Non-Exempt Participant.
