(a) From and after the date hereof and prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Interim Servicer shall administer and service the Mortgage Loan consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Interim Servicing Agreement, the Loan Documents, Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law.
(b) From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, provided that:
(i) except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of any Note B Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be materially impaired compared to the rights and remedies of such Note B Holder set forth herein (and the obligations of any Note B Holder under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be materially increased compared to the obligations of such Note B Holder set forth herein),
(ii) the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may differ from this Agreement to the extent requested by the Rating Agencies, the subordinate bond buyers or any of the other parties thereto and necessary in order that each Initial Holder and its Affiliates obtain accounting “sale” treatment for its respective Note under FAS 140, provided that, in all cases, any such differences between this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not have a material adverse effect on any of the rights, remedies or protections granted to the Holders under this Agreement (without giving effect to any provision of this Agreement which states that a term shall have “the meaning assigned to such term in the Servicing Agreement,” or be “subject to the Servicing Agreement” or similar phrases),
(iii) from and after the Lead Securitization Date, such Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be modified in any manner materially adverse to a Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder, and
(iv) the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall contain terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 40(c) of this Agreement and such additional provisions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (A) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of any Securitization Trust, (B) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (C) generally required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the issuance of ratings in securitizations similar to the Lead Securitization.

Principal Balances of the A Notes pro rata (based on their respective outstanding Note Principal Balances) (in each case, not below zero) by any Realized Loss with respect to the Mortgage Loan.
(d) In consideration for servicing the Mortgage Loan (inclusive of each Note) a servicing fee shall accrue at a rate not to exceed the applicable Servicing Fee Rate on the sum of the outstanding Note A Principal Balance of the Lead Securitization A Notes and the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the outstanding Note B Principal Balance, as applicable (the “Servicing Fee”). The Servicing Fee shall be paid on the same interest accrual basis and for the same period of time for which interest is paid on the Mortgage Loan, and shall be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5 and Section 6.
(e) In consideration for special servicing the Mortgage Loan (inclusive of each Note) a special servicing fee shall accrue at a rate not to exceed the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the sum of the outstanding Note A Principal Balance and the outstanding Note B Principal Balance (the “Special Servicing Fee”).

The Holders acknowledge that pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Servicers may be entitled to receive Additional Servicing Compensation. To the extent any such Additional Servicing Compensation is actually received by a Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, such Servicer shall be entitled to retain the same. In no event, however, shall any amounts relating to Additional Servicing Compensation that are not otherwise actually received by a Servicer (or its subservicer) be deducted from any distributions to any Holder pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6, as applicable.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if each of the Lead Securitization Notes ceases to be an asset of the Lead Securitization Trust, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply in their entirety, and each Holder hereby agrees that the Mortgage Loan shall be serviced pursuant to this Agreement. In such event, all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” and to “from and after the Lead Securitization Date” and any ancillary provisions relating thereto shall be deemed to be inoperative and of no further force and effect; provided, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan under this Agreement shall be performed by a successor Master Servicer appointed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder and a successor Special Servicer shall be appointed by the Controlling Holder, both of which replacement Servicers shall be Qualified Servicers and shall be reasonably acceptable to each of the Holders; provided, further, that until a replacement servicing agreement, if necessary, has been entered into, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as if such agreement were still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, by the Servicer in the Lead Securitization or by any Person appointed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder that is a “qualified servicer” meeting the requirements of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that such servicer shall have no obligation to make P&I Advances or Administrative Advances. Any such entity acting as a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence will be required to perform such servicing in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the provisions of this Agreement.

(h) 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (notice of which shall be given by the related Holder to the other Holders within three (3) Business Days of the “startup day”, within the meaning of Section 860(G)(a)(9) of the Code, of the related REMIC), then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that each Note qualifies at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the 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 interests of the Holders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) the related Holder may not modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the related Holder may have under the 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 Stated Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the related Note (or any portion of such Note). The Holders agree that the provisions of this Section 4(h) shall be effected by compliance by the related Holder or its assignee with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or such Xxxxxx’s interest therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 4(h), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by the Holders.

(xv) fifteenth, any excess amount not otherwise applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) through (xiv) of this Section 6 will be distributed pro rata to the Holders in accordance with their respective initial Percentage Interests set forth in the Loan Schedule.
If any Note (or portion thereof) has been defeased, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 will apply only to the non-defeased Notes (or portions thereof). Any Note (or portion thereof) that has been defeased will be repaid solely from the proceeds of the related defeasance collateral.
To the extent that the Borrower pays any Servicing Fees pursuant to the Loan Agreement or any modification or amendment thereof, such fees shall be applied to the payment of the Servicing Fee or the Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee and Liquidation Fee, as applicable, pursuant to clause (iii) above, and the amounts paid on account of interest to the Holders under clauses (iv) and (v) above for the applicable Remittance Date shall be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding clause (xiv) above, to the extent that the Borrower actually pays any assumption fees, such assumption fees otherwise allocable to the Holders instead shall be payable as Additional Servicing Compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
(b) Following any period during which the terms of this Section 6 are in effect, in the event that the Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan, or if the applicable Triggering Event of Default is no longer existing, or if the Mortgage Loan is restructured in connection with a workout such that the Mortgage Loan is no longer a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and, as restructured, is transferred back to the Servicer and the applicable Triggering Event of Default is no longer continuing, then the terms of Section 5 hereof shall again be in effect, subject, however, to the terms of Section 7 hereof.
7. Workout. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and Section 20 and Section 21 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, if any applicable Servicer in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Loan Interest Rate (or the Note Interest Rate for any Note) is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on the Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred (other than due solely to an extension of the Maturity Date (that is not a forbearance) pursuant to an executed extension agreement between Lender and the Borrower, so long as no other modification under this Section 7 has occurred), or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to each Note A Holder pursuant to Section 5 and Section 6, as applicable, shall be made as though such workout did not occur, with the payment terms of Note A remaining the same as they are on the Closing Date, 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, pro rata by the Note B Holders (which shall be allocated to the corresponding Components in Reverse Sequential Order, pro rata based on their respective outstanding Component Principal Balances), and second, pro rata by the Note A Holders (in each case up to the Note Principal Balance of the related A Note, together with accrued interest thereon at the related Note Interest Rate, and any other amounts due to such Note A Holder). If the Property shall become an REO Property, the same shall be acquired, managed and operated in substantially the manner provided in the Servicing Agreement, and the priority of distributions among the Note A Holder and the Note B Holder shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of Section 6 that would be applicable following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event of Default (whether or not the applicable Loan Documents then remain in effect), with
| 31 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
distributions on account of scheduled interest payments being deemed to be Assumed Scheduled Payments (as such term shall be defined in the Servicing Agreement) for such purpose.
(b) For purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Holder (and not for any other purpose, including purposes of calculations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 hereof), Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts shall be allocated first, to reduce the Note Principal Balances of the B Notes (which shall be allocated to the corresponding Components in Reverse Sequential Order, pro rata based on their respective outstanding Component Principal Balances), pro rata, and then, to reduce the Note Principal Balances of the A Notes, pro rata. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall notify the Holders in writing of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts and Collateral Deficiency Amounts calculated with respect to the Mortgage Loan and any allocation thereof to notionally reduce the Note Principal Balances of any Note.
8. Collection Accounts; Payment Procedure. (a) Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Servicer to establish and maintain the Collection Account. Each of the Holders hereby directs the Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5 and Section 6, as applicable, and subject to the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account (x) for deposit or credit on the Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to each A Note and B Note, by wire transfer to accounts maintained by each Holder and designated to the Servicer in writing; provided that delinquent payments received by the Servicer after the related Remittance Date shall be remitted by the Servicer to such accounts no later than the business day after the Determination Date (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement); and (y) for such other purposes and at such times as specified in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.
(b) If any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of any Note 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 Borrower or paid to any Holder, any Servicer or any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, such Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Holder of such Note, and such Holder, shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the related Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, the Holders, any other Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto, or, if the amount in question had been advanced by the Servicer, then with interest thereon at the Advance Rate. Each 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 will promptly remit such excess to the Servicer. The Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any Holder, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Holder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of each Holder under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another, and in no event shall any Servicer be permitted or required under the Servicing Agreement to enforce the obligations of any Holder against the other Holders. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of these provisions.

(b) From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Servicer and/or the Trustee shall be obligated to make Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and the right of such party to reimbursement for any such Property Advances and interest thereon will be prior to the rights of the Holders to receive any distributions or amounts recovered with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Property to the extent provided in this Agreement.
(c) If any party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement makes a P&I Advance in respect of any Note, such P&I Advance and any interest accrued thereon shall be reimbursable to such advancing party solely as provided under the terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
(d) The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that Penalty Charges and any interest accrued at the Note Default Interest Rate on the Loan Principal Balance that is in excess of interest accrued on the Loan Principal Balance at the Loan Interest Rate, in either case to the extent actually paid by the Borrower, shall be applied by the Master Servicer (prior to allocation to the Holders under Section 5 or Section 6) for following purposes:
(i) first, (A) to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for each Holder’s pro rata share of any interest accrued on any Property Advances and reimbursement of any Property Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; (B) to pay the Master Servicer or the Trustee or the master servicers or trustees under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement the amount, if any, of interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to any Note by such party; and (C) to pay the Master Servicer or the Trustee for each Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of interest accrued on any Administrative Advances and reimbursement of any Administrative Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and

(e) The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may also provide that (i) any Penalty Charges and any interest accrued at the Note Default Interest Rate that has been allocated pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 to the Notes included in such Lead Securitization be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as Additional Servicing Compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) following a Non-Lead Securitization, any Penalty Charges and any interest
| 33 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |

10. Limitation on Liability. Neither the Note A Holders nor any Servicer acting on its behalf shall have any liability to the Note B Holder with respect to a B 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 A Holder or the Servicer. The Note B Holder shall have no liability to any Note A Holder with respect to its respective A Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of the Note B Holder.
11. Purchase of A Notes by the Note B Holder; Note B Holder Cure Rights.
Prior to the Lead Securitization Date or if each B Note is no longer included in the Lead Securitization Trust, the provisions of this Section 11 shall apply. In addition, if any B Note is included in the Lead Securitization Trust, the provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply.

| 34 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
the power and authority to sell and deliver its respective A Note) for the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, on a date (the “Repurchase Date”) not less than five (5) Business Days nor more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the Note B Holder Repurchase Notice (other than as provided in the immediately preceding clause (b) with respect to a Note B Holder Repurchase Notice based on a Notice of Foreclosure/DIL), as shall be designated by the applicable Note B Holders and reasonably acceptable to each Note A Holder. The Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Servicer three (3) Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date (and such calculation shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation explaining how such price was determined). The right of a Note B Holder to exercise its purchase option hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the Purchase Right Cut-Off Date, subject to the possibility that such right will be reinstated if a Triggering Event of Default subsequently occurs. Upon the consummation of the purchase option contemplated by this Section 11(a), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) shall deliver all original Loan Documents and other applicable materials in its possession to the applicable Note B Holder or its designee. The foregoing rights of the Note B Holders shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have to purchase each A Note pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either of the Borrower or any Borrower Related Party is a Note B Holder (or holds a majority interest in a B Note), such Note B Holder shall not have the right to exercise the purchase option set forth in this Section 11(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, during the period in which any portion of the Mortgage Loan is subject to purchase by Note B Holder pursuant to this Section, the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be serviced by the applicable Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(b) Cure Rights. In the event any monetary default beyond applicable notice and grace periods or non-monetary default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall exist with respect to the Mortgage Loan, then, upon notice from the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) (a “Cure Option Notice”) of the occurrence of such default beyond applicable notice and grace periods (which notice the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall promptly give to the Note B Holder upon receipt of knowledge thereof), each Note B Holder shall have the right, exercisable by each Note B Holder giving written notice of its intent to cure a default within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Cure Option Notice, to cure such default (and if any Note B Holders provide such notice, then such Note B Holders collectively, on a pro rata basis shall have the right to cure such default); provided, in the event a Note B Holder has elected to cure any default, the default must be cured by such Note B Holder within, in the case of a monetary default, ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Cure Option Notice and, in the case of a non-monetary default, thirty (30) days after receipt of such Cure Option Notice. If a Note B Holder is attempting to cure a non-monetary default, the foregoing cure period of thirty (30) days 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) such Note B Holder is diligently and expeditiously proceeding to cure such non-monetary default, (ii) such Note B Holder makes all Cure Payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with this Section, (iii) such non-monetary default is not the result of a bankruptcy of the Borrower or other insolvency related event, and no bankruptcy commences or other insolvency related event occurs during the period that such Note B Holder is otherwise permitted to cure a non-monetary default in accordance with this Section and (iv) there is no material adverse effect on the Borrower, the Property or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such non-monetary default or the attempted cure thereof.
If a Note B Holder elects to cure a default that can be cured by the payment of money (each such payment, a “Cure Payment”), such Note B Holder shall make such Cure Payment as directed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) and each such Cure Payment shall include all costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each Note A Holder (including, without limitation, all unreimbursed Advances
| 35 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
(without regard to whether such Advance would be a “nonrecoverable advance”) and any interest charged thereon at the Advance Rate, and any unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to the Mortgage Loan, but excluding any default interest and Penalty Charges) related to the default and incurred during the period of time from the expiration of the grace period for such default under the Mortgage Loan until such Cure Payment is made or such other cure is otherwise effected.
The right of a Note B Holder to reimbursement of any Cure Payment shall be as set forth in Section 5 and Section 6, as applicable. So long as a default exists that is being cured by a Note B Holder pursuant to this Section 11(b) and the cure period has not expired and such Note B Holder is permitted to cure under the terms of this Section 11(b), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) and the Trustee shall not treat such default as a default or a Triggering Event of Default (i) for purposes of Section 5 or Section 6; (ii) for purposes of accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the 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 Property; or (iii) for purposes of treating the Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that such limitations shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) or the Trustee from sending notices of the default to the Borrower or any related guarantor or making demands on the Borrower or any related guarantor or from collecting default interest or late payment charges from the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11(b), (A) a Note B Holder’s right to cure a monetary default or non-monetary default shall be limited to six (6) Cure Events over the life of the Mortgage Loan and (B) no single Cure Event may exceed four (4) consecutive months. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that if a single Event of Default is cured for four consecutive months, that same Event of Default may not be cured in the succeeding (fifth) month, a Note B Holder would be permitted to cure a different Event of Default in such succeeding (fifth) month. As used herein, “Cure Event” means a Note B Holder’s exercise of cure rights, whether for one (1) month or for consecutive months in the aggregate (and, in such case, such cure for such consecutive months shall constitute one (1) Cure Event). Cure Events in addition to the number of Cure Events permitted under this Section 11(b) shall only be permitted with the consent of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) or, at any time that the Mortgage Loan is included in the Lead Securitization, the Special Servicer.

None of the provisions of this Section 18(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization Notes together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (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 Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), 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, or (3) the Transfer of any securities issued by a Securitization Trust.
(b) In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such 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 Holder in connection with such 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 Holder had not sold such participation interest.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such 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 applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 18(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a 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 Holder to each other Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to each other 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 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 Holder; (v) that such other 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 Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging 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 Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Holder on account of such other Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any
| 40 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging 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 Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging 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 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 18(c) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such 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 Holder then such 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 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 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 Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the Pledge of such 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 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.
19. Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each of the Holders acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Borrower (“Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to the 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. Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer.
| 41 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
(a) Each of the Holders acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, the Controlling Holder’s rights under Section 21 hereof) and the Servicing Agreement, (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee (if any) on its behalf) may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights that such Lead Securitization Note Holder (or such Servicer or Trustee (if any)) may have hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the other Holders, so long as such actions are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to the other Holders as a result of such Lead Securitization Note Holder’s (or any Servicer’s or Trustee’s) exercise of such rights or any omission by such Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee) to exercise such rights, except as expressly provided herein or for acts or omissions that are taken or omitted to be taken by such Lead Securitization Note Holder that constitute the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lead Securitization Note Holder or a breach of this Agreement, and (iii) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) service and administer the Mortgage Loan on behalf of each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder (as a collective whole) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder; but in all cases giving due consideration to the fact that each B Note is subject and subordinate to each A Note in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder agree that the Servicer, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 21) and from and after the Lead Securitization Date subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, shall have the sole and exclusive authority (in each case, subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the rights of any Controlling Holder) with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, 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, (iii) to vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action and in all cases acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the other Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s or Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has (i) to declare or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Servicer to declare an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan (ii) to exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower or (iii) to vote any claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including claims arising from any one or more Notes) in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding of the Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. Except when acting in the capacity of trustee or paying agent, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of such Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to the other Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan but shall in all events be obligated to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Holder expressly and irrevocably waives for itself and any Person claiming through or under such Holder 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 a junior
| 42 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
noteholder, mortgagee or loan participant the right to initiate any loan enforcement or foreclosure proceedings.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) of its rights under this Section 20 shall be subject in all respects to any sections of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action which would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Loan Documents, violate Accepted Servicing Practices or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or cause the arrangement evidenced hereby not to be treated as a “grantor trust” for Federal income tax purposes. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall exercise such rights and powers described in this Section 20 on the understanding that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall administer the Mortgage Loan in a manner consistent with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, provided that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf shall be liable to the other Holders with respect to anything the Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) may do or omit to do in relation to the Mortgage Loan, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf 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 Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.
(c) If title to the Property is acquired for the benefit of the Holders in foreclosure, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its nominee (which shall not include any Servicer) on behalf of the Holders. The Servicer, on behalf of the Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property utilizing reasonable best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to maximize the proceeds of such disposal to the Holders (as a collective whole) if and when such Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disposal would be in the best economic interest of the Holders (as a collective whole). The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(d) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement (including the rights of the Controlling Holder), to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as such Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Holders (as a collective whole) and, in connection therewith, such Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable to the Holders. The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”). The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within two Business Days after receipt all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be remitted to the Collection Account), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Costs with respect to such REO Property, including:
| 43 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) all ground rents in respect of any REO Property;
(iv) all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property; and
(v) to the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Holders of the necessity to take actions pursuant to this clause (d), any expenditure associated with such actions taken by the Servicer shall be payable by the Holders at their option pursuant to Section 9.
(e) The Servicer shall contract with an independent contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Holders and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within forty-five (45) days after the Holders’ acquisition thereof (unless the Holders approve otherwise), provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the independent contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof by such independent contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this clause (d) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such independent contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Holders or the Lead Securitization Note Holder on behalf of the Holders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
(f) The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any independent contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of such Servicer by such independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. When and as necessary, the Servicer shall send to the Holders a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting rents in respect of, any REO Property.

| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
(g) With respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, which the Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall deliver to the Holders an officers’ certificate to the effect that, the Servicer has determined to sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with this clause (g). The Servicer may then offer to sell to any Person the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which is in default or the REO Property (and shall on a monthly basis advise the Holders in writing of the status of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property) or, subject to the following sentence, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (in each case at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), but shall, in any event, so offer to sell the REO Property no later than the time determined by the Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of the REO Property within the period specified in the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall deliver such officers’ certificate and give the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in which case the Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.
(h) In the absence of any such offer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or purchase by the Servicer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, such Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such Servicer to be a fair price for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer, if the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer is not an offeror) shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the Holders, an Appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a fair price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Borrower nor any Borrower Related Party may make an offer or purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property pursuant hereto.
(i) The Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole. In addition, the Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable), provided that the offeror is not the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer shall in no event sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property other than for cash.
(j) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 20, the Servicer shall act on behalf of the Holders in negotiating and taking other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, any Servicer or any Holder, and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to any Holders with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Servicer.
(k) The proceeds of any sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property after deduction of the direct out-of-pocket expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day (or, if received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, two (2) Business Days) following receipt of properly identified funds, deposited in the Collection
| 45 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
Account. Within thirty (30) days after the sale of the REO Property, the Servicer shall provide to the Holders a statement of accounting for the REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (ii) the gross sales price, the selling and other expenses and the net sales price, (iii) accrued interest on the Note A Principal Balance at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each A Note, and on the Note B Principal Balance at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each B Note, in each case calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (iv) such other information as the Holders may reasonably request. The Servicer shall file information returns regarding the abandonment or foreclosure of Property with the Internal Revenue Service at the time and in the manner required by the Code.
(l) The provisions of clauses (c) through (k) of this Section 20 shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall control.
21. Certain Powers of the Controlling Holder.
This Section 21 shall apply during the term of this Agreement; provided that from and after the Lead Securitization Date, (y) Section 21(c) and (d) shall be of no further force and effect and the analogous provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall control, and (z) Section 21(j), (k) and (l) shall be of no further force and effect.
The following provisions shall apply during the term of this Agreement:
(a) The Controlling Holder shall be entitled to appoint (or act as) a “directing lender” (the “Directing Holder”) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder and the Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement (such designation to be made by written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf)); provided, that if the Borrower or any Borrower Related Party owns any portion of a B Note, the ownership interests of such Person shall be deemed to equal zero for the purposes of determining which owners can vote to elect the Directing Holder, and provided, further, that in no event may the Borrower or any Borrower Related Party serve as the Directing Holder. Subject to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, such designation shall remain in effect until it is revoked by the Controlling Holder by a writing delivered to each of the other parties hereto.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 21(d)), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, prior to taking any Major Decision, be required to notify in writing the Directing Holder of any proposal to take any of such actions (and to provide the Directing Holder with such information requested by such Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of such Directing Holder in order to make a judgment) and to receive the written approval of the Directing Holder (which approval may be withheld in its sole discretion);
(c) If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Directing Holder by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of written notice (“Action Notice”) of such a Major Decision (which notice shall contain a legend, in capitalized, bold-faced type containing the following statement as the top of the first page: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR MAJOR DECISION APPROVAL. IF THE DIRECTING HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED MAJOR ACTION WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, SUCH MAJOR DECISION WILL BE DEEMED APPROVED BY THE DIRECTING HOLDER”) together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b) or this Section 21(c), then if the Directing Holder fails to approve or reject the Major Decision within such ten (10)
| 46 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
Business Day period, the Directing Holder’s approval will be deemed to have been given for such Major Decision (provided, that if the Directing Holder has failed to notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the related Action Notice together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b) or this Section 21(c), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) will be required to promptly provide to the Directing Holder a second Action Notice bearing the same legend as the first Action Notice). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts funded by any Holder under the Loan Documents as a result of (i) the making of any protective Advances or (ii) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest) with respect to the Notes shall not at any time be deemed to require prior notice to the Directing Holder (except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement) or otherwise contravene this subsection. To the extent the Borrower requests or the Servicer or Special Servicer structures, as part of a workout or otherwise, an extension of the Mortgage Loan for two or more years beyond the Maturity Date, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the same manner as the Directing Holder) in addition to the consent of the Directing Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(c) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.
(d) With respect to any proposed action requiring consultation with or approval of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall prepare a summary of such proposed action and an analysis of whether or not such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth the basis on which the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) made such determination, and shall promptly provide to each Holder copies of such summary and any other material documents and items reasonably necessary to make such determination by hard copy or electronic means on a timely basis. If any such proposed action is disapproved by the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall propose an alternate action (based on any counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder, to the extent such counter-proposal is consistent with Section 21(d) or, if no such counter-proposal is received by the Servicer when the disapproval of the Directing Holder is delivered to the Servicer, then based on any alternate course of action that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) may deem appropriate) until the approval of the Directing Holder is obtained; provided that if the Servicer and Directing Holder do not agree on a proposed course of action within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Servicer first proposed a course of action and the counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder would, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, be permitted to be ignored by the Special Servicer in accordance with clause (f) below), then after giving due consideration (subject to Section 21(d) hereof) to the alternatives and counterproposals, if any, provided by the Directing Holder the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall take such action as it deems appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) at a time earlier than the time that such Servicer would otherwise be entitled to take such action pursuant to this Section 21(d) or otherwise under this Agreement and (ii) such action requires consultation with and/or consent of the Directing Holder, then it shall contact the Directing Holder (by telephone, email or fax) promptly and shall discuss (unless the Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder, as applicable, shall fail to respond in a reasonable time frame under the circumstances) the proposed action with such Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder, as applicable, and, if the consent of the Directing Holder would ordinarily be required, attempt to reach agreement within the revised time frame prior to taking the proposed action, but shall be entitled to take the necessary emergency action within the necessary time frame regardless of whether it has been able to contact or obtained the agreement of the Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder. If such emergency action is taken, the Lead
| 47 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) will promptly notify the Directing Holder of the action so taken, the Servicer’s reasons for determining that immediate action was necessary and how the action differs from the proposed actions, if any, that had theretofore been approved by the Directing Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(d) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.
(e) The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Holder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Directing Holder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Directing Holder, and the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Controlling Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Holder by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Holder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) may make any Major Decision before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the Property or the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole).
In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by this Section 21, or no advice, direction or objection, if any, from or by any Non-Controlling Holder, may (and the related Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Holder (or Servicer on its behalf) has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (i) require or cause such Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to violate applicable law, the terms of the Loan Documents or any section of this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, including such Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (ii) result in the imposition of federal income tax on any Securitization Trust, cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, (iii) expose any Securitization Trust, any certificateholder of any related Securitization, the Depositor or the depositor of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Holders, the Servicer, the Trustee or the trustee of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator or any certificate administrator of any Non-Lead Securitization, the operating advisor of any Non-Lead Securitization or their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability or (iv) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.

(g) No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall owe any fiduciary duty to the trustee, any servicer, any special servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization or the other Holders. No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall have any liability to any of the trustee, any servicer, any special servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization or the other Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent. Each Holder (by acceptance of its Note) acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may each have relationships and interests that conflict with those of certificateholders in any Securitization and/or the other Holders; (ii) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may act solely in their respective interests; (iii) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder do not have any duties to any Securitization Trust, the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders; (iv) each of the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may take actions that favor interests of itself over the interests of the certificateholders in any Securitization and/or the other Holders; (v) neither the Controlling Holder nor the Directing Holder will have any liability whatsoever to any Securitization Trust, any party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, any party to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders or any other person (including the Borrowers) for having acted in accordance with or as permitted under the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this paragraph; and (vi) the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders may not take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Holder or the Directing Holder or any of the respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals thereof as a result of the Controlling Holder or the Directing Holder having acted in accordance with the terms of and as permitted under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this paragraph.
(h) The Controlling Holder 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 such replacement Special Servicer shall be a Qualified Servicer in accordance with this Section 21(h). The Controlling Holder shall designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the Non-Controlling Holders, the Servicer and the then existing Special Servicer a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), and by delivering to Holder that is a Non-Lead Securitization a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued in such Non-Lead Securitization. The Controlling Holder shall promptly pay any expenses incurred by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) in connection with such replacement. The Controlling 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 21(h). The fees payable to any replacement Special Servicer contemplated in this Section 21(h) at any time, from and after the Lead Securitization, when the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect, shall be at then market rates for such services. Upon the occurrence of the Lead Securitization governing the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, the initial Special Servicer designated in the applicable Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer. If a Special Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects the Non-Controlling Holder, the Non-Controlling Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization, the Controlling Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Controlling Holder and the Non-Controlling Holder acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at the Non-Controlling Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Holder. From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the termination and replacement of the Special Servicer shall be governed by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

(i) [Reserved].
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by a Note B Holder of notice indicating that such Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder, such Note B Holder may, at its option, post with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or, if a Securitization has occurred, with the applicable Master Servicer, Special Servicer, or Trustee) (i) cash collateral for the benefit of, and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or (ii) a Letter of Credit (in each case, if there has been a Securitization, together with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Securitization in such collateral) (to be held by Lead Securitization Note Holder in a segregated securities account solely and exclusively in the name of each Note A Holder, meeting the Rating Agency criteria for an “eligible account” on behalf of each Note A Holder) in an amount which, when added to and for this purpose considered a part of the appraised value of the Property, will cause the related Note B Holder to remain the Controlling Holder (such cash or Letter of Credit, “Reserve Collateral”). The applicable Note B Holder may make such election upon written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder of its intention to post Reserve Collateral, and upon notifying Lead Securitization Note Holder of such intention, such Note B Holder shall post such Reserve Collateral as quickly as practicable (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of the above notice) by delivering such Reserve Collateral to Lead Securitization Note Holder. The applicable Note B Holder shall grant to and create in favor of each Note A Holder a first priority perfected pledge and security interest in the Reserve Collateral in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lead Securitization Note Holder. Lead Securitization Note Holder will require an opinion, in form and substance and from counsel reasonably acceptable to Lead Securitization Note Holder, regarding the validity, perfection and priority of each Note A Holder’s interest in any Reserve Collateral. In addition, the applicable Note B Holder shall pay or cause to be paid any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Note A Holder (and any servicing party on its behalf) associated with the delivery and/or pledge of such Reserve Collateral, including the costs and expenses of any opinion of counsel. Upon the posting of such Reserve Collateral and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth above, the applicable Note B Holder shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the Controlling Holder hereunder; provided, however, that such posting of such collateral and such satisfaction of conditions shall not prevent such Note B Holder from losing its status as the Controlling Holder again (provided that such collateral shall be taken into account in determining the Property’s value when calculating whether such Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder), in which event the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not again apply and such Note B Holder shall not again be entitled to post Reserve Collateral. Any Reserve Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) shall be beneficially owned by such Note B Holder, who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The provisions of this Section 21(j) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.
(k) Following a Final Recovery Determination (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and application of all proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the Property or any REO Property, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall be entitled to draw on or liquidate the Reserve Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to reimburse each Note A Holder for any Trust Fund Expense or Realized Loss borne or experienced by each Note A Holder, plus interest thereon from the date such Trust Fund Expenses or Realized Loss was borne or experienced to the date of reimbursement. Within ten (10) Business Days following such Final Recovery Determination and application, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall pay any remaining portion of such proceeds of the Reserve Collateral to the Note B Holder (which shall be allocated to the corresponding Components in Sequential Order, pro rata based on their respective
| 50 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
outstanding Component Principal Balances). The provisions of this Section 21(k) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.
(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Letter of Credit is posted as Reserve Collateral, then the related Note B Holder shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank in form and substance satisfactory to Lead Securitization Note Holder and each of such Rating Agencies (i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the expiration of the delivered Letter of Credit, and (ii) if the issuer of such Letter of Credit is at any time not an Approved Bank, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from Lead Securitization Note Holder to such effect. If the related Note B Holder does not affect such a replacement within the periods set forth in the preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be entitled immediately thereupon to draw on such Letter of Credit to the full extent of the amount then remaining available thereunder, in which case Lead Securitization Note Holder shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Reserve Collateral and shall be entitled to hold and apply such Reserve Collateral in the manner and for the purposes otherwise set forth above and below. The provisions of this Section 21(l) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.
22. Further Assurances. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that each Holder may sell all or any portion of its respective Note, subject to the rights of the other Holders and the terms of this Agreement, and the related Loan Documents in connection with the related Securitization. At the request and at the sole cost and expense of a requesting Holder, and to the extent not already required to be provided by the other Holders under this Agreement, each Holder shall reasonably cooperate with such requesting Holder and take such steps as may be reasonably required by such requesting Holder or any Rating Agency in order to satisfy the market standards to which the requesting Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the related Securitization. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, each Holder’s agreement to:
(a) execute such amendments to this Agreement as may be requested by the requesting Holder or the Rating Agencies to effect the related Securitization, provided that no such amendments shall materially and adversely affect any of the rights or remedies granted to any Note A Holder or Note B Holder hereunder (including, without limitation, the timing and amount of payment and the rights granted to a “Controlling Holder” or “Directing Holder”) or increase the obligations of such Holder hereunder;
(b) cooperate with the reasonable requests from third-party service providers engaged by the requesting Holder to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by such Note A Holder or the Rating Agencies in connection with the Holders, the Notes or the Mortgage Loan; and
(c) execute amendments to the Loan Documents to further sever the Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Holder take any action or refrain from taking any action that would violate any law of any applicable jurisdiction, would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or would violate the REMIC Provisions of the Servicing Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.
23. Reserved.
24. No Pledge or Loan. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by any one or more Holders to any one or more other Holders, or a loan from any one or more Holders to any one or more other Holders. The Note B Holder shall have not any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in respect of payments due under the Mortgage Loan, then
| 51 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
the Note B Holder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

26. Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

27. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that no successors or assigns of any Initial Note A Holder or Initial Note B Holder shall have any liability for a breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. Each Servicer and Trustee (if any) and each servicer and trustee of any Non-Lead Securitization is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 8 and the preceding sentence, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto or a successor or assign of a party hereto.

The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

31. Holder’s Access to Information. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Interim Servicer) shall provide to the other Holders and, from and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that such other Holders shall have access to, upon written request to the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subject to any restrictions on the distribution of such information contained in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (a) a summary of the current status of principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, (b) copies of the Borrower’s current financial statements, to the extent in the Servicer’s possession, (c) the most recent appraisal, if any, as to the value of the Property, to the extent in the Servicer’s possession, (d) a copy of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (e) copies of any default or acceleration notices sent to the Borrower with respect to the Mortgage Loan and all material correspondence related thereto, (f) material notices delivered to any Servicer by the Borrower, (g) copies of each other report provided to the certificateholders in accordance with the express terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (but only to the extent such other reports relate to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower), and (h) other information with respect to the Borrower or the Mortgage Loan, reasonably requested by such other Holder, to the extent required to be provided by the Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and in the Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Servicer, in each case at the sole cost and expense of such other Holder, to the extent not included in the regular fees and charges of the Servicer (with respect to all out-of-pocket and the reasonable administrative and photocopying costs of the Servicer).

33. Statement of Intent. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income, this Agreement shall be treated as creating a “grantor trust”
| 53 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |

The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Trustee (if any) or any other party so designated under the Lead Securitization Agreement on its behalf) shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such intended characterization. Each other Holders by its acceptance of its interest herein, agrees, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with such characterization.

Further, this grantor trust shall not (a) acquire any additional assets or (b) modify (or agree to the modification of) or dispose of its assets other than pursuant to the terms hereof. The grantor trust shall take no action (or fail to take any action) that will cause it (by the taking or by the failure to take, as the case may be) to be classified as other than a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes.
35. Servicers of the Mortgage Loan. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed by the Holders as the interim servicer of the Mortgage Loan. From and after the Lead Securitization Date, pursuant to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will be appointed as the initial master servicer of the Trust Loan and the primary servicer of the Mortgage Loan and KeyBank National Association will be appointed as the initial special servicer of the Mortgage Loan. Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Interim Servicer with or without cause under this Agreement and from and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to appoint and remove the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

36. Registration of Transfers. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the applicable Servicer or the Trustee on its behalf) shall maintain a register on which it shall record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by any other Holders.

39. Withholding Taxes.
(a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the other Holders with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Holder constituting a non-exempt person, the Servicer shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Holder), provided that the Servicer shall furnish such 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 Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Holder is subject to tax.
(b) Each Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) harmless from and against any taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold taxes from payment made to such Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer on its behalf) to withhold taxes from payments made to such 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 Holder shall, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.
(c) Each Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Borrower) that it is not a non-exempt person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or the Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that it 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 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 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 Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such 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-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Holder, as evidence of such 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 to each other Holder in respect of its Note or otherwise until such
| 55 | ||
| Co-Lender Agreement (Rockefeller Center) |
Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.
40. Cooperation in Securitization; Re-Sizing of A Note; Provisions Relating to Securitization.
(a) In connection with the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, Note B Holders hereby consent to the inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization of the identity of the Note B Holders and the identification of other Persons that control the related B Note (other than the identification of its limited partners or other non-controlling investors). Note B Holders covenant and agree that in the event any A Note is to be included as an asset of the Lead Securitization or any Non-Lead Securitization, Note B Holders shall, at the related Initial Note A Holder’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by Note B Holders) and request, (i) meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies to discuss the business and operations of Note B Holders, (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Initial Note A Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization, as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and (iii) review and respond promptly with respect to any information (except as permitted above) relating to Note B Holders in the Lead Securitization or such Non-Lead Securitization document.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as any Initial Holder or any affiliate thereof (an “Initial Holder Entity”) is the owner of an A Note (each, an “Owned Note”), such Initial Holder Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of an Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing an Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of such 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 such 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 New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Initial Holder 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 Accepted Servicing Practices. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Initial Holder 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. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as certified by the applicable Initial Holder Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal.
(c) The Lead Securitization Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that it shall cause the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to provide that (and, to the extent such provisions are not included in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement they shall be deemed incorporated therein and made a part thereof):
(i) the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee for such Lead Securitization shall be required to notify the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee under each Non-

Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement of the amount of any P&I Advance it has made with respect to the Lead Securitization Notes included in the Lead Securitization Trust or Property Advances it has made with respect to the Property within two (2) Business Days of making any such advance;
