Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Non-Controlling Noteholder, the Note B Holder (it being understood that the interest of the Note B Holder is a junior Note interest, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and BANA (for purposes of this reference, solely with respect
35 |
to the May-July 2020 Deferred Interest Payment, taking into account that the entitlement of BANA to receive the May-July 2020 Deferred Interest Payment is subordinate to Note B subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and any Non-Controlling Noteholder or Note B Holder or BANA, so long as such Person is not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party, shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Controlling Noteholder and/or the Controlling Noteholder Representative to exercise their respective rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6), if the Servicer (on behalf of the Noteholders) in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Mortgage Loan Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to each Senior Noteholder pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each Senior Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, the Note B (and the subordination to Note B of the entitlement of BANA to the May-July 2020 Deferred Interest Payment in accordance with Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, hereof) shall bear the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout (up to the amount otherwise due on the Note B and in respect of the May-July 2020 Deferred Interest Payment). Subject to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6), in the case of any modification or amendment described above, the Servicer (on behalf of the Noteholders) will have the sole authority and ability to revise the payment provisions set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 above in a manner that reflects the subordination of the Note B (and the subordination to Note B of the entitlement of BANA to the May-July 2020 Deferred Interest Payment in accordance with Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, hereof) to each Senior Note with respect to the loss that is the result of such amendment or modification, including: (i) the ability to increase the Percentage Interest of each Senior Note and to reduce the Percentage Interest of the Note B in a manner that reflects a loss in principal as a result of such amendment or modification and (ii) the ability to change the Senior Note Rate and the Note B Rate, as applicable, in order to reflect a reduction in the Mortgage Loan Rate of the Mortgage Loan but shall not be permitted to change the order of the clauses set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Workout, modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan extends the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan, for purposes of this paragraph, the Balloon Payment will be deemed not to be due on the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan but will be deemed due on the extended maturity date of the Mortgage Loan.
(d) All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicer on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the First Securitization, the Note A-1 Holder (or any servicer appointed by it under any interim servicing agreement) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the
36 |
administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, to the same extent as the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s authority on and after the First Securitization.
(e) If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) the Lead Securitization Noteholder may not modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G 2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes a Note (or any portion thereof). The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein. All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 5(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by each Note subject to a securitization on a pro rata and pari passu basis.
Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Note is included in a REMIC and any other is not, such other Noteholder shall not be required to reimburse the Noteholders that deposited a Note into a REMIC or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.
(f) If any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision has been requested or proposed, or if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer otherwise intends to make a Major Decision, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall provide written notice to the Controlling Noteholder (and any Controlling Noteholder Representative) of such proposed Major Decision. The Master Servicer
37 |
or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not implement any decision with respect to such Major Decision until the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) has been received; provided that such consent shall be deemed given if the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) fails to respond to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis with respect to such Major Decision, together with all information reasonably requested by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), and reasonably available to such Servicer, in order to evaluate the Major Decision.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to any Mortgaged Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative). The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not follow any advice or consultation provided by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) that would require or cause the Servicer to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Servicer to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of any Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.
(g) During the continuation of a Control Appraisal Period, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or its Directing Certificateholder) shall have, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, all of the same rights and powers of the Directing Certificateholder under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, without limitation, the right to consent and/or consult regarding Major Decisions and other servicing matters, the right to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and the right to direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made therein, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of a Control Appraisal Period, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required:
38 |
(i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Controlling Noteholder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder under the Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) or a Consultation Termination Event (as defined in the Servicing Agreement)); and
(ii) to consult with each Non-Controlling Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the Non-Controlling Noteholders by the Lead Securitization Noteholder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with any Non-Controlling Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Noteholder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).
Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Noteholder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Noteholder.
In addition to the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Noteholder (or its Non-Controlling Noteholder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, during the continuance of a Control Appraisal Period, each Non-Controlling Noteholder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (either telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) at the offices of the Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.
The Noteholders acknowledge that the Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor certain non-binding consultation
39 |
rights with respect to Major Decisions related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.
(h) The Note B Holder shall be entitled to avoid a Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount upon satisfaction of the following (which must be completed within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a third party Appraisal that indicates such Control Appraisal Period has occurred): (i) the Note B Holder shall have delivered as a supplement to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, in the amount specified in clause (ii) below, to the Servicer, together with documentation acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Servicer on behalf of the Senior Noteholder in such collateral (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and acceptable to, the Servicer or (b) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit with the Servicer as the beneficiary, issued by a bank or other financial institutions the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are at all times rated at least “AA” (or the equivalent) by each Rating Agency that rates such institution or the short term obligations of which are rated at least “A-1+” by (or the equivalent) by each Rating Agency that rates such institution (either (a) or (b), the “Threshold Event Collateral”), and (ii) the Threshold Event Collateral shall be in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, would cause the applicable Control Appraisal Period not to occur. If the requirements of this paragraph are satisfied by the Note B Holder (a “Threshold Event Cure”), no Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to have occurred. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the applicable Controlling Noteholder shall be required to renew such letter of credit not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration thereof or to replace such letter of credit with a substitute letter of credit or other Threshold Event Collateral with an expiration date that is greater than forty-five (45) days from the date of substitution; provided, however, that, if a letter of credit is not renewed prior to thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit, the letter of credit shall provide that the Servicer may (and at the direction of the Note B Holder, shall) draw upon such letter of credit and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent a Control Appraisal Period from occurring; or (ii) the occurrence of a Final Recovery Determination, as defined in the Servicing Agreement. If the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, upon any redetermination thereof (including any redetermination under Section 5(j)(ii)), is sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period without taking into consideration any, or some portion of, Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by the Note B Holder, any or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Servicer shall promptly be returned to such Controlling Noteholder (at its sole expense). Upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan, such Threshold Event Collateral shall be available to reimburse each Noteholder for any realized loss pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan after application of the net proceeds of liquidation, not in excess of the applicable Principal Balance, each of the Notes, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable interest rate and all other Additional Servicing Expenses reimbursable under this Agreement and under the Servicing Agreement. Any Threshold Event Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) shall be beneficially owned
40 |
by the posting Noteholder who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The entire amount of Threshold Event Collateral, without a haircut or other reduction, shall be considered in determining the sufficiency of such Threshold Event Collateral to avoid a Control Appraisal Period.
(i) The Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Servicing Agreement.
(j) (i) The Note B Holder, if it is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Noteholder (the “Appraised-Out Holder”) as a result of the application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount, shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, but no more than one time in any calendar quarter, at its sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional appraisal with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to ensure that such additional appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Appraised-Out Holder’s written request and shall ensure that such appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the appraisal in respect of which the Appraised-Out Holder is requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional appraisal).
(ii) Upon receipt of any additional appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on such additional appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such additional appraisal. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Holder shall be reinstated as the Controlling Noteholder and, if applicable, shall have the Principal Balance of Note B notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Appraised-Out Holder requesting any additional appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Noteholder until such time, if any, as the Appraised-Out Holder is reinstated as the Controlling Noteholder (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a additional appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on the additional appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Noteholder during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the Note A-1 Holder.
(k) Prior to the First Securitization, Sections 3.14 and 3.15 of the Model PSA regarding governance and management of the REO Property are hereby incorporated herein by reference for the benefit of Note B Holder (in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Controlling Noteholder) and, in the event the Mortgaged Property becomes REO Property, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Noteholders shall be bound by such provisions (as applicable to the Mortgage Loan and the REO Property), as though the Mortgaged Property were a “Mortgaged Property” thereunder and the Note B Holder were a “Companion Holder” thereunder; provided, however, that such provisions shall be subject to the rights of the Note B Holder hereunder. From and after the First Securitization, the Securitization Servicing
41 |
Agreement shall contain substantially similar provisions (and shall be similarly subject to the rights of Note B Holder hereunder).
Section 6. Appointment of Controlling Noteholder Representative.
(a) The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Noteholder Representative”). The Controlling Noteholder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Noteholder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Noteholder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Noteholder Representative. The Controlling Noteholder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Noteholder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Noteholder, any affiliate of the Controlling Noteholder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Noteholder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Noteholder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Noteholder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Noteholder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Noteholder. No Servicer, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Noteholder Representative until the Controlling Noteholder has notified each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Noteholder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Noteholder Representative provides each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Noteholder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Asset Representations Reviewer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator.
(b) Neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Controlling Noteholder will have any liability to the other Noteholders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Noteholders agree that the Controlling Noteholder Representative and the Note B Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Noteholder Representative when no Controlling Noteholder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Note B Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Noteholder over the other Noteholder, and that the Controlling Noteholder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Noteholder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Noteholder Representative or the Note B Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the
42 |
Controlling Noteholder Representative, the Note B Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Noteholder Representative nor the Note B Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Noteholder.
(c) If the Note A-1 Holder is the Controlling Noteholder, the Note B Holder acknowledges and agrees (i) all of the aforementioned rights and obligations of the Note B Holder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative set forth in Section 5(f) and 5(g) and this Section 6 shall be exercisable by the Note A-1 Holder (or the applicable Person specified in the Servicing Agreement) to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement and (ii) the Directing Certificateholder may exercise all rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan and any decisions or consents or other powers with respect thereto as are set forth in the Servicing Agreement.
Section 7. Special Servicer. The Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), at its expense, shall have the right to appoint the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan (for the avoidance of doubt, the expenses referenced are those of the newly appointed Special Servicer and any terminated special servicer, including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer, and excluding Special Servicing Fees and ongoing costs incurred in connection with administration of the Mortgage Loan under the Servicing Agreement). The Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing), Controlling Noteholder Representative and/or Note B Holder shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7); such termination not be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent the Mortgage Loan has been securitized) to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement; (B) the initial or successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable servicing agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms; and (D) the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Non-Lead Certificate Administrator shall have filed any Form 8-K filings required pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of any such replacement of the Special Servicer. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall promptly provide copies
43 |
to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence. Prior to the Securitization, if the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, and if not later than thirty (30) days after the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) elects to replace the Special Servicer, then each Noteholder agrees that no liquidation fees or workout fees shall be payable to the Special Servicer being replaced, unless such Special Servicer shall have either successfully completed a workout or a liquidation, in which case such fees shall be payable as provided herein.
The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions such that any Special Servicer could be terminated under the Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of securities issued under the Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained. The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.
In addition, if an event that would constitute a “Servicing Transfer Event” under the Model PSA occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan prior to the First Securitization, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to the interim servicing agreement, or a separate special servicing agreement, to govern the special servicing of the Mortgage Loan until the First Securitization occurs, it being understood that the special servicer shall be selected by the Controlling Noteholder as provided in this Agreement and that such special servicing agreement shall otherwise be consistent with the Model PSA and subject to this Agreement.
Section 8. Payment Procedure.
(a) The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account for the Notes established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.
(b) If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf)
44 |
repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Lead Securitization Noteholder, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.
(c) If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to the Note B Holder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to the Note B Holder, the Note B Holder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).
(d) Each Noteholder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any Noteholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Noteholder under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one of the Noteholder against the other Noteholders. Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.
Section 9. Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders. No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.
The Note B Holder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Note B Holder and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including any Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Note B Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Note B Holder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the obligation of each Non-Controlling Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the servicing standard, each Non-Controlling Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that each Non-Controlling Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Note B Holder and that such Non-Controlling Noteholder (including any Non-Lead Servicer) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Note B Holder in connection with such Non-Controlling Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Non-Controlling Noteholder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Non-Lead Servicer must act in accordance with the servicing standard under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement.
The Senior Noteholders acknowledge that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Note B Holder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Note B Holder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Senior Noteholders and that the Note B Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to the Senior Noteholders in connection with the Note B Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Note B Holder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that the Note B Holder shall not be protected against any liability to the Senior Noteholders that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
Section 10. Bankruptcy. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof, each Non-Controlling Noteholder and the Note B Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) have the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof, each Non-Controlling Noteholder and the Note B Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. Each Non-Controlling Noteholder and the Note B Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to each Non-Controlling Noteholder and the Note B Holder in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Each Non-Controlling Noteholder and the Note B Holder in its capacity as such, hereby agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, such Non-Controlling Noteholder or Note B Holder, as applicable, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such
46 |
further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Section 11. Cure Rights of Controlling Noteholder.
(a) Subject to Section 11(b) below, in the event that the Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest on the Mortgage Loan by the end of the applicable grace period (the “Grace Period”) for such payment permitted under the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall provide notice to the Note B Holder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative of such default (the “Monetary Default Notice”). The Note B Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Monetary Default within five (5) Business Days after receiving the Monetary Default Notice (the “Cure Period”) and at no other times. The Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement that the Note B Holder’s failure to cure such Monetary Default within five (5) Business Days after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Monetary Default. At the time a payment is made to cure a Monetary Default, the Note B Holder shall pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization Noteholder for all unreimbursed Advances (whether or not recoverable with respect to Senior Notes, including principal and interest advances made with respect to Non-Lead Securitization Notes under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement), Advance Interest Amounts, any unpaid fees to any Servicer specifically provided for in the Servicing Agreement and any Additional Servicing Expenses. The Note B Holder shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder, to pay any default interest or late charges under the Loan Documents. So long as a Monetary Default exists for which a cure payment permitted hereunder is made, such Monetary Default shall not be treated as an Event of Default by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (including for purposes of (i) the definition of “Sequential Pay Event,” (ii) accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) treating the Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Loan); provided that such limitation shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Noteholder from collecting Default Interest or late charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Any amounts advanced by a Noteholder on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower to effect any cure shall be reimbursable to such Noteholder under Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11(a), the Note B Holder shall be limited to a combined total of four (4) cures of Monetary Defaults, no more than three (3) of which may be consecutive, or Non-Monetary Defaults over the term of the Mortgage Loan. Additional Cure Periods shall only be permitted with the consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder.
(c) No action taken by the Note B Holder in accordance with this Agreement shall excuse performance by the Mortgage Loan Borrower of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Senior Noteholder’s rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall not be waived or prejudiced by virtue of the Note B Holder’s actions under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Note B Holder shall be subrogated to the Senior
47 |
Noteholder’s rights to any payment owing to the Senior Noteholders for which the Note B Holder makes a cure payment as permitted under this Section 11 but such subrogation rights may not be exercised against the Mortgage Loan Borrower until 91 days after the Note is paid in full.
(d) If an Event of Default (other than a Monetary Default) occurs and is continuing under the Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Non-Monetary Default”), the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide notice to the Note B Holder and the Controlling Noteholder Representative (in each case, unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) of such failure (the “Non-Monetary Default Notice”) and the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Non-Monetary Default within the same period of time as the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents to cure such Non-Monetary Default; provided, however, if such Non-Monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such period and if curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing), the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary to enable the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Non-Monetary Default for so long as (i) the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such Non-Monetary Default, (ii) the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) makes all cure payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11(a) hereof, (iii) such additional period of time does not exceed ninety (90) days, (iv) such Non-Monetary Default is not caused by an Insolvency Proceeding or during such period of time that the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) has to cure a Non-Monetary Default in accordance with this Section 11(d) (the “Non-Monetary Default Cure Period”), an Insolvency Proceeding does not occur and (v) during such Non-Monetary Default Cure Period, there is no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Monetary Default or the attempted cure. The Non-Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Note B Holder’s or the Controlling Noteholder Representative’s failure to cure such Non-Monetary Default within the applicable Non-Monetary Default Cure Period after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Non-Monetary Default. The Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) shall not contact the Mortgage Loan Borrower in order to effect any cures under Sections 11(a) or this 11(d) unless it is in conjunction with the Special Servicer or the Note B Holder (unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing) has obtained the prior written consent of the Lead Securitization Noteholder.
Section 12. Purchase of the Senior Notes By Note B Holder.
The Note B Holder shall have the right, by written notice to each Senior Noteholder (a “Noteholder Purchase Notice”), delivered at any time an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, to purchase, in immediately available funds, Senior Notes in whole but not in part at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. For avoidance of doubt, if the Note B Holder elects to exercise its right to purchase a Note
48 |
pursuant to this Section 12, it must purchase each Senior Note. Upon the delivery of the Noteholder Purchase Notice to each Senior Note, each Senior Noteholder shall sell (and the Note B Holder shall purchase) the Senior Notes (including, without limitation, any Notes therein) at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, on a date (the “Defaulted Note Purchase Date”) not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of the Noteholder Purchase Notice, as shall be mutually established by the Lead Securitization Noteholder and the Note B Holder. In the event that the Note B Holder’s shall fail to purchase the Senior Note on or prior to the Defaulted Note Purchase Date, then the Note B Holder shall no longer have the right to purchase the Senior Notes under this Section 12 (other than as a result of any failure to consummate such purchase on the part of a Senior Noteholder or as a result of the conditions giving rise to such purchase ceasing to exist prior to the Defaulted Note Purchase Date). The Note B Holder agrees that the sale of the Senior Notes shall comply with all requirements of the Servicing Agreement and that all costs and expenses related thereto shall be paid by the Note B Holder. The Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) three (3) Business Days prior to the Defaulted Note Purchase Date (and such calculation shall be accompanied by a listing of all amounts included in the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Note B Holder. Concurrently with the payment to each Senior Noteholder in immediately available funds of its respective portion of the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, each Senior Noteholder will execute at the sole cost and expense of the Note B Holder in favor of the Note B Holder assignment documentation which will assign the applicable Senior Notes and the Mortgage Loan Documents without recourse, representations or warranties (except each Senior Noteholder will represent and warrant that it had good and marketable title to, was the sole owner and holder of, and had power and authority to deliver the Mortgage Loan or Note, as applicable, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than the interest created by Note B)). The right of the Note B Holder to purchase the Senior Notes shall automatically terminate upon a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property (and the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall give the Note B Holder ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intent with respect to such action). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title to the Mortgaged Property is transferred to the Servicer (or other nominee on behalf of the Noteholders) less than ten (10) days after the acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall notify the Note B Holder of such transfer and the Note B Holder shall have a fifteen (15) day period from the date of such notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder to deliver the Noteholder Purchase Notice to each Senior Noteholder, in which case the Note B Holder will be obligated to purchase the Mortgaged Property, in immediately available funds, within such fifteen (15) day period at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.
Section 13. Representations of Note B Holder. The Note B Holder represents, solely as to itself and Note B, and it is specifically understood and agreed, that it is acquiring the Note B for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and each Senior Noteholder shall otherwise have no liability or responsibility to the Note B Holder except as expressly provided herein or for actions that are taken or omitted to be taken by such Senior Noteholder that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct or that constitute a breach of this Agreement. The Note B Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene its charter or any law or contractual
49 |
restriction binding upon the Note B Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Note B Holder enforceable against the Note B Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. The Note B Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possesses of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. The Note B Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Note B Holder, (b) to the Note B Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Note B Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to the Note B Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against the Note B Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.
The Note B Holder acknowledges that the Senior Noteholders do not owe the Note B Holder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein, need not consult with the Note B Holder with respect to any action taken by a Senior Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
The Note B Holder expressly and irrevocably waives for itself and any Person claiming through or under the Note B 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 which purports to give a junior loan Noteholder the right to initiate any loan enforcement or foreclosure proceedings.
Section 14. Representations of the Senior Noteholder. Each Senior Noteholder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within their corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Senior Noteholder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Senior Noteholder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Senior Noteholder enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. Each Senior Noteholder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on their business. Each Senior Noteholder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Senior Noteholder, (b) to such Senior Noteholder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Senior Noteholder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Senior Noteholder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Senior Noteholder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

Section 15. Independent Analysis of the Note B Holder. The Note B Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Senior Noteholders, except with respect to the representations and warranties provided by the Senior Noteholders herein, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase the Note B and the Note B Holder accepts responsibility therefor. The Note B Holder hereby acknowledges that, other than the representations and warranties provided herein, the Senior Noteholders have made no representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loan, subject to such representations and warranties as provided by the Senior Noteholders herein, and that the Senior Noteholders shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectibility of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished to the Senior Noteholders in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Note B Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with the Note B except as specifically set forth herein.
Section 16. No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby among any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Senior Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to the Note B Holder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future loans originated by such Senior Noteholder or their Affiliates and if any Senior Noteholder chooses to offer to the Note B Holder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Senior Noteholder or their Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Senior Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Note B Holder shall not have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from such Senior Noteholder a Note interest in any future loans originated by such Senior Noteholder or their Affiliates.
Section 17. Not a Security. The Note B shall not be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Section 18. Other Business Activities of the Noteholders. The Note B Holder acknowledges that each Senior Noteholder or their respective Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any direct or indirect parent or Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.
51 |
Section 19. Sale of the Notes.
(a) The Note B Holder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of Note B except in accordance with this Section 19. The Note B Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the Senior Noteholders or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its interest in Note B to any Person; provided that any such Transfer shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 19(b) and (c). The Note B Holder shall have the right at any time to Transfer its Note, or any portion thereof, to (i) a Qualified Institutional Lender without obtaining any Senior Noteholder’s prior written consent, provided that promptly after such Transfer, each Senior Noteholder is provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the Note B Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender, and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 19(b); or (ii) an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, provided that (x) if such Transfer is prior to the First Securitization and is of more than 49% (in the aggregate) of the interest in Note B, each Senior Noteholder’s prior written consent shall be required (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (y) after the First Securitization, no consent of applicable Senior Noteholder shall be required, but, if such Transfer is of more than 49% (in the aggregate) of the interest in Note B, then the Note B Holder shall first obtain (and deliver to the applicable Senior Noteholder) Rating Agency Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such transfer shall be permitted to the extent it would cause Note B to be held by more than five persons, and, without each Senior Noteholder’s prior consent (which may be withheld in such Senior Noteholder’s sole discretion), the Note B Holder shall not Transfer all or any portion of Note B to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.
(b) All Transfers under Section 19(a) shall be made upon written notice to the Senior Noteholders not later than the date of such Transfer, and each transferee shall (i) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder with respect to Note B from and after the date of such assignment (or, in the case, of a pledge, collateral assignment or other encumbrance made in accordance with Section 19(e) by the Note B Holder of Note B solely as security for a loan to the Note B Holder made by a third-party lender whereby the Note B Holder remains fully liable under this Agreement, on or before the date on which such lender succeeds to the rights of the Note B Holder by foreclosure or otherwise, such third-party lender executes an agreement that such lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the Note B Holder hereunder) and (ii) agree and acknowledge that the servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by the Servicing Agreement, unless the Servicing Agreement is not then in effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, in which event the parties will enter into or agree to be bound by any replacement servicing agreement therefor in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Agent shall provide prompt written notice to each Rating Agency of any Transfer of all or any portion of Note B. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of Note B in accordance with this Agreement, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to Note B (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of
52 |
a participation interest in Note B as described in clause (c) below). The Note B Holder agrees it will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of each Senior Noteholder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) in connection with any such Transfer. If Note B is held by more than one Noteholder at any time, the holders of Note B shall promptly appoint a representative to serve as the sole point of contact on behalf of all such holders of Note B hereunder (which such representative may be replaced from time to time by such holders upon written notice to each Servicer), which representative will also be the Controlling Noteholder Representative hereunder when the Note B Holder is the Controlling Noteholder hereunder. Any such representative shall be either (i) a Qualified Institutional Lender or (ii) a person that has been approved by the holders of any Senior Notes that have not been included in a Securitization and as to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to any Senior Notes that have been included in a Securitization. The Senior Noteholders need only recognize such representative for purposes of notices, consents and other communications between the Senior Noteholders and the Note B Holder, and such representative shall be the only Person recognized to exercise the rights of the Note B Holder (it being understood that (x) the holders of Note B collectively hold the rights of the Note B Holder under this Agreement and may separately agree among themselves as to the manner in which such holders direct such representative to exercise the rights of the Note B Holder under this Agreement and (y) the Senior Noteholders (and any Servicer) shall have no responsibility for, under or otherwise with respect to any such separate agreement and shall be entitled to rely solely on the statements and actions of such representative as regards the exercise of such rights).
(c) In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholder a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholder, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Note B Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, however, that upon the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period with respect to Note B, the aforesaid delegation of rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.
(d) Each Senior Noteholder agrees that it will not Transfer its related Note except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, each non-transferring Senior Noteholder shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Senior Noteholder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer to a Securitization (and the related pooling and servicing or similar agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement) or in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 19(b). If a Senior Noteholder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain (x) prior to a Securitization, the consent of each non-transferring Senior Noteholder or (2) after a
53 |
Securitization of a Senior Noteholder, a Rating Agency Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Senior Noteholder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note A to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee; provided that the foregoing provision shall not preclude the Transfer of any Note A into a Securitization so long as the related Securitization Servicing Agreement or Non-Lead Servicing Agreement contains provisions limiting the rights of borrower affiliates to access certain information, consent to certain matters and act as the special servicer that are comparable to the Model PSA.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without the consent of each other Noteholder of a Note that is not in a Securitization, and, after the First Securitization, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to the other Noteholders and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each of the other holders agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to the other Noteholder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Noteholders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Noteholders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any
54 |
Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Noteholders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Noteholder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Noteholder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 19(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.
(f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;
(ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Xxxxx’x rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;
(iii) Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;
(iv) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and
(v) Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not, without obtaining the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.
55 |
Section 20. Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any participant and Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 19 and this Section 20. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon a Securitization, the Servicer of the Lead Securitization shall automatically become and be the Agent.
Section 21. Registration of the Notes. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial Note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the Initial Noteholders who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Senior Noteholder and the Note B Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.
Section 22. Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified and maintained as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.
Section 23. No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in any Mortgage Loan by any Noteholder to another Noteholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Note B Holder shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then 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.

Section 24. Cooperation in Securitization.
(a) Each Noteholder acknowledges that any Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization of a Senior Note, at the request of the related Noteholder, each other Noteholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at the requesting Noteholder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the requesting Noteholder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the requesting Noteholder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with the Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Securitization no other Noteholder shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of any payments to be made to, such Noteholder, (ii) increase such Noteholder’s obligations or decrease such Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections hereunder or under any Mortgage Loan Document, or (iii) otherwise adversely affect in more than a de minimis manner the rights and interests of such Noteholder. In connection with any such Securitization of a Senior Note, each other Noteholder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the related Securitization such customary non-confidential information concerning such Noteholder as the requesting Noteholder reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with its Securitization. Each Noteholder covenants and agrees that if it is not the requesting Noteholder, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the requests of each Rating Agency and the requesting Noteholder in connection with the preparation of any offering documents in connection with the Securitization, and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to it in any Securitization document, all at the cost and expense of the requesting Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the requesting Noteholder pursuant to this Section 24 may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization. A requesting Senior Noteholder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by each other Noteholder pursuant to this Section 24.
(b) The Senior Noteholder securitizing its Note may, at its election, deliver to each other Noteholder drafts of the preliminary and final Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any other disclosure documents and (in the case of the Lead Securitization) the Servicing Agreement simultaneously with distributions of any such documents to the general working group of the related Securitization. Each other Noteholder may, at its election, review and comment thereon insofar as it relates to such other Noteholder and/or its Note, and, if such other Noteholder elects to review and comment, such other Noteholder shall review and comment thereon as soon as possible (but in no event later than (i) in the case of the first draft thereof, two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof and (ii) in the case of each subsequent draft thereof, the deadline provided to the general working group of the related Securitization for review and comment), and if such other Noteholder fails to respond
57 |
within such time, such other Noteholder shall be deemed to have elected to not comment thereon. In the event of any disagreement between any such other Noteholder with respect to the preliminary and final offering memoranda, prospectus, free writing prospectus or any other disclosure documents the requesting Noteholder’s determination shall control. No such other Noteholder shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any such offering documents other than the accuracy of any comments it elects to make regarding itself.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) no other Noteholder shall be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its Securitization of such Note, and (ii) any such other Noteholder shall only be required to disclose such customary non-confidential information reasonably determined by the requesting Noteholder to be necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations in connection with its Securitization.
(d) If the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and the Special Servicer determines to sell any of the Lead Securitization Note in accordance with the Securitization Servicing Agreement, it shall have the right and the obligation to sell all of the Notes as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall provide notice to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling Noteholder’s opportunity to bid on the Mortgage Loan.
Section 25. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 26. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;
(b) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF
58 |
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;
(c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND
(d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO XXX IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
Section 27. Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. The Agent shall provide two Business Days prior written notice to each Rating Agency of any material modification to this Agreement. For as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating securities of any Securitization; provided that no such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, to make provisions of this Agreement consistent with other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 39). Any amendment to the provisions of this Agreement relating to the May-July 2020 Deferred Interest Payment shall require the prior written consent of BANA.
Section 28. 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. Except (i) for BANA at any time it is not otherwise a party to this Agreement as a Noteholder and then only with respect to the provisions of this Agreement relate to the May-July 2020 Deferred Interest Payment, and (ii) as otherwise provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 19, each Noteholder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments and the creation of New Notes pursuant to Section 39.
Section 29. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other
59 |
electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). 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.
Section 30. Captions. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of the paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.
Section 31. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 32. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.
Section 33. Withholding Taxes.
(a) If a Senior Noteholder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the Note B Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of the Note B Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Noteholder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to the Note B Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to the Note B Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall furnish the Note B 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 the Note B Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Note B Holder is subject to tax.
(b) The Note B Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Noteholder against and hold the Lead Securitization Noteholder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to the Note B Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by the Note B Holder to the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization
60 |
Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to the Note B Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) the Note B Holder shall, upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Noteholder.
(c) The Note B Holder represents to the Senior Noteholders (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Noteholder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, the Note B Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Noteholder substantiating that the Note B Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if the Note B 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 Noteholder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if the Note B Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, the Note B Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Note B Holder, as evidence of the Note B Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the Note B Holder in respect of the Note B or otherwise until the Note B Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Noteholder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.
Section 34. Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. Prior to the First Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (except for the Notes) shall be held by a duly appointed custodian of the Initial Agent on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes, and each of the Notes shall be held by its respective Noteholder or a duly appointed custodian of such Noteholder. If the First Securitization includes Note A-1, on and after the Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (except for the Notes other than Note A-1 and any other Notes included in such First Securitization) shall be transferred to and held in the name of the trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the Securitization Servicing Agreement, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes. If the First Securitization does not include Note A-1, then (a) for the period beginning upon the closing of such First Securitization and ending upon the Securitization Date, the
61 |
originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (except for the Notes other than the Notes included in such First Securitization) shall be held in the name of the trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the applicable First Securitization Note PSA, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes; and (b) on and after the Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (except for the Notes other than Note A-1 and any other Notes included in the Lead Securitization closing on the Securitization Date) shall be transferred to and held in the name of the trustee (and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor) under the Securitization Servicing Agreement, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.
Section 35. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) writing and personally delivered, (ii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) sent by electronic mail containing language requesting the recipient to confirm receipt thereof if a party has provided an electronic mail address and only if such electronic mail is promptly followed by a written notice or (iv) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.
All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder as a Non-Controlling Noteholder (or any Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to each other Noteholder (including to the Note B Holder regardless of whether a Control Appraisal Period is continuing).
Section 36. Broker. Each Noteholder represents to each other Noteholder that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.
Section 37. Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.
(a) The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 20;
(b) The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;
(c) The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;
(d) The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
62 |
(e) The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 20; and
(f) The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.
Section 38. Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Note A-1 Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 38, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.
The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. BANA, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to the Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder. BANA, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent. The termination or resignation of such Servicer, as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.
Section 39. Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as BANA or an affiliate thereof (an “Original Entity”) is the owner of any Note that has not been included in a Securitization (each, an “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in each case, as applicable, “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 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 and (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. If the Lead Securitization Noteholder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of each other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above are satisfied, as certified by the Original Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master
63 |
Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Noteholders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal and that each New Note shall be a “Note” hereunder and for the purpose of adding and modifying any definitions related thereto. If more than one New Note is created hereunder, for purposes of exercising the rights of a Controlling Noteholder or Non-Controlling Noteholder hereunder, the “Controlling Noteholder” or “Non-Controlling Noteholder”, as applicable, shall be as provided in the definitions of such terms in this Agreement; provided that the Controlling Noteholder shall be entitled to designate any New Note created from the existing Controlling Note to be a Non-Controlling Note hereunder.
