Provisions Relating to Securitization (a) For so long as an Initial Note Holder or its Affiliate (an “Initial Note Holder Entity”) is the owner of its Note(s), such Initial Note Holder Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of its Note(s) or severing its Note(s) into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then-outstanding principal balance of its Note(s), provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of the related original Note(s) prior to such amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the original Note(s) prior to such amendments, (iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement and (iv) the Initial Note Holder Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the other Holders (or, for any Note that has been contributed to a Securitization, to the trustee and the applicable master servicer of such Securitization) in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. In connection with the foregoing, (1) the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to execute amendments to the Loan Agreement and this Agreement (or to amend and restate the Loan Agreement and this Agreement) on behalf of any or all of the Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal or such severing of Note(s), (2) if a Note is severed into “component” notes, such component notes shall each have their same rights as the respective original Note (except if such original Note is Note A-1, then the applicable Initial Note Holder shall designate one of the New Notes to take the place of Note A-1 in the definitions of “Directing Holder”, “Lead Note”, “Lead Securitization”, “Non-Directing Holder” and “Servicing Agreement”), and (3) the definition of the term “Securitization” and all of the related defined terms may be amended (and new terms added, as necessary) to reflect the New Notes. Rating Agency Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this paragraph 18(a).
General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges (1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.
