Each of the Note A-1 Holder and Note A-2 Holder acknowledges that the Note A-3 Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include the Note A-3 in a Securitization and each agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with the Note A-3 Holder, at the Note A-3 Holder’s expense, to effect such Securitization. The Note A-3 Holder expressly covenants and agrees that if the Note A-3 is included in a Securitization, the servicing agreement for such Securitization shall expressly provide that the Note A-3 shall, at all times, be serviced in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any terms set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and/or the Note A-3 Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the event of any inconsistency between the Lead Securitization Servicing
| 16 |
Agreement, this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and/or the Note A-3 Securitization Servicing Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall govern. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement require the Servicer to enforce the rights of any Note Holder against the other Note Holder or limit the Servicer in enforcing the rights of one Note Holder against the other Note Holder; however, this statement shall not be construed to otherwise limit the rights of one Note Holder with respect to the other Note Holder. Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and applicable law, and shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.

(b) The Master Servicer shall be the master servicer on the Mortgage Loan, and from time to time it (or the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (i) shall be required to make Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and (ii) may be required to make P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization Note, if and to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Whole Loan Custodial Account for the Mortgage Loan that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Property Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Whole Loan Custodial Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization and Note A-3 Holder as provided below. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest Amounts on a Property Advance or a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization and, in the case of Property Advances, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization and Note ▇-

The master servicer under the Non-Lead Securitization (the “Non-Lead Master Servicer”) may be required to make P&I Advances on the Non-Lead Securitization Note, from
| 18 |
time to time, subject to the terms of the servicing agreement for the related Securitization (the “Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement”), the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee or the A-3 Master Servicer or the A-3 Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two business days of making such advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note), or the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Note), or the A-3 Master Servicer, A-3 Special Servicer or the A-3 Trustee, as applicable, determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Property Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Property Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee) or the A-3 Master Servicer or the A-3 Trustee (as provided in the Note A-3 Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the A-3 Master Servicer, the A-3 Special Servicer or the A-3 Trustee), as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, or the A-3 Master Servicer and A-3 Trustee, as the case may be, of the other Securitization within two business days of making such determination.

All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, Condemnation Proceeds, or Insurance Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents), but excluding (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents (to the extent, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to be held as reserves or escrows or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Property Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable (except for (i) any reimbursements of P&I Advances previously made (and interest
| 22 |
thereon) on the Lead Securitization Note, (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of the Non-Lead Securitization Note’s and Note A-3’s pro rata share of that portion of such Servicing Fees calculated at the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to the Mortgage Loan as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) to any Servicer (or the Trustee as successor to the Servicer), with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including without limitation, any Additional Trust Fund Expenses relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph), amounts paid by the Borrower in respect of modification fees or assumption fees and any other additional compensation payable pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.
For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Property Advances and reimbursement of any Property Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Trustee, the master servicer or trustee under the Note A-3 Securitization Trust if the Note A-3 is in a Securitization Trust, for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or the Note A-3 Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay Additional Trust Fund Expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, (i) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to the Lead Securitization Note, be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the remaining amount of Penalty Charges allocable to the Non-Lead Securitization Note, or the A-3 Master Servicer, A-3 Special Servicer or the A-3 Trustee, as applicable, be paid, (x) prior to the securitization of such Note, to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Note A-3 Holder, as applicable, or the A-3 Master Servicer or the A-3 Trustee, as applicable, and (y) following the securitization of such Note, to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
Section 4. Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage
| 23 |
Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.
Section 5. Administration of the Mortgage Loan.
(a) Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and neither the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Note A-3 Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note A-3 Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Note A-3 Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).
Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder hereby acknowledge the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Note and the Note A-3 together with the Lead Securitization Note as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Note and the Note A-3 together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan if it becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of the Non-Controlling Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder (provided that such
| 24 |
consent is not required if the Non-Controlling Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, as applicable, is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Non-Controlling Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the Non-Controlling Note Holder and/or Note A-3 Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to the other offerors and the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by and Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Non-Controlling Note Holder and/or Note A-3 Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Controlling Note Holder, the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative and Note A-3 Holder shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.
The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note A-3 Holder hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of Non-Lead Securitization Note and the Note A-3 Holder. The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note A-3 Holder further agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note A-3 Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the original Non-Lead Securitization Note and original Note A-3, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.
The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Note and the Note A-3, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Note and Note A-3 upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by GMSC from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by GMSC with respect to Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by GMSC with respect to Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Note A-3 Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by GMSC or any document delivery obligation
| 25 |
imposed on GMSC under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by GMSC in connection with the Lead Securitization.
(b) The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder 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 Note Holders as a collective whole. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or that may adversely affect Note A-3 Holder. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder (unless it is the same Person as or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to their rights as specifically provided for therein.
(c) (i) The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, all of the same rights and powers of the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization 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 Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made therein, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including the Servicing Standard).
(ii) In addition to the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative), the Note A-3 Holder (or the Note A-3 Holder Representative) shall have, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, all of the same rights and powers of the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the right to consent and/or consult regarding Mezzanine Loan Matters only, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including the Servicing Standard).
| 26 |
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization 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 both the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and Note A-3 Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and Note A-3 Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent after having received such notices, information and reports, the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and/or Note A-3 Holder 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 the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and/or Note A-3 Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and Note A-3 Holder by the Lead Securitization Note Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and/or Note A-3 Holder, whether or not the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and/or Note A-3 Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and Note A-3 Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and/or Note A-3 Holder.
In addition to the consultation rights of the Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) and Note A-3 Holder provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Non-Controlling Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder shall have the right
| 27 |
to attend annual meetings (either telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Servicer) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.
(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 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 Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.
Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and the other is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.
Section 6. Appointment of Controlling Note Holder Representative, Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative and Note A-3 Holder Representative.
(a) The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder
| 28 |
Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Operating Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator. So long as no Consultation Termination Event (including any such deemed event) is in effect pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder Representative shall be the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.
(b) Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.
| 29 |
(c) The Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and Section 6(b) shall apply to the Non-Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis. The Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Current Note A-2 Holder.
(d) Note A-3 Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Note A-3 Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and Section 6(b) shall apply to Note A-3 Holder and Note A-3 Holder Representative mutatis mutandis (it being expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to provide the Note A-3 Holder with the rights of the Controlling Holder under this Agreement). When exercising its various rights under this Agreement, the Note A-3 Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Note A-3 Holder Representative. Note A-3 Holder Representative, as of the date of this Agreement and until the Lead Securitization Note Holder (and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) is notified otherwise, shall be the Current Note A-3 Holder.
Section 7. Appointment of Special Servicer. The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects the Non-Controlling Note Holder and/or the Note A-3 Holder, the Non-Controlling Note Holder and/or the Note A-3 Holder, as applicable, shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the
| 30 |
Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced) solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced). The Controlling Note Holder, Non-Controlling Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder each acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at the Non-Controlling Note Holder’s and/or Note A-3 Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder; provided, however, it is expressly understood and agreed that if there is a conflict between a decision of Non-Controlling Note Holder and a decision of the Note A-3 Holder under this Section 7, the decision of the Non-Controlling Note Holder shall prevail and govern. In connection with such termination and appointment, the Non-Controlling Note Holder (to the extent it directed the termination) or Note A-3 Holder (to the extent it directed the termination), shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account.
Section 8. Payment Procedure.
(a) The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two Business Days after such payment was received by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.
(b) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders or Note A-3 Holder and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and the Note A-3 Holder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.
| 31 |
(c) If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder, as applicable, shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.
(d) Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note A-3 Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note A-3 Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s and such Note A-3 Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations; provided, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall (i) amounts payable by the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder be offset against payments due Note A-3 Holder or (ii) amounts payable by the Note A-3 Holder be offset against payments due Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder.
Section 9. Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder shall have no liability to the other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder.
The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Section 10. Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the
| 32 |
winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 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. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Section 11. Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.
Section 12. No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. Neither Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to the
| 33 |
other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if either Note Holder chooses to offer to the other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. Neither Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.
Section 13. Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower 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.
Section 14. Sale of the Notes.
(a) Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, the non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer to a Securitization (and the related pooling and servicing or similar agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement) or in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain consent of each of the non-transferring Note Holders and, if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, a confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each of the non-transferring Note Holders’ prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without a confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency that such Transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it will pay the expenses of each of the non-transferring Note Holders (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to the confirmation from the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holders, the Rating Agencies or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the
| 34 |
aggregate) of its Note or any beneficial interest in its Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of Note A-1 together with Note A-2 and Note A-3, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.
For the purposes of this Agreement, if any Rating Agency shall, in writing, waive, decline or refuse to review or otherwise engage any request for a confirmation hereunder from such Rating Agency that a proposed action will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization, such waiver, declination, or refusal shall be deemed to eliminate, for such request only, the condition that such confirmation by such Rating Agency (only) be obtained for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any such waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any request for such confirmation hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any subsequent request for such Rating Agency confirmation hereunder and the condition for such Rating Agency confirmation pursuant to this Agreement for any subsequent request shall apply regardless of any previous waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in such prior request.
(b) In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with each Note Holder in connection with each Note Holder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to the other Note Holders and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the other Note Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note
| 35 |
Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to the other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holders shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holders shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holders’ or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holders to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.
(d) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;
| 36 |
(ii) The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;
(iii) Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;
(iv) The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and
(v) Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.
Section 15. Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note Holder is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.
In connection with any Transfer of any Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Additionally, for as long as either the Note A-1 or Note A-2 is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such amendment or modification will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of its then current ratings of the securities issued in connection with a Securitization; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in
| 38 |
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 Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (ii) to make other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between 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 24. Withholding Taxes. (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so on a pro rata basis with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s or Note A-3 Holder’s interest, as applicable, in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, as applicable, with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and
| 39 |
other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.
(b) The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Note A-3 Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, as applicable, in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder, provided that, with respect to each Note Holder, such indemnification shall be limited to the failure to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Note Holder, and in no event shall any Note Holder be required to indemnify for the failure to withhold Taxes from payments made to any other Note Holder.
(c) The Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder represents (as to itself) to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and Note A-3 Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement.

| 40 |
Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Note or Note A-3 Holder or otherwise until the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or Note A-3 Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Note and the Note A-3) will be held by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the name of the Trustee and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), in each case, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.

Section 30. Reserved.
Section 31. Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer was deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of GSMC without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.
