In the event any monetary default beyond applicable notice and grace periods or non-monetary default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall exist with respect to the Mortgage Loan, then, upon notice from the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) (a “Cure Option Notice”) of the occurrence of such default beyond applicable notice and grace periods (which notice the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall promptly give to the Note B Holder upon receipt of knowledge thereof), each Note B Holder shall have the right, exercisable by each Note B Holder giving written notice of its intent to cure a default within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Cure Option Notice, to cure such default (and if each of the Note B-1 Holder and the Note B-2 Holder, or any combination thereof, provide such notice, then such Note B Holders collectively, on a pro rata basis shall have the right to cure such default); provided, in the event a Note B Holder has elected to cure any default, the default must be cured by such Note B Holder within, in the case of a monetary default, ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Cure Option Notice and, in the case of a non-monetary default, thirty (30) days after receipt of such Cure Option Notice. If a Note B Holder is attempting to cure a non-monetary default, the foregoing cure period of thirty (30) days may be extended for an additional sixty (60) days (for a total of up to ninety (90) days), but only for so long as (i) such Note B Holder is diligently and expeditiously proceeding to cure such non-monetary default, (ii) such Note B Holder makes all Cure Payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with this Section, (iii) such non-monetary default is not the result of a bankruptcy of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or other insolvency related event, and no bankruptcy commences or other insolvency related event occurs during the period that such Note B Holder is otherwise permitted to cure a non-monetary default in accordance with this Section and (iv) there is no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Mortgaged Property or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such non-monetary default or the attempted cure thereof.
If a Note B Holder elects to cure a default that can be cured by the payment of money (each such payment, a “Cure Payment”), such Note B Holder shall make such Cure Payment as directed by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) and each such Cure Payment shall include all costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each Note A Holder (including, without limitation, all unreimbursed Advances (without regard to whether such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any interest charged thereon at the Advance Rate, and any unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to the Mortgage Loan, but excluding any default interest and Penalty Charges) related to the default and incurred during the period of time from the expiration of the grace period for such default under the Mortgage Loan until such Cure Payment is made or such other cure is otherwise effected.
The right of a Note B Holder to reimbursement of any Cure Payment shall be as set forth in Section 5 and Section 6, as applicable. So long as a default exists that is being cured by a Note B Holder pursuant to this Section 11(b) and the cure period has not expired and such Note B Holder is permitted to cure under the terms of this Section 11(b), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) and the Trustee shall not treat such default as a default or a Triggering Event of Default (i) for purposes of Section 5 or Section 6; (ii) for purposes of accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by
47
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) for purposes of treating the Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that such limitations shall not prevent the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) or the Trustee from sending notices of the default to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any related guarantor or making demands on the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any related guarantor or from collecting default interest or late payment charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11(b), (A) a Note B Holder’s right to cure a monetary default or non-monetary default shall be limited to six (6) Cure Events over the life of the Mortgage Loan and (B) no single Cure Event may exceed four (4) consecutive months. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that if a single Event of Default is cured for four consecutive months, that same Event of Default may not be cured in the succeeding (fifth) month, a B Note Holder would be permitted to cure a different Event of Default in such succeeding (fifth) month. As used herein, “Cure Event” means a Note B Holder’s exercise of cure rights, whether for one (1) month or for consecutive months in the aggregate (and, in such case, such cure for such consecutive months shall constitute one (1) Cure Event). Cure Events in addition to the number of Cure Events permitted under this Section 11(b) shall only be permitted with the consent of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) or, at any time that the Mortgage Loan is included in the Lead Securitization, the Special Servicer.
12. Certain Servicing Matters.
(a) Books and Records. Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, in connection with any inspection of the Mortgaged Property or the books and other financial records of the Mortgage Loan Borrower by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, upon written request of the Directing Holder (if any) request that the Mortgage Loan Borrower to reasonably cooperate to provide the Directing Holder (if any) access for its own inspection of such Mortgaged Property or the books and other financial records. In addition, in response to the written request of the Directing Holder (if any), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall request that the officers of the Mortgage Loan Borrower and the accountants and other representatives of the Mortgage Loan Borrower arrange a meeting (either telephonic or in person) to discuss the business, financial and other condition of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall be paid by the Controlling Holder.

(ii) For each of the Holders, the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to interest and the amount of Prepayment Charges and default interest paid under the Mortgage Loan Documents;

From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Servicer shall only deliver such reports to the Holders as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; provided, however, so long as the Mortgage Loan is being serviced pursuant to the Interim Servicing agreement, this Section shall not be applicable and the Servicer shall provide the reports as set forth in the Interim Servicing Agreement.
(c) Financial Statements Etc. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall promptly provide the other Holders with copies of each financial statement and other statements and reports delivered to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, upon the reasonable request of such other Holder, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall also promptly deliver to such other Holder, copies of any other documents relating to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, property inspection reports and loan servicing statements.

15. Independent Analyses of the Initial Note B Holder. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, each Initial Note B Holder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Initial Note A Holder and based on such documents and information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made such Holder’s own credit analysis and decision to originate its related Note B. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each Initial Note B Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Holders have not made any representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and that the other Holders 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 each Initial Note A Holder 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.

51
18. Transfer of 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 any Transfer, non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from the related transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 14. 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 (a) obtain the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder and (b) if any such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, provide each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust with a Rating Agency Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if any non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, until a Rating Agency Confirmation is provided to each engaged Rating Agency for such Securitization Trust, 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 shall pay the expenses of any non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder or of any other Person or having to provide any Rating Agency Confirmation, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note to an entity that is not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party. None of the provisions of this Section 18(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of the Lead Securitization Notes together with all of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the 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., or (3) the Transfer of any securities issued by a Securitization Trust.
(b) In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective 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 such Note Holder in connection with such 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
52
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 applicable Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 18(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a 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 each other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Note Holder agrees 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 Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to each 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 Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Note Holder 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 each other Note Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder 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
53
Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 18(c) shall remain effective as to any 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;
(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.
19. Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each of the Holders acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (“Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to the 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder, as lender, shall exercise or be permitted to exercise the New Mezzanine Loan Option (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
20. Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer.
(a) Each of the Holders acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, the Controlling Holder’s rights under Section 21
54
hereof) and the Servicing Agreement, (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee (if any) on its behalf) may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights that such Lead Securitization Note Holder (or such Servicer or Trustee (if any)) may have hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the other Holders, so long as such actions are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have no liability whatsoever to the other Holders as a result of such Lead Securitization Note Holder’s (or any Servicer’s or Trustee’s) exercise of such rights or any omission by such Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or Trustee) to exercise such rights, except as expressly provided herein or for acts or omissions that are taken or omitted to be taken by such Lead Securitization Note Holder that constitute the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lead Securitization Note Holder or a breach of this Agreement, and (iii) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) service and administer the Mortgage Loan on behalf of each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder (as a collective whole) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder; but in all cases giving due consideration to the fact that Note B is subject and subordinate to each Note A in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder agree that the Servicer, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 21) and from and after the Lead Securitization Date subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, shall have the sole and exclusive authority (in each case, subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the rights of any Controlling Holder) with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority (i) to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) to consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) to vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action and in all cases acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the other Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s or Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder and the Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has (i) to declare or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Servicer to declare an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan (ii) to exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (iii) to vote any claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment with
55
respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. Except when acting in the capacity of trustee or paying agent, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of such Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to the other Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan but shall in all events be obligated to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Holder expressly and irrevocably waives for itself and any Person claiming through or under such Holder any and all rights that it may have under Section 1315 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law or the provisions of any similar law that purports to give a junior noteholder, mortgagee or loan participant the right to initiate any loan enforcement or foreclosure proceedings.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) of its rights under this Section 20 shall be subject in all respects to any sections of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action which would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents, violate Accepted Servicing Practices or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or cause the arrangement evidenced hereby not to be treated as a “grantor trust” for Federal income tax purposes. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall exercise such rights and powers described in this Section 20 on the understanding that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf) shall administer the Mortgage Loan in a manner consistent with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, provided that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf shall be liable to the other Holders with respect to anything the Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) may do or omit to do in relation to the Mortgage Loan, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Servicer or the Trustee (if any) acting on its behalf may rely on the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts (including those retained by the Mortgage Loan Borrower) and upon any written communication or telephone conversation which the Lead Securitization Note Holder or such Servicer or the Trustee (if any) believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.
(c) If title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired for the benefit of the Holders in foreclosure, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Lead Securitization Note Holder or its nominee (which shall not include any Servicer) on behalf of the Holders. The Servicer, on behalf of the Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property utilizing reasonable best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to maximize the proceeds of such disposal to the Holders (as a collective whole) if and when such Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disposal would be in the best economic interest of the Holders (as a collective whole). The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Holders solely
56
for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(d) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement (including the rights of the Controlling Holder) to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as such Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Holders (as a collective whole) and, in connection therewith, such Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable to the Holders. The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”). The Servicer shall (and shall be required under the Servicing Agreement to) deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one Business Day after receipt all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be remitted to the Collection Account), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Costs with respect to such REO Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) all ground rents in respect of any REO Property;
(iv) all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property; and
(v) to the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Holders of the necessity to take actions pursuant to this subsection (d), any expenditure associated with such actions taken by the Servicer shall be payable by the Holders at their option pursuant to Section 9.
(e) The Servicer shall contract with an independent contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Holders and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within forty-five (45) days after the Holders’ acquisition thereof (unless the Holders approve otherwise), provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;
57
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the independent contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof by such independent contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this subsection (e) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such independent contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Holders or the Lead Securitization Note Holder on behalf of the Holders with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
(f) The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any independent contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of such Servicer by such independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. When and as necessary, the Servicer shall send to the Holders a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting rents in respect of, any REO Property.
(g) With respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, which the Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall deliver to the Holders an officers’ certificate to the effect that, the Servicer has determined to sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with this subsection (g). The Servicer may then offer to sell to any Person the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which is in default or the REO Property (and shall on a monthly basis advise the Holders in writing of the status of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property) or, subject to the following sentence, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (in each case at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), but shall, in any event, so offer to sell the REO Property no later than the time determined by the Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of the REO Property within the period specified in the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall deliver such officers’ certificate and give the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in which case the Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.
58
(h) In the absence of any such offer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or purchase by the Servicer at the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, such Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by such Servicer to be a fair price for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer, if the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer is not an offeror) shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the Holders, an Appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a fair price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Mortgage Loan Borrower nor any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party may make an offer or purchase the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property pursuant hereto.
(i) The Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole. In addition, the Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable), provided that the offeror is not the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer shall in no event sell the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the REO Property other than for cash.
(j) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 20, the Servicer shall act on behalf of the Holders in negotiating and taking other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, any Servicer or any Holder, and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to any Holders with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Servicer.
(k) The proceeds of any sale of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property after deduction of the direct out-of-pocket expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day (or, if received after 3:00 p.m., two (2) Business Days) following receipt of properly identified funds, deposited in the Collection Account. Within thirty (30) days after the sale of the REO Property, the Servicer shall provide to the Holders a statement of accounting for the REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (ii) the gross sales price, the selling and other expenses and the net sales price, (iii) accrued interest on the Note A Principal Balance at the applicable Note A Interest Rate, and on the Note B Principal Balance at the applicable Note B Interest Rate calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (iv) such other information as the Holders may reasonably request. The Servicer shall file information returns regarding the abandonment or foreclosure of Mortgaged Property with the Internal Revenue Service at the time and in the manner required by the Code.
59
(l) The provisions of subsections (c) through (k) of this Section 20 shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall control.
21. Certain Powers of the Controlling Holder.
This Section 21 shall apply during the term of this Agreement; provided that from and after the Lead Securitization Date, (y) Section 21(c) and (d) shall be of no further force and effect and the analogous provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall control, and (z) Section 21(i), (j) and (k) shall be of no further force and effect.
The following provisions shall apply during the term of this Agreement:
(a) The Controlling Holder shall be entitled to appoint (or act as) a “directing lender” (the “Directing Holder”) with respect to the Mortgage Loan and to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder and the Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement (such designation to be made by written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf)); provided, that if the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party owns any portion of Note B, the ownership interests of such Person shall be deemed to equal zero for the purposes of determining which owners can vote to elect the Directing Holder, and provided, further, that in no event may the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party serve as the Directing Holder. Subject to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, such designation shall remain in effect until it is revoked by the Controlling Holder by a writing delivered to each of the other parties hereto.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to Section 21(d)), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, prior to taking any Major Decision, be required to notify in writing the Directing Holder of any proposal to take any of such actions (and to provide the Directing Holder with such information requested by such Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of such Directing Holder in order to make a judgment) and to receive the written approval of the Directing Holder (which approval may be withheld in its sole discretion);
(c) If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Directing Holder by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of written notice (“Action Notice”) of such a Major Decision (which notice shall contain a legend, in capitalized, bold-faced type containing the following statement as the top of the first page: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR MAJOR DECISION APPROVAL. IF THE DIRECTING HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED MAJOR ACTION WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, SUCH MAJOR DECISION WILL BE DEEMED APPROVED BY THE DIRECTING HOLDER”) together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b) or this Section 21(c), then if the Directing Holder fails to approve or reject the Major Decision within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Directing Holder’s approval will be deemed to have been given for such Major Decision (provided, that if the Directing Holder has
60
failed to notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) of its approval or disapproval of any such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the related Action Notice together with any information requested by the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b) or this Section 21(c), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) will be required to promptly provide to the Directing Holder a second Action Notice bearing the same legend as the first Action Notice). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts funded by any Holder under the Mortgage Loan Documents as a result of (1) the making of any protective Advances or (2) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest) with respect to the Notes shall not at any time be deemed to require prior notice to the Directing Holder (except as otherwise expressly required by this Agreement) or otherwise contravene this subsection. To the extent the Mortgage Loan Borrower requests or the Servicer or Special Servicer structures, as part of a workout or otherwise, an extension of the Mortgage Loan for two or more years beyond the Maturity Date, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain the prior written consent of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the same manner as the Directing Holder) in addition to the consent of the Directing Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(c) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.
(d) With respect to any proposed action requiring consultation with or approval of the Directing Holder pursuant to Section 21(b), the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall prepare a summary of such proposed action and an analysis of whether or not such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth the basis on which the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) made such determination, and shall promptly provide to each Holder copies of such summary and any other material documents and items reasonably necessary to make such determination by hard copy or electronic means on a timely basis. If any such proposed action is disapproved by the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall propose an alternate action (based on any counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder, to the extent such counter-proposal is consistent with Section 21(d) or, if no such counter-proposal is received by the Servicer when the disapproval of the Directing Holder is delivered to the Servicer, then based on any alternate course of action that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) may deem appropriate) until the approval of the Directing Holder is obtained; provided that if the Servicer and Directing Holder do not agree on a proposed course of action within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Servicer first proposed a course of action and the counter-proposals received from the Directing Holder would, in the judgment of the Special Servicer, be permitted to be ignored by the Special Servicer in accordance with clause (d) below), then after giving due consideration (subject to Section 21(d) hereof) to the alternatives and counterproposals, if any, provided by the Directing Holder the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall take such action as it deems appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) at a time earlier than the time that such Servicer would otherwise be entitled to take such action pursuant to this Section 21(d) or otherwise under this Agreement and (ii) such action requires consultation with and/or consent of
61
the Directing Holder, then it shall contact the Directing Holder (by telephone, email or fax) promptly and shall discuss (unless the Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder, as applicable, shall fail to respond in a reasonable time frame under the circumstances) the proposed action with such Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder, as applicable, and, if the consent of the Directing Holder would ordinarily be required, attempt to reach agreement within the revised time frame prior to taking the proposed action, but shall be entitled to take the necessary emergency action within the necessary time frame regardless of whether it has been able to contact or obtained the agreement of the Directing Holder and the Lead Securitization Note Holder. If such emergency action is taken, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) will promptly notify the Directing Holder of the action so taken, the Servicer’s reasons for determining that immediate action was necessary and how the action differs from the proposed actions, if any, that had theretofore been approved by the Directing Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(d) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date, and the analogous provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall control.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Directing Holder, as contemplated by this Section 21, or no advice, direction or objection, if any, from or by any Non-Controlling Holder, may (and the related Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Holder (or Servicer on its behalf) has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause such Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to violate applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or any section of this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, including such Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in the imposition of federal income tax on any Securitization Trust, cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, (C) expose any Securitization Trust, any certificateholder of any related Securitization, the Depositor or the depositor of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Holders, the Servicer, the Trustee or the trustee of any Non-Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator or any certificate administrator of any Non-Lead Securitization, the operating advisor of any Non-Lead Securitization or their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement.
(f) No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall owe any fiduciary duty to the trustee, any servicer, any special servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization or the other Holders. No Controlling Holder or Directing Holder shall have any liability to any of the trustee, any servicer, any special servicer, any certificateholder in any Securitization or the other Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent. Each Holder (by acceptance of its Note) acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may each have relationships and interests that conflict with those of certificateholders in any Securitization and/or the other Holders; (ii) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may act solely in their respective interests; (iii) the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder do not have any duties to any Securitization Trust, the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders; (iv) each of the Controlling Holder and the Directing Holder may take actions that favor interests of itself over the interests
62
of the certificateholders in any Securitization and/or the other Holders; (v) neither the Controlling Holder nor the Directing Holder will have any liability whatsoever to any Securitization Trust, any party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, any party to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders or any other person (including the Borrowers) for having acted in accordance with or as permitted under the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this paragraph; and (vi) the certificateholders in any Securitization or the other Holders may not take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Holder or the Directing Holder or any of the respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals thereof as a result of the Controlling Holder or the Directing Holder having acted in accordance with the terms of and as permitted under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this paragraph.
(g) The Controlling Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any such replacement Special Servicer shall be a Qualified Servicer in accordance with this Section 21(g). The Controlling Holder shall designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the Non-Controlling Holders, the Servicer and the then existing Special Servicer a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), and by delivering to Holder that is a Non-Lead Securitization a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued in such Non-Lead Securitization. The Controlling Holder shall promptly pay any expenses incurred by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) in connection with such replacement. The Controlling Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 21(g). The fees payable to any replacement Special Servicer contemplated in this Section 21(g) at any time, from and after the Lead Securitization, when the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement is no longer in effect, shall be at then market rates for such services. Upon the occurrence of the Lead Securitization governing the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, the initial Special Servicer designated in the applicable Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects the Non-Controlling Holder, the Non-Controlling Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization, the Controlling Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Controlling Holder and the Non-Controlling Holder acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at the Non-Controlling Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Holder. From and after the Lead Securitization Date, the termination and replacement of the Special Servicer shall be governed by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
(h) [Reserved.]
63
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Note B-1 Holder or the Note B-2 Holder of notice indicating that such Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder, such Note B Holder may, at its option, post with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or, if a Securitization has occurred, with the applicable Master Servicer, Special Servicer, or Trustee) (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or (b) a Letter of Credit (in each case, if there has been a Securitization, together with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer to create and perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Securitization in such collateral) (to be held by Lead Securitization Note Holder in a segregated securities account solely and exclusively in the name of each Note A Holder, meeting the Rating Agency criteria for an “eligible account” on behalf of each Note A Holder) in an amount which, when added to and for this purpose considered a part of the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, will cause the related Note B Holder to remain the Controlling Holder (such cash or Letter of Credit, “Reserve Collateral”). The applicable Note B Holder may make such election upon written notice to the Lead Securitization Note Holder of its intention to post Reserve Collateral, and upon notifying Lead Securitization Note Holder of such intention, such Note B Holder shall post such Reserve Collateral as quickly as practicable (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of the above notice) by delivering such Reserve Collateral to Lead Securitization Note Holder. The applicable Note B Holder shall grant to and create in favor of each Note A Holder a first priority perfected pledge and security interest in the Reserve Collateral in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lead Securitization Note Holder. Lead Securitization Note Holder will require an opinion, in form and substance and from counsel reasonably acceptable to Lead Securitization Note Holder, regarding the validity, perfection and priority of each Note A Holder’s interest in any Reserve Collateral. In addition, the applicable Note B Holder shall pay or cause to be paid any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Note A Holder (and any servicing party on its behalf) associated with the delivery and/or pledge of such Reserve Collateral, including the costs and expenses of any opinion of counsel. Upon the posting of such Reserve Collateral and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth above, the applicable Note B Holder shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the Controlling Holder hereunder; provided, however, that such posting of such collateral and such satisfaction of conditions shall not prevent such Note B Holder from losing its status as the Controlling Holder again (provided that such collateral shall be taken into account in determining the Mortgaged Property’s value when calculating whether such Note B Holder is no longer the Controlling Holder), in which event the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not again apply and such Note B Holder shall not again be entitled to post Reserve Collateral. Any Reserve Collateral shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such property (and the right to reimbursement of any amounts with respect thereto from a REMIC) shall be beneficially owned by such Note B Holder, who shall be taxed on all income with respect thereto. The provisions of this Section 21(i) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.
(j) Following a Final Recovery Determination with respect to the Mortgage Loan and application of all proceeds of the liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property or any REO Property, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its
64
behalf) shall be entitled to draw on or liquidate the Reserve Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to reimburse each Note A Holder for any Trust Fund Expense or Realized Loss borne or experienced by each Note A Holder, plus interest thereon from the date such Trust Fund Expenses or Realized Loss was borne or experienced to the date of reimbursement. Within ten (10) Business Days following such Final Recovery Determination and application, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall pay any remaining portion of such proceeds of the Reserve Collateral to the Note B Holder. The provisions of this Section 21(j) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.
(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Letter of Credit is posted as Reserve Collateral, then the related Note B Holder shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank in form and substance satisfactory to Lead Securitization Note Holder and each of such Rating Agencies (i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the expiration of the delivered Letter of Credit, and (ii) if the issuer of such Letter of Credit is at any time not an Approved Bank, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from Lead Securitization Note Holder to such effect. If the related Note B Holder does not effect such a replacement within the periods set forth in the preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be entitled immediately thereupon to draw on such Letter of Credit to the full extent of the amount then remaining available thereunder, in which case Lead Securitization Note Holder shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Reserve Collateral and shall be entitled to hold and apply such Reserve Collateral in the manner and for the purposes otherwise set forth above and below. The provisions of this Section 21(k) shall be of no further force and effect from and after the Lead Securitization Date.
22. Further Assurances. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that each Holder may sell all or any portion of its respective Note, subject to the rights of the other Holders and the terms of this Agreement, and the related Mortgage Loan Documents in connection with the related Securitization. At the request and at the sole cost and expense of a requesting Holder, and to the extent not already required to be provided by the other Holders under this Agreement, each Holder shall reasonably cooperate with such requesting Holder and take such steps as may be reasonably required by such requesting Holder or any Rating Agency in order to satisfy the market standards to which the requesting Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the related Securitization. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, each Holder’s agreement to:
(a) execute such amendments to this Agreement as may be requested by the requesting Holder or the Rating Agencies to effect the related Securitization, provided that no such amendments shall materially and adversely affect any of the rights or remedies granted to any Note A Holder or Note B Holder hereunder (including, without limitation, the timing and amount of payment and the rights granted to a “Controlling Holder” or “Directing Holder”) or increase the obligations of such Holder hereunder;
(b) cooperate with the reasonable requests from third-party service providers engaged by the requesting Holder to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by such Note A Holder or the Rating Agencies in connection with the Holders, the Notes or the Mortgage Loan; and
65
(c) execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents to further sever the Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Holder take any action or refrain from taking any action that would violate any law of any applicable jurisdiction, would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or would violate the REMIC Provisions of the Servicing Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement in the Servicing Agreement.
23. Reserved.
24. No Pledge or Loan. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by the Note A Holders to the Note B Holders, or a loan from the Note B Holders to the Note A Holders. The Note B Holders shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied in respect of payments due under the Mortgage Loan, then 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. The Holders acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loan represents a single “claim” under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that the Note B Holders shall not be separate creditors of the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code.
25. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. 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.
26. Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. The party seeking modification of this Agreement shall be solely responsible for any and all reasonable expenses that may arise in order to modify this Agreement. Additionally, from and after a Securitization, the Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving (i) an opinion of counsel experienced in REMIC matters that such amendment or modification, in and of itself, would not adversely affect the REMIC status of the Mortgage Loan or this Agreement, and (ii) a Rating Agency Confirmation, except that no Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with a modification (x) prior to the Lead Securitization Date, (y) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Servicing Agreement, or (z) 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, and (iii) if such modification, cancellation or termination would adversely affect the rights or materially affect the duties of any Servicer or Trustee, the written consent of such affected party.
66
27. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that no successors or assigns of any Initial Note A Holder or Initial Note B Holder shall have any liability for a breach of representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. Each Servicer and Trustee (if any) is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 8 and the preceding sentence, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto or a successor or assign of a party hereto.
28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

30. Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) telephone (confirmed in writing) or shall be in writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) 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 or, if mailed, upon the earlier to occur of receipt or the expiration of the fourth (4th) day following the date of mailing.
31. Note Holder’s Access to Information. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Interim Servicer) shall provide to the other Holders and, from and after the Lead Securitization Date, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that such other Holders shall have access to, upon written request to the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subject to any restrictions on the distribution of such information contained in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (a) a summary of the current status of principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, (b) copies of the Mortgage Loan Borrower’s current financial statements, to the extent in the Servicer’s possession, (c) the most recent appraisal, if any, as to the value of the Mortgaged Property, to the extent in the Servicer’s possession, (d) a copy of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (e) copies of any default or acceleration notices sent to the Mortgage Loan Borrower with respect to the Mortgage Loan and all material correspondence related thereto, (f) material notices delivered to any Servicer by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (g) copies of each other report provided to the Certificateholders in accordance with the express terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (but only to the extent such other reports relate to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower), and (h) other information with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgage Loan, reasonably requested by such other Holder, to the extent required to be provided by the Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and in the Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Servicer,
67
in each case at the sole cost and expense of such other Holder, to the extent not included in the regular fees and charges of the Servicer (with respect to all out-of-pocket and the reasonable administrative and photocopying costs of the Servicer).
32. Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. Prior to the Lead Securitization Date, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes, which will be held by the Holders thereof) will be held by a third-party custodian jointly selected by the Holders. From and after the Lead Securitization Date, originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Standalone Notes not included in the Lead Securitization, which will be held by the Holders thereof) shall be held by the Servicer, Trustee or custodian on its behalf, or other applicable Person under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.
33. Statement of Intent. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income, this Agreement shall be treated as creating a “grantor trust” (within the meaning of Code Section 671). The terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention of the parties. The parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Trustee (if any) on its behalf) shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such intended characterization. Each other Holders, by its acceptance of its interest herein, agrees, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, to file its own tax returns and reports in a manner consistent with such characterization.

In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to (i) through (iv), as certified by the applicable Initial Holder, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master 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 Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal.
