(b)  The Master Servicer shall be the lead 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 Servicing 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 principal and interest Advances on any Note in the Lead Securitization, if and to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.  The Master Servicer or Trustee shall be required to provide written notice to the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee of any principal and interest Advance it has made with respect to the Lead Securitization Note within two (2) Business Days of making such Advance.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Servicing Advance, first from funds on deposit in each of the Collection Account and the Companion Distribution Account that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account and Companion Distribution 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 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 Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing 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 Servicing Advances, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization as provided below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any Advance Interest Amounts on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (including from general collections or any other amounts from the Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or Advance Interest Amounts.

19

The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees to indemnify (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties against any Indemnified Items) to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency (including, if the Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust).

 

The Non-Lead Master Servicer may be required to make principal and interest Advances on a Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a principal and interest Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.  The Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a principal and interest Advance to be made on a Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify each other servicer and trustee with respect to a Securitization of the amount of its principal and interest Advance within two (2) 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, the Non-Lead Special Servicer or the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note),

 



20



 


determines that a proposed principal and interest Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding principal and interest 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 Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing 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) shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee, or the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, within two (2) Business Days of making such determination.  Each of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a principal and interest Advance that becomes non-recoverable and Advance Interest Amounts thereon first from the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account from amounts allocable to the Mortgage Loan for which such principal and interest Advance was made, and then, if funds are insufficient, (i) in the case of the Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Non-Lead Securitization Note, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)  At any time after the Securitization Date that the Lead Securitization Note is no longer subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced in accordance with the servicing provisions set forth in the Servicing Agreement or a Substitute Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall have no further obligations to advance monthly payments of principal or interest; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any nationally recognized commercial mortgage loan servicer appointed by Lead Securitization Noteholder and the special servicer appointed by the Controlling Noteholder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement; provided, further, however, that until a replacement servicing agreement has been entered into, the if a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such Asset Review by providing the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent (x) such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and (y) the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer has not been able to obtain such documents from the related mortgage loan seller.

(i)         such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Servicing Advances (and Advance Interest Amounts thereon) and any additional trust fund expenses, but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, any unpaid special servicing fees, liquidation fees and workout fees relating to the Notes, and that in the event that the funds received with respect to the Notes are insufficient to cover such Servicing Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (A) the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, or the Lead Securitization Trust, as applicable, out of general funds in the Collection Account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (together with Advance Interest Amounts thereon) and/or additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property), and (B) if the Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general account, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may do so, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (together with Advance Interest Amounts thereon) and/or additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property);

 



23



 


(ii)        each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of Servicing Agreement and, in the case of the Lead Securitization Trust, to the extent of any additional trust fund expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loan) by the Non-Lead Securitization Trust, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account that are allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Non-Lead Securitization Note’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

 

(iii)       the Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Trustee or Non-Lead Certificate Administrator will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor (i) promptly following the Non-Lead Securitization, notice of the deposit of the Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust (which notice may be (x) in the form of delivery (which may be by email) of a copy of the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or (y) by email notification together with contact information for the Non-Lead Trustee, the Non-Lead Certificate Administrator, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Trustee or the party designated to exercise the rights of the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder as a “Non-Controlling Noteholder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information) (which may be in the form of email delivery of a copy of such notice); and

 

(iv)       the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

 

(g)
Each Lead Securitization Noteholder shall:

 

(i)         give each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder notice of the Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note in writing (which may be by email) prior to the applicable pricing date for the Lead Securitization, together with contact information for each of the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement; and

 

(ii)        send to each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder and the parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also party to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (x) on or promptly following the Lead Securitization Date (to the extent the applicable parties to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement have been engaged by the related Non-Lead Depositor on or prior to the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in EDGAR-compatible format) of the execution version of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (y) within (1) one Business Day after the date of any re-filing by the Depositor of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with

 



24



 


the Commission to account for any changes thereto (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date), a copy (in EDGAR-compatible format) of the re-filed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and (z) promptly following distribution thereof to the parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, any changes made by the Depositor to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than a formal amendment thereto following the Lead Securitization Date).

 

(h)  The Servicing Agreement shall provide that compensating interest payments as defined therein with respect to any Notes will be allocated by the Master Servicer between the Notes, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Principal Balances.  The Master Servicer shall remit any compensating interest payment in respect of and Non-Lead Securitization Note to the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder.

 

(i)   In the event any filing is required to be made by any Non-Lead Depositor under the related Servicing Agreement in order to comply with the Non-Lead Depositor’s requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the related Lead Securitization Noteholder (including the Depositor and Trustee) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely comply with any such filing.

 

(j)   If a Non-Lead Securitization Note becomes the subject of an Asset Review pursuant to the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with such Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with such Asset Review by providing such Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents reasonably requested by such Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer, but only to the extent that such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and are not in the possession of the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer (and the Non-Lead Asset Representations Reviewer has informed such party that it has first requested, and not received, the documents from the master servicer, special servicer and custodian for the applicable Non-Lead Securitization).

 

Section 3.        Payments.  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 or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements that are required 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, to the extent permitted by the REMIC Provisions), 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 Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable to any Servicer (excluding master servicing fees, trustee fees, certificate administrator fees, operating advisor fees and asset representations reviewer fees, all of which shall be payable by each of the Noteholders to such parties out of distributions made to them in respect of such Note), with respect to the

 



25



 


Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (such amounts contemplated by clauses (x) and (y), “Withheld Amounts”), shall be distributed by the Master Servicer in the following order of priority without duplication (and payments shall be made at such times as are set forth in the Servicing Agreement):

 

(a)      first, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, to each Noteholder in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Balance for each Note at the applicable Net Interest Rate;

 

(b)     second, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis based on the outstanding Principal Balances of each Note, to each Noteholder in an amount equal to the principal payments received, if any, with respect to such Monthly Payment Date with respect to the Mortgage Loan, until such Principal Balance for each Note has been reduced to zero;

 

(c)      third, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, to each Noteholder up to the amount of any unreimbursed costs and expenses paid by such Noteholder including any unreimbursed trust fund expenses not previously reimbursed to such Noteholder (or paid or advanced by any Servicer on its behalf and not previously paid or reimbursed) with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement;

 

(d)     fourth, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, any Prepayment Premium, to the extent paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, shall be paid to each Noteholder in an amount up to its pro rata interest therein, based on the product of the applicable Percentage Interest multiplied by the applicable Relative Spread;

 

(e)      fifth, if any excess amount is available to be distributed in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(d), any remaining amount shall be paid pro rata to each Noteholder in accordance with their respective initial Percentage Interests.

 

All expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation losses of principal and interest, Servicing Advances, Advance Interest Amounts, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees, Appraisal Reduction Amounts and certain other trust expenses, shall be allocated on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.  Any realized losses (including reductions by a bankruptcy court) applied to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be reimbursed on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis after all amounts of interest and principal have otherwise been paid in full on all the Notes.

 

Section 4.        Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(a)  Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) 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

 



26



 


or other remedy and no other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan except as set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.  Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f) below) and consistent with the Servicing Standard, each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

 

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) to sell each Non-Lead Note together with the Lead Securitization Note as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.  In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Non-Lead Note together with the Lead Securitization Note in the manner set forth in the Servicing Agreement and shall be required to require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing and be accompanied by a refundable deposit of cash in an amount equal to 5% of the offer amount (subject to a cap of $2,500,000).  Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Notes shall be determined by the Trustee; provided, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two bona fide other offers are received from independent third parties.  In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for such Notes, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with the Servicing Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal.  The Trustee shall select the Appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal.  In determining whether any such offer constitutes a fair price for such Notes, the Trustee shall instruct the Appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the Servicing Agreement), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Notes, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.  The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent Appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Noteholders in connection with making such determination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall not be permitted to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes if they become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder (provided that such consent is not required if such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder:

 



27



 


(a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes; (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 (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) reasonably requested by the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder that are material to the price of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes 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 Controlling 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 the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence.  Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, each of the Controlling Noteholder, the Controlling Class Representative, any other Noteholder (or any controlling class representative or directing holder on its behalf under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Note unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

Each Non-Lead Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of its Non-Lead Note.  Each Non-Lead Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, such Non-Lead Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver its original Non-Lead Note endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

 

The authority and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to sell each Non-Lead Note, and the obligations of each Non-Lead Noteholder to execute and deliver instruments or deliver its Non-Lead Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which no Note is held in a Securitization.  The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Noteholder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by such seller or any document delivery obligation imposed on such seller under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that may be executed or delivered by such seller in connection with the Lead Securitization.

 

(b)  The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.  Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard.  Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and consistent with the Servicing Standard.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Lead

 



28



 


Securitization Noteholder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and each Non-Lead Noteholder who is not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. 

 

(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(f)), if the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Interest Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout shall be borne by the Noteholders (pro rata based on the Principal Balances of their respective Notes), in each case up to the amount otherwise due on such Note(s). 

 

(d) All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicers on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.  Each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be provided access to any website that an investor would be permitted to access in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement, it being understood and agreed that each Non-Lead Noteholder is subject to any restrictions on the access to such websites contained in the Servicing Agreement.

 

(e)  If any Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:  (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Noteholders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) 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 Noteholders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Lead Securitization Note (or any portion thereof).  The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 4(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein.  All costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 4(e), to the extent that such costs and expenses relate to administration of a REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount,

 



29



 


payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense, shall be borne by each Noteholder with respect to the REMIC containing the Note owned by such Noteholder.

 

Anything herein or in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Note is included in a REMIC and the other Notes are not, the other Noteholders shall not be required to reimburse such Noteholder that deposited its Note in the REMIC or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to either such other Noteholder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

 

(f)  (i)   Subject to clauses (ii) or (iii) below, with respect to any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Mortgage Loan (whether or not a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Major Decision, the Servicer shall provide the Controlling Noteholder with at least ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) prior notice requesting consent to the requested Major Decision.  The Servicer shall not take any action with respect to such Major Decision (or make a determination not to take action with respect to such Major Decision), unless and until the Special Servicer receives the written consent of the Controlling Noteholder before implementing a decision with respect to such Major Decision. 

 

(ii)        If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) has not received a response from the Controlling Noteholder with respect to such Major Decision within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the notice of a Major Decision, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deliver an additional copy of the notice of a Major Decision in all caps bold 14-point font:  “THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE.  FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF THIS SECOND NOTICE WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF YOUR RIGHT TO CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THIS DECISION.” and if the Controlling Noteholder fails to respond to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) with respect to any such proposed action within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, the Controlling Noteholder, as applicable, shall have no further consent rights with respect to the specific action set forth in such notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Controlling Noteholder if the Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, and the Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Noteholder.  The foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a Servicer acting on its behalf) of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

 

(iii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) shall not follow any advice or consultation provided by the

 



30



 


Controlling Noteholder that would require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC Provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, require or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, or materially expand the scope of any Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or any Servicer acting on its behalf) responsibilities under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

 

The Special Servicer shall be required to provide copies to each Non-Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions, or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Controlling Noteholder, and at any time the Controlling Noteholder is the Lead Securitization Noteholder, the Special Servicer shall be required to consult with each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Securitization Noteholder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders, whether or not such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholders have responded within such ten (10) Business Day period.

 

The Noteholders acknowledge that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain certain provisions that give the Operating Advisor certain non-binding consultation rights with respect to Major Decisions related to compliance with the Risk Retention Rules applicable to the Lead Securitization.

 

(g)  The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall obtain Appraisals that meet the requirements of, and at the times required pursuant to, the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

 

(h)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Servicing Agreement, if at any time the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party is a Noteholder (a “Borrower Party Noteholder”), then (i) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall not have any rights as a Controlling Noteholder or a Controlling Class Representative, (ii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to appoint or terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, (iii) such Borrower Party Noteholder shall have no right to consult with or advise the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, and shall have no right to review and approve or comment on any Asset Status Report and (iv) in each and every instance where, pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer must take into account the interests of each Noteholder (or words of similar import), such consideration shall be given to the Borrower Party Noteholder only in its capacity as a holder of the applicable Note.

 



31



 


Section 5.        Special Servicer.  The Controlling Noteholder, at its expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of counsel to any third parties and costs and expenses of the terminated Special Servicer), shall have the right, at any time from time to time, to appoint a replacement Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan.  The Controlling Noteholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with or without cause, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Special Servicer (provided, however, that the Controlling Noteholder shall not be liable for any termination or similar fee in connection with the removal of the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 5); such termination not be effective unless and until (A) each Rating Agency delivers a Rating Agency Confirmation (to the extent any portion of the Mortgage Loan has been securitized); (B) the initial or successor Special Servicer has assumed in writing (from and after the date such successor Special Servicer becomes the Special Servicer) all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement from and after the date it becomes the Special Servicer as they relate to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (C) the Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that (x) the designation of such replacement to serve as Special Servicer is in compliance with the Servicing Agreement, (y) such replacement will be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (z) subject to customary qualifications and exceptions, the applicable Servicing Agreement will be enforceable against such replacement in accordance with its terms.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall promptly provide copies to any terminated Special Servicer of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder will reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Noteholder in order to satisfy the foregoing conditions, including the Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

The Controlling Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement may contain provisions such that any Special Servicer could be terminated under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement based on a recommendation by the Operating Advisor if (A) the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the holders of securities issued under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as a collective whole) and (B) an affirmative vote of requisite certificateholders is obtained.  The Controlling Noteholder will retain its right to remove and replace the Special Servicer, but the Controlling Noteholder may not restore a Special Servicer that has been removed in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

Section 6.        Payment Procedure.

 

(a)  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account or Companion Distribution Account for the Notes established pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall establish a segregated sub-account for amounts due to the each Noteholder.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days following the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s

 



32



 


(or the Servicer’s acting on its behalf) receipt of properly identified and available funds from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

(b)  If the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of a Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to such Noteholder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to such Noteholder and such Noteholder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) repay to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have theretofore distributed to such Noteholder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have been required to pay to the Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, any other Noteholder or such other Person with respect thereto.

 

(c)  If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any payment to any other Noteholder before the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) does not receive the corresponding payment within three (3) Business Days of its payment to such other Noteholder, then such other Noteholder will, at the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s (or the Servicer’s on its behalf) request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf).

 

(d) Each Noteholder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any other Noteholder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such other Noteholder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 6 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) enforce the obligations of one Noteholder against another Noteholder.  Each Noteholder’s obligations under this Section 6 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

 

Section 7.        Limitation on Liability of the Noteholders.  No Noteholder (including any Servicer on a Noteholder’s behalf, but only to the extent that the Servicing Agreement does not impose any other standard upon any Servicer, in which case the Servicing Agreement shall control) shall have any liability to any other Noteholder except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Noteholder.

 



33



 


Each Noteholder acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any other Noteholder may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that such Noteholder may have under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of each other Noteholder and that such Noteholder shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s exercise of rights or any omission by such Noteholder to exercise such rights; provided, however, that such Noteholder shall not be protected against any liability to any other Noteholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

 

Section 8.        Bankruptcy.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) 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 winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) hereof and the Servicing Standard, each Noteholder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Noteholder, as a creditor, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(f), the Noteholders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Noteholder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Noteholder 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 Controlling Noteholder 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 Noteholders, hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder but subject to the provisions of Section 4(f), each other Noteholder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant.  All actions taken by any Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Representations of the Initial Noteholder.  The Initial Noteholder 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,

The Initial Noteholder acknowledges that no other Noteholder owes such Noteholder any fiduciary duty with respect to any action taken under the Mortgage Loan Documents and, except as provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement, need not consult with such Noteholder with respect to any action taken by such Noteholder in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 10.       Independent
Analysis of the Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Initial
Noteholder, except with respect to the representations and warranties provided by the Initial Noteholder herein and in any

Initial Noteholder 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.  Each Noteholder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its Note except as specifically set forth
herein.

 

Section 11.      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 or among any of the Noteholders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.  None of the Noteholders shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future loans originated by such Noteholder or its Affiliates, and if such Noteholder chooses to offer to any other Noteholder the opportunity to purchase a Note interest in any future mortgage loans originated by the such Noteholder or their respective Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as the offering Noteholder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion.  No Noteholder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Noteholder an interest in any future loans originated by such Noteholder or their respective Affiliates.

 

Section 12.      Not a Security.  No Note shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 



35



 


 


Section 13.      Other Business Activities of the Noteholders.  Each Noteholder acknowledges that each other Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, (i) (a) the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (b) any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (c) any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or (d) any Affiliate of any direct or indirect parent of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, (ii) any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of the holder of such debt, or (iii) any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate of a holder of such preferred equity (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 Noteholder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of its Note except in accordance with this Section 14.  Each Noteholder agrees it shall not Transfer more than 49% (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in its Note, except to a Qualified Institutional Lender, unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Noteholders have consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee (and its Affiliates) shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Institutional Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Institutional Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (iii) such Transfer is in connection with a sale by a Securitization Trust; provided that if such Transfer is a Transfer of the Lead Note, such Transfer is to a Qualified Institutional Lender.  With respect to any Transfers pursuant to (i) or (ii) above (except with respect to a Transfer to a Securitization Trust) such transferee must (x) assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Noteholder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Servicing Agreement and (y) remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Noteholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Noteholder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non transferring Noteholder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the Depositor to rate the securities issued in connection with such Securitization, no Noteholder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to a 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.  None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)  Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by a Noteholder to an Affiliate, prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Noteholder shall provide to the other Noteholders and, if any Securitization Trust is are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 14, such certification to include (1) the name and contact information of the transferee and (2) if applicable, a certification by the transferee that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

 



36



 


(c)  In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholders and any Persons acting on their behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholders a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholders, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Controlling Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

 

(d) The Noteholders acknowledge and agree that, to the extent specifically required, any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Noteholder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(e)  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without (a) prior to the first Securitization of any Note, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) after the closing of the first Securitization of any Note, Rating Agency Confirmation.  Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to each other Noteholder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each other Noteholder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees:  (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to each other Noteholder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to each other Noteholder and any Servicer by such

 



37



 


Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement.  Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Noteholder and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee.  Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement.  In such event, the Noteholders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Noteholder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Noteholder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

 

(f)         Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)         The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

(ii)        The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Moody’s rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;

 

(iii)       Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

 

(iv)       The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit,

 



38



 


and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

 

(v)        Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not, without obtaining the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

 

Section 15.      Registration of Transfer.  In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding (x) any participant and (y) any Note Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.  In connection with a Transfer of a Note, 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 Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Upon a Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.

 

Section 16.      Registration of the Notes.  The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes.  The Agent shall serve as the initial Note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment.  The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Note owing to each such Noteholder, shall be registered in the Note Register.  The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the Initial Noteholder who may hold its Notes through a nominee.  Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders.  To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Noteholders hereby designate such person as its agent under this Section 16 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.  The parties intend for the Notes to be in registered form for federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

 

Section 17.      Statement of Intent.  The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified, and the arrangement hereby be maintained, in a manner consistent with rules applicable to a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification.  It is neither the purpose nor the intent

 



39



 


of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

 

Section 18.      No Pledge.  This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Mortgage Loan by the Noteholders.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Noteholder shall have any interest in any property taken as security for the Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then each Non-Lead Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 19.      Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF.

(b)  CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

 

(c)  AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

 



40



 


(d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

Section 21.      Modifications; Amendment.  This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Noteholder.  Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Noteholders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification or amendment (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 Servicing Agreement, (ii) entered into pursuant to Section 32 of this Agreement or (iii) to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 22.      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 permitted assigns.

Subject to Section 14, each Noteholder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement.  Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Noteholder hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments and grant additional Notes.

 

Section 23.      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 25.      Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the Lead Securitization, the originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Notes) shall be held by the Custodian.

In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 31, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

 

The Agent may resign at any time upon notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Noteholders, has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder.  CCRE, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Noteholder.  CCRE, as Initial Agent, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause such Servicer to act as successor Agent, and, if such Servicer declines to act in such capacity, shall promptly and diligently attempt to cause a similar servicer to act as successor Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of the Initial Agent or any successor thereto prior to such Securitization without any further notice or other action.  The termination or resignation of the Certificate Administrator, as Certificate Administrator under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Certificate Administrator as Agent under this Agreement. 

 

Section 32.      Resizing.  In connection with the Mortgage Loan, each Noteholder agrees, subject to clause (iii) below, that if a Noteholder determines that it is advantageous to resize its Note by causing the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated or additional pari passu notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of such Note to such New Notes, each Noteholder other than the resizing Noteholder shall cooperate with the resizing Noteholder to effect such resizing at such resizing Noteholder’s expense; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is no greater than the principal balance of such Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, (ii) the weighted average Interest Rate of all outstanding New Notes following the creation thereof is the same as the Interest Rate of the related Note or Notes immediately prior to the creation of the New Notes, and (iii) no such resizing shall (x) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to, any other Noteholder, or priority of such payments, or (y) increase any other Noteholder’s obligations or decrease any other Noteholder’s rights, remedies or protections.  In connection with any resizing of a Note, the related Noteholder may allocate its rights hereunder among the New Notes in any manner in its sole discretion. 

 

Section 33.      Conflict.  To the extent of any inconsistency between the Servicing Agreement, on one hand, and this Agreement, on the other, this Agreement shall control.
