60 

assignment of the rights of the Borrower and the Lenders under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding itis held that the Servicer may not enforce an Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not an actual party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary toenforce such Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name.

The remaining Segregated Collateral Pool shall constitute the Segregated Collateral Pool with respect to Morgan Stanley, as Primary Lender, and its Related Lenders. The division of the Pledged Receivables (and the related PledgedAssets) in accordance with this subsection (b) into Segregated Collateral Pools and the designation of each such Segregated Collateral Pool to the related Lenders shall be hereinafter referred to as the “CollateralSplit”.
