pursuant to Section 3.5, the Company shall not be liable for, and the Manager, the Private Owner 

and their respective Affiliates shall not seek reimbursement from the Company or any Member 

(other than, as to any such Member that is an Affiliate of the Person so seeking reimbursement, 

as may separately be agreed by such Member, without recourse to or reimbursement from the 

Company) for, any expenses or costs incurred after the formation of the Company by the 

Manager, the Private Owner and/or their respective Affiliates on behalf of or for the benefit of 

the Company. 

(f) This Section 3.1 is subject to any express requirement of direct Initial 

Member consent set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, including in Sections 2.6, 3.4, 3.8, li, 

8.2, 8.8(a), 2.,_1, 12.1, 12.7(b), 12.14, 12.15, 12.18, 13.5 and 13.12. Any purported action by the 

Company or the Manager requiring the consent of the Initial Member under this Agreement shall 

be null and void ab initio unless and until the Initial Member's prior written consent is obtained. 

3.2. Removal of Manager. Upon an Event of Default (and so long as the Private 

Owner is then the Manager), any Required Consenting Party may remove the Private Owner as 

the Manager and appoint a successor Manager in the sole discretion of such Required Consenting 

Party in accordance with Section 12.4, whereupon such successor Manager shall immediately 

succeed to all, or such portion as the Required Consenting Parties and successor Manager agree, 

of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the "Manager" hereunder, and the predecessor 

Manager shall promptly take such actions as may be reasonably requested by any Required 

Consenting Party to facilitate the transition to such successor Manager. In the event of any 

conflict between any instructions (or any determinations) of the Initial Member and the PMN 

Agent (while it is a Required Consenting Party) in connection with any such removal or 

replacement, the instructions and determinations of the PMN Agent shall prevail. 

3.3. Employees and Services. After the Closing Date, the Manager shall cause to be 

made available to the Company, from time to time, employees, facilities and support services in 

a manner and to an extent reasonably required for it to fulfill its duties and obligations as the 

Manager and for the day-to-day operation of the Business. If necessary to meet the foregoing 

requirements, the Manager shall enter into contractual arrangements to secure employees, 

facilities and support services from third parties (including its Affiliates); provided, however, 

that the Manager shall at all times provide for the Servicing (other than Asset Management 

retained by the Manager in accordance with Section 12.3(b)) to be conducted through the 

Servicer under contract with the Manager (in its individual capacity) in accordance with 

Article XII and the safekeeping of the Notes and other Asset Documents by a Custodian under 

contract with the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 3. 7 below. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.3, (i) the Company shall not 

have any employees, (ii) no employees of the Manager or any third party (including any Affiliate 

of the Manager) shall be deemed to be employees of the Company, (iii) any contractual

the Company shall be relationships between the third parties (or Affiliates and the Manager) and 

the Manager (and not the Company) and shall not relieve the Manager of its obligations or any 

liability hereunder, and (iv) no expenses incurred to secure or maintain employees (or 

independent contractors performing relevant services for the day-to-day operation of the 

Company in lieu of performance of the same by such employees), facilities or support services 

shall be an expense of the Company unless the same is expressly reimbursable by the Company 

pursuant to the provisions of Article XII below or is otherwise expressly set forth in this 

Agreement or in any other Transaction Documents to be an expense ofthe Company. 

3.4. Restrictions on Manager and Private Owner. Neither the Private Owner nor, 

notwithstanding any delegation of authority to it hereunder, the Manager may or shall in any 

event (x) do, or cause the Company to do, any act or take, or cause the Company to take, any 

action in contravention of any Law, or (y) take any of the following actions on behalf of, or with 

respect to, the Company, or otherwise cause the Company to take any of the following actions, in

indicated on the Asset Schedule), it being understood that for purposes of the foregoing the sale 

or other disposition of an Ownership Entity (or any voting or equity interest therein) shall 

constitute a sale or other disposition of the Acquired Property (including any Acquired REO 

Property) held directly or indirectly by such Ownership Entity; 

(vi) incurring any liability on behalf of the Company (other than

Property (or any portion thereof) to the Manager, the Private Owner, the Servicer, any

contained in) the provisions of this Agreement, the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement, the 

Reimbursement, Security and Guaranty Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement;

under the applicable Asset Documents; 

(xiv) reimbursing the Manager for any expense or cost incurred by (or 

paid by) any Affiliate of any of the Company, the Private Owner or the Manager, the Servicer or

3.5. Related Party Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall 

enter into any Related Party Agreement, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein 

or in any other Transaction Document to which the Initial Member is a party or as may be 

approved by both Members. 

3.6. Real Property. The Company shall not take title in its own name to any Acquired 

REO Property, and any acquisition or ownership of any such Acquired REO Property shall be 

subject to Sections 12.17 and 12.18 and the relevant terms of the Servicing Agreement. 

3.7. Custodian and Paying Agent. The Manager shall cause the Company to retain 

and enter into and, at all times, be a party to a written custodial agreement with a Custodian (as 

selected by the Company in accordance herewith), and such Custodian shall at all times have 

custody and possession of the Notes and other Custodial Documents (subject to the applicable 

provisions herein and in such custodial agreement with respect to the release thereof). The 

Manager shall also cause the Company to retain and enter into and, at all times, be a party to a 

written paying agency agreement with a Paying Agent (as selected by the Company in 

accordance herewith), which Paying Agent shall receive and distribute Asset Proceeds in 

accordance with such paying agency agreement. Such Custodian and Paying Agent shall be (and 

remain) a Qualified Custodian and Paying Agent acceptable to and approved by the Initial 

Member and the PMN Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or 

conditioned. Except as may be determined by the Initial Member in connection with an exercise 

of its rights under Section 13.5 below, the Custodian and the Paying Agent shall be a single (and 

the same) Person; and the custodial and paying agency functions shall be performed on the terms 

set forth in the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement (which shall be in a form acceptable to 

the Initial Member). At no time shall the Company have more than one Custodian or one Paying

Person. The fees and expenses paid to the Custodian and Paying Agent shall be no more than 

market rates and the Custodian and Paying Agent may be terminated by the Company (with the 

consent of the PMN Agent) or the PMN Agent upon no more than thirty days notice provided to 

it, without cause under the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. For purposes of 

clarification, the parties acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date, the Custodial and Paying 

Agency Agreement delivered on the Closing Date is acceptable to the Initial Member, including 

as to the fees and expenses expressly set forth therein. In the event that the Manager removes, or 

causes the Company (or the Servicer or any Subservicer) to remove, any Notes or other 

Custodial Documents from the possession of the Custodian (which shall be done only in 

accordance with the relevant Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement), (i) any loss or 

destruction of or damage to such Notes or Custodial Documents shall be the personal liability of 

the Manager (who, along with the relevant Servicer or Subservicer(s), shall be responsible for 

safeguarding such Notes and Custodial Documents when not in possession of the Custodian), 

and (ii) such Notes shall be returned to the Custodian within the time provided under the 

applicable Uniform Commercial Code to maintain the perfection of the secured party's security 

interest therein by possession. If any Notes or other Custodial Documents are removed in 

connection with the modification, restructuring or foreclosure of a Loan, the modified or 

restructured Notes and other Custodial Documents removed in connection therewith shall be 

returned to the Custodian as soon as possible following the completion of the restructuring, 

modification or foreclosure (and, in any event, in accordance with clause (ii) of the immediately

are retained by the applicable court the Manager shall request that the court return, and such 

Notes and other Custodial Documents shall be returned to the Custodian as soon as possible after 

they are released by such court. The Manager shall (i) ensure that the Initial Member receives a 

copy of each demand, notice or other communication given by the Manager (including by the 

Manager on behalf of the Company) under the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement at the 

time that such notice or other communication is given thereunder and (ii) require that a copy of 

each demand, notice or other communication given to the Manager (including to the Manager as 

the manager of the Company) under the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement is to be given 

to the Initial Member at the time that such notice or other communication is given thereunder. 

3.8. Relationships with Borrowers, etc. Except as otherwise consented to by the Initial 

Member, none of the Private Owner, the Manager or any Affiliate of either shall, at any time, 

(i) be an Affiliate of or a partner or joint venturer with any Borrower or Obligor, (ii) be an agent 

of any Borrower or Obligor, or allow any Borrower or Obligor to be an agent of the Manager or 

the Company, or (iii) except as is otherwise contemplated by the Company's ownership of the 

Assets and its right to hold Acquired Property, have any interest whatsoever in any Borrower, 

Obligor or other obligor with respect to any Asset or any of the Collateral. 

3.9. No Conflicting Obligations. The Manager shall cause the Company to comply 

with the Transaction Documents in accordance with their terms, and shall not, at any time, enter 

into or become a party to any agreement that would conflict with the terms of this Agreement. 

3.1 0. Compliance with Law. The Manager shall, and shall cause the Company to, at all 

times, (i) comply with applicable Law in connection with the performance or exercise of its 

rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) without limiting the 

generality of clause (i) and subject to Section 4.3, be duly authorized and qualified to transact 

any and all business to be conducted by it in any state in which an Asset is located and comply 

with the doing business laws of any such state, in each case described in this clause (ii) to the 

extent necessary to ensure its ability to manage the Assets in accordance with the terms of this 

Agreement and to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with 

the terms hereof. 

3.11. No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither the Manager nor the Private Owner may cause or 

permit the Company to: (i) file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy, (ii) file a petition or answer 

seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, 

receivership or similar relief under any Law, (iii) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, 

(iv) seek, consent or acquiesce in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of all or any 

substantial part of its properties, (v) file an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to 

contest the material allegations of (x) a petition filed against it in any proceeding described in 

clauses (i) through (iv), or (y) any order adjudging it a bankrupt or insolvent or for relief against 

it in any bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceeding, (vi) allow itself to become unable to pay its 

obligations as they become due, or (g) institute any proceedings to set aside or void any transfer 

of an interest in property (or to recover the value thereof) or other transaction on the grounds that 

such transfer or other transaction constituted a fraudulent conveyance or a preferential transfer 

(or on similar grounds).

3.12. No Liens. The Manager shall not (i) cause the Company to place or (ii) permit 

(voluntarily or involuntarily) to be placed, or to exist, any Lien on any of the Assets, the 

Collateral, the Asset Documents, or the Asset Proceeds, except for Permitted Liens; and the 

Manager shall not take any action to interfere with the PMN Agent's rights as a secured party 

with respect to Assets, the Collateral and the Asset Proceeds.

Sections 3.2 and 12.4;

(iii) purchase (or cause a designee to purchase) the Private Owner 

Interest pursuant to Section 3.14; 

(iv) designate itself or any applicable transferee Member as the 

Manager hereunder; and/ or 

(v) with or without notice to or demand upon the Private Owner 

(except as may be required by Law), exercise any or all rights and remedies with respect to the 

Secured Assets and any Qualifying Letter of Credit, specifically including the right (A) to 

foreclose on the Private Owner Interest and transfer such Private Owner Interest to a third party 

(it being agreed that none of the Private Owner, the Manager or any of their Affiliates shall 

participate in any sale of the Private Owner Interest without the written consent of the Initial 

Member), (B) to draw upon any Qualifying Letter of Credit, by presenting to the applicable 

Issuing Bank one or more drafts or demands and any other necessary documents, and to receive 

(in a lump sum or in several sums from time to time at the sole discretion of the Initial Member) 

any or all amounts available for drawing under such Qualifying Letter of Credit, and/or (C) to 

exercise any rights under the Private Owner Pledged Account Control Agreement (or otherwise) 

with respect to the Private Owner Pledged Account, including the right to assume exclusive 

control over the Private Owner Pledged Account and to cause the funds therein to be remitted (in 

a lump sum or in several sums from time to time at the sole discretion of the Initial Member) to 

or at the direction of the Initial Member. The Initial Member shall have the right to apply any or 

all proceeds of the Secured Assets or any Qualifying Letter of Credit to payment of the Private 

Owner Obligations in such order, and with such priority as among any such Private Owner 

Obligations, as the Initial Member may determined in its sole discretion. 

The removal of the Private Owner as a Member shall be subject to Section 8.4. 

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Initial Member 

determines to exercise its remedies against any Secured Assets or any Qualifying Letter of 

Credit, it shall have the absolute right to deduct from the proceeds of such exercise of remedies 

13

Version 3.1 

EXECUTION VERSION 

v.9 
(including proceeds of any foreclosure sale with respect to the Private Owner Interest, any 

drawing on a Qualifying Letter of Credit and any receipt of funds from the Private Owner 

Pledged Account), (i) any Losses arising out of or resulting from such Event of Default incurred 

by the Indemnified Parties, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and 

disbursements) incurred by the Initial Member in connection with enforcing its rights and 

remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) any Private Owner 

Obligations then due and payable (all of the foregoing in each case in such order as the Initial 

Member may determine in its sole discretion); provided that the Initial Member may, in its sole 

discretion, hold any such proceeds as additional security for any existing or future (including 

contingent) Private Owner Obligations. Without limitation of the foregoing, in no event shall the 

Initial Member have any obligation (but it shall at all times have the right in its sole discretion) to 

use or apply any proceeds of the Secured Assets toward payment of any Private Owner 

Obligations owing to the Company or any Indemnified Party other than the Initial Member 

(whether or not the same are due and payable), and the Private Owner shall remain fully 

obligated to pay and perform all such Private Owner Obligations owing to the Company and 

each such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any such election by the Initial Member to so 

refrain from applying such proceeds toward payment of the same; and, in the event that, for any 

reasons any such proceeds of the Secured Assets are used for payment of any Private Owner 

Obligations owing to the Company, any and all rights of the Private Owner to payments, 

reimbursements or distributions from the Company on account of any such payment to the 

Company (including rights to any repayment of any deemed Excess Working Capital Advances, 

to the extent any such proceeds are used to fund the same), shall be considered as part of the 

Secured Assets and shall, to the extent paid or payable by the Company, be paid directly to the 

Initial Member (and the Initial Member shall have the right to direct the Paying Agent to so remit 

to the Initial Member any applicable distributions or payments by the Paying Agent with respect 

thereto) to be held and applied by the Initial Member as part of the proceeds of the Secured 

Assets (as collateral for the Private Owner Obligations). Any Secured Assets or proceeds thereof 

as held by the Initial Member may be commingled with the Initial Member's own funds, without 

any need to pay interest or income thereon. Upon indefeasible payment and performance in full 

of all of the Private Owner Obligations (following the dissolution of the Company), any 

remaining unapplied proceeds (from an exercise of remedies by the Initial Member against the 

rights of the Private Owner to the Secured Assets or any Qualifying Letter of Credit) so held by 

the Initial Member, shall be released to the Private Owner (or such other Person as may have 

applicable rights therein in accordance with applicable Law). In any event, the Private Owner 

shall remain liable for any deficiency in payment ofthe Private Owner Obligations. 

(c) This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable 

Law for the benefit of the Initial Member and, in furtherance thereof, the Private Owner (in all of 

its capacities) and the Company (as applicable) shall be deemed to have granted, and each does 

hereby grant, to the Initial Member, for itself(and its assignees) and for the further benefit of the 

Indemnified Parties, a valid and continuing first priority Lien on and security interest in all ofthe 

Private Owner's right, title and interest, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or 

arising, in, to or under the Secured Assets, as security for the payment and performance (when 

due) by the Private Owner (including in its roles as the Manager and the Tax Matters Member) 

of the Private Owner Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the 

14 

CRE 2011-1 Venture Structured Transaction 

Amended and Restated LLC Operating Agreement 

Version 3. I 

EXECUTION VERSION 

v.9 
Secured Assets are not, pursuant to the foregoing, collateral for the separate payment obligations 

of the Company except to the extent that, pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction 

Documents, the Private Owner, in any capacity, is required to pay (or advance applicable funds 

to pay) or otherwise bear such obligations (and in such case, such Secured Assets secure such 

separate obligations of the Private Owner), such that the Secured Assets do not secure the 

Company's payment obligations under the Purchase Money Notes. The Private Owner 

represents, warrants and covenants that it owns, and shall at all times own, the Secured Assets 

free and clear of any Liens (other than the Lien created hereby), and, upon the filing of a UCC 

financing statement with respect thereto, as applicable, the Initial Member shall have a perfected 

and continuing first priority Lien on and security interest in the Secured Assets (whether now 

owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising), as security for the payment and performance 

(when due) by the Private Owner (including in its roles as the Manager and the Tax Matters 

Member) of the Private Owner Obligations. 

(d) As additional security for the Private Owner Obligations (and, as 

applicable, as part of the Secured Assets), the Private Owner shall deliver on the Closing Date, 

and at all times thereafter cause to be maintained, the Additional Security. In the event that the 

Private Owner determines to fulfill its obligation to provide the Additional Security by issuance 

of a Qualifying Letter of Credit, the Private Owner shall cause the issuance and delivery to the 

Initial Member, on the Closing Date, of a single Qualifying Letter of Credit in the full amount of 

such Additional Security. The Private Owner may, on one occasion (and only on one occasion, 

except as otherwise expressly permitted in the definition of LC Reissuance/Extension Failure 

under the circumstances specified therein), make a one-time substitution of the form of the 

Additional Security by substituting, as the case may be, either (x) a Qualifying Letter of Credit 

for Qualifying Cash Collateral, or (y) Qualifying Cash Collateral for a Qualifying Letter of 

Credit; provided, however, that at all times the amount of the Additional Security is equal to or 

greater than the Private Owner Pledged Amount; and provided, further, however, the Private 

Owner shall pay to the Initial Member the Additional Security Substitution Fee (as a condition to 

the exercise of such right to make such substitution) and shall further solely be responsible for 

any incurred costs ofthe Initial Member or the Company associated with any such substitution of 

the form of the Additional Security as referenced in this sentence. The Initial Member shall have 

the unilateral right to draw on any such Qualifying Letter of Credit and to provide instructions to 

the Paying Agent for the disposition of any Qualifying Cash Collateral, in each case without any 

requirement for any further consent, confirmation or instructions from the Private Owner; 

provided, however, that as between the Initial Member and the Private Owner (and without 

creating any right or obligation of the Paying Agent or any Issuing Bank to refuse to honor, or 

inquire as to the accuracy or sufficiency of, any applicable instructions from the Initial Member), 

the Initial Member agrees that (i) it shall not exercise such rights to so draw on any such 

Qualifying Letter of Credit unless there shall have occurred an Event of Default (whether or not 

relating to any Qualifying Letter of Credit) or an LC Reissuance/Extension Failure (with respect 

to such Qualifying Letter of Credit), and (ii) it shall not exercise such rights to so unilaterally 

direct the disposition ofthe Qualifying Cash Collateral from the Private Owner Pledged Account 

unless there shall have occurred an Event of Default.

v.9 
(e) On the Closing Date (and whether or not the Private Owner has elected to 

provide the Additional Security in the form of Qualifying Cash Collateral), the Private Owner 

shall establish the Private Owner Pledged Account with the Paying Agent for the exclusive 

purpose of holding Qualifying Cash Collateral (including in the form of any proceeds from a 

drawing on a Qualifying Letter of Credit at any time deposited in the Private Owner Pledged 

Account in accordance herewith). The Private Owner Pledged Account (and all funds and 

financial assets therein) shall be subject to the security interest granted herein for the benefit of 

the Initial Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Custodial and Paying Agency 

Agreement and the Private Owner Pledged Account Control Agreement. Funds in the Private 

Owner Pledged Account may be invested at the direction of the Private Owner from time to time 

in Permitted Investments in accordance with the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement; 

provided, however, that the Private Owner is authorized to instruct the Custodian and Paying 

Agent to release to it that portion of the proceeds in the Private Owner Pledged Account which 

exceeds the required Private Owner Pledged Amount, all in accordance with Section 3.9(b) of 

the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. Conversely, it is understood and agreed that, 

pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.13(d), if, at any time, the sum of (x) the aggregate 

undrawn (and available) amounts under the Qualifying Letter of Credit, if any, plus (y) the 

balance, if any, of the Qualifying Cash Collateral, is less than the Private Owner Pledged 

Amount, an Event of Default shall exist and (without limitation of the foregoing) the Private 

Owner immediately shall cure such Event of Default by depositing with the Paying Agent 

Qualifying Cash Collateral in the amount of the difference between the Private Owner Pledged 

Amount and the sum of(x) and (y). 

(f) Upon the occurrence of any LC Reissuance/Extension Failure, the Initial 

Member shall have the right (but not the obligation) to draw on all or any part of the undrawn 

amount of the Qualifying Letter of Credit subject to such LC Reissuance/Extension Failure; and 

the funds received by the Initial Member as a result of any such draw shall be deposited in the 

Private Owner Pledged Account (and thereby will become Qualifying Cash Collateral) and such 

LC Reissuance/Extension Failure shall not be deemed an Event of Default hereunder, in each 

case only so long as (i) there shall not have occurred any Event of Default (other than such LC 

Reissuance/Extension Failure), (ii) the Private Owner Pledged Account shall then be and remain 

open and subject to the Private Owner Pledged Account Control Agreement, (iii) upon such 

deposit in the Private Owner Pledged Account (of the funds received by the Initial Member from 

such draw), the aggregate amount of the Additional Security (disregarding such Qualifying 

Letter of Credit) shall be in an amount not less than the Private Owner Pledged Amount, and (iv) 

the Private Owner shall have paid to the Initial Member the Additional Security Substitution Fee 

in connection with the resulting substitution of such Qualifying Letter of Credit (or applicable 

undrawn amounts thereunder) with Qualifying Cash Collateral (which Additional Security 

Substitution Fee shall be deemed due and payable upon the occurrence of such LC 

Reissuance/Extension Failure), it being understood that, in the event the foregoing conditions are 

not satisfied, the Initial Member shall have the right to hold and apply such funds pursuant to 

Section 3.13(b) above. 

(g) The Private Owner hereby authorizes the filing by the Initial Member and 

its assignees of such UCC financing or continuation statements in such jurisdictions as the Initial

Member or its assignees deem appropriate (in their sole and absolute discretion) to perfect and 

continue their first priority Lien and security interest with respect to the Secured Assets. The 

Private Owner shall deliver to the Initial Member an assignment and assumption agreement with 

respect to the Private Owner Interest, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, endorsed in blank, 

and executed by the Private Owner. The Initial Member may use the assignment and assumption 

agreement to effect the assignment of the Private Owner Interest at any time if an Event of 

Default occurs and is continuing. 

(h) After all of the obligations secured by the Secured Assets have been 

indefeasibly paid and performed in full (following the dissolution of the Company), the Initial 

Member shall, upon the request of the Private Owner, release any then outstanding Qualifying 

Letter of Credit and consent to the termination of the Private Owner Pledged Account Control 

Agreement. 

(i) The Initial Member's rights and remedies under this Agreement, any other 

Transaction Document or otherwise are cumulative and may be exercised singularly (and in such 

order as the Initial Member may determine in its sole discretion) or concurrently. Neither any 

failure nor delay on the part of the Initial Member to exercise any other right or remedy shall 

operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy 

preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy howsoever arising. 

In no event shall the Initial Member have any obligation to seek or exhaust any particular remedy 

prior to exercising any other remedy, and the Private Owner hereby waives any and all right to 

require the marshalling of assets in connection with any exercise by the Initial Member of its 

remedies hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Under no circumstances shall the 

Initial Member be deemed or construed to have waived its right to draw upon any Qualifying 

Letter of Credit, to proceed against the Private Owner Pledged Account, to foreclose upon the 

Private Owner Interest or to exercise any of its other rights or remedies unless such waiver is in 

writing and executed by a duly authorized representative of the Initial Member. A waiver of any 

right or remedy on any one occasion shall not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy on any 

future occasion or as a waiver of any other right or remedy. 

(j) As used herein, "Event of Default" shall mean any one of the following 

events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or 

involuntary or be effected by operation of Law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of 

any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 

(i) the receipt by the Company of notice from the PMN Agent that an 

"Event of Default" under (and as defined in) the Reimbursement, Security and Guaranty

Member to foreclose on the Private Owner Interest in accordance with Section 3.13: 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

the Initial Member may at any time, by notice (a "Buy-Out Notice") to the Private Owner, 

elect to purchase (or cause one or more designees to purchase) the Private Owner Interest for an 

amount, payable in cash, equal to (x) the fair market value of such Private Owner Interest 

(determined, if necessary, in accordance with Section 3.14(b)(iv)) as of a date (the "Buy-Out 

Valuation Date") selected by the Initial Member in its discretion between the date of the BuyOut Notice and the closing of such purchase (the "Buy-Out Closing"), less (y) any amounts 

owed by the Private Owner pursuant to Section 3.14(b)(v), and less (or plus) (z) the excess (or 

deficiency), for the period between the date of the Buy-Out Valuation Date and the 

consummation of the Buy-Out Closing, of (i) all distributions paid by the Company to or for the 

account of the Private Owner, including distributions pursuant to Section 6.6 and principal 

payments received by or on behalf of the Private Owner in respect of Excess Working Capital 

Advances, over (or below) (ii) all Excess Working Capital Advances made by or on behalf of the 

Private Owner. 

(b) If the Private Owner receives a Buy-Out Notice, the Buy-Out Closing 

shall be consummated as follows: 

(i) The Buy-Out Closing shall be held at the principal offices of the 

Company on a day selected by the Initial Member, which day shall, subject to Section 

3.14(b)(iv), be no later than six months after the Buy-Out Notice was delivered to the Private 

Owner or at such other place or on such other date as the Members may agree (the "Buy-Out 

Closing Date"). 

(ii) The Initial Member shall purchase (and/or cause one or more 

designees to purchase in the aggregate) all but not less than all of the of the Private Owner 

Interest for the consideration set forth in Section 3.14(a), and against delivery of such 

consideration, the Private Owner shall deliver all such documents and instruments as are 

necessary to transfer to the Initial Member (and/or its designee(s)), and in any event shall be 

deemed to have transferred, and to have represented and warranted to the Initial Member (and/or 

its designee(s)) that it has transferred, to the Initial Member (and/or its designee(s)), good title to 

(and, in any event, all right, title and interest of the Private Owner in and to) the entire Private 

Owner Interest, free and clear of all Liens other than those created by this Agreement and the 

Transaction Documents. 

(iii) The Private Owner shall obtain all material consents, approvals or 

waivers (including expiration or termination of a specified waiting period) of any Governmental 

Authority or Person that may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Private

been waived by the Initial Member).

(iv) In the event of the delivery of a Buy-Out Notice, the Members 

shall attempt to agree on the fair market value of the Private Owner Interest as of the Buy-Out 

Valuation Date. If the Members are unable to agree on such value within fifteen days after the 

date of delivery of the Buy-Out Notice (or, if sooner, by the Buy-Out Closing Date), then such 

value shall be determined immediately thereafter in accordance with the Dispute Resolution 

Procedure, and, if applicable, the Buy-Out Closing Date shall be delayed until such date (after 

completion of the applicable valuation) as may be selected by the Initial Member. For the 

avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the right under this Section 3.14 or any valuation resulting 

from a Dispute Resolution Procedure create any obligation with respect to, or otherwise limit the 

rights of the Initial Member in connection with, any concurrent or subsequent foreclosure (or 

sale) of the Private Owner Interest pursuant to Section 3.13 and/or exercise of relevant rights 

under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, and the Private Owner acknowledges and 

agrees that any foreclosure and sale pursuant to Section 3.13 and relevant rights under the 

Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise may result in a sale price for the Private Owner Interest 

that is significantly lower than the fair market value of the Private Owner Interest potentially (or 

having actually been) determined pursuant to this Section or other price set out in any Buy-Out 

Notice. 

(v) All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Initial 

Member and the Company in connection with the exercise of the Initial Member's rights under 

this Section 3.14 and the sale of the Private Owner Interest by the Private Owner (including fees 

of any investment banking firm retained in connection with the Dispute Resolution Procedure 

and legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining any necessary consents, 

approvals or waivers (including expiration or termination of a specified waiting period) of 

Governmental Authorities) shall be borne by the Private Owner and may be deducted from the 

purchase price otherwise payable by the Initial Member (or its designee(s)) for the Private Owner 

Interest. 

(c) The failure of the Initial Member to exercise its rights under this Section 

3.14 in connection with any Event of Default shall in no way affect or limit the exercise of such 

rights in connection with any other Event of Default by the Private Owner. 

(d) At any time prior to the Buy-Out Closing, the Initial Member may elect 

not to proceed with the Buy-Out Closing (without any liability or further obligation with respect 

thereto), and the Private Owner shall remain responsible for amounts owed under Section 

3.14(b)(v) notwithstanding any such election by the Initial Member. 

(e) Any distributions payable by the Company to the Private Owner after the 

Buy-Out Valuation Date (and prior to the consummation of the Buy-Out Closing) shall, at the 

option of the Initial Member, be paid to and held by the Initial Member (or, if permitted by the 

Paying Agent, held by the Paying Agent in the Distribution Account) and, at the Buy-Out 

Closing or a reasonable time thereafter, be released to the Private Owner less, without 

duplication, any amounts owed by the Private Owner pursuant to this Agreement (including costs 

and expenses pursuant to Section 3.14(b)(v)). For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Initial 

Member nor the Paying Agent shall have any obligation to segregate, or pay interest or other 

income in respect of, any sums held pursuant to this Section 3.14(e).

any capacity, including as the Manager) under, and otherwise to comply with and observe the 

provisions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including Losses relating to 

(1) the Company's obligations with respect to litigation referred to in Section 4.5 of the 

Contribution Agreement to the extent provided therein, (2) the Company's obligations under 

Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the Contribution Agreement (including all costs and expenses of the 

Receiver in completing any applicable transfers pursuant to exercise of rights under such 

section), or (3) any claim asserted by the Initial Member against the Company or the Private 

Owner (in any capacity, including as the Manager) to enforce its rights hereunder), or any thirdparty allegation or claim based upon facts alleged that, if true, would constitute such a breach,

the Contribution Agreement or (vi) any Obligations attributable to acts or omissions of the 

Private Owner (or any of its Related Persons) occurring prior to the Closing Date to the extent 

the such actions or omissions would have subjected the Private Owner to the indemnification 

provisions herein had the same occurred on or after the Closing Date. The Private Owner's 

obligation under this Section 4.6(a) shall, with respect to any third-party beneficiary of this 

Agreement (and its Related Persons), survive the termination of this Agreement or such third 

party beneficiary otherwise ceasing generally to constitute such a third party beneficiary. Each 

Indemnified Party shall deliver notice, of any claim or demand made by any Person against such 

Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Section 

4.6(a) (a "Third Party Claim"), to the Private Owner promptly after receipt by such 

Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing such Third Party Claim 

in reasonable detail. The failure or delay to provide such notice, however, shall not release the 

Private Owner from any of its obligations under this Section 4.6 except to the extent that it is 

materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. 

The Private Owner acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no recourse 

(including on account of the provisions of Section 8.13 of the Contribution Agreement) against 

the Company for any amounts the Private Owner is required to pay pursuant to this Section 4.6.

Person at any time constituting the "Initial Member" under this Agreement (even if such Person 

has ceased to be the "Initial Member" under this Agreement) and (without limitation of the 

foregoing) any Person at any time holding all or any portion of the LLC Interest initially held by 

the Initial Member immediately after the Closing, in each case even if such Person has since 

ceased to be a member of the Company or to hold any limited liability company interest in the 

Company. 

For purposes of clarification, with respect solely to the obligations of the Private 

Owner under this Section 4.6(a) in connection with a breach by the Company (during any period 

when the Private Owner is the Manager), the Private Owner shall not be responsible for any

v.9 
Losses arising out of or resulting from any failure by the Company to pay its separate payment 

obligations (including such payment obligations under the Purchase Money Notes), to the extent 

that all of the following are satisfied: (1) such failure is the result of the Company having 

insufficient available funds notwithstanding the Servicing and the management of the Company 

by the Manager (and, as applicable, the Servicer and any Subservicers) in accordance with this 

Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including through exercise of any 

discretionary authority with respect to incurrence of payment obligations and maintenance and 

application of applicable reserves in a manner so as to reasonably avoid any such breach), (2) 

such failure and resulting Losses are not attributable in whole or in part to any breach (or other 

action or omission in violation of the Servicing Standard or any provision of this Agreement or 

any other Transaction Document) by the Private Owner (in any capacity, including as Manager) 

or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company), or by any of the respective Related Persons of 

any of the foregoing, and (3) the Private Owner (in any capacity) is not required to pay (or 

advance applicable funds to the Company for payment of) or otherwise bear such payment 

obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 

(b) If for any reason the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or 

insufficient to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties, the Private Owner shall contribute to the 

amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of the Losses of the Indemnified 

Parties in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties, 

on the one hand, and the Private Owner (in any capacity, including as the Manager) and its 

Related Persons, on the other hand, in connection with the matters that are the subject of such 

Losses. 

(c) If the Private Owner confirms in writing to the Indemnified Party within 

fifteen days after receipt of a Third Party Claim the Private Owner's responsibility to indemnify 

and hold harmless the Indemnified Party therefor, the Private Owner may elect to assume control 

over the compromise or defense of such Third Party Claim at the Private Owner's sole expense 

and with counsel selected by the Private Owner, which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory 

to the Indemnified Party, provided that (i) the Indemnified Party may, if such Indemnified Party 

so desires, employ counsel at such Indemnified Party's own expense to assist in the handling (but 

not control the defense) of any Third Party Claim; (ii) the Private Owner shall keep the 

Indemnified Party advised of all material events with respect to any Third Party Claim; (iii) the 

Private Owner shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before ceasing to 

defend against any Third Party Claim or entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise 

of such Third Party Claim involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being imposed upon the 

Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; and (iv) the Private Owner will not, without the prior 

written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any 

judgment in any pending or threatened action in respect of which indemnification may be sought 

hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to such action), unless such 

settlement, compromise or consent by its terms obligates the Private Owner to satisfy the full 

amount ofthe liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and includes an unconditional 

release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Third Party Claim. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Private 

Owner shall not be entitled to control (and if the Indemnified Party so desires, it shall have sole

nevertheless be required to pay all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with 

such defense, settlement or compromise): (i) any Third Party Claim that seeks an order, 

injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (ii) any 

action in which both the Private Owner (in any capacity, including as the Manager) or any 

Affiliate of the Private Owner, on one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are 

named as parties and either the Private Owner (or such Affiliate) or the Indemnified Party 

determines with advice of counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it 

that are different from or additional to those available to the other party or that a conflict of 

interest between such parties may exist in respect of such action; and (iii) any matter that raises 

or implicates any issue relating to any power, right or obligation of the FDIC under any Law. In 

addition to the foregoing, if the Private Owner elects not to assume the compromise or defense of 

any Third Party Claim, fails to timely and properly notify the Indemnified Party of its election as 

herein provided, or, at any time after assuming such defense, fails to diligently defend against 

such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay, settle, compromise or 

defend against such Third Party Claim (but the Private Owner shall nevertheless be required to 

pay all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such payment, settlement, 

compromise or defense). In connection with any defense of a Third Party Claim (whether by the 

Private Owner or the Indemnified Party), all of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their 

respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and to in good faith retain 

and furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery 

proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested by a party hereto in 

connection therewith. 

(e) In the event the Company is reimbursed for or uses the Working Capital 

Reserve or Excess Working Capital Advances to pay costs or expenses of the type referred to in 

clause (v) or (vi) of the definition of Servicing Expenses and it is subsequently determined that 

the Company was not entitled to reimbursement for (or to use the Working Capital Reserve or 

Excess Working Capital Advances to pay) all or any portion of such costs and expenses because 

the Company did not satisfy the requirements of such clause (v) or clause (vi), as applicable, of 

the definition of Servicing Expenses (such costs and expenses, the "Unreimbursable 

Expenses"), the Manager shall, in addition to any other Losses for which the Manager may be 

liable with respect to the claim to which such costs and expenses relate, reimburse the cost of 

such Unreimbursable Expenses to each Member based on such Member's Percentage Interest as 

set forth below, except to the extent such Unreimbursable Expenses were funded through Excess 

Working Capital Advances that remain outstanding (in which case the portion of any such 

outstanding Excess Working Capital Advance that was so used for Unreimbursable Expenses 

shall itself become unreimbursable and be deemed forgiven with no further right of the Manager 

to collect or receive the same). Any such reimbursement by the Manager pursuant to the 

foregoing shall be as follows: within ten Business Days after written demand therefor from 

either Member, the Manager shall pay each Member by wire transfer of immediately available 

funds to an account specified by each Member an amount equal to such Member's Percentage 

Interest (as of the later of (x) the date of such demand or (y) the date of such payment) multiplied 

by the amount of all such Unreimbursable Expenses.

litigation and similar costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, 

defending, asserting or preparing the defense or assertion of any claim) incurred by the Initial 

Member with respect thereto may be recovered by the Initial Member by the turnover to the 

Initial Member of an equal amount of any payment or distribution otherwise payable to the 

Private Owner (including any Interim Management Fee or the Management Fee), whether in its 

capacity as a Member or as the Manager (in each case except to the extent such breach or Event

or use by the Manager of Excess Working Capital Advances for payment of all or any of the 

same shall follow the relevant priorities (as among such Working Capital Expenses) as set forth, 

first, in Section 3.1(b)(i) of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement, and, second, in the 

Priority of Payments, as applicable. All Excess Working Capital Advances, together with a 

detailed statement of the sources and uses thereof (which shall be broken out by the reimbursable 

and unreimbursable portions thereof), shall be reflected in the Monthly Report with respect to the 

calendar month during which (or, as applicable, the Distribution Date for which) the relevant

such Member's allocable share of Net Income (and items thereof), and from which shall be 

deducted distributions to such Member of cash or other Company Property and such Member's 

allocable share of Net Loss (and items thereof). As to the Private Owner, the initial Capital

Owner Interest Sale Agreement, together with the Private Owner WCR Account Deposit made 

pursuant to the Private Owner Interest Sale Agreement. A Member's Capital Account also shall

made as provided in this Article VI. 

(a) General Allocation Rules. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, 

gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a 

manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.2(b), the 

Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly 

as possible, equal to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 

6.6 ifthe Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their 

Book Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse 

liability to the tax basis of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company 

were distributed, in accordance with Section 9.2(c), to the Members immediately after making 

such allocation, minus (ii) such Member's share of "partnership minimum gain" and "partner 

nonrecourse debt minimum gain" (as such terms are used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704­

2), computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. 

(b) Allocations in Special Circumstances. The following special allocations 

shall be made in the following order: 

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision 

of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in minimum gain (as it corresponds to the definition 

of "partnership minimum gain" in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2) and (d)) during 

any Fiscal Year, the Members shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for 

such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to the portion 

of such Member's share of the net decrease in minimum gain, determined in accordance with 

Treasury Regulations Section l.704-2(f) and (g). This Section 6.2(b)(i) is intended to comply 

with the "minimum gain chargeback" requirement in such section of the Treasury Regulations 

and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(ii) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other 

provision of this Article VI other than Section 6.2(b)(i), if there is a net decrease in minimum 

gain attributable to a Member nonrecourse debt (as it corresponds to the definition of 

"partnership nonrecourse debt minimum gain" in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)) 

during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and 

gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to the 

portion of such Member's share of the net decrease in such minimum gain attributable to such 

Member's nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704­

2(i). This Section 6.2(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the "partner minimum gain chargeback" 

requirement in such section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently 

therewith. 

(iii) Qualified Income Offiet. In the event any Member, for any reason, 

whether expected or not, has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income 

and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to 

eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such Adjusted Capital Account

Deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(iii) shall 

be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have such Adjusted Capital Account 

Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 6.2 have been tentatively made as if this 

Section 6.2(b)(iii) were not in this Agreement. This Section 6.2(b)(iii) is intended to comply with 

the "qualified income offset" provisions in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b )(2)(ii)( d) and 

-shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(iv) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any nonrecourse deductions attributable 

to a Member nonrecourse debt (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)) shall be 

allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to such nonrecourse 

debt. Otherwise, nonrecourse deductions shall be allocable in accordance with the Members' 

respective Percentage Interests. 

(v) Loss Allocation Limitation. No allocation ofNet Loss (or any item 

thereof) shall be made to any Member to the extent that such allocation would create or increase 

a Member's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. If, in the allocation of Net Loss (or any item 

thereof), less than all Members would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a result of 

such allocation, then any Net Loss (or item thereof) not allocable to any such Member(s) as a 

result of such limitation shall be allocated (subject to such limitation) to the other Member so as 

to allocate the maximum permissible Net Loss to each Member under Treasury Regulation 

Section 1.704-1 (b )(2)(ii)( d). 

(vi) Curative Allocations. The allocation proviSions of this 

Section 6.2(b) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VI, any allocation effected pursuant to this 

Section 6.2(b) shall be taken into account in allocating Net Income and Net Loss among the 

Members such that the cumulative effect of all such allocations achieves the fundamental 

purpose of Section 6.2(a), so that the Capital Account balances correspond to the amounts 

distributable to the Members. 

(c) Allocations in the Event of Disallowed Deductions. In the event that any 

fees, interest or other amounts paid to a Member or an Affiliate of a Member pursuant to this 

Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and such Member or Affiliate 

providing for the payment of such amounts, and deducted by the Company, whether in reliance 

upon Section 162, 163, 707( a) or 707( c) of the Code or otherwise, are disallowed as deductions 

to the Company on its federal income tax return for the fiscal year in or with respect to which 

such amounts are paid and are treated instead as Company distributions, then: 

(i) the Net Income or Net Loss, as the case may be, for the fiscal year 

in or with respect to which such fees, interest or other amounts were paid shall be increased or 

decreased, as the case may be, by the amount of such fees, interest or other amounts that are 

disallowed and treated as Company distributions; and 

(ii) there shall be allocated to the Member who received (or whose 

Affiliate received) such payments an amount of gross income for the fiscal year in or with

respect to which such fees, interest or other amounts were paid an amount equal to such fees, 

interest or other amounts that are so disallowed and treated as Company distributions. 

(d) Transfer of or Change in LLC Interests. The Tax Matters Member is 

authorized to adopt any convention or combination of conventions likely to be upheld for federal 

income tax purposes regarding the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction 

and expense with respect to a transferred LLC Interest. A transferee of an LLC Interest in the 

Company shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Member to the extent it relates to 

the transferred LLC Interest. 

6.3. Tax Allocations. 

(a) General Rules. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b), for each 

Fiscal Year, items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense shall be allocated, for

(b) Section 704(c) of the Code. Income, gains, losses and deductions with 

respect to any property (other than cash) contributed or deemed contributed to the capital of the 

Company shall, solely for income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take 

account of any variation between the Company's adjusted basis of such property, with respect to 

each member ofthe Company, for federal income tax purposes and its Fair Market Value at the 

time of the contribution or deemed contribution in accordance with Section 704( c) of the Code 

and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Such allocations shall be made in such 

manner and utilizing such permissible tax elections as determined in good faith by the Tax 

Matters Member, following consultation with the Initial Member. In the event of a revaluation 

of Company Property pursuant to the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of 

income, gains, losses or deductions with respect to such Company Property shall take account of 

any variation between the Book Value and Fair Market Value of such Company Property, as so 

determined from time to time, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury 

Regulations promulgated thereunder. Such allocations shall be made in such manner and 

utilizing such permissible tax elections as determined in good faith by the Tax Matters Member, 

following consultation with the Initial Member. 

(c) [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(d) Capital Accounts Not Affected. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.3 

are solely for federal, state and local tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken 

into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or allocable share ofNet Income (or 

items thereof) or Net Loss (or items thereof). 

(e) Tax Allocations Binding. The Members acknowledge that they are aware 

of the tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 6.3 and hereby agree to be bound 

by the provisions of this Section 6.3 in reporting their respective shares of items of Company

of the Capital Accounts, the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and 

expense and the adoption of any accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms 

of this Agreement shall be determined by the Tax Matters Member in good faith, following 

consultation with the Initial Member. Following such consultation, such determinations shall be 

final and conclusive as to all the Members. Without in any way limiting the scope of the 

foregoing, if and to the extent that, for income tax purposes, any contribution to or distribution 

by the Company or any payment by any Member or by the Company is recharacterized, the Tax 

Matters Member may, in good faith following consultation with the Initial Member, specially 

allocate items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or expense and/or make correlative 

adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Members in a manner so that the net amount of 

income, gain, loss, deduction and expense realized by each relevant party (after taking into 

account such special allocations) and the net Capital Account balances of the Members (after 

taking into account such special allocations and adjustments) shall, as nearly as possible, achieve 

the fundamental purpose of Section 6.2(a), such that the Capital Account balances correspond to 

the amounts distributable to the Members, as if such recharacterization had not occurred. 

6.5. Priority of Payments. Each calendar month the amounts deposited in the 

Distribution Account under the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement shall be distributed by 

the Paying Agent in the order of the Priority of Payments; provided, however, that for the

such Distributable Cash shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 6.6 

below. 

6.6. Distributions.

capital or demand or receive distributions or other returns of any amount in its Capital Account,

(b) Ordinary Distributions. 

(i) Timing. Distributable Cash, if any, shall be distributed to the 

Members on a monthly basis by the Paying Agent out of the Distribution Account in the manner 

set forth in the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement; provided, however, that the Manager 

shall instruct the Paying Agent as to how such distributions are to be allocated as between the 

Initial Member and the Private Owner based on Section 6.6(b)(ii) below (which instructions shall 

be included in one or more reports to be provided to Paying Agent in accordance with Section

to the contrary notwithstanding, no distribution shall be made if such distribution would violate 

any contract or agreement to which the Company is then a party or any Law or directive of any 

Governmental Authority then applicable to the Company. 

(e) Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision ofthis Agreement, the 

Manager is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to 

cause the Company to comply with any foreign or United States federal, state or local 

withholding requirement with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution by the Company 

to any Member or other Person. All amounts so withheld shall be treated as distributions to the 

applicable Members under the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If any such withholding 

requirement with respect to any Member exceeds the amount distributable to such Member under 

the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or if any such withholding requirement was not 

satisfied with respect to any amount previously allocated or distributed to such Member, such 

Member and any successor or assignee with respect to such Member's LLC Interest hereby 

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Manager and the Company for such excess amount or 

such withholding requirement, as the case may be.

the "Tax Matters Member" under Section 6231(a)(7) ofthe Code and under other similar Laws 

of other relevant jurisdictions, to manage, in consultation with the Initial Member, administrative 

tax proceedings conducted at the Company level by the Internal Revenue Service or other Tax 

authorities with respect to Company matters. Each Member expressly consents to such 

designation and agrees that, upon the request of the Tax Matters Member, it will execute, 

acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be 

necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. The Tax Matters Member is specifically 

directed and authorized to take whatever steps the Tax Matters Member in its sole and absolute 

discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect such designation, including filing any forms or 

documents with the Internal Revenue Service (or other Tax authorities) and taking such other 

action as may from time to time be required under the Code, Treasury Regulations or other 

Laws. The Tax Matters Member shall keep the other Members fully informed as to any Tax 

audits of the Company, including promptly providing the other Members with copies of any 

correspondence from any Taxing authority and permitting the other Member to participate in any 

conferences or meetings with any Taxing authority and in any subsequent administrative or 

judicial proceedings. The Tax Matters Member shall have the authority, following consultation 

with the Initial Member, to make any Tax elections on behalf of the Company permitted to be 

made, including the election pursuant to Section 754, under any section of the Code or the 

Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or under other Laws. In the event the Company 

may be deemed to be a "small partnership" as described in Section 6231 (a)(1 )(B), each Member 

consents to the Company's electing to be treated as a partnership to which the provisions of Code 

Section 6221 et. seq. apply (thereby electing to have Code Section 623l(a)(l)(B)(i) not apply). 

The Initial Member may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an 

Event of Default, remove the Private Owner as the Tax Matters Member, appoint itself (or any 

other willing Member at the time) as the Tax Matters Member, and serve (or cause such other 

Member to so serve) in such capacity; provided that such removal shall not relieve the Private 

Owner as Tax Matters Member of any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any

transfer of its right to receive the Interim Management Fee, Management Fee or payments as set

Member, shall be deemed to constitute an outstanding breach, misrepresentation, violation or 

default as the case may be, by the transferee Member; and 

(iii) subject to Section 8.4(b) and the last sentence of Section 13.8, the 

transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company (and accordingly, except as 

expressly otherwise provided in Section 8.4(b) or the last sentence of Section 13.8, shall cease to 

be responsible for the payment or performance of any of the obligations or liabilities under this 

Agreement ofthe Private Owner, in any capacity hereunder). 

(b) No Permitted Disposition (and no resulting withdrawal or resignation of 

the transferor Member from the Company) shall: 

(i) relieve the transferor Member of any of the obligations or 

liabilities of the transferor Member, in any capacity, under this Agreement or any other 

Transaction Document required to have been paid or performed prior to the consummation of

Interest (or any portion thereof) not strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and 

the express rescission of such attempted or purported Disposition by the Private Owner and (ii)

(including pursuant to Section 8.5) made on or after the effective date of the Permitted

the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as provided by applicable Law, there shall be 

no restriction on the Initial Member's ability to Dispose of the Initial Member Interest, directly 

or indirectly, to any Person and the Private Owner shall have no right to purchase or right-offirst-refusal in connection with any such sale; provided, however, that, the Initial Member may 

not assign the consent and voting rights associated with the Initial Member Interest to more than 

one Person (for the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided above, the foregoing 

restriction shall not otherwise limit the Initial Member's right to Dispose of any interest 

associated with the Initial Member Interest) and provided, further, that in the event the Initial 

Member determines to sell the Initial Member Interest through an auction process, the Private 

Owner shall be entitled to participate in such auction on the same terms that apply generally to 

other participants in the auction. At the election of the Person then constituting the "Initial 

Member" under this Agreement, the transferee in any direct Disposition of any portion of the 

Initial Member Interest shall, upon delivery to the Company, with a copy to the Private Owner 

and the PMN Agent, of an agreement by which such transferee shall agree to become a party to 

and be bound by this Agreement as the "Initial Member," be admitted as a member of the 

Company and be deemed to be a party to this Agreement as the "Initial Member", and thereupon, 

subject to last sentence of Section 13.8, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the 

Company (and accordingly, except as expressly otherwise provided in last sentence of 

Section 13.8, shall cease to be responsible for the payment or performance of any of the 

obligations or liabilities under this Agreement of the Initial Member). 

(b) The Initial Member may not (and in any event covenants that it will not) 

sell, transfer or assign the Initial Member Interest without the prior consent of the PMN Agent 

(which shall not unreasonably be withheld). Even if such consent is obtained, such sale, transfer 

or assignment may not and shall not be consummated unless and until the transferee in such 

transaction shall deliver to the PMN Agent, an agreement, in form and substance reasonably 

satisfactory to the PMN Agent, by which such transferee shall (i) agree to become a party to and 

be bound by each of this Agreement, the Reimbursement, Security and Guaranty Agreement, the 

Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement and the Agreement of Definitions as the "Initial 

Member," and (ii) assume and agree to perform when due all of the obligations of the "Initial 

Member" under each of this Agreement, the Reimbursement, Security and Guaranty Agreement,

v.9 
the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement and the Agreement of Definitions. The preceding 

sentence of this Section 8.7(b) is subject to Section 8.7(c). The Initial Member may not (and in 

any event covenants that it will not) exercise any of its rights or remedies described in clause ffi, 

(ill, (iii), (iv) or (other than in relation to the Additional Security) .(y} of Section 3.13(a) hereof 

without the prior consent of the PMN Agent. This Section 8.7(b) is solely for the benefit of the 

PMN Agent, as more fully set forth in Section 13.5(d). 

(c) Anything in this Agreement (including Section 8.7(a) or (.Q).) to the 

contrary notwithstanding, from and after the acquisition by the FDIC in its corporate capacity of 

the assets of the receivership of any Failed Bank, the FDIC in its corporate capacity as successor 

to the FDIC in its capacity as the receiver under such receivership, automatically and without any 

further act of the parties, shall succeed to all of the rights, duties and obligations of the "Initial 

Member" hereunder. 

8.8. Resignation; Dissolution. 

(a) The Private Owner may not withdraw or resign from the Company, except 

(i) in connection with a Permitted Disposition made in accordance with the applicable provisions 

of this Article VIII or (ii) with the prior written consent of the Required Consenting Parties. 

(b) The Private Owner covenants that it shall not allow a Dissolution Event to 

occur with respect to itself. 

(c) Section 18-304 of the Act shall not apply to the Company. Nothing in this 

Section 8.8(c) shall limit the terms of Section 9.1 hereof. 

(d) Except as is otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member 

shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to Section 18-604 of the Act. 

8.9. Applicable Law Withdrawal. If, as a result of applicable Law, the ownership of 

an LLC Interest (or, in the case of the Private Owner, the Private Owner Interest) by a Member 

becomes illegal or is likely to become illegal or the applicable Law more likely than not requires 

divestiture of such Member's LLC Interest (or, in the case of the Private Owner, the Private 

Owner Interest), or the applicable Law would require the Company to register as an investment 

company under the Investment Company Act, then the Manager and such Member shall use their 

respective commercially reasonable efforts to avoid a violation of any such applicable Law by 

such Member or the need for the Company to register as an investment company. These steps 

may include, depending on the provisions of such applicable Law, (i) arranging for the sale of 

the Member's LLC Interest (or, in the case of the Private Owner, the Private Owner Interest) to a 

third party upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Member in a transaction that complies with 

Articles VIII and X, (ii) making any appropriate applications to the relevant Governmental 

Authority, (iii) prohibiting such Member from making further Capital Contributions, and 

converting its LLC Interest into a special interest with no voting or similar rights but with only 

an economic right (identical to its prior rights as a Member), or (iv) permitting the Member to 

withdraw from the Company in exchange for a "payment" to such Member equal to the value of 

its LLC Interest at the time of withdrawal, such value to be determined by a third party appraiser

mutually agreeable to the Manager and all Members. The aforesaid "payment" shall be made in 

cash unless the Manager determines that the payment in cash would be economically detrimental 

to the Company, in which case such payment may be made in kind, subject to the applicable 

Law. The timing of any such withdrawal must be mutually agreeable to the withdrawing 

Member and the Manager taking proper account of the effective date of the applicable Law or 

registration requirement that is the basis for the withdrawal or other remedy provided herein and 

the need of the Manager for a reasonable period of time to find a solution to the illegality or 

requirement for divestiture or renegotiation. Such illegality, divestiture or registration 

requirement must be established by (x) an opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably 

satisfactory to the Manager and the Initial Member) substantially to the effect that the ownership 

of the LLC Interest more likely than not will result in such illegality or requirement for 

registration or divestiture or (y) a ruling or order from a Governmental Authority. 

ARTICLE IX 


Dissolution and Winding-Up of the Company 


9.1. Dissolution. A dissolution of the Company shall take place upon the first to occur 

of the following: 

(a) the agreement by all Members to dissolve the Company (it being

dissolve the Company); 

(b) the sale of the Company Property (other than cash and cash equivalent 

instruments) as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or 

(c) notice to such effect to the Private Owner from the Initial Member at any 

time after the occurrence of a Dissolution Event or an Insolvency Event with respect to the 

Private Owner or any Person that Controls the Private Owner; or 

(d) exercise of the Clean-Up Call and liquidation of all remaining Assets and 

Acquired Property ofthe Company in accordance with Section 12.20. 

9.2. Winding-Up Procedures. If a dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 9.1

relationship evidenced by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any Subservicing 

Agreement), and (z) the right of any of the Manager, the Servicer or any Subservicer to receive 

compensation (including the Management Fee and any Interim Management Fee) for its services

performance of such Servicing shall meet and comply with all qualifications (including 

qualification as a Qualified Servicer), requirements (including as to insurance) and obligations of 

the Servicer hereunder (including as to reporting and audit requirements), in all cases without 

any additional expense to the Company (including as to any applicable insurance, certifications 

or licenses so required to be obtained or maintained by the Manager as a result ofthe foregoing).

each Subservicer) as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Manager. All actions 

of the Servicer (or any Subservicer) performed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (or any 

Subservicing Agreement) shall be performed as an agent of the Manager (or, in the case of 

Subservicers, the Servicer or applicable Rated Subservicer having engaged such Subservicer).

existing Servicer (and any Subservicers) and to cause the Manager (in its individual capacity) to 

enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a servicer (as a successor Servicer) selected by the 

Initial Member (in its sole and absolute discretion, and whether or not the same qualifies as a 

Qualified Servicer), and (ii) upon notice in writing to the Manager (effective at such time as is 

specified in such notice), to remove the Private Owner as the Manager and appoint a successor 

Manager (which successor Manager may be the Initial Member) in the sole discretion of the 

Initial Member, whereupon (without limitation of Section 13.5), such successor Manager shall 

immediately succeed to all, or such portion as the Initial Member and successor Manager agree, 

of the rights and obligations of the Private Owner as the Manager of the Company, and, in such 

case, the Initial Member shall further have the right (A) to terminate the Servicer and any or all 

Subservicers (in its sole and absolute discretion), and cause or permit the successor Manager

or the Company shall have any obligation to assume any obligations or liabilities of the removed 

Manager (in its individual capacity) under or in connection with any Servicing Agreement. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Member shall not exercise its right to terminate a 

Servicer that is not an Affiliate of the Manager or of the Private Owner in the absence of (1) an 

Event of Default attributable in whole or in part to the failure by the Servicer or any of its 

Subservicers to perform any material obligation under its applicable Servicing Agreement or 

Subservicing Agreement, (2) an Event of Default as described in clause (ii) or clause (vii) of the 

definition thereof with respect to the Servicer or any of its Subservicers, (3) an Event of Default 

resulting from the failure of the Servicer or any of its Subservicers at any time to meet the 

criteria of a Qualified Servicer, (4) an Event of Default as described in clause (v) of the 

definition thereof, to the extent relating to such Servicer or any of its Subservicers, or (5) any 

other Event of Default that consists of a breach of a Servicing obligation under this Agreement. 

Subject to the foregoing, the Manager hereby consents to the immediate termination of the 

Servicer upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of 

the Initial Member in this Section 12.4 are in addition to, and can be exercised independently of 

the rights of the Initial Member in Sections 3.2, 3.13, and 3.14; and in any event all rights and 

remedies of the Initial Member under this Agreement with respect to or following an Event of 

Default shall be cumulative, and any or all thereof may be exercised instead of or in addition to 

each other or any other remedies available to the Initial Member, whether under this Agreement, 

any other Transaction Document or otherwise. 

(b) Appointment of Successor Servicer. If the Initial Member exercises its 

right to act on behalf of the Manager (in its individual capacity) to appoint a successor Servicer,

or the Initial Member), and no termination or other fee shall be due to the Manager (in any 

capacity) or the Servicer or any Subservicer in connection with or as a result of any such action; 

provided, however, that, if the Initial Member or the PMN Agent has also exercised its right to 

remove the Manager (such that such removed Manager no longer has rights to the Management 

Fee), then, with respect to Servicing fees of such successor Servicer (but not costs and expenses 

in connection with the replacement of the Servicer with such successor Servicer) such removed 

Manager shall be responsible (in any capacity) only for the portion of such fees that, as of any 

particular Distribution Date, are in excess of the Management Fee payable to the successor 

Manager on such Distribution Date. 

(c) Removal of Manager; Management Fee. If the Initial Member exercises 

its right pursuant to this Section 12.4 to remove the Private Owner as the Manager and appoint a 

successor Manager, (i) the successor Manager selected by the Initial Member shall immediately 

succeed to all, or such portion as the Initial Member and successor Manager agree, of the rights 

and obligations of the Private Owner as the Manager of the Company, and all references in this 

Agreement to the Private Owner, in its capacity as Manager of the Company, shall be deemed to 

be references to the successor Manager so appointed by the Initial Member, (ii) without 

limitation of Section 13.5, the Initial Member shall have the right to determine, in its sole 

discretion, the extent, terms and conditions of the appointment of any such successor Manager, 

including as to compensation (whether from the Initial Member or the Company),

the Private Owner of(x) any ofthe liabilities and/or obligations ofthe Private Owner as Manager 

to the extent required under the terms of this Agreement to have been paid and/or performed 

prior to such removal or (y) any liability the Private Owner may have arising out of any act or 

omission by the Private Owner as Manager. No successor to the Private Owner as Manager shall 

have any liability or obligation for any of the matters described in clause (x) or W of the 

preceding sentence, except as may be otherwise specified pursuant to any modification to this 

Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5. In connection with any such removal of the Manager, the 

Initial Member and any successor Manager selected by the Initial Member are each hereby 

authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf of

and other instruments and to do or take any and all acts necessary or appropriate to effect the 

termination and replacement of such Manager and the Servicer and, in the event the Initial 

Member decides to retain a new Servicer, to enter into a new Servicing Agreement between the

existing Servicing Agreement from the removed Manager (in its individual capacity) to the

liquidation of the remaining Assets by means of sealed bid sales to Persons other than Affiliates 

ofthe Company, the Servicer or any Subservicer, or Affiliates of the Servicer or any Subservicer. 

The selection of any financial adviser or other Person, broker or sales agent retained for the 

liquidation of the remaining Assets pursuant to this Section 12.20 shall be subject to the prior 

approval of the Initial Member, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or 

conditioned as long as the fees to be charged by such financial adviser or other Person, broker or 

sales agent are reasonable and such Person is not an Affiliate of the Manager, the Servicer or 

Subservlcer. In the event the remaining Assets are not liquidated by the date specified in the 

notice provided by the Initial Member pursuant to Section 12.20(b), the Initial Member shall be 

entitled to liquidate the remaining Assets in its discretion and the Manager shall, and shall cause 

the Company to, cooperate and assist with such liquidation to the extent reasonably requested by 

the Initial Member. In the event the Manager or any Affiliate thereof desires to bid to acquire 

the remaining Assets, then the Initial Member shall be entitled to liquidate the remaining Assets 

in its discretion. In the event the Initial Member undertakes to liquidate the remaining Assets 

pursuant to this Section 12.20(c), all costs and expenses incurred by it shall be deducted from the 

Asset Proceeds and retained by the Initial Member and the remaining Asset Proceeds shall be 

distributed in accordance with Section 9.2. The first two sentences of this Section 12.20(c) shall 

apply to any liquidation by the Company of the remaining Assets pursuant to Article XI of the 

Reimbursement, Security and Guaranty Agreement. 

12.21. Certain Transfer Obligations. Without limitation of other obligations of the 

Manager with respect to the Contribution Agreement, the Manager agrees to cause the Company 

to comply with its obligations under the Contribution Agreement with respect to preparing, 

furnishing, executing and recording transfer documents with respect to the Assets (including 

special warranty deeds to convey the real property subject to any contract for deed and any 

Acquired Property to the Company). Any title curative work with respect to such Assets shall be 

at the Company's sole expense, provided that, as set forth in Section 4.10 of the Contribution 

Agreement, such expense shall constitute a Pre-Approved Charge. 

12.22. Seller Financing. The Manager may propose to the Required Consenting Parties 

that the Company provide one or more seller financed loans (i.e., the seller accepts a secured 

promissory note in lieu of cash in payment of all or a portion of the sales price of Acquired 

Property ("Seller Financed Loans") to purchasers of Acquired Property (or any portion thereof) 

(any borrower with respect to any such seller financed loan is referred to herein as an "SFL 

Borrower" and any guarantor, indemnitor or other Person having any obligations under the 

applicable Seller Financed Loan documents is referred to herein as an "SFL Obligor")). In such 

case, the Manager shall submit to the Required Consenting Parties at least sixty days prior to the 

first such proposed closing date of a Seller Financed Loan for the approval of such Required 

Consenting Parties (in its sole and absolute discretion), a written proposal (the "SFL Proposal") 

to offer such seller financing by the Company to any one or more SFL Borrowers, which SFL 

Proposal shall identify all material terms and conditions of the proposed Seller Financed Loan 

(or program for multiple such Seller Financed Loans), including (i) the interest rate, (ii) the loan 

term, (iii) the loan-to-value ratio, (iv) the underwriting criteria for establishing the 

creditworthiness for any SFL Borrowers and SFL Obligors, (v) the form of Seller Financed Loan 

documents, which forms shall be similar to those of other prudent lenders financing collateral of

similar type and size of the Seller Financed Loans collateral (the "SFL Collateral"), and 

including a form loan commitment letter specifying the conditions of making such Seller 

Financed Loan, (vi) the identity of the proposed servicer (if other than the Servicer; provided, 

that in such case, such servicer executes a servicing agreement in the form of the Servicing 

Agreement and which complies with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement, and the terms of 

the other Transaction Documents), (vii) the amount and source of payment of any applicable 

servicing fee, and (viii) any other term or condition that any Required Consenting Party may 

determine in its reasonable discretion is necessary for it to consider approving or disapproving 

such SFL Proposal. Any such SFL Proposal and related specific items may include options or 

ranges as determined to be appropriate by the Manager for purposes of obtaining applicable 

approval permitting multiple Seller Financed Loans. If each Required Consenting Party shall, in 

its sole and absolute discretion, approve the proposed SFL Proposal, the Manager may cause the 

Company to provide applicable Seller Financed Loans meeting the requirements and conditions 

set forth in such approved SFL Proposal (and any applicable additional conditions required by 

any Required Consenting Parties in connection with their applicable approval). Each such Seller 

Financed Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note (a "Seller Financed Loan Note") 

payable to the order of the Company that is secured by a mortgage, or a deed of trust, as 

applicable, in either case in recordable form for the jurisdiction in which the SFL Collateral is 

located, to secure the Seller Financed Loan Note. The Manager shall, or shall cause the 

Company to, promptly deliver the original Seller Financed Loan Note and the other original 

Seller Financed Loan documents to the Custodian. The Required Consenting Parties shall have 

thirty days from the time the SFL Proposal is delivered by the Manager according to Section 

13.6 hereof to approve or disapprove such SFL Proposal. If the Required Consenting Parties 

shall not have provided a response within such thirty day period, such SFL Proposal shall be 

deemed disapproved by the Required Consenting Parties. Furthermore, any such approval of an 

SFL Proposal for multiple Seller Financed Loans, if granted, may thereafter be revoked by any 

Required Consenting Party on a prospective basis (as to Future Seller Financed Loans not yet 

entered into by the Company pursuant to such applicable SFL Proposal).

waived, in each case, by a written instrument signed only by the Initial Member (with the consent

applicable, by limiting the duration or scope of such provision and/or the Persons against whom,

accompanied by the Accountants' report and opinion thereon, which report and opinion shall be 

prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to any 

qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit. If not included in any such audited 

financial statements, the Manager shall, together with the delivery of such audited financial 

statements, deliver to the Initial Member a separate schedule setting forth (separately) the value 

of each Loan and Acquired REO Property held by the Company or any Ownership Entity as of 

the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, in each case as reflected in (or otherwise consistent with)

Beneficiary such information as is specified in Exhibit B to the LLC Operating Agreement (in 

addition to the Monthly Report) and such other information relating to the Assets, the Collateral, 

the Secured Parties Collateral, the Company, the Servicer and any Subservicers as such 

Beneficiary may reasonably request from time to time and, in any case, shall ensure that each 

Beneficiary is promptly advised, in writing, of any matter of which the Manager, the Servicer or 

any Subservicer becomes aware relating to the Assets, the Collateral, the Secured Parties 

Collateral, each Company Account, the Escrow Accounts, or any Borrower or Obligor that 

materially and adversely affects the interests of the Initial Member, the PMN Agent, any 

Purchase Money Notes Guarantor or the Holders under any Transaction Document. Without

cessation of the Private Owner to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8.2 and 10.1 of the LLC

relevant information with respect thereto is included in the applicable Monthly Report for the 

period including the date on which such failure occurred (so long as such Monthly Report is 

timely delivered in accordance herewith). To the extent that any Beneficiary requests 

information which is dependent upon obtaining such information from a Borrower, Obligor or 

other third party, the Manager shall cause to be made commercially reasonable efforts to obtain 

such information but it shall not be a breach by the Manager of this Agreement if the Manager 

fails to cause such information to be provided to such Beneficiary because a Borrower, Obligor 

or other Person has failed to provide such information after such efforts have been made. 

(b) Monthly Reports. On or prior to the day which is five Business Days prior 

to the Distribution Date for each month, commencing on the Distribution Date following the

otherwise) the Initial Member (including as Transferor) will prepare and deliver to each other 

Required Consenting Party and each Purchase Money Notes Guarantor and to the Paying Agent 

each such Monthly Report (including a Cash Flow and Distribution Report) on behalf of the 

Company for all Due Periods ending on or before the last occurring Servicing Transfer Date 

(provided, further, however, that with respect to each such Monthly Report, the Manager shall 

(with respect to information relating to all Groups of Assets other than those for which the 

Interim Servicing Period has not ended) cooperate with the Initial Member in preparing such 

Monthly Report or will provide to the Initial Member on a timely basis information needed to 

enable the Initial Member to prepare the Monthly Report). For the Distribution Date 

immediately preceding the Maturity Date for each Class of Purchase Money Notes, the Manager 

shall also deliver to the Paying Agent and each Beneficiary a Maturity Date Report with respect 

to such Class of Purchase Money Notes. The Manager also shall cause each Beneficiary to be 

furnished with the Custodian and Paying Agent Report in accordance with the terms of the 

Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. Each Monthly Report (including the Cash Flow and 

Distribution Report and the Maturity Date Report, as applicable) prepared and delivered by the 

Manager shall be certified by the chief financial officer (or an equivalent officer) ofthe Manager. 

Each Monthly Report prepared and delivered by the Manager shall also include a certification of

Agency Agreement.

Servicer and any Subservicer to, deliver to each Beneficiary on or before March 15 of each year, 

commencing in the year 2012, an officer's certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a 

review of such party's (in the case of the Manager, for the avoidance of doubt, in any capacity 

under this Agreement) activities during the preceding Fiscal Year (or other applicable period as 

set forth below in this Section 3(c)) and of its performance under the Applicable Agreements has 

been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge and 

belief, based on such review, such party (in the case of the Manager, for the avoidance of doubt, 

in any capacity under this Agreement) has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Applicable 

Agreements in all material respects throughout such year (or other applicable period as set forth 

below in this Section 3( c)) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any 

material respect, specifying each such failure and the nature and status thereof. The first such 

officer's certificate shall cover the period commencing on the Closing Date (and with respect to 

each Asset, shall include relevant information with respect thereto for the period commencing on 

the Servicing Transfer Date for such Asset) and continuing through the end of the 2011 Fiscal 

Year. In the event the Servicer or any Subservicer was terminated, resigned or otherwise 

performed in such capacity for only part of a year (or other applicable period, as the case may be, 

with respect to the period commencing, with respect to any Asset, on the applicable Servicing 

Transfer Date through the end of the 2011 Fiscal Year), such party shall provide an officer's 

certificate pursuant to this Section 3(c) with respect to such portion of the year (or other

independent certified public accountants to the effect that, with respect to the prior Fiscal Year 

(or other applicable period as set forth below), such firm has examined certain records and 

documents relating to compliance with the servicing requirements in the LLC Operating 

Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and that, on the basis of such examination conducted 

substantially in compliance with either the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage 

Bankers or Item 1122 of Regulation AB, such firm is of the opinion that the Manager's or its 

Servicer's or Subservicers' activities have been conducted in compliance with the LLC 

Operating Agreement (including, to the extent applicable pursuant to Section 12.3(e) of the LLC 

Operating Agreement, Regulation AB) and the Servicing Agreement, or that such examination 

has disclosed no material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm 

believes to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in the report. The first 

such reports shall cover the period commencing on the Closing Date (and with respect to each 

Asset, shall include the relevant information with respect thereto for the period from the 

applicable Servicing Transfer Date) and continuing through the end of the 2011 Fiscal Year.

Escrow Accounts or any other matters relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction 

Documents, or the rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder, with the Company's, the 

Manager's, the Servicer's and any Subservicer's officers, directors, employees, attorneys and 

accountants (and by this provision the Company and the Manager hereby irrevocably and 

unconditionally authorize the respective accountants of the Company, the Manager, the Servicer 

and any Subservicer to discuss such affairs, finances and accounts with such representatives). 

Any expense incurred by any Beneficiary and any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by 

the Company in connection with the exercise by such Beneficiary of its rights in this Section 3(e) 

shall be borne by such Beneficiary; provided, however, that any expense incident to the exercise 

of such rights pursuant to this Section 3(e) as a result of or during the continuance of an Event of 

Default (i) shall in all cases be borne by the Private Owner (except to the extent such Event of 

Default is attributable exclusively to a Manager having been appointed by such Beneficiary (in 

any capacity) following removal of the Private Owner in such applicable capacity, or to any 

applicable Servicer (and any of its Subservicers) having been engaged by such Beneficiary (in
