best interests of the Company, and the members and creditors of the Company (including the 

FDIC in its various capacities) and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (ii) without 

relieving the Servicer of any obligation elsewhere in this Agreement, and subject to any 

applicable Servicing Obligations, the Servicer shall not be required to act in accordance with a 

specific provision of this Section 3.4 if such action is (A) not in the best interests of Company 

and the members and creditors of the Company (including the FDIC in its various capacities), as 

determined by the Servicer in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, or (B) not in accordance 

with the Servicing Standard. 

(j) The Servicer shall furnish to the Manager, the Collateral Agent and the 

Initial Member such reports regarding the construction, leasing and sales efforts of or relating to

the Specified Date, commencing with April 2010 (or such other date as may be set forth in the 

Servicing Obligations), a monthly Electronic Report on the Loans and Underlying Collateral 

containing such information and substantially in the form set forth on Schedule 5 as the same 

may be amended from time to time by the Manager (without the consent of the Initial Member) 

and the Servicer (the “Electronic Report”). The Electronic Report shall include, but not be 

limited to, the information required for the Manager to prepare, in accordance with the LLC 

Operating Agreement, the “Distribution Date Report” and the “Monthly Report” (each as defined 

in the LLC Operating Agreement), and such other reports and information as the Manager shall 

reasonably require, to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Servicer. 

Notwithstanding the above, with respect to any period prior to the applicable Servicing Transfer 

Date, the applicable Electronic Reports may exclude certain of the information otherwise 

required to be included therein if and to the extent the Initial Member is obligated to provide 

such information (or other information that is a prerequisite to the Servicer being able to provide 

such information) to the Servicer and the Manager pursuant to the interim servicing and asset 

management support obligation set forth in Section 3.3 of the Contribution Agreement and the 

Initial Member fails to timely deliver such information to the Servicer and the Manager. 

(f) The Servicer shall deliver, and shall cause each Subservicer to deliver, to 

the Manager, on or before March 10th of each year, or such other day as the Manager and the 

Servicer may agree, commencing in the year 2011, an annual officer’s certificate stating, as to 

the signer thereof, that (i) a review of such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year 

(or other applicable period as set forth below in this Section 5.2(f)) and of its performance under 

this Agreement (or, as applicable, any Subservicing Agreement) 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 has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement (or, as applicable, any 

Subservicing Agreement) in all material respects throughout such year or portion thereof 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, with 

respect to any Loan, shall cover the period commencing on the Servicing Transfer Date and 

continuing through the end of the 2010 calendar year. In the event 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 Loan, on the Servicing Transfer Date through the end of the 2010 calendar year), such party 

shall provide an officer’s certificate pursuant to this Section 5.2 with respect to such portion of 

the year (or other applicable period). 

(g) On or before March 10th of each year, or such other day as the Manager 

and the Servicer agree, commencing in the year 2011, the Servicer shall, or shall cause each 

applicable Subservicer to, provide to the Manager (and/or to such other Person as the Manager 

may direct) the annual reports (including the independent accountant report) for the prior year (or 

other applicable period as set forth below) required under Section 1122 of Regulation AB 

(regardless of whether any such requirements apply, by their terms, only to companies registered 

or required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission) with respect to the

to the servicing being conducted under this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.5 above. The first 

such reports shall cover the period commencing on the Effective Date (and for each Loan, 

covering the period from the applicable Servicing Transfer Date) and continuing through the end 

of the 2010 calendar year. 

(h) In connection with the Manager’s obligations under the LLC Operating 

Agreement to prepare, review and periodically update Business Plans and Consolidated Business 

Plans, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Manager, and thereafter periodically update, 

such Business Plans and Consolidated Business Plans, or relevant portions thereof or information 

to be included therein, in each case to the extent set forth and required pursuant to Schedule 7 

hereto as the same may be amended from time to time by the Manager and the Servicer without 

the consent of the Initial Member (the “Business Plan Schedule”). Upon reasonable notice by 

the Initial Member, the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor or the Manager, the Servicer shall 

make its personnel who are familiar with the Business Plans and Consolidated Business Plans (or 

relevant portions thereof) available during normal business hours for the purposes of discussing 

such Business Plans and Consolidated Business Plans with representatives of the Initial Member, 

the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor and/or the Manager and responding to questions 

therefrom.

Manager, the Servicer shall, and shall cause each Subservicer to, (a) provide the Manager, the 

Purchase Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member and their respective representatives 

(including any Governmental Authority), during normal business hours and on reasonable notice,

the Loans or any Underlying Collateral, the Servicing Obligations, the Collection Account, the 

Escrow Accounts, any Other Accounts or any matters relating to this Agreement or the rights or 

obligations hereunder, (b) permit such representatives to make copies of and extracts from the 

same, (c) allow the Manager, the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member to 

cause such books to be audited by accountants selected by the Manager, the Purchase Money 

Notes Guarantor or the Initial Member, as applicable, and (d) allow the Manager, the Purchase 

Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member to discuss the Servicer’s and Subservicer’s 

affairs, finances and accounts, as they relate to the Loans, the Underlying Collateral, the 

Servicing Obligations, the Collection Account, the Escrow Accounts, and any Other Accounts or 

any other matters relating to this Agreement or the rights or obligations hereunder, with its 

officers, directors, employees, accountants (and by this provision the Servicer hereby authorizes 

such accountants to discuss such affairs, finances and accounts with such representatives), 

Subservicers, and attorneys. Any expense incurred by the Manager, the Purchase Money Notes 

Guarantor or the Initial Member and any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the 

Servicer in connection with the exercise by the Manager, the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor 

or the Initial Member of its rights in this Section 5.3 shall be borne by the Manager, the Purchase 

Money Notes Guarantor or the Initial Member, as applicable (and in all events subject to any

such other reports and access to records and reports as are required to be provided to the 

Manager, the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member hereunder, the Servicer 

shall cause to be delivered to the Manager such information relating to the Loans, the Underlying 

Collateral, the Servicer and any Subservicer as the Manager may reasonably request from time to 

time and, in any case, shall ensure that the Manager is promptly advised, in writing, of any 

matter of which the Servicer or Subservicer becomes aware relating to the Loans, any of the 

Underlying Collateral, the Collection Account, the Escrow Accounts, any accounts created under 

the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement, any Other Accounts or any Borrower or Obligor

replace any Subservicer upon the occurrence of any such event in accordance with the terms 

governing material breach or default under the applicable Subservicing Agreement; or 

(f) any other failure (other than those specified in any of Section 7.1(a) 

through (e)) by the Servicer to duly observe or perform any other covenants or agreements on the 

part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or to perform any Servicing Obligation in 

compliance with the Servicing Standard, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 

thirty (30) days, or such other period as the Manager, with the consent of the Initial Member, and 

the Servicer agree, after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given by 

the Manager or the Initial Member to the Servicer; provided, however, that in the case of a 

failure that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (or such other period as the Manager, with the 

consent of the Initial Member, and the Servicer agree) with the exercise of reasonable diligence, 

the cure period shall be extended for an additional thirty (30) days if the Servicer can 

demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Manager and the Initial Member that the 

Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial action; and provided, further, that, with respect to any 

such failure failure under this Section 7.1(f) that relates exclusively to obligations included in 

any applicable Schedule hereto that can be amended or otherwise modified without the consent 

of the Initial Member, then no such consent of the Initial Member shall be required with respect 

to an applicable cure period hereunder so long as the such failure hereunder is not, or would not 

result in, a failure by the Manager to comply with its obligations under the LLC Operating 

Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents; or 

(g) the occurrence of any “Event of Default,” as defined in the LLC Operating 

Agreement; or

Agreement) or the Initial Member, in addition to any other rights the Manager or the Initial 

Member may have at law (including under the Uniform Commercial Code) or equity, including 

injunctive relief, specific performance or otherwise, may (i) terminate this Agreement by 

providing a Termination Notice to the Servicer, (ii) terminate the Subservicing Agreements by

providing a written termination notice to the Servicer and the Subservicers, and (iii) otherwise 

enforce this Agreement, in any case, without penalty or payment of any fee. 

(b) The Servicer hereby consents to its immediate and automatic termination 

under this Agreement upon a Default under Section 7.1(b) of this Agreement. 

(c) Upon a default or failure of the Manager to perform its obligations under 

this Agreement in a material manner, including but not limited to, the failure of the Manager to 

pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee in a full and timely manner, the Servicer, in addition to any 

other rights it may have pursuant to this Agreement, at law or in equity, may terminate this 

Agreement by providing a Termination Notice to the Manager, with a copy to the Purchase 

Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member. The Termination Notice shall set forth with 

specificity the nature of the default or failure to perform of the Manager and provide the 

Manager with no less than thirty (30) days to cure any such default or failure to perform. In the 

event that the default or failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after the date of 

delivery of the Termination Notice, the Servicer shall provide a second Termination Notice to 

the Manager with a copy to the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member, which 

second Termination Notice shall be prominently labeled as the “Second Termination Notice”. 

Such Second Termination Notice shall confirm to the Manager that the Servicer shall continue to 

perform the Servicing Obligations under this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) ninety 

(90) days after the delivery of the Second Termination Notice to the Manager, the Purchase 

Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member, and (ii) the transfer of the Servicing Obligations 

to a successor Servicer. The duty of the Servicer to continue to perform the Servicing 

Obligations as provided in the Second Termination Notice is contingent upon the timely and full 

payment of the Servicing Fee to the Servicer during such period. The Servicer shall cooperate 

fully and completely with the transition of the Servicing Obligations to a successor Servicer in 

order to assure an orderly transfer. 

Section 7.3 Termination without Cause . 

(a) The Manager may, without cause, terminate this Agreement, upon 

providing a Termination Notice to the Servicer, but only as and in accordance with the 

provisions set forth on Schedule 6 as the same may be amended from time to time by the 

Manager (without the Initial Member’s consent) and the Servicer. 

(b) The Servicer may, at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective 

Date and thereafter, without cause, terminate this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement 

by the Servicer shall be effective unless the Servicer delivers to the Manager, with a copy to the 

Purchase Money Notes Guarantor and the Initial Member, a Termination Notice, which for the 

purpose of this Section 7.3(b) shall be a notice of the Servicer’s intent to terminate this 

Agreement. Such Termination Notice shall be provided at least sixty (60) days prior to any date 

specified by the Servicer as the date of termination of the Servicer’s Obligations under this 

Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Termination Notice shall not be effective 

unless the Termination Notice contains confirmation of the intent and obligation of the Servicer 

to continue to perform its Servicing Obligations until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the 

Termination Notice is given and (ii) such other date on which the Servicing Obligations are 

transferred to a successor Servicer in an orderly manner. Servicer shall cooperate fully and

completely with the transition of the Servicing Obligations to a successor Servicer, to be 

designated by the Manager, in order to assure an orderly transfer. The Servicer issuing the 

Termination Notice shall be liable for all costs associated with the transfer of Servicing 

Obligations to the successor Servicer, including but not limited to the costs of transporting the 

servicing files and the provision of any notices to Borrowers. 

Section 7.4 Effective Termination Date. Termination as specified in this Article VIII 

shall be effective at such time as is specified in the Termination Notice. In the event of such 

termination, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect 

to the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Manager or the successor servicer 

designated by the Manager in the case of termination by the Manager or as designated by solely 

by the Initial Member (or any successor “Manager” under the LLC Operating Agreement) in the 

case of termination by the Initial Member (or such successor “Manager” under the LLC 

Operating Agreement). The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Manager, the Initial Member, 

any successor “Manager” under the Operating Agreement and any successor servicer with 

respect to the timely and orderly transition of its obligations under this Agreement. The Servicer 

shall be liable for all obligations of the Servicer that have accrued under this Agreement or at 

Law prior to such termination. 

Section 7.5 Accounting . Upon termination of this Agreement as set forth herein, the 

Servicer shall account for and turn over to the Manager or its designee (or, if applicable, pursuant 

to such instructions as may be provided by the Initial Member or any successor “Manager” 

pursuant to the LLC Operating Agreement) funds collected under the terms of this Agreement. 

The Servicer shall provide written notice in conformance with all applicable Law to the 

Borrowers to indicate that their Loans will henceforth be serviced by the Manager (or applicable 

successor “Manager” under the LLC Operating Agreement) or any applicable successor Servicer 

designated by the Manager (or any successor “Manager” under the LLC Operating Agreement) 

or the Initial Member as the case may be, and transfer its duties as the Servicer to the Manager 

(or successor “Manager” under the LLC Operating Agreement) or such successor Servicer.

Section 8.1 Independence of Parties. The Servicer shall have the status of, and act as, 

an independent contractor. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to create a partnership or 

joint venture or any similar relationship between the Manager and the Servicer. 

Section 8.2 Indemnification. The Servicer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold 

harmless the Company, the Manager, the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor, the Initial Member 

and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents and each of their 

respective successors and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all 

claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, assessments, losses, costs, expenses (including 

attorneys’ fees), damages and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever directly or indirectly 

resulting from or arising out of or related to (i) any inaccuracy in any of the Servicer’s warranties 

or representations contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure by the Servicer to observe or 

perform any or all of the Servicer’s covenants, agreements or warranties contained in this 

Agreement, (iii) any act taken by the Servicer purportedly pursuant to a power of attorney

granted by the Manager which act results in a claim related to the unlawful use of such power of 

attorney, and/or (iv) any failure by the Servicer or any Subservicer to discharge obligations on 

any Underlying Collateral relating to taxes, ground rents or other such recurring charges 

generally accepted by the mortgage servicing industry, which would become a Lien on the 

Underlying Collateral. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Indemnified Party if a claim is 

made with respect to this Agreement or any Loans or Underlying Collateral, assume (with prior 

consent of the Indemnified Party) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in 

connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any 

judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any Indemnified Party in respect of such 

claim. No expenses incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in connection with its 

obligations under this Section 8.2 shall constitute Servicing Expenses or otherwise be deducted 

from or reimbursed out of Loan Proceeds. The Servicer shall follow any reasonable written 

instructions received from the Indemnified Party in connection with such claims, it being 

understood that the Indemnified Party shall have no duty to monitor or give instructions with 

respect to such claims. 

Section 8.3 Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly upon receipt of written notice of 

any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, 

the Indemnified Party will use its best efforts to notify the Servicer in writing thereof in 

sufficient time for the Servicer to respond to such claim. Except to the extent that the Servicer is 

prejudiced thereby, the failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Servicer of any 

such claim shall not relieve the Servicer from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified 

Party in connection therewith. If any claim shall be asserted or commenced against the 

Indemnified Party, the Servicer will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent it may 

wish to assume the defense, conduct or settlement thereof, it shall be entitled to do so with 

counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in the event the 

Servicer fails, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, vigorously to defend or 

pursue or attempt to settle such claim, the Manager shall have the right to assume the conduct, 

defense or settlement thereof, provided that the Manager shall obtain the prior written approval 

of the Indemnified Party before ceasing to defend against any claim or entering into any 

settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim involving injunctive or similar equitable 

relief being imposed upon any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. After notice from the 

Servicer to the Manager of its election to assume the defense, conduct or settlement thereof, the 

Servicer will not be liable to the Manager for any legal or other expenses consequently incurred 

by the Manager in connection with the defense, conduct or settlement thereof. 

Section 8.4 Pre-Effective Date Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 

herein, but without limitation of the release set forth in Section 11.13, it is understood and agreed 

that the Servicer shall not be liable to the Manager for any liabilities or obligations attributable to 

an act, omission or circumstances of the Initial Member, the FDIC, the Failed Banks and the 

Company that occurred or existed prior to the Effective Date or, with respect to any particular 

Loan, the Servicing Transfer Date applicable thereto (the “Pre-Existing Liabilities”). In the 

event there is asserted against the Company, the Manager, the Servicer or any Subservicer any 

claim or action with respect to any such Pre-Existing Liabilities, the Servicer or Subservicer, as 

applicable, shall notify the Manager and the Initial Member of such claim or action in 

accordance with Article IX. Except as provided otherwise in Section 8.2 and 8.3 above (in the 

event that such claim or action is subject to the indemnification obligations of Servicer pursuant

to Section 8.1 above), the Manager shall have the right to control and assume the defense of the 

Company, the Manager, the Servicer and the Subservicer with respect to such claim or action at 

the Manager’s expense. The Servicer shall be reimbursed by the Manager in connection with the 

foregoing only to the extent of and in accordance with the terms set forth on Schedule 4 , as the 

same may be amended from time to time by the Manager (without the consent of the Initial 

Member) and the Servicer.

purported sale, sub-participation or assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 11.1(a) 

shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever.

Section 11.4 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in

shall constitute but one and the same agreement. This Agreement and any amendments hereto, 

to the extent signed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic means, shall be treated in all 

manner and respects as an original agreement and shall be considered to have the same binding 

legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No signatory to 

this Agreement shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a 

signature or the fact that any signature or agreement was transmitted or communicated through 

the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation or 

enforceability of a contract and each such Person forever waives any such defense. 

Section 11.5 Headings. Paragraph titles or captions contained in this Agreement are

Section 11.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or 

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, but such ineffectiveness shall be limited as 

follows: (i) if such provision is prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction only as to a 

particular Person or Persons and/or under any particular circumstance or circumstances, such 

provision shall be ineffective, but only in such jurisdiction and only with respect to such 

particular Person or Persons and/or under such particular circumstance or circumstances, as the 

case may be; (ii) without limitation of clause (i), such provision shall in any event be ineffective 

only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and 

such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render 

unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; and (iii) without limitation of clauses (i) 

or (ii), such ineffectiveness shall not invalidate any of the remaining provisions of this 

Agreement. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, it is the intent of the parties to this 

Agreement that in the event that in any court proceeding, such court determines that any 

provision of this Agreement is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (because of the 

duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of such provision, or for any other reason) such 

court shall have the power to, and shall, (x) modify such provision (including without limitation, 

to the extent applicable, by limiting the duration or scope of such provision and/or the Persons 

against whom, and/or the circumstances under which, such provision shall be effective in such 

jurisdiction) for purposes of such proceeding to the minimum extent necessary so that such

Section 11.8 Third Party Beneficiaries. The Initial Member shall be and is hereby 

designated as a third party beneficiary under this Agreement, and, as such, the Initial Member is 

entitled to enforce this Agreement as if the Initial Member were a party hereto. The Company, 

the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor, and the FDIC shall be and are hereby designated as third 

party beneficiaries under this Agreement with respect to those provisions of this Agreement 

which expressly grant rights to such Persons, and, as such, each is entitled to enforce such 

provisions of this Agreement as if such Person were a party hereto. Notwithstanding the 

foregoing, none of the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor, the FDIC, the Company and the Initial 

Member shall have any obligation to undertake any of the duties of the Manager hereunder and 

or have any liability whatsoever to the Servicer, any Subservicer or any other party related to this 

Agreement. There shall be no other third party beneficiaries. The rights of the Purchase Money 

Notes Guarantor as a third party beneficiary hereunder shall terminate at such time as the 

Purchase Money Notes Guarantor notifies the Servicer that the reimbursement obligations in 

favor of the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor under the Reimbursement, Security and Guaranty 

Agreement have been paid in full, but shall be reinstated in the event that the Purchase Money 

Notes Guarantor party notifies the Servicer that such obligations have been reinstated in 

accordance with its terms. 

Section 11.9 Protection of Confidential Information. The Servicer shall keep 

confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the Manager’s prior written consent, any 

information pertaining to the LLC Operating Agreement, the Loans or any Borrower or Obligor 

or the Underlying Collateral thereunder, except as required pursuant to this Agreement and 

except to the extent that it is necessary and appropriate for the Servicer to do so in working with 

legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities, regulatory authorities or any other Governmental 

Authority or in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, that, to the extent that 

disclosure should be required by law, rule, regulation (including any securities listing 

requirements or the requirements of any self-regulatory organization), subpoena, or in 

connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding (including in connection with or pursuant to 

any action, suit, subpoena, arbitration or other dispute resolution process or other legal 

proceedings, whether civil or criminal, and including before any court or administrative or 

legislative body), the Servicer will use all reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will 

(unless otherwise prohibited by law) notify the Manager and the Initial Member and the Purchase 

Money Notes Guarantor within one (1) Business Day after its knowledge of such legally required 

disclosure so that the Manager, the Initial Member and/or the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor 

may seek an appropriate protective order and/or direct the Manager to waiver the Servicer’s 

compliance with this Agreement. Notice shall be by telephone, by email and in writing. In the 

absence of a protective order or waiver, the Servicer may make such required disclosure if, in the 

written opinion of its outside counsel (which opinion shall be provided to the Manager, the Initial 

Member and the Purchase Money Notes Guarantor prior to disclosure pursuant to this Section 

11.9), failure to make such disclosure would subject the Servicer to liability for contempt, 

censure or other legal penalty or liability. 

Section 11.10 Time of Essence . Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this 

Agreement and of every part hereof. 

Section 11.11 No Presumption. This Agreement shall be construed fairly as to each 

party hereto and if at any time any such term or condition is desired or required to be interpreted 

Multibank Structured Transaction 2009-1 CRE 

Servicing Agreement

or construed, no consideration shall be given to the issue of who actually prepared, drafted or 

requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject 

hereto. 

Section 11.12 No Right of Setoff. The Servicer hereby waives any and all rights it may 

otherwise have (whether by contract or operation of Law or otherwise) to any setoff, offset, 

counterclaim or deduction (or to assert any claim for any setoff, offset counterclaim or 

deduction) against the Loan Proceeds (or the Company). 

Section 11.13 Release of Initial Member and Others. The Servicer hereby releases and 

discharges each Prior Servicer from any and all claims (including any counterclaim or defensive 

claim), demands, causes of action, judgments or legal proceedings and remedies of whatever 

kind or nature that the Servicer had, has or might have in the future, whether known or unknown, 

which are related in any manner whatsoever to the servicing of the Loans or Underlying 

Collateral prior to the applicable Servicing Transfer Date by the Prior Servicers, in each case 

other than for acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, violation of law or willful 

misconduct of such Prior Servicer.

G. Limitation on Actions . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the 

contrary, Servicer shall not take, and shall ensure that any subcontractor does not take, any 

action or series of actions prior to foreclosure with respect to any property securing any 

Loan that would cause Manager or the Company or its owners (i) to become liable under
