Section 5.           Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(a)          Subject to this Agreement, the A/B Co-Lender Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy and no other Noteholder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) of the A/B Co-Lender Agreement), the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Senior Noteholder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and the determination by the Special Servicer to sell the Lead Securitization Note in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, to sell the Lead Securitization Note and the Non-Lead Securitization Note together as notes evidencing one whole loan if the Special Servicer determines that including the Non-Lead Note in such sale is in accordance with the Servicing Standard in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell all of the Notes as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

 

Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder, such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Noteholder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the

Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

(d)          All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicer on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

 

(e)          For so long as a Senior Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Senior Note and the Junior Note shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Senior Noteholder pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) the Lead Securitization Noteholder may not modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G 2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Senior Note (or any portion thereof). The Noteholders agree that the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be effected by compliance by the Lead Securitization Noteholder or its assignees with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement which governs the administration of the Mortgage Loan or the Lead Securitization Noteholder’s interests therein.

(ii)          to consult with each Non-Controlling Noteholder (or its controlling class representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Noteholder (or its controlling class representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Noteholder (or its controlling class representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the Non-Controlling Noteholders (or their respective controlling class representatives) by the Lead Securitization Noteholder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with the Non-Controlling Noteholders (or their respective controlling class representatives), whether or not the Non-Controlling Noteholders (or their respective controlling class representatives) have responded within

 

16

 

 

such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).

 

Notwithstanding the consultation rights of a Non-Controlling Noteholder (or its controlling class representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or Servicer acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by a Non-Controlling Noteholder (or its controlling class representative).

(a)         If the Lead Securitization Noteholder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Noteholder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder's interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder), provided that the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is subject to tax.

 

(b)         The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Noteholder against and hold the Lead Securitization Noteholder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys' fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder to the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Noteholder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall, upon request of the Lead Securitization Noteholder and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Noteholder.

 

(c)         The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder represents to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Noteholder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Noteholder substantiating that the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Noteholder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the

District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an Internal Revenue Service Form W¬9 and (ii) if the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Noteholder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder, as evidence of the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder in respect of its Note or otherwise until the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Noteholder the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

 

Section 25.        Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Note and the Junior Note) will be held by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or a custodian acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.

 

Section 26.        Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or shall be in writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iv) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

 

All notices and reports (including, without limitation, Asset Status Reports) required to be delivered hereunder by the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative), or by the Controlling Noteholder (or its Controlling Noteholder Representative) to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf), shall also be delivered by the applicable party to the other Noteholders.

 

Section 27.        Termination of Agent. The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from the Lead Securitization Noteholder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 27, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.
