Section 5.    Administration of the Mortgage Loan.
(a)    Pursuant to this agreement, the Junior Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Senior Participant has been irrevocably selected to service the Mortgage Loan and is hereby made the “Servicer” of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, for all purposes and with all rights, delegations and powers as permitted thereunder; provided, however, that the Senior Participant may utilize a subservicer to perform such functions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or therein, but subject to the provisions of Section 5(d) requiring approval of Major Decisions by the Junior Participant, this includes an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, to execute documents or complete any necessary actions (including in foreclosure proceedings, to exercise a power of sale, or with respect to the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such underlying property) on behalf of the “Lender” under the Mortgage Loan Agreement and related Mortgage Loan Documents for all purposes that the Senior Participant or Servicer has hereunder and that the Lender has under the Mortgage Loan Agreement and related Mortgage Loan Documents. Subject to this Agreement (including, but subject to, the provisions of Section 5(d) requiring approval of Major Decisions by the Junior Participant), the Servicer 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 the Junior Participant

10




shall not have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the administration of, or exercise of the rights and remedies of the Senior Participant with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 5(d) requiring approval of Major Decisions by the Junior Participant), the Junior Participant agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer the rights, if any, that the Junior Participant has to, (i) call or cause the Senior Participant 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 Senior Participant to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Junior Participant to exercise its rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.
(b)    The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Addendum. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the Servicing Addendum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Senior Participant shall cause the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan, taking into account the interests of the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant (it being understood that the interest of the Junior Participant is a junior participation interest, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement). The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of the Junior Participant to exercise its rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan that occurs after the date hereof (entered into with the consent of the Participants that are entitled to consent at the time of such Workout pursuant to Section 5(d)), if the Mortgage Loan terms are modified such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate or scheduled amortization payments on such Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on such Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Senior Participant pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of the Senior Participation remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, and the Junior Participation shall bear the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout (up to the amount otherwise due on the Junior Participation). Subject to this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 5(d) requiring approval of Major Decisions by the Junior Participant), in the case of any modification or amendment described above, the Senior Participant, will have the sole authority and ability to revise the payment provisions set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 above in a manner that reflects the subordination of the Junior Participation to the Senior Participation with respect to the loss that is the result of such amendment or modification, including: (i) the ability to increase the Senior Participation Percentage Interest and to reduce the Junior Participation Percentage Interest in a manner that reflects a loss in principal as a result of such amendment or modification; and (ii) the ability to change the Senior Participation Rate and the Junior Participation Rate, as applicable, in order to reflect a reduction in the Interest Rate of the Mortgage Loan, but the Senior Participant shall not be permitted to change the order of the clauses set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof. If on any date where LIBOR (or the Alternative Index, if applicable) is required to

11




be determined by the Servicer, but the Servicer is unable to determine LIBOR (or the Alternative Index, if applicable), the Senior Participation Rate and the Junior Participation Rate will be based on an alternative index and spread chosen by the Servicer in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents, which reflects, as closely as possible, the original economics among the Participants hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may take any action before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period (or such shorter period) if (A) the Servicer has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would violate applicable law and/or the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (B) it has delivered written notice to the Junior Participant at least two (2) Business Days prior to taking such action (except in cases of emergency, when no prior notice need be sent, in which event the acting party shall so advise the Junior Participant with reasonable diligence of the action taken). Upon reasonable request, the Servicer shall provide the Junior Participant with any information the Servicer possesses regarding Major Decisions, including, without limitation, its reasons for determining to take a proposed Major Decision.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5(d), the Servicer shall not comply with any advice, consultation or disapproval provided by any Participant, if such advice, consultation or disapproval would (i) require or cause the Servicer to violate any applicable law, (ii) require or cause the Servicer to violate the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) require or cause the Servicer to violate the terms of the Mortgage Loan, (iv) expose any Participant or their affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, or (v) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder.

The Initial Senior Participant represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing,

14

The Senior Participant hereby acknowledges that, other than the representations and warranties provided herein, the Junior Participant has made no representations or warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and that, subject to such representations and warranties as provided by the Junior Participant herein, the Junior Participant shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished to the Junior Participant in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

16




Section 13.    Not a Security. The Senior Participation and the Junior Participation shall not be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Section 14.    Other Business Activities of the Participants. Each Participant acknowledges that the Participants or their Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Person’s ownership of a mezzanine loan with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or its Affiliates shall not make such Person a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party,” until such Person has exercised and consummated its right to foreclose thereunder in accordance with the terms of any applicable intercreditor agreement.
Section 15.    Sale of the Junior Participation and the Senior Participation.
(a)    The Junior Participant agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Junior Participation (a “Transfer”) without the Senior Participant’s prior written consent, which consent shall be in the Senior Participant’s sole and absolute discretion. If the Junior Participation is held by more than one Junior Participant at any time, the holders of a majority of the Junior Participation Principal Balance of the Junior Participation shall immediately appoint a representative to exercise all rights of the Junior Participation hereunder. The Junior Participant agrees it will pay the expenses of the Senior Participant (including all expenses of the Servicer) in connection with any such Transfer.
(b)    All Transfers under Section 15(a) shall be made upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Senior Participant, and each transferee shall (i) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Junior Participant hereunder with respect to the Junior Participation from and after the date of such assignment and (ii) agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of the Junior Participation in accordance with this Agreement, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to the Junior Participation (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer. In connection with any such permitted transfer of a portion of the Junior Participation and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Senior Participant need only recognize the majority holder of the Junior Participation (or, if so appointed, a representative pursuant to the terms of clause (a) above) for purposes of notices, consents and other communications between the Senior Participant and such majority holder of the Junior Participation (or, if so appointed, a representative pursuant to the terms of clause (a) above) shall be the only Person authorized hereunder to exercise any rights of the Junior Participant under

17




this Agreement; provided, however, that the majority holder of the Junior Participation (or, if so appointed, a representative pursuant to the terms of clause (a) above) may from time to time designate any other Person as an additional party entitled to receive notices, consents and other communications and/or to exercise rights on behalf of the Junior Participant hereunder by delivering written notice thereof to the Senior Participant, and, from and after delivery of such notice, such designee shall be so authorized hereunder and shall be the only party entitled to receive such notices, consents and such other communications and/or to exercise such rights.
(c)    The Senior Participant shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Senior Participation to any Person without the prior consent of Junior Participant; provided, however, that following any Transfer of the Senior Participation, the Mortgage Loan continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the terms herein by a servicer unaffiliated with the Mortgage Loan Borrower; and further provided, that any Person to whom the Senior Participation is transferred (i) agrees to assume the obligations and agreements of the Senior Participant pursuant to Section 33 and (ii) demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Junior Participant that such Person has the ability to fund the Additional Loan; provided that any Affiliate of the Senior Participant is deemed to have sufficient ability for purposes of this clause (ii).
Section 16.    Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Participation Interest, a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Participant hereunder with respect to such Participation Interest thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 15, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Participation may be made unless it is registered on the Participation Register, and the Servicer shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Participation in violation of the provisions of Section 15 and this Section 16. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Participant desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Servicer and any other Participant against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 17.    Registration of the Senior Participation and the Junior Participation.
(a)    The Servicer shall keep, or cause to be kept, at the Servicer’s offices books (the “Participation Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Participations. The Servicer shall serve as the initial participation registrar and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Participations and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Participation of which the Servicer has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 16, and which Transfer was not made in violation of Section 15, shall be registered in the Participation Register. The Person in whose name a Participation is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the Initial Senior Participant and the Initial Junior Participant who may hold their participations through a nominee. Upon request of a Participant, the Servicer shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Participants.

18




(b)    If a Senior Participant or the Junior Participant effects a Transfer in accordance with Sections 15 and 16, at the written request of the Senior Participant or the Junior Participant, as applicable (or any transferee of all or any portion of the Senior Participation or the Junior Participation, as applicable), the Servicer, within ten (10) Business Days after such Senior Participant’s or the Junior Participant’s written request therefor, shall issue to such Senior Participant or the Junior Participant, as applicable, and to such transferee(s) one (1) or more participation certificates (each, in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C), reflecting the ownership interest of such Persons in such Senior Participation or the Junior Participation, as applicable. If the Senior Participant or the Junior Participant is identified on the Participation Register as the holder of any of a Senior Participation or the Junior Participation, as applicable, at the written request of the Senior Participant or the Junior Participant, as applicable, the Servicer, within ten (10) Business Days after such Senior Participant’s or the Junior Participant’s written request therefor, shall also provide replacement participation certificates for any lost participation certificate. The applicable Participant requesting such participation certificate(s) shall reimburse the Servicer for the Servicer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Servicer in connection with the terms of this Section 17(b).
Section 18.    Statement of Intent. The Servicer and each Participant intend that the Participations be classified and maintained as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.
Section 19.    No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in any Mortgage Loan by (i) the Senior Participant to the Junior Participant or (ii) the Junior Participant to the Senior Participant. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Junior Participant shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for any Mortgage Loan (other than to be the named party of record thereon); provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then the Junior Participant shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(3)    none of the provisions of this subsection (D) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such independent contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

Exhibit D - 5




(4)    the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
(E)    The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any independent contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations under this Servicing Addendum for indemnification of such party by such independent contractor, and nothing in this Servicing Addendum shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. When and as necessary, the Servicer shall send to the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting rents in respect of, any REO Property.
(F)    With respect to the REO Property which the Servicer has determined to sell, the Servicer shall deliver to the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant an officers’ certificate to the effect that the Servicer has determined to sell such REO Property in accordance with this subsection (F). The Servicer may then offer to sell to any Person the REO Property (and shall on a monthly basis advise the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant in writing of the status of such REO Property) or, subject to the following sentence, purchase any such REO Property (in each case in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such purchase plus, without duplication, any Defaulted Mortgage Loan Additional Costs). The Servicer shall deliver such officers’ certificate and give the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property, and the Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for the REO Property in an amount at least equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such purchase plus, without duplication, any Defaulted Mortgage Loan Additional Costs or, at the Servicer’s option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such purchase plus, without duplication, any Defaulted Mortgage Loan Additional Costs, the Servicer may purchase the REO Property in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such purchase plus, without duplication, any Defaulted Mortgage Loan Additional Costs.

Exhibit D - 6




(G)    In the absence of any such offer or purchase by the Servicer as contemplated by the foregoing paragraph, the Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Servicer to be a fair price for such REO Property, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an interested Person, or if such offer is determined to be a fair price by the Senior Participant, if the highest offeror is an interested Person; provided that the Servicer shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant (which expense shall be borne on a pro rata basis based upon the Senior Participation Principal Balance and the Junior Participation Principal Balance, respectively), an appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a fair price; provided further that if the highest offeror is an interested Person, such offer shall not be accepted if it is less than the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such purchase plus, without duplication, any Defaulted Mortgage Loan Additional Costs.
(H)    The Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Servicer determines that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant. In addition, the Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer shall in no event sell the REO Property other than for cash.
(I)    In determining whether any offer received from an interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Servicer may conclusively rely on the opinion of an appraiser. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for the REO Property, the Servicer (if the highest offeror is not an interested Person) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, any updated appraisal previously obtained, the period and amount of any delinquency on the REO Property, the physical (including environmental) condition of the REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Servicer’s obligation to dispose of any REO Property as set forth in Section 2(b)(ii) of this Servicing Addendum.
(J)    Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2(b), the Servicer shall act on behalf of the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant in negotiating and taking other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of the REO Property shall be without recourse

Exhibit D - 7




to, or representation or warranty by, the Servicer or the Senior Participant or the Junior Participant, and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Servicing Addendum, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to the Senior Participant or the Junior Participant with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Servicer.
(K)    Within thirty (30) days after the sale of the REO Property, the Servicer shall provide to the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant a statement of accounting for such REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (ii) the gross sales price, the selling and other expenses and the net sales price, (iii) accrued interest on the Senior Participation Principal Balance at the applicable Senior Participation Rate, and on the Junior Participation Principal Balance at the Junior Participation Rate, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (iv) such other information as the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant may reasonably request. The Servicer shall file information returns regarding the abandonment or foreclosure of Mortgaged Property with the Internal Revenue Service at the time and in the manner required by the Code.
3.    Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2 of this Servicing Addendum, the Junior Participant hereby authorizes the Servicer to take legal action to enforce or protect the Junior Participant’s and the Senior Participant’s interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan. If the Servicer, any servicer, trustee or trust fund incurs any liabilities, costs, fees or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees), or makes any protective or other property advances on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower or other servicing and/or property advances and interest on such advances in connection with the Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 2 of this Servicing Addendum, any actual or proposed amendment or waiver of any term thereof or restructuring or refinancing thereof or with any effort to enforce or protect the Junior Participant’s or the Senior Participant’s rights or interests with respect thereto, then the Servicer shall be reimbursed promptly from payments otherwise distributable to the Junior Participant up to an amount equal to its pro rata share (based upon the Senior Participation Principal Balance and the Junior Participation Principal Balance, respectively), to the extent such costs are not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Advances will be netted against payments and proceeds of the Mortgage Loan prior to payments to the Senior Participant or the Junior Participant. To the extent any such amounts are not reimbursed by or on behalf of Mortgage Loan Borrower, the Servicer shall be reimbursed promptly from payments otherwise distributable to the Junior Participant up to an amount equal to its pro rata share of such amounts (based upon the Senior Participation Principal Balance and the Junior Participation Principal Balance, respectively). The Junior Participant shall not have any liability under this Section 3 in excess of the value of its Junior Participation or in excess of the payments due to such Junior Participant. To the extent that the Junior Participant advances any such costs prior to their being reimbursed by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower and such costs are subsequently recovered by the Servicer, the Junior Participant shall receive a pro rata reimbursement

Exhibit D - 8




from such recovery (based upon the respective amounts of such advances funded by the Junior Participant and the Servicer, respectively); provided that such recovery shall be payable, first, to the Servicer, and, thereafter, to the Junior Participant (in that order), in each case up to the amount of such costs actually paid by the Servicer and the Junior Participant, as the case may be.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Servicing Addendum, neither the Senior Participant nor the Junior Participant shall have any obligation to make any principal and/or interest advance with respect to any Participation.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Servicing Addendum, the Servicer shall cooperate in all reasonable respects to effectuate the financing arrangements contemplated in Section 33 of the Participation Agreement.
4.    Collection Account.
(a)    The Servicer shall administer any cash management accounts, deposit account control agreements, securities account control agreements and/or any other similar agreements in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and, on behalf of the Participants, enforce the provisions of such agreements.
(b)    Prior to the date hereof, the Servicer established or caused to be established and maintains one or more custodial accounts (each, a “Collection Account”) in trust for the benefit of the Participants, as their interests may appear, which shall at all times be entitled “CFI Hendon Holdings, LLC, as Servicer, for and on behalf of the Participants in accordance with that Amended and Restated Participation Agreement, dated February 4, 2019, Collection Account”. Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer. Interest or other income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be paid pro rata to the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. The Servicer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to the Collection Account amounts representing the following payments and collections received or made on or with respect to the Mortgage Loan:

(ii)    all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loan;
