(iii)    Any Related A-2 Holder shall be neither an Offeror nor an Offeree, and shall retain its A-2 Participation.
(iv)    The closing of the purchase and sale of a Holder’s Mortgage Loan Interests pursuant to the Buy/Sell Notice shall take place at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date specified by the Purchasing Holder, which date shall be no later than the tenth (10th) business day, and no earlier than the second (2nd) business day, after the end of the Decision Period (or on such other date as the Selling Holder and the Purchasing Holder mutually agree) (the “Closing Date”).

Any such representations and warranties may be assigned by Purchasing Holder in connection with a resale of the purchased Mortgage Loan Interests or any interest therein. Each Holder shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with a transfer pursuant to this Section 3.07(e).
(v)    All interest and other charges accrued on the Selling Holder’s Mortgage Loan Interests for the period up to the Closing Date and paid under the related Loan Documents or deemed to have been paid out of income from the Mortgaged Property shall be for the account of the Selling Holder, regardless of whether received by the Closing Date. All interest and other charges accruing after the Closing Date in respect of the Mortgage Loan Interests of the Selling Holder shall be for the account of the Purchasing Holder.
3.08    Actions Upon Actual Knowledge of Certain Matters. Promptly after Agent acquires actual knowledge thereof, Agent will use reasonable efforts to give written notice to each Holder of any material Lien on the Mortgaged Property or any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without, limitation, notice within two

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Agent shall have the right, in its reasonable judgment, to determine whether a particular matter is “material” as such term is used in this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

With respect to Agent’s ownership interest in the Mortgage Loan and the Loan Documents as A-1 Holder, Agent in its capacity as A-1 Holder shall have the rights and powers of a Holder under this Agreement and the Loan Documents as set forth herein and therein and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent hereunder. Agent and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any of its Affiliates and/or subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower, any of its Affiliates and/or subsidiaries, all as if the initial Holder were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the other Holders.
3.12    Change of Agent. Lender may not resign as Agent except (i) with the consent of all Holders (if any) that are not Related A-2 Holders (unless such resignation is required by law or Lender’s institutional policy, in which case the successor Agent will be appointed by the Non-Related A-2 Holders) or (ii) by assignment of the rights and obligations of Agent in connection with the assignment of all or a portion of Participation A-1, in which case the successor Agent will be appointed by such assignee.

If Agent or any nominee thereof acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, then all amounts derived from the operation and disposition of the Mortgaged Property shall be allocable among the Holders as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of each Holder to distributions of any nature with respect to its Participation shall be subject to the rights of the Agent to payments and reimbursements pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Amounts applied to any particular Participation or allocated to any particular Holder in accordance with this Section 4 will be applied to interest, principal and other amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Loan Documents and this Agreement.

Each Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Agent. The Agent shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from any Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Holder under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of each Holder under this Section 4.03 are separate and distinct obligations from one another. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 4.03 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.
