(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (A) any purchase of the Mortgage Loan by the Participation B Holder pursuant to Section 20 shall require the purchase of Participation A as provided in Section 20 as a condition to purchasing the Mortgage Loan, and any such purchase shall be made within the time frames, and in accordance with the procedures, required by Section 20 (and the Participation A Holder shall calculate the Defaulted Mezzanine A Loan Purchase Price in sufficient time to permit payment of such Defaulted Mezzanine A Loan Purchase Price in accordance with such procedures), and (B) in the event that the Participation A Holder shall have purchased the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 20, then the Participation B Holder acquiring Participation A pursuant to this Section 9 shall also be required to purchase the Mortgage Loan from the Participation A Holder pursuant to Section 20 and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) (i) In the event that the Mezzanine A Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest on the Mezzanine A Loan (a “Monetary Default”) by the end of the applicable grace period (the “Grace Period”) for such payment permitted under the applicable Mezzanine A Loan Documents or the Mezzanine A Borrower otherwise defaults and does not cure such default within the applicable grace period (also a “Grace Period”), then upon notice from the Servicer (or, if Servicer fails to give such notice, then upon Participation B Holder’s notice to Participation A Holder and the Servicer of such occurrence) (a “Mezzanine A Default Notice”) of such occurrence, the Participation B Holder shall have the right, exercisable by the Participation B Holder by giving written notice within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Mezzanine A Default Notice, to cure such default, (a) in the case of a Monetary Default within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Mezzanine A Default Notice and (b) in the case of a default, other than a Monetary Default or a bankruptcy of the Mezzanine A Borrower, within 30 days of receipt of the Mezzanine A Default Notice as long as the Participation B Holder is diligently proceeding with such cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a non-monetary default, if such non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within the period required above and if curative action was promptly commenced and is being continuously and diligently pursued by the Participation B Holder, the Participation B Holder shall be given an additional period of time (not to exceed sixty (60) days unless the Participation B Holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing foreclosure) as is reasonably necessary for the Participation B Holder in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default for so long as (i) the Participation B Holder shall be curing all monetary defaults under the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine A Loan, and (ii) during such non-monetary cure period, there is no material impairment, as determined in the reasonable judgment of Participation A Holder, to the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the Separate Collateral related to the Mezzanine A Loan, or by reason of the continuation of such cure period; provided, however, that any additional cure period granted to the Participation B Holder hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of the Mortgage Borrower or the Mezzanine A Borrower. In addition, the Participation B Holder may not cure: (a) more than three (3) successive defaults of the same type, (b) more than four (4) defaults in any twelve (12) month period, or (c) more than six (6) defaults during the term of the Mezzanine A Loan. At the time such cure payment is made or other cure is otherwise effected, the Participation B Holder shall pay or reimburse the Participation A Holder and the Servicer for all costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Participation A Holder during the period of time from the expiration of such Grace Period until such cure payment is made or other cure is otherwise effected (“Cure Period Liabilities”) (excluding any such Cure Period Liabilities resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a violation of this Agreement or the Mezzanine A Loan Documents by, the Participation A Holder or the Servicer).

(ii) So long as a Monetary Default exists for which a cure payment permitted hereunder is made, or a non-monetary default exists for which Participation B Holder (or its designee) is pursuing a cure within the time limit and in accordance with the terms of this Section 9(b), then for a period of up to ninety (90) days (or such additional time as may be necessary if the Participation B Holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing foreclosure of the Separate Collateral) such Monetary Default or non-monetary default shall not be treated as an Event of Default by the Servicer or the Participation A Holder (A) for purposes of Sections 4 and 5 hereof or (B) for purposes of accelerating the

Mezzanine A Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the collateral provided under the Mezzanine A Loan Documents; provided that such limitations shall not prevent the Servicer from sending notices of the default to the Mezzanine A Borrower or any related guarantor or making demands on the Mezzanine A Borrower or any related guarantor or from collecting default interest or late payment charges from the Mezzanine A Borrower; provided further that such limitations shall not prevent the Controlling Holder from, in accordance with the terms hereof, enforcing the rights or remedies of the Mezzanine A Lender under the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement. The right of the Participation B Holder to reimbursement of any payment made by the Participation B Holder in respect of a cure hereunder (“Mezzanine A Loan Cure Payment”) shall be subordinate in all respects to the right of the Participation A Holder to distributions with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan and to all amounts distributable to it, as and to the extent set forth in Section 4 or 5, as applicable.

Each Participation Holder acknowledges that the Mezzanine A Loan is subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

13. No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute among the parties to this Agreement a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. None of the Mezzanine A Lender and the Participation Holders shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Participation Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or interests relating to any future loans originated by such parties or any of their Affiliates, and if any such party chooses to offer to the other Participation Holder, the opportunity to purchase notes or interests in any future mortgage loans originated by such party or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such party chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Participation Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from the other Participation Holder or the Mezzanine A Lender any notes or interests in any future loans originated by such party or any of its Affiliates.

14. Not a Security. Neither Participation A nor Participation B shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

15. Transfer of Participations. (a) A Participation Holder shall not Transfer any of its beneficial interest in its Participation unless (i) the consent of the other Participation Holder (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) has been obtained, and, to the extent required under the Intercreditor Agreement, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (ii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee, and such Transfer otherwise complies with Section 15 of the Intercreditor Agreement, or (iii) such Transfer is of less then forty-nine percent (49%) of the Participation Holder’s interest (provided in such event that no Participation Holder shall Transfer or allow any transferee to further transfer such Participation if more than 49% in the aggregate of the original Participation held by such Participation Holder will be held by a Person other than a Qualified Transferee). Any such transferee (other than, except as required pursuant to Section 16 hereof, a Loan Pledgee) must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Participation Holder hereunder accruing from and after the date of such Transfer and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof and in the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon such Transfer effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferring Participation Holder shall be released from any and all liabilities or obligations accruing hereunder to the holder of the related

 

-26-


Participation from and after the date of such Transfer. Such proposed transferee shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein (except those in the second sentence of Section 10) for the benefit of the Mezzanine A Lender and the other Participation Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participation Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Participation to Mezzanine A Borrower or a Mezzanine A Borrower Related Party and any such transfer without the consent of the other Participation Holder shall be void.

(b) At least three (3) Business days prior to any Transfer of a Participation, the transferring Participation Holder shall provide to the Mezzanine A Lender and the other Participation Holders and, if any Certificates are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such Transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 15, such certification to include the name and contact information of the Qualified Transferee.

(c) Each Participation Holder acknowledges that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge customary fees in connection with any such action.

(d) In connection with a Transfer pursuant to this Section 15, the transferee of a Participation shall be responsible for providing written notice to the Servicer of such Transfer, which notice shall contain the name, address and contact information of such transferee and wire transfer or other payment instructions for distributions to be made to such transferee by the Servicer. The Servicer shall not be liable for any failure to make distributions to a transferee resulting from a failure of such transferee to provide the notice required under this Section 15(d) to the Servicer.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15, a Holder shall have no right to Transfer all or any portion of its legal and beneficial interest in its Participation in the event such Transfer is not permitted under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any such Transfer shall be deemed to be prohibited under the terms of this Agreement and shall be null and void.

(f) The Participation Holders acknowledge that the Servicer shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Participation Holders, from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Servicer, by the Participation Holders (the “Participation Record”). Each Participation Holder will inform the Servicer of its name, address, wiring instructions and taxpayer identification number. Upon the sale of a Participation or portion thereof, the transferring Participation Holder shall inform the Servicer in writing that such transfer has taken place and provide the Servicer with the name, address, wiring instructions and tax identification number of the transferee. In the event a Participation Holder transfers its Participation without notice to the Servicer, the Servicer shall have no liability for any misdirected payment on such Participation and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment. If any Participation Holder transfers a Participation or a portion thereof, at the written request of the transferring Participation Holder (or any transferee of all or a portion of the applicable Participation), the Mezzanine A Lender shall issue to the requesting Person and/or such transferee(s) one or more substitute participation certificates (each, in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C), reflecting the ownership interest of

 

-27-


such Person and transferee(s) in the applicable Participation. The requesting Participation Holder shall reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the terms of this Section 15(g). The Servicer shall promptly provide the names and addresses of the Participation Holders to any other party hereto or any successor Participation Holder upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names and addresses.

Upon request by Participation B Holder, the Mezzanine A Lender (as holder of legal title to the Mezzanine A Loan) shall issue a new participation certificate with a revised schedule of the principal balance thereof reflecting the increase in the Participation B Principal Balance. The Participation B Holder shall reimburse the Mezzanine A Lender for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the terms of this paragraph.

The Servicer shall also note on the Participation Record any Pledges entered into by a Participation Holder and any Redirection Notices received in respect of such Pledges to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Servicer. The Servicer shall have no liability for any misdirected payment made in reliance on such Redirection Notices that it in good faith believes to be genuine.

(g) For so long as the full principal amount of Participation B has not been advanced, any Transfer of any portion of Participation B shall not include a Transfer of any portion of the Participation B Holder’s Future Advance Obligations unless (1) the consent of the Participation A Holder has been obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (2) such transferee is a Qualified Transferee (with a rating of A- or better from S&P if the Future Advance has not been fully funded). Any Transfer of any Future Advance Obligations or portions thereof shall be subject to the following restrictions: (i) all such Transfers shall be made upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Holders, and (ii) the transferee shall (x) 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 transferring party hereunder with respect to the Future Advance from and after the date of such assignment, (y) agree in writing to be bound by the Servicing Agreement and (z) assume the obligations of the transferring party to make the Future Advance under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.

16. Financing of a Participation. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, a Participation Holder may enter into a pledge (a “Pledge”) of its Participation to any entity which has extended a credit facility to such Participation Holder and would otherwise be deemed to be either a Qualified Transferee (a “Loan Pledgee”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16 and Section 16 of the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon written notice by a Participation Holder to the Mortgage Lender, the Servicer and each other Participation Holder that the Pledge has been effected, each Participation Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and following receipt of such notice (whether or not receipt is acknowledged) agrees: (a) to give Loan Pledgee a copy of each written notice of default given to the pledging Participation Holder; (b) to allow Loan Pledgee a period of at least ten (10) days (in respect of a

 

-28-


monetary default) and a reasonable period of not less than thirty (30) days, but not more than sixty (60) days (in respect of a non-monetary default) to cure a default by the pledging Participation Holder in respect of its obligations hereunder, but Loan Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (c) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of any of the Participation Holder’s rights under this Agreement shall be effective without the written consent of Loan Pledgee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (d) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the Servicer by Loan Pledgee that the pledging Participation Holder is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under such Participation Holder’s obligations to Loan Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Participation Holder and Loan Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Participation Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Loan Pledgee, the Servicer shall remit to Loan Pledgee and not to the pledging Participation Holder, any payments that the Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Participation Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, any Mezzanine A Loan Document, the Servicing Agreement or any other agreement between Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine A Lender that relates to the Mortgage Loan and/or the Mezzanine A Loan, as applicable. Each Participation Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the Servicer, each other Participation Holder and the Mezzanine A Lender from any liability to such Participation Holder on account of such parties’ compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by such party to have been delivered by Loan Pledgee. The Loan Pledgee shall be permitted to fully exercise its rights and remedies against the pledging Participation Holder, and realize on any and all collateral granted by such Participation Holder to Loan Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Mezzanine A Lender, the Servicer and each other Participation Holder shall recognize any Loan Pledgee that is, and any purchaser which is also, a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by Loan Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of such foreclosure and its successors and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Participation Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement and the Mezzanine A Loan Documents and any such Loan Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in the writing the obligations of such Participation Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof. The rights of Loan Pledgee under this Section 16 shall remain effective unless and until Loan Pledgee shall have notified the Mezzanine A Lender, the Servicer and each other Participation Holder in writing that its interest in the pledged Participation has terminated,

17. Other Business Activities of the Participation A Holder and Participation B Holder. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that each Participation Holder may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Mezzanine A Borrower (the “Mezzanine A Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mezzanine A 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.

18. Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer. (a) Each Participation Holder acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) the Servicer may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights that the Participation A Holder may have hereunder in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of the Participation B Holder, so long as such actions

 

-29-


are in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (ii) the Servicer shall not have any liability whatsoever to any Participation Holder as a result of the Servicer’s exercise of such rights or any omission to exercise such rights, except as expressly provided herein or for acts or omissions that are taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer that constitute the negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer or a breach of this Agreement, and (iii) the Servicer shall service and administer the Mezzanine A Loan on behalf of the Participation Holders in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of the Participation Holders; but in all cases recognizing the fact that Participation B is subject and subordinate to Participation A in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Participation Holder agrees that the Servicer, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement and subject to Section 19, shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mezzanine A Loan (except with respect to the funding of Future Advances pursuant to Section 17 and as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement), including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority (i) to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, (ii) to consent to any action or failure to act by the Mezzanine A Borrower or any party to the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, (iii) to vote all claims with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mezzanine A Loan or institute any foreclosure action, foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or acceptance of a transfer or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, and in each case, acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement. No Participation Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mezzanine A Loan, except as provided in this Agreement. Each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer (acting on behalf of the Participation Holders), the rights, if any, that such Participation Holder has (i) to declare or cause the Servicer to declare an Event of Default under the Mezzanine A Loan, (ii) to exercise any remedies with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mezzanine A Borrower or (iii) to vote any claims with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar type of proceeding of the Mezzanine A Borrower, provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to contravene the rights of the Participation Holders under Section 19. Each Participation Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as the Servicer shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action which would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, or be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 19 to the contrary, the Servicer may, in its sole discretion, reject any advice or consultation provided by the Controlling Holder and shall not comply with any advice or consultation provided by the Controlling Holder if such advice or consultation would (i) require or cause the Servicer to violate any applicable law, (ii) violate the Servicing Standard, (iii) require or cause the Servicer to violate any other provisions of this Agreement, or (iv) require or cause the Servicer to violate the terms of the Mezzanine A Loan or the Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, within sixty (60) days after (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event and (ii) each date thereafter on which the Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, determines that an Updated Appraisal is required (but in no event more often than once each 120 days) and, during the continuance of an Appraisal Reduction Event, every 12 months following the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event, the Servicer shall obtain an Updated Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property (or a letter update to an existing Appraisal of such Mortgaged Property, provided such existing Appraisal is less than two (2) years old and no material change has occurred with respect to such Mortgaged Property or the applicable commercial or residential real estate market) from an Appraiser selected by the Servicer, except that the Servicer shall not be required to obtain an Updated Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, if and for so long as there exists an Appraisal of such Mortgaged Property which is less than twelve (12) months old and the Servicer has no knowledge that any material change has occurred with respect to such Mortgaged Property or the applicable commercial or residential real estate market. Each of the Participation A Holder and the Participation B Holder shall have the right, at any time and at its own expense, to request that the Servicer obtain an Updated Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to reduce the Participation B Principal Balance and the Participation A Principal Balance, up to the outstanding amount thereof, first, to Participation B and after Participation B Principal Balance has been reduced to zero ($0), then to Participation A, solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Holder. The Servicer shall give written notice to each Participation Holder of any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan and any allocation thereof to reduce the principal balance of such Holder. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as of the date hereof, no Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing.

(e) Notwithstanding the definitions of a Control Appraisal Event, the Controlling Holder shall be entitled to avoid a Control Appraisal Event and a consequent loss of Controlling Holder status, caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount, unless the application of such Appraisal Reduction Amount that results in a Control Appraisal Event reduces the applicable Participation Principal Balance to zero, upon satisfaction of the following conditions (which must be satisfied within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of an Updated Appraisal that indicates a Control Appraisal Event and consequent loss of Controlling Holder status has occurred; provided that if the entity that was Controlling Holder at the time of such Control Appraisal Event has provided notice to the Servicer of its intention to post Threshold

 

-34-


Event Collateral, during such fifteen (15) day period such entity shall remain the Controlling Holder): (i) the Controlling Holder shall have delivered, as a supplement to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, to the Servicer (in each case together with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Servicer in accordance with Servicing Standard to create and perfect a security interest in such Threshold Event Collateral in favor of the Servicer for the benefit of the other Participation Holder) (a) cash collateral for the benefit of, and acceptable to the Servicer, or (b) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit payable on sight demand issued by a bank or other financial institution the long-term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “AA” by S&P and “Aa2” by Moody’s or the short term obligations of which are rated at least “A-1” by S&P and “P-1” by Moody’s (either (a) or (b), the “Threshold Event Collateral”), and (ii) the Threshold Event Collateral shall be in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as determined based on the Updated Appraisal, would cause the Control Appraisal Event and consequent loss of Controlling Holder status not to occur. Any interest earned on cash collateral posted shall inure to the benefit of the party that posted such collateral. If the requirements of this subsection are satisfied by the Controlling Holder (a “Threshold Event Cure”), no Control Appraisal Event and consequent loss of Controlling Holder status caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be deemed to have occurred. If a letter of credit is furnished as Threshold Event Collateral, the Controlling Holder shall be required to renew such letter of credit not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration thereof or to replace such letter of credit with either a substitute letter of credit with an expiration date that is greater than forty-five (45) days from the date of substitution or other Threshold Event Collateral; provided, however, that if a letter of credit is not renewed prior to thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such letter of credit, the Servicer shall draw upon such letter of credit (which draw shall be permitted under the terms thereof) and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. In addition, if a letter of credit is initially furnished as Threshold Event Collateral and the issuer of such letter of credit at any time no longer satisfies the unsecured debt rating requirements set forth above, the Controlling Holder shall be required within thirty (30) days of notice from the Servicer of the occurrence of such event to replace such original letter of credit with a replacement letter of credit from an issuer meeting the rating requirements. If a new replacement letter of credit from an issuer with the required ratings is not in place within thirty (30) days of such event, the Servicer shall draw upon such letter of credit (which draw shall be permitted under the terms thereof) and hold the proceeds thereof as Threshold Event Collateral. The Threshold Event Cure shall continue until (i) the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property plus the value of the Threshold Event Collateral would not be sufficient to prevent a Control Appraisal Event and consequent loss of Controlling Holder status from occurring (unless the Controlling Holder then posts additional Threshold Event Collateral to avoid loss of Controlling Holder status); or (ii) the occurrence of a Final Recovery Determination; or (iii) the Threshold Event Collateral is fully released to the Controlling Holder pursuant to the immediately following sentence. If the appraised value of the Mortgaged Properties, upon any redetermination thereof, is sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Event and consequent loss of Controlling Holder status without taking into consideration all or some portion of the Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by the Controlling Holder, all or such portion of Threshold Event Collateral held by the Servicer shall promptly be returned to the Controlling Holder (at its sole expense). If the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, upon any redetermination thereof, is not sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Event and consequent loss of Controlling Holder status, after taking into

 

-35-


consideration any Threshold Event Collateral previously delivered by the Controlling Holder, then the Threshold Cure Event shall no longer exist, unless within fifteen (15) days of such determination the Controlling Holder posts additional Threshold Event Collateral in accordance with the same terms on which it posted the initial Threshold Event Collateral, in a sufficient amount such that the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property, as so redetermined, together with all Threshold Event Collateral then posted, shall be sufficient to avoid the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Event and consequent loss of Controlling Holder status. For so long as Threshold Event Collateral shall have been posted, the Servicer shall obtain, at the request of any Participation Holder, on a quarterly basis, commencing with the date that is three (3) months after the first posting of Threshold Event Collateral and continuing at three (3) month intervals thereafter, an Updated Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property (or a letter update to an existing Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, provided such existing Appraisal is less than two (2) years old and no material change shall have occurred with respect to such Mortgaged Property or the applicable commercial real estate market), from an Appraiser selected by the Servicer (with the approval of the requesting Participation Holder), at the expense of such Participation Holder. Any Threshold Event Cure shall be deemed to cease to exist if the Controlling Holder shall fail to pay for any such Appraisal or letter update within 30 days after it is requested to do so by the Servicer or any Holder, or if the Controlling Holder or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and shall fail to obtain such Appraisal or letter update. If the Controlling Holder or an Affiliate thereof is also the Servicer, the Participation A Holder shall hold, monitor and administer the Threshold Event Collateral. Upon a Final Recovery Determination, such Threshold Event Collateral shall be available to reimburse the Participation A Holder for any losses with respect to its Participation after application of the net proceeds of liquidation, not in excess of the principal balance thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable interest rate and all other costs reimbursable under this Agreement and to the extent not so utilized, shall be returned to the posting Participation Holder.

20. Rights Under the Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Purchase Option. (i) In the event that a “Purchase Option Event” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to the Mortgage Loan has occurred (a “Purchase Option Event”), triggering the right of the Mezzanine A Lender to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement (of which event the Servicer shall be required to promptly notify each Participation Holder), each of the Participation A Holder and the Participation B Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) by written notice to the Servicer and the other Participation Holder (a “Purchase Option Notice”) to initiate the purchase of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that both the Participation A Holder and the Participation B Holder elect to purchase the Mortgage Loan, the Participation B Holder shall have the prior right to so purchase the Mortgage Loan, provided that the Participation B Holder in such event shall also be required to concurrently purchase Participation A from the Participation A Holder for a price equal to the Defaulted Mezzanine A Loan Purchase Price. In the event that the Participation A Holder has elected to purchase the Mortgage Loan by delivery of a Purchase Option Notice, the Participation B Holder shall, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such notice, provide written notice to the Servicer and the Participation A Holder as to whether the Participation B Holder will exercise its prior right to purchase the Mortgage Loan and Participation A. If the Participation B Holder has elected to purchase the Mortgage Loan and it fails to complete such purchase within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of a Purchase Option Notice or fails to concurrently purchase Participation A as required hereunder

 

-36-


(other than as a result of a default or breach by the Participation A Holder as seller of Participation A), then such Purchase Option Notice shall be deemed invalid, such defaulting Participation B Holder shall cease to have any right to purchase the Mortgage Loan (and Participation A) in connection with the applicable Purchase Option Event and the Participation A Holder shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the purchase rights under, and in accordance with, the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such Purchase Option Event. Following the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event, each of the Participation A Holder and the Participation B Holder shall keep the other Participation Holder informed as to such Holder’s intention to exercise any of its respective rights in connection with the Purchase Option Event.

(ii) If the Participation B Holder elects to purchase the Mortgage Loan and Participation A pursuant to the terms hereof, concurrently with payment to the Participation A Holder of the Defaulted Mezzanine A Loan Purchase Price, the Participation A Holder shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participation B Holder all Mezzanine A Loan Documents held by or on behalf of the Participation A Holder and will execute in favor of the Participation B Holder or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Participation B Holder, at the sole cost and expense of the Participation B Holder to assign Participation A and its rights hereunder and its rights as holder of the Mezzanine A Loan (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to Participation A Holder’s ownership due execution and delivery, and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in Participation A as of the consummation of the assignment of Participation A, unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer).

(b) Cure Rights after Mortgage Loan Event of Default. (i) In the event a Mortgage Loan Default Notice has been delivered to the Mezzanine A Lender (which the Servicer shall be required to promptly forward (with a copy sent by facsimile or e-mail as soon as reasonably possible following its receipt thereof) to each Participation Holder), and the default identified in such Mortgage Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to a liquidated sum of money, each of the Participation A Holder and the Participation B Holder shall have right to exercise the cure rights of the Mezzanine A Lender under the Intercreditor Agreement within the same period of time provided to the Mezzanine A Lender under the Intercreditor Agreement. If the Participation A Holder cures such default, then Participation B Holder shall reimburse to Participation A Holder the costs and expenses of curing such default within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor by Participation A Holder.

(ii) If the default identified in the Mortgage Loan Default Notice is of a non-monetary nature, each of the Participation A Holder and the Participation B Holder shall have right to exercise the cure rights of the Mezzanine A Lender under the Intercreditor Agreement within the same period of time provided to the Mezzanine A Lender under the Intercreditor Agreement. If a Participation Holder is exercising its cure right, it shall consult with the other Participation Holder and keep such other Participation Holder informed as to its progress. If the Participation A Holder cures such default, then Participation B Holder shall reimburse the costs and expenses of curing such default to Participation A Holder within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor by Participation A Holder.

 

-37-


(iii) Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action pursuant to this Section 20(b), a Participation Holder shall provide the Servicer and the other Participation Holder with written notice thereof.

(c) Intentionally Omitted.

(d) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, this Section 20 and Section 19, the Controlling Holder shall exercise each of the rights granted to the “First Mezzanine Lender” and “Directing Junior Lender” under and pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) The Participation Holders agree that the Servicer shall make reasonable effort to cause the Mortgage Loan Servicer to send a copy of the Mortgage Loan Default Notice directly to the Participation Holders.

21. REO Mezzanine Loan. In the event the Separate Collateral is acquired pursuant to a foreclosure or deed (or assignment) in lieu of foreclosure, the Separate Collateral shall be held for the benefit of the Participation Holders based upon their respective percentage interests in the Mezzanine A Loan and the Participation Holders hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement relating to the ownership, operation, maintenance, management, leasing and marketing of the Mortgaged Property, which agreement shall, in any event, provide that, to the extent that any decision is required to be made thereunder with respect to such matters, the Controlling Holder (as then determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement as if the Mezzanine A Loan were still outstanding) shall be entitled to make such decisions. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the Mezzanine A Loan, such Mezzanine A Loan shall be considered an “REO Mezzanine Loan” held by the Participation Holders until such time as the Separate Collateral (or the Mortgaged Property) shall be sold, transferred or conveyed by the Participation Holders and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect during such ownership of the Separate Collateral. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such “REO Mezzanine Loan” shall be considered outstanding, payments and collections with respect to the Separate Collateral received in any month (net of related expenses) shall be applied to amounts which would have been payable under the Mezzanine A Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

22. Future Advance. MSMC or any successor or assign that has assumed the Future Advance Obligations in accordance with Section 15 (the “Funding Party”) hereby agrees to remit to the Mezzanine A Borrower the Future Advance to the extent such Future Advance is required to be made under the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, it being the specific intent of the parties hereto that the Participation B Holder shall be liable for making the Future Advance. Funding Party shall remit the Future Advance on the date that such Future Advance is required to be made pursuant to the Mezzanine A Loan Documents and Mezzanine A Loan Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the determination of whether the Mezzanine A Borrower is entitled to receive the Future Advance shall rest solely with Funding Party who shall be solely responsible for funding the Future Advance and conducting any and all due diligence, loan documentation and pre-funding requirements in connection therewith, and the Funding Party is hereby authorized to deal directly with the

 

-38-


Mezzanine A Borrower solely in connection with the making of the Future Advance and the satisfaction of any conditions precedent set forth in the Mezzanine A Loan Documents.

23. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RESPECTIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE.

25. Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided, that no successor or assigns of the initial Mezzanine A Lender shall have any liability for a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

26. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

27. Captions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ request of the Participation A Holder prior to the date of the proposed transfer, Participation B Holder shall transfer legal title to the Mezzanine A Loan Documents to Participation A Holder.

30. Withholding Taxes. (a) If the Servicer or the Mezzanine A Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Participation Holder with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan as a result of such Participation Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Servicer shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Participation Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Participation Holder), provided that the Servicer shall furnish such Participation Holder 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 Participation Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Participation Holder is subject to tax.

(b) Each Participation Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Servicer against and hold the Servicer harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Servicer to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Participation Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Participation Holder to the Servicer in connection with the obligation of the Servicer to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Participation Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Servicer 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) such Participation Holder shall, upon request of the Servicer and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Servicer.

(c) Each Participation Holder represents severally, as to itself only, to the Servicer (for the benefit of the Mezzanine A Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Servicer nor the Mezzanine A Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mezzanine A 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, each Participation Holder shall deliver to the Servicer evidence satisfactory to the Servicer substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Servicer is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mezzanine A Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if any Participation Holder 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 Servicer an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if Participation Holder 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 Mezzanine A Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Participation Holder shall

satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Servicer 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 such Participation Holder, as evidence of such Participation Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Servicer shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to a Participation Holder in respect of a Participation or otherwise until such Participation Holder shall have furnished to the Servicer the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

(d) For purposes of this Section 29, (i) “Non-Exempt Person” shall mean any Person other than a Person who is either (i) a U.S. Person or (ii) has on file with the Agent for the relevant year such duly-executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (A) any income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Person, (B) the Code or (C) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under clauses (A) or (B) above, permit the Servicer to make such payments free of any obligation or liability for withholding; and (ii) “Taxes” shall mean any income or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature, now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any department, agency, state or other political subdivision thereof or therein.

31. Waiver.

In performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively assume the genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents is limited solely to confirming that the documents which constitute or are required to constitute the Mezzanine A Loan Documents have been received and further confirming that any and all such documents delivered pursuant to this Section 34 have been executed and purport to relate to the Mezzanine A Loan. The Custodian shall not have any responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding or whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper form. Not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date hereof, the Custodian shall notify in writing the Participation Holders, as to any part of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents that does not meet the requirements of the definition thereof and shall specify the nature of the defective or missing document or the lack of evidence of filing, as applicable (the “Exception Report”).

(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Custodian, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Custodian, will not violate the Custodian’s organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.

(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Custodian, enforceable against the Custodian in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(iv) The Custodian is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement, will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Custodian’s good faith and reasonable judgment, will affect materially and adversely the ability of the Custodian to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Custodian’s knowledge, threatened against the Custodian that, if determined adversely to the Custodian, would prohibit the Custodian from entering into this Agreement or, in the Custodian’s good faith and reasonable judgment, would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Custodian to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(vi) Any consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Custodian of or compliance by the Custodian with this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has been obtained and is effective, except where the lack of consent, approval, authorization or order would not have a material adverse effect on the performance by the Custodian under this Agreement.

The representations and warranties of the Custodian set forth in Section 34(h) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the Participation Holders for whose benefit they were made for so long as this Agreement remains in effect. Upon discovery by any party hereto of any breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto.

-43-


written or electronic request to release to the Servicer, its counsel or its agent a portion of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents as set forth in such request for release, and the Custodian shall promptly release such files. All documents so released to the Servicer, its counsel or its agent shall be held by such party in trust for the benefit of the Participation Holders and shall be returned to the Custodian when the need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists.

(j) Upon payment in full or any other agreed upon settled amount of the Mezzanine A Loan, and upon receipt by the Custodian of a written or electronic request for release from the Servicer stating that the Mezzanine A Loan has been paid in full, the Custodian shall promptly release the related Mezzanine A Loan Documents to the Servicer or its agent.

(k) Upon reasonable prior notice to the Custodian, the Participation Holders and their respective agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Custodian relating to the Mezzanine A Loan. The Participation Holders will promptly reimburse the Custodian for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Custodian in connection with any such examination.

A certificate of the Custodian stating that each such bond or policy is in full force and effect shall be furnished to any Participation Holder upon request. In the alternative, the Custodian may self-insure if it or its parent affiliate has an unsecured long-term credit rating of at least “BBB” by S&P (or the equivalent rating by Fitch or Moody’s). The Participation Holders shall reimburse the Custodian for any third-party, out-of-pocket, reasonable expenses or costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

(m) Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder except for its or their own gross negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and reasonably believed by it or them to be within the purview of this Agreement.
