Section 2.03 Custody of Loan Documents.

(a) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall take possession of all of the Loan Documents on behalf of each Participant. The provisions of the Custodial Agreement shall require that the Custodian cooperate with each Underlying Servicer and the Parties (i) to endorse the original executed Notes without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied, in blank, to be held by the Custodian on behalf of each Participant, and (ii) in the case of the other assignable Loan Documents, to assign such Loan Documents in blank to be held by the Custodian on behalf of each Participant. The Junior Participant and the Senior Participant may, at any time, request the Custodian to provide it with a copy of the Loan Documents. In the event it becomes necessary or appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices for the Junior Participant to present or record Loan Documents with completed assignments, the Junior Participant (or the Custodian at the direction of and on behalf of the Junior Participant) will be entitled to and shall complete such assignments and effect recordation in the name of the Junior Participant, subject to any rights and consent of the Senior Participant expressly provided for herein.

Section 2.05 Security Interest.

(a) The Seller and Participants intend that the transactions described hereunder be a sale to the Senior Participant of the Senior Participation Interest, representing a property interest in the Pooled Loans to the extent set forth in this Agreement, and a sale to the Junior Participant of the Junior Participation Interest, representing a property interest in the Pooled Loans to the extent set forth in this Agreement, and not loans from the Senior Participant to the Seller or Junior Participant secured by any interest in the Pooled Loans or pledges by the Seller or Junior Participant of any interest in the Pooled Loans to the Senior Participant. The Seller and Junior Participant each hereby collaterally assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral (as defined below) to the Senior Participant, to secure the payments to Senior Participant of all amounts due hereunder and/or under any of the other Transaction Documents to the Senior Participant and any of the Senior Participant’s present or future Affiliates hereunder (including, without limitation, the full amount of the Total Senior Participation Funded Amount and all interest thereon, and including all interest or other amounts that accrue after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Seller or Junior Participant, regardless of whether such interest and other amounts are allowed claims in such proceedings), including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Section 19.01 (to any Indemnified Parties hereunder), and under the other Transaction Documents and any other obligation of the Seller or Junior Participant to the Senior Participant under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”).

(b) Seller and Junior Participant each hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Pooled Loan and all other Collateral serves as collateral for the Senior Participant under this Agreement, amounts realized in respect thereto are payable to Senior Participant pursuant to the priorities set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 and that the Senior Participant has the right, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Agreement Event of Default, to realize on any or all of the Collateral in order to satisfy the Secured Obligations, subject, in all cases, to the terms hereof. All of the Seller’s and Junior Participant’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral”:

(i) the Pooled Loans and all “securities accounts” (as defined in Section 8 501(a) of the UCC) to which any “instrument” (as defined in Section 9‑102(a)(47) of the UCC), or “security” (as defined in Section 8‑102(a)(15) of the UCC) evidencing an interest in any Pooled Loan is credited;

(ii) the Loan Documents, Contracts, Transaction Documents, Servicing Rights, Servicing Records, all servicing fees relating to the Pooled Loans, insurance policies relating to the Pooled Loans, collection and Escrow Accounts, the Administration Account and letters of credit relating to the Pooled Loans, any marketing materials related to the Properties and any copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property related to the Properties;

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=InterwovenIManage Format=<<NUM>>_<<VER>> PRESERVELOCATION \* MERGEFORMAT 127712261_16


 

(iii) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “investment property”, “instruments”, “securities accounts” and “deposit accounts”, each as defined in the UCC, relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing;

(iv) any other items, amounts, rights or properties collaterally assigned or pledged by the Seller or Junior Participant to the Senior Participant under any of the Transaction Documents; and

(v) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, income and profits of, and records (but excluding any financial models or other proprietary information) and files relating to any and all of any of the foregoing.

(c) The Senior Participant’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate automatically upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations. Upon such termination, the Senior Participant shall deliver to the Seller and Junior Participant such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, evidence of termination of the Seller Power of Attorney and the Junior Participant Power of Attorney and other release documents as may be necessary or otherwise commercially reasonable in order to return and convey any remaining Collateral to the Seller or, at the Seller’s election, to Junior Participant or their respective designees, and release the Senior Participant’s security interest therein. For purposes of the grant of the security interest described in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). The Senior Participant shall have all of the rights and, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Agreement Event of Default, may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York subject, in all cases, to the terms hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) the Senior Participant, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary under the UCC to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, financing statements and continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdictions (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to the Seller and Junior Participant upon the filing thereof, and (b) the Seller and Junior Participant shall from time to time take such further commercially reasonable actions as may be reasonably requested by the Senior Participant and necessary or desirable under the UCC to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Participant’s security interest in any Pooled Loan shall not terminate until the Senior Participant has been paid (or otherwise satisfied) all of the Secured Obligations. In connection with the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Seller and the Junior Participant authorizes the filing of a financing statement in the State of Delaware describing the applicable Collateral as “all assets of the Junior Participant, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, and all proceeds and products thereof” or other similar language to that effect. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations to the Senior Participant, the security interests granted to Senior Participant pursuant to this Agreement in the Pooled Loans shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and Senior Participant authorizes Junior Participant to take such actions as may be necessary to cause the termination of such security interest.

(d) The Seller acknowledges that it has assigned all of its Servicing Rights with respect to each Pooled Loan to the Participants and that it has no right to service the Pooled Loans.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Pooled Loans. As such, the Seller expressly acknowledges that its interests in the Pooled Loans are sold to the Participants on a “servicing released” basis with such servicing retained as set forth in the Underlying Servicing Agreements, by the Participants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Seller and Junior Participant agree that the Participants are the owners of all Servicing Rights, including but not limited to, the Underlying Servicing Agreements and all Servicing Records, so long as the Pooled Loans are subject to this Agreement. The Seller covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to the Custodian, at the Senior Participant’s request, for safekeeping pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. The Seller and Junior Participant acknowledge and agree that the Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Pooled Loans under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Agreement Event of Default, the Senior Participant may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Pooled Loans on a servicing released basis and/or (ii) to the extent permitted by the applicable Underlying Servicing Agreement, terminate an Underlying Servicer or any other servicer or sub servicer of the Pooled Loans, with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that the Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, or the Junior Participant is deemed to have any Servicing Rights, each of the Seller and the Junior Participant collaterally assigns, grants a security interest in, and pledges to the Senior Participant the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created.

(e) For purposes of the grant of the security interest described in this Agreement, the interests of the Seller and Junior Participant in each Loan Document shall be deemed collaterally assigned to the Senior Participant to secure the payment of the Secured Obligations to Senior Participant and if an Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Senior Participant (or its designee) may exercise any rights that the Seller or Junior Participant may have under the respective Loan Documents. The Seller and the Junior Participant acknowledge that a duly completed Uniform Commercial Code financing statement, describing the Collateral and naming the Senior Participant as secured party, has been or will be filed in each applicable filing jurisdiction.

(f) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Seller and Participants agree to treat the Senior Participation Interest as indebtedness of the Junior Participant (or the taxpayer with respect to which the Junior Participant’s existence is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) secured by the Collateral. 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, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The parties hereby agree that with respect to the Senior Participation Interest, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the issue price is its par amount and the issue date is the related Participation Purchase Date.

Section 2.06 Conditions Precedent to Purchase of Senior Participation Interest. The Senior Participant’s agreement to purchase the Senior Participation Interest is subject to the satisfaction of the condition precedent that the Senior Participant shall have received from Seller payment of an amount equal to all fees and expenses payable hereunder on the date hereof, and all of the following items, each of which shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Senior Participant and its counsel, and, provided that the obligation of the Senior Participant to make the

This provision shall survive payment of the Senior Participant in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations (other than contingent obligations) of Junior Participant under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(f) The Senior Rate may be determined by reference to a benchmark rate that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform or cessation. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative reference rates for some of these benchmark rates and, as a result, such benchmark rates may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued or the basis on which they are calculated may change. Senior Participant does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to rates described herein or rates referenced in any definitions used herein or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including the Term SOFR Rate Index), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Alternate Rate Index or Prime Rate Index) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, any discontinued rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Alternate Rate Index Conforming Changes. Senior Participant and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a rate, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Alternate Rate Index or Prime Rate Index) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to Seller or Junior Participant. Senior Participant may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any rate, or any rates referenced in the definitions used herein, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.09 Increased Costs.

(a) In the event that any Change in Law or Senior Participant Compliance Policy, or compliance by Senior Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall hereafter:

(i) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Senior Participant which is not otherwise included in the determination of the then-current Benchmark;

(ii) subject Senior Participant to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Connection Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on Senior Participant any other condition (other than Taxes);

and if the result of any of the foregoing increases the cost to Senior Participant to make, renew or maintain loans or extensions of credit or reduces any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Junior Participant shall (x) promptly pay Senior Participant upon demand any additional amounts necessary to compensate Senior Participant for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Senior Participant in its sole discretion and (y) within one hundred and twenty (120) days, repay (without any Prepayment Penalty) all of the Senior Participation Funded Amount. If Senior Participant becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09, Senior Participant shall provide Junior Participant with not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Senior Participant for such additional cost or reduced amount. This provision shall survive payment of the Senior Participation Interest and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Junior Participant under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(b) If Senior Participant determines that any Change in Law affecting Senior Participant or any lending office of Senior Participant or Senior Participant’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Senior Participant’s capital or on the capital of Senior Participant’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Senior Participation Committed Amount or the Loans made by Senior Participant to a level below that which Senior Participant or Senior Participant’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Senior Participant’s policies and the policies of Senior Participant’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time upon request of Senior Participant, Junior Participant shall (x) pay such additional amount or amounts to Senior Participant as will compensate Senior Participant or Senior Participant’s holding company for any such reduction suffered and (y) within one hundred and twenty (120) days repay all of the Senior

Participation Funded Amount. Any amount owed by Junior Participant under this Section 3.09(b) shall be without duplication of amounts owed by Junior Participant under Section 3.09(a).

(c) A certificate by Senior Participant setting forth any amount specified in Section 3.09(a) or (b) to compensate Senior Participant or its holding company, as the case may be, and delivered to Junior Participant, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Junior Participant shall pay Senior Participant the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof unless Junior Participant repays the entire Senior Participation Funded Amount.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of Senior Participant to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall not constitute a waiver of Senior Participant’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, Junior Participant shall not be required to compensate Senior Participant pursuant to this Section 3.09 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than two-hundred ten (210) days prior to the date that Senior Participant notifies Junior Participant of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Senior Participant’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 30-day notice period referred to in Section 3.09(a) above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Senior Participant agrees to take reasonable steps (including designating a different lending office for funding or booking the Senior Participation Committed Amount hereunder or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates as Senior Participant deems practicable) to mitigate the effect of any increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder that would entitle Senior Participant to claim compensation pursuant to Section 3.09(a), Section 3.09(b) or Section 21.09, as applicable; provided that neither Administrator nor Senior Participant shall be required to take any such action that would subject Administrator or Senior Participant to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (that is not paid by Junior Participant pursuant to the next sentence) or would otherwise have a material and adverse effect on the rights of Administrator or Senior Participant under this Agreement. Junior Participant hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel) incurred by Administrator or Senior Participant connection with any such designation or reassignment.

(f) In exercising its rights under this Section 3.09, the Senior Participant shall make any determination pursuant to this Section 3.09 using the same methodology that the Senior Participant applies in making such determination in similar participation finance agreements with similarly situated counterparties; provided, that the Senior Participant may elect to apply or not apply such rights and remedies to the Senior Participant’s counterparties in the Senior Participant’s sole discretion.

During the occurrence and continuance of an Agreement Event of Default, such revocable license in favor of Junior Participant shall automatically terminate, and all such rights shall be vested in, and exercisable solely by, Senior Participant in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement until such Agreement Event of Default has been cured, at which time, such revocable license shall automatically be reinstated unless Senior Participant has declared all amounts, or all amounts have been deemed, to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 13.01(b)(i) hereunder.

(b) Junior Participant shall not (i) undertake any Major Decision without the consent of Senior Participant, as set forth in Section 5.06 hereof, or (ii) engage, hire or appoint any Underlying Servicer that is Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller of Guarantor.

Section 5.02 Servicing Standard. Subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Article V and Article VI), the Junior Participant shall service the Pooled Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the related Loan Documents, Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Junior Participant shall exercise such rights and powers on the express understanding that the Junior Participant shall service the Pooled Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing any Major Decision or other decision, action or failure to act by Junior Participant consented to in writing by Senior Participant pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.02 and Section 5.01.

Section 5.03 Reliance. Without limiting Section 5.02, each of the Junior Participant and the Senior Participant may rely in good faith on any document of any kind that, prima facie, is properly executed, delivered and/or submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

Section 5.04 Limitations on Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the Junior Participant be permitted to or shall take any action or refrain from taking any action that would violate any law of any applicable jurisdiction relating to any Pooled Loan, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, breach the related Loan Documents, be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or violate any provisions of this Agreement, or that would in any material respect diminish or impair (x) the Senior Participant’s seniority and rights as set forth herein or (y) the exercise of any rights by the Senior Participant pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.05 Reporting by Junior Participant.

(a) The Junior Participant shall provide to the Senior Participant, within five (5) Business Days of receipt, all notices, statements and/or reports delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided that Junior Participant shall provide to Senior Participant, within five (5) Business Days of receipt, any requests for advances delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(d) Within two (2) Business Days following receipt by an Underlying Servicer of any principal prepayment on any Pooled Loan, the Junior Participant shall notify the Senior Participant of the identity of each such Pooled Loan, the amount of the related principal prepayment and the amount of accrued interest received in connection with such principal prepayment.

(f) At Senior Participant’s request, Junior Participant shall provide, at Junior Participant’s sole cost and expense, an updated Appraisal by an Independent Appraiser, in each case, acceptable to Senior Participant in its sole discretion, of the mortgaged property securing such Pooled Loan. So long as no Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in no event shall Junior Participant be required to pay for the cost of more than one Appraisal per Pooled Loan per calendar year, which limitation shall, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, apply to any Appraisals obtained in connection with Senior Participant’s calculation of LTV and Senior Participation Look-Through LTV; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted such as to limit Senior Participant’s right to order any additional Appraisals at Senior Participant’s cost and expense or, while any Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to limit Senior Participant’s rights to order additional Appraisals at Junior Participant’s cost and expense in accordance with Section 21.11.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05 or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, if the Junior Participant fails to deliver any information required to be delivered where such failure resulted solely from the failure of the related Borrower or Underlying Servicer to deliver any information for the related time period as required by the relevant Loan Documents (and such failure was not caused by any action, omission or failure to act of Seller, Junior Participant or their respective Affiliates in any respect), such failure shall not constitute an Agreement Default or an Agreement Event of Default under this Agreement, so long as Junior Participant is diligently pursuing receipt of such information; provided, that for so long as Junior Participant fails to deliver any such information required to be delivered hereunder, (i) Seller and Junior Participant shall not waive any Default or Event of Default relating to the applicable Pooled Loan, and (ii) to the extent that a Default or Event of Default has occurred under the related Pooled Loan relating to such failure to deliver information, upon request from Senior Participant, Seller and Junior Participant shall send to the related Borrower a notice of Default or Event of Default, as applicable.

Section 5.07 Administration and Servicing of the Pooled Loans by the Senior Participant.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, other than as expressly agreed by Senior Participant pursuant to Section 5.06(b), the Senior Participant shall have full responsibility and sole control for the administration and servicing of any Pooled Loan, the Borrower under which is owned, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any Affiliate of Seller, Junior Participant or Guarantor.

Upon Senior Participant’s appointment of a servicer and/or special servicer following Senior Participant’s foreclosure on a Pooled Loan in connection with Senior Participant’s exercise of remedies hereunder following an Agreement Event of Default, to assume any or all of the servicing and administration of any such Pooled Loan, the Seller and the Junior Participant each hereby acknowledge and agree that the Senior Participant shall be deemed to have satisfied all of the Senior Participant’s obligations and responsibilities with respect to the portion of the administration and servicing of the Pooled Loans so assumed.

(b) In the performance of its obligations hereunder, Administrator shall take any action that is directed by the Participants (subject to the terms of this Agreement) that relates to the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not be obligated to take, or to refrain from taking, any action that the Participants request that the Administrator take or refrain from taking to the extent that the Administrator determines in its reasonable judgment that such action or inaction may cause a violation of Applicable Laws, is inconsistent with this Agreement or increases Administrator’s duties, obligations or liability.

(c) The Administrator may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Junior Participant and Senior Participant.

Section 6.02 Administrator Compensation. As consideration for administering the Participations subject to this Agreement, the Administrator shall be entitled to an Administrator Fee. Such Administrator Fee shall be payable monthly on the related Remittance Date. The Administrator shall be paid the Administrator Fee in accordance with the preceding sentence, from amounts on deposit in the Administration Account. To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Administration Account are insufficient for such purposes, the Junior Participant shall pay any such shortfall to the Administrator within ten (10) Business Days after the Junior Participant’s receipt of an itemized invoice therefor. Any Administrator Fee paid to the Administrator shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Junior Participant and, notwithstanding any definition or provision herein to the contrary, such Administrator Fees shall not be Costs, shall not be reimbursed to the Junior Participant pursuant to Sections 3.02 or 3.03, or otherwise, and shall not result in an increase in the Total Junior Participation Funded Amount.

Neither the existence of any agreement nor any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to delegation shall relieve the Administrator of its obligations to the Participants hereunder. Notwithstanding any such agreement, the Administrator shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Administrator alone was administering the Participations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Administration Account Control Agreement. The Administrator shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any subcontractor, regardless of whether the Administrator’s compensation hereunder is sufficient to pay such fees.

Section 6.06 Resignation and Termination of Administrator.

Upon termination of the Administrator pursuant to this Section 6.06(a), a replacement agent of similar experience and reputation may be appointed by the Senior Participant in its sole discretion, subject to the prior written consent of the Junior Participant (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided no consent of the Junior Participant shall be required if an Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In the event that the Administrator is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.06(a), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

(b) The Administrator at any time may resign by giving sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of resignation to the Participants and complying with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.06(b); provided, however, that the Administrator’s resignation will be effective no later than ninety (90) days after delivery of said notice. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, with the Participants’ consent for appointment, which consent for appointment shall not unreasonably be conditioned, delayed or withheld (provided, that the Junior Participant’s consent for appointment shall not be required if an Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), a successor agent shall be promptly appointed by the Senior Participant by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Administrator and one copy to the successor agent. Any successor agent appointed as provided in this Section 6.06(b) shall execute and deliver to the Senior Participant and the Junior Participant, and to its predecessor Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Administrator shall become effective and such successor agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights and obligations of its predecessor, with like effect as if originally named as Administrator; provided, that upon the written request of the Senior Participant or the Junior Participant, the Administrator ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor agent all of the rights of the Administrator so ceasing to act.

The Senior Participant and Junior Participant understand and agree that in conducting such audits, its agents and/or representatives shall be subject to all reasonable security policies and procedures relative to any facility of the Administrator.

The Seller has not become, nor is it presently, financially insolvent nor will the Seller be made insolvent by virtue of the Seller’s execution of or performance under any of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is or will be a party within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the insolvency laws of any jurisdiction. The transfer and sale of any Participation or interests in any Pooled Loans or related Collateral pursuant hereto (1) will not cause the amount of liabilities of Seller to exceed the fair saleable value of the assets of Seller, (2) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital and (3) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. The Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Participations and the interests in the Pooled Loans subject hereto. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against the Seller in the last ten (10) years, and the Seller has not in the last ten (10) years made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any debtors’ relief laws.

Section 21.09 Withholding Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Junior Participant under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Junior Participant to the Senior Participant shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 21.09(a) or Section 21.09(d)) the Senior Participant receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Junior Participant shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Senior Participant, as applicable, timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) The Junior Participant shall indemnify the Senior Participant within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 21.09(a) or this Section 21.09(d)) paid by the Senior Participant or withheld or deducted, in accordance with Applicable Law, from a payment made by Senior Participant to such Person and any reasonable and documented actual out-of-pocket third party expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Junior Participant shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) (i) The Senior Participant shall, if and when it is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document promptly deliver to the Seller or Junior Participant, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or Junior Participant, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or Junior Participant as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Senior Participant, if reasonably requested by the Seller or Junior Participant, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or Junior Participant as will enable the Seller or Junior Participant to determine whether or not the Senior Participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 21.09(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if such completion, execution or submission would subject the Senior

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(B) if the Senior Participant is a Foreign Senior Participant, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller or Junior Participant (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Senior Participant acquires an interest under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or Junior Participant), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Senior Participant claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

Foreign Senior Participant is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Senior Participant are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Senior Participant may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Senior Participant shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller or Junior Participant (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Senior Participant acquires a Senior Participation Interest (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or Junior Participant), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Seller or Junior Participant to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to the Senior Participant under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Senior Participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Senior Participant shall deliver to the Seller or to the Junior Participant at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or Junior Participant such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or Junior Participant as may be necessary for the Seller or Junior Participant to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Senior Participant has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

The Senior Participant agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and Junior Participant in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) If any Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Sections 21.09(a) and (d) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Sections 21.09(a) and (d)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Sections 21.09(a) and/or (d) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 21.09(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the

event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 21.09(f), in no event shall the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 21.09(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Each party’s obligations under Sections 21.09(a) through (f) shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Senior Participant, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

(h) If the Senior Participant requests compensation under this Section 21.09 or, if the Junior Participant is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to the Senior Participant or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Senior Participant pursuant to Sections 21.09(a) or (d), or if the Senior Participant or assignee defaults in its obligations under this Agreement then each of the Seller and Junior Participant may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Senior Participant, require the Senior Participant to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Sections 16.01 and 16.02), all its interests, rights (other than rights to payments pursuant to Section 21.09) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Senior Participant, if such Senior Participant accepts such assignment); provided that the Senior Participant shall have received payment of an amount equal to the purchase price for the Senior Participation Interest, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it and its Affiliates hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding purchase price, fees and other amounts payable to it), the Seller or Junior Participant (in the case of all other amounts) and such assignment will result in a reduction in compensation or payments under Sections 21.09(a) or (d). The Senior Participant shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by the Junior Participant or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller or the Junior Participant to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 21.10 Rights, Remedies and Powers are Cumulative. All rights, remedies and powers of the Senior Participant hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of the Senior Participant whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement is determined to create a security interest, the Senior Participant shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

Section 21.11 Payment of Costs and Expenses. Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Senior Participant under the Transaction Documents, except as set forth herein, the Seller and the Junior Participant shall pay the Senior Participant’s reasonable and documented actual out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents requested by the Seller or Junior Participant (but not including the costs incurred by the Senior

Participant in performing its obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents). Each of the Seller and the Junior Participant, jointly and severally, agrees promptly to pay the Senior Participant (without duplication) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by the Senior Participant of any obligations of the Seller or the Junior Participant in respect of the Pooled Loans or the Participations, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Pooled Loans or the Participations and for the custody, care or preservation of the Pooled Loans and the Participations (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of the Senior Participant in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, each of the Seller and the Junior Participant, jointly and severally, agrees to pay the Senior Participant (without duplication) on demand all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Administration Account and registering the Senior Participation Interest in the name of the Senior Participant or its nominee.

Section 21.12 Judicial Interpretation. Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

Section 21.13 Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that Senior Participant becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from Senior Participant of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that Senior Participant or a BHC Act Affiliate of Senior Participant becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against Senior Participant are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

EXHIBIT A

Representations and Warranties Regarding each Pooled Loan

1. Neither the sale of (i) the Senior Participation Interest to Senior Participant or its designee nor (ii) the Junior Participation Interest to Junior Participant or its designee requires Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent that has not been obtained.

2. Unless otherwise disclosed to Senior Participant prior to the Participation Purchase Date for the applicable Pooled Loan, such Pooled Loan is not currently 30 days or more delinquent in payment of principal and interest (without giving effect to any applicable grace period) and such Pooled Loan has not been 30 days or more (without giving effect to any applicable grace period in the related Note) past due.

3. Such Pooled Loan (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) is a fixed rate mortgage loan, a floating rate mortgage loan, a fixed rate mezzanine loan or a floating rate mezzanine loan.

4. The information pertaining to such Pooled Loan set forth on Schedule II is true and correct in all material respects as of the Participation Purchase Date. Seller has delivered to Senior Participant a true, correct and complete copy in all material respects of all related Mortgage Loan Documents, which have not been amended, modified, supplemented or restated since the related date of origination except as such amendment, modification, supplement or restatement has been delivered to Senior Participant and Junior Participant prior to the Participation Purchase Date and, in the case of any Major Decision occurring on or after the Participation Purchase Date, with respect to which Senior Participant has provided prior written consent.

5. As of the Participation Purchase Date, Seller has good and marketable title to and is the sole owner and holder of, such Pooled Loan, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and, pursuant to the Senior Participation Interest, Seller has conveyed all beneficial interest in such Pooled Loan as set forth in the Participation Agreement, free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance, participation or security interest, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Pooled Loan other than as set forth in the Participation Agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Senior Participation Interest, and the assignment to Senior Participant constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Senior Participation Interest free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Senior Participation Interest subject to the rights and obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement.

6. To the extent required under applicable law, Seller is authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each Property related to such Pooled Loan is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Pooled Loan.

DOCPROPERTY DOCXDOCID DMS=InterwovenIManage Format=<<NUM>>_<<VER>> PRESERVELOCATION \* MERGEFORMAT 127712261_16


 

7. In respect of such Pooled Loan, no Borrower is a debtor in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding.

8. Such Pooled Loan is secured by either a Mortgage that establishes and creates a valid and subsisting first priority lien on the related Property, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interests, pledges, charges or security interests subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and as otherwise created by the Transaction Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Collateral, as applicable. With respect to any Pooled Loan that is a Senior Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreement, UCC financing statement or similar agreement, if any, establishes and creates a first priority security interest in favor of Seller in all personal property owned by the Borrower that is used in, and is reasonably necessary to, the operation of the related Property and, to the extent a security interest may be created therein and perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction, the proceeds arising from the related Property and other collateral securing such Pooled Loan, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Each UCC financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Property and each UCC financing statement assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. There exists with respect to such Property an assignment of leases and rents provision, either as part of the related Mortgage or as a separate document or instrument, which establishes and creates a first priority security interest in and to leases and rents arising in respect of the related Property subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. The related Mortgage or such assignment of leases and rents provision provides for the appointment of a receiver for rents or allows the holder of the related Mortgage to enter into possession of the related Property to collect rent or provides for rents to be paid directly to the holder of the related Mortgage in the event of a default beyond applicable notice and grace periods, if any, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

9. As of the origination date, there are no mechanics’ or other similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Property that are or may be prior or equal to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are listed in the applicable Title Policy (as defined below). As of the Participation Purchase Date, there are no mechanics’ or other similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Property that are or may be prior or equal in priority to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are listed in the applicable Title Policy (as defined below). No related Property secures any mortgage loan not represented on the Schedule II, such Pooled Loan is not cross‑defaulted with any other mortgage loan, other than a mortgage loan listed on Schedule II and with respect to any Pooled Loan that is a Senior Mortgage Loan, such Pooled Loan is not secured by property that is not a Property in each case, other than as set forth in the applicable Loan Documents.

10. No claims have been made under the American Land Title Association (ALTA) lender’s title insurance policy or a comparable form of lender’s title insurance policy related to such Pooled Loan (the “Title Policy”). Such Title Policy is in full force and effect and all premiums thereon have been paid and will provide that the insured includes the owner of the related Pooled Loan and its successors and/or assigns. No holder of the related

USActive 57951816.22

(v) such other encumbrances permitted under the applicable Loan Documents.
