Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

CLO Transaction Overview

On March 28, 2025 (the “FL6 CLO Closing Date”), TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2025-FL6” or “FL6 CLO”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TRTX 2025-FL6 Issuer, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, as issuer (the “FL6 Issuer”), and TRTX 2025-FL6 Co-Issuer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as co-issuer (the “FL6 Co-Issuer” and together with the FL6 Issuer, the “FL6 Issuers”). On the FL6 CLO Closing Date, the FL6 Issuers co-issued the following classes of notes pursuant to the terms of an indenture, dated as of March 28, 2025 (the “FL6 Indenture”), by and among the FL6 Issuers, TRTX Master CLO Loan Seller, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “FL6 Seller”), as advancing agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “FL6 Trustee”), and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as note administrator, paying agent, calculation agent, authenticating agent, transfer agent, custodian, backup advancing agent and notes registrar (in all such capacities, together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “FL6 Note Administrator”):

 

   

$616,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Class A Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class A Notes”), which had ratings of “AAAsf” and “Aaa(sf)” by Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively, and an initial expected weighted average life of 2.95 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 1.53680% plus (iii) on and after the payment date in April 2031, 0.25%;

 

   

$134,750,000 aggregate principal amount of Class A-S Second Priority Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class A-S Notes”), which had a rating of “AAAsf” by Fitch and an initial expected weighted average life of 3.73 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 1.74678% plus (iii) on and after the payment date in April 2031, 0.25%;

 

   

$83,875,000 aggregate principal amount of Class B Third Priority Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class B Notes”), which had a rating of AA-sf by Fitch and an initial expected weighted average life of 4.33 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 2.04636% plus (iii) on and after the payment date in April 2031, 0.50%;

 

   

$66,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Class C Fourth Priority Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class C Notes”), which had a rating of A-sf by Fitch and an initial expected weighted average life of 4.47 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 2.39586% plus (iii) on and after the payment date in April 2031, 0.50%;

 

   

$39,875,000 aggregate principal amount of Class D Fifth Priority Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class D Notes”), which had a rating of BBBsf by Fitch and an initial expected weighted average life of 5.11 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 2.99500% plus (iii) on and after the payment date in April 2031, 0.50%;

 

   

$22,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Class E Sixth Priority Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class E Notes” and, together with the FL6 Class A Notes, the FL6 Class A-S Notes, the FL6 Class B Notes, the FL6 Class C Notes and the FL6 Class D Notes, the “FL6 Offered Notes”), which had a rating of BBB-sf by Fitch and an initial expected weighted average life of 5.31 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 3.49428% plus (iii) on and after the payment date in April 2031, 0.50%.

The FL6 Offered Notes were placed by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., M&T Securities, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Standard Chartered Bank, and TPG Capital BD, LLC (the “Placement Agents”) pursuant to a placement agency agreement dated March 12, 2025.


In addition to the FL6 Offered Notes, on the FL6 CLO Closing Date, the FL6 Issuer issued, pursuant to the FL6 Indenture:

 

   

$42,625,000 aggregate principal amount of Class F Seventh Priority Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class F Notes”), which had a rating of BB-sf by Fitch and an initial expected weighted average life of 5.31 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 4.70000%; and

 

   

$27,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Class G Eighth Priority Floating Rate Notes Due 2042 (the “FL6 Class G Notes” and, together with the FL6 Class F Notes and the FL6 Offered Notes, the “FL6 Notes”), which had a rating of B-sf by Fitch and an initial expected weighted average life of 5.39 years, and bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Benchmark plus (ii) 6.20000%.

As used herein, the term “Benchmark” has the meaning set forth in the FL6 Indenture. The calculation of the initial expected weighted average lives of the FL6 Notes assumes certain collateral characteristics, including that there are no prepayments, that there will be no extension of maturity dates and no capitalized and deferred interest and certain other modeling assumptions. There are no assurances that such assumptions will be met.

The FL6 Class F Notes and the FL6 Class G Notes were acquired by TRTX Master Retention Holder, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“FL6 Retention Holder”). The FL6 Class F Notes and the FL6 Class G Notes are not secured by the FL6 Collateral Interests (as defined below) or any other collateral securing the FL6 Offered Notes.

Concurrently with the issuance of the FL6 Notes, the FL6 Issuer also issued 67,375.000 preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share and with an aggregate liquidation preference and notional amount equal to $1,000 per share (the “FL6 Preferred Shares” and, together with the FL6 Notes, the “FL6 Securities”), to FL6 Retention Holder. FL6 Retention Holder acquired the FL6 Preferred Shares in order to comply with certain risk retention rules. The FL6 Preferred Shares are subject to the terms and conditions of a Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2025 (the “FL6 Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement”), among the FL6 Issuer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as preferred share paying agent, and MaplesFS Limited, as preferred share registrar and administrator. The FL6 Preferred Shares have no stated dividend rate. Holders of the FL6 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive monthly non-cumulative dividends, if and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the FL6 Indenture and under Cayman Islands law. The FL6 Preferred Shares were issued by the FL6 Issuer as part of its issued share capital, and are not secured by the FL6 Collateral Interests or any other collateral securing the FL6 Offered Notes.

The FL6 Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Proceeds from the issuance of the FL6 Securities were used to (i) purchase four (4) commercial real estate whole loans (the “FL6 Closing Date Whole Loans”) and fifteen (15) participation interests in 15 separate commercial real estate loans or A-Notes (the “FL6 Closing Date Participations” and, together with the FL6 Closing Date Whole Loans, the “FL6 Closing Date Collateral Interests”), (ii) repay amounts owed by the FL6 Seller and its affiliates in respect of certain pre-closing financing, including under certain warehouse lines and other financing arrangements with affiliates of certain of the Placement Agents and other lenders, which warehouse lines and other financing arrangements were secured by certain of the FL6 Closing Date Collateral Interests, (iii) fund an account established and maintained under the FL6 Indenture by the Note Administrator, which funds may be used, together with interest or other earnings on the funds on deposit in such account, to acquire a collateral interest that has not yet closed (the “FL6 Delayed Collateral Interest” and, together with the FL6 Closing Date Collateral Interests, the “FL6 Cut-off Date Collateral Interests”), as and when the FL6 Delayed Collateral Interest closes on or prior to the date that is 90 days after the FL6 CLO Closing Date, and invest in certain eligible investments set forth in the Indenture pending such purchase of the FL6 Delayed Collateral Interest, (iv) fund an initial interest reserve deposit amount specified in the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement (as defined below) and (v) to undertake certain related activities.

The FL6 Closing Date Collateral Interests were, and the FL6 Delayed Collateral Interest is expected to be, purchased by the FL6 Issuer from the FL6 Seller, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of the FL6 Issuers. The FL6 Cut-off Date Collateral Interests represented approximately 33.5% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Company’s loan investment portfolio as of December 31, 2024 and had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1,100 million as of February 9, 2025 (the cut-off date for the FL6 CLO).


The FL6 Closing Date Collateral Interests were purchased, and any additional FL6 Collateral Interests (including the FL6 Delayed Collateral Interest) will be purchased in the future, by the FL6 Issuer from the FL6 Seller pursuant to a collateral interest purchase agreement (the “FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March 28, 2025, among the FL6 Seller, the FL6 Issuer, TPG RE Finance Trust Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdco”), and, solely, as to section 4(k) thereof, TPG RE Finance Trust CLO Sub-REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust. Pursuant to the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement, the FL6 Seller made certain representations and warranties to the FL6 Issuer with respect to the FL6 Collateral Interests. In the event of a breach of representation or warranty of the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the ownership interests of the FL6 Issuer in a FL6 Collateral Interest or the value of a FL6 Collateral Interest, the FL6 Seller will have to either (a) correct or cure such breach of representation or warranty, within 90 days, subject to certain extensions set forth in the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement, of discovery by the FL6 Seller or receipt of written notice from any party to the FL6 Indenture and the FL6 Servicing Agreement (as defined below), (b) substitute the affected FL6 Collateral Interest for either (1) a collateral interest owned by the FL6 Seller that satisfies applicable eligibility criteria, subject to the satisfaction of acquisition criteria and acquisition and disposition requirements (such FL6 Collateral Interest, a “FL6 Substitute Collateral Interest”) or (2) a combination of a FL6 Substitute Collateral Interest and cash; provided that the sum of (A) the par purchase price of such FL6 Substitute Collateral Interest, plus (B) the cash amount (if any) to be paid to the FL6 Issuer in connection with such substitution, is equal to or greater than the par purchase price of such affected FL6 Collateral Interest, or (c) make a cash payment to the FL6 Issuer in an amount sufficient to compensate the FL6 Issuer for such breach of representation or warranty. The obligation of the FL6 Seller to cure, substitute or make a cash payment in connection with a material breach of the representations and warranties pursuant to the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement has been guaranteed by Holdco. Additionally, with respect to any FL6 Collateral Interest comprised of a combination of a mortgage loan and a related mezzanine loan secured by equity interests in the related mortgage borrower, if the mortgage loan portion of such FL6 Collateral Interest is repaid in full but the mezzanine loan portion thereof remains outstanding, the FL6 Seller will be required to repurchase such FL6 Collateral Interest at a repurchase price calculated as set forth in the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement.

The FL6 Notes

FL6 Collateral

The FL6 Offered Notes are secured by, among other things, (i) the portfolio of FL6 Collateral Interests, (ii) an initial interest reserve deposit amount specified in the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement, (iii) certain collection, payment, custodial, reinvestment and expense reserve accounts and the related security entitlements and all income from the investment of funds in any of the foregoing at any time credited to any of the foregoing accounts, (iv) certain eligible investments purchased from deposits in certain accounts, (v) the FL6 Issuer’s rights under certain related agreements, (vi) all amounts delivered to the FL6 Note Administrator (or its bailee) (directly or through a securities intermediary), (vii) all other investment property, instruments and general intangibles in which the FL6 Issuer has an interest, other than certain excepted property, (viii) the FL6 Issuer’s ownership interests in and rights in certain permitted subsidiaries and (xi) all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “FL6 Collateral”).

The FL6 Offered Notes are limited recourse obligations of the FL6 Issuer and non-recourse obligations of the FL6 Co-Issuer, and the FL6 Class F Notes and the FL6 Class G Notes are limited recourse obligations of the FL6 Issuer. The FL6 Co-Issuer owns no material assets and will engage in no business other than co-issuing the FL6 Offered Notes. To the extent that the FL6 Collateral is insufficient to meet payments due in respect of the FL6 Offered Notes and expenses following liquidation of the FL6 Collateral, the obligations of the FL6 Issuer and the FL6 Co-Issuer to pay such deficiency will be extinguished.


Interest Rate and Maturity

Interest payments on the FL6 Notes are payable monthly, beginning in April 2025. Each class of FL6 Notes will mature at par in September 2042, unless redeemed or repaid prior thereto. Principal payments on each class of FL6 Notes will be paid in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the FL6 Indenture. However, it is anticipated that the FL6 Notes will be paid in advance of the stated maturity date in accordance with the priority of payments in the FL6 Indenture.

For so long as any class of FL6 Notes with a higher priority is outstanding, any interest due on the FL6 Class C Notes, the FL6 Class D Notes, the FL6 Class E Notes, the FL6 Class F Notes or the FL6 Class G Notes that is not paid as a result of the operation of the priority of payments set forth in the FL6 Indenture will be deferred, and the failure to pay such interest will not be an event of default under the FL6 Indenture (any such interest, “FL6 Deferred Interest”). FL6 Deferred Interest on any related class of FL6 Notes will be added to the outstanding principal balance of such class of FL6 Notes and will accrue interest at the applicable interest rate. FL6 Deferred Interest will not be payable until the earliest of the first interest payment date on which funds are available to pay such FL6 Deferred Interest in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the FL6 Indenture, or the date on which such class of FL6 Notes matures or is redeemed.

Subordination of the FL6 Notes

In general, payments of interest and principal on any class of FL6 Notes are subordinate to all payments of interest and principal on any class of FL6 Notes with a more senior priority. Generally, all payments on the FL6 Notes will be subordinate to certain payments required to be made in respect of any interest advances and certain other expenses. Payments on the FL6 Notes will be senior to any payments on or in respect of the FL6 Preferred Shares to the extent required by the priority of payments set forth in the FL6 Indenture.

FL6 Note Protection Tests

The FL6 Notes are subject to note protection tests (the “FL6 Note Protection Tests”), which will be used primarily to determine whether and to what extent interest received on the FL6 Collateral Interests may be used to make certain payments subordinate to interest and principal payments to the FL6 Offered Notes in the priority of payments set forth in the FL6 Indenture. In the event that either FL6 Note Protection Test is not satisfied on any measurement date, interest received on the FL6 Collateral Interests that would otherwise be used to pay interest on the FL6 Class F Notes and the FL6 Class G Notes and dividends to the FL6 Preferred Shares and make certain other payments must instead be used to pay principal of first, the FL6 Class A Notes, second, the FL6 Class A-S Notes, third, the FL6 Class B Notes, fourth, the FL6 Class C Notes, fifth, the FL6 Class D Notes and sixth, the FL6 Class E Notes, in each case, to the extent necessary to cause the FL6 Note Protection Tests to be satisfied.

The FL6 Note Protection Tests consist of a par value test (the “FL6 Par Value Test”) and an interest coverage test (the “FL6 Interest Coverage Test”). The FL6 Par Value Test will generally be considered to be met if the number calculated by dividing (a) the aggregate principal balance of the FL6 Collateral Interests (other than any modified and defaulted FL6 Collateral Interest and subject to certain conditions set forth in the FL6 Indenture) plus principal proceeds held as cash and certain other eligible investments plus the calculation amount of the modified and defaulted FL6 Collateral Interests by (b) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the FL6 Offered Notes and the amount of any unreimbursed interest advances, is equal to or greater than 112.00%. The FL6 Interest Coverage Test will generally be considered to be met if the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the FL6 Indenture) on the FL6 Offered Notes is equal to or greater than 120.00%.

FL6 Collateral Management Agreement

Certain advisory, administrative and monitoring functions relating to the FL6 Collateral will be performed by TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the Company’s external manager (the “Manager”), as FL6 collateral manager (in such capacity, the “FL6 Collateral Manager”) pursuant to a collateral management agreement, dated as of March 28 2025, between the FL6 Issuer and the Manager (the “FL6 Collateral Management Agreement”).

As compensation for the performance of its obligations as FL6 Collateral Manager, the FL6 Collateral Manager is entitled to receive a collateral management fee, payable monthly in arrears, equal to 0.1% per annum of the net outstanding balance of the FL6 Collateral Interests to the extent funds are available. The Manager has agreed to waive its entitlement to the collateral management fee for so long as the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is the FL6 Collateral Manager and also the Company’s external manager.


However, there can be no assurance that any replacement collateral manager will also waive the right to receive the collateral management fee.

The Manager may be removed as FL6 Collateral Manager upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice if certain events of default have occurred, by the FL6 Issuer or the FL6 Trustee, if the holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate outstanding amount of each class of FL6 Notes (excluding any FL6 Notes held by certain related parties) then outstanding give written notice to the Manager, the FL6 Issuer and the FL6 Trustee directing such removal. The Manager cannot be removed as FL6 Collateral Manager without cause, but may resign as FL6 Collateral Manager upon 90 days’ prior written notice. Upon any resignation or removal of the Manager as FL6 Collateral Manager while any of the FL6 Notes are outstanding, holders of a majority of the FL6 Preferred Shares (excluding any FL6 Preferred Shares held by certain related parties) will have the right to instruct the FL6 Issuer to appoint an institution identified by such holders as replacement FL6 Collateral Manager. In the event that 100% of the aggregate outstanding FL6 Preferred Shares are held by related parties and the proposed replacement FL6 Collateral Manager is an affiliate of the Manager, the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the most junior class of FL6 Notes not 100% owned by related parties (excluding any FL6 Notes held by related parties to the extent the replacement FL6 Collateral Manager is an affiliate of the Manager or the Manager has been removed as FL6 Collateral Manager after the occurrence of an event of default) may direct the FL6 Issuer to appoint an institution identified by such holders as replacement collateral manager.

Except with respect to the limitations set forth in the FL6 Indenture, the Manager, in its capacity as FL6 Collateral Manager, is not obligated to pursue any particular investment strategy or opportunity with respect to the FL6 Collateral Interests. The Manager and its affiliates may engage in other business and furnish investment management, advisory and other services to other portfolios. The Manager may make recommendations to or effect transactions for such other portfolios, which recommendations or transactions may differ from those made on behalf of the FL6 Issuer.

Managed Transaction with Reinvestment

The FL6 CLO includes a 30-month reinvestment period during which (and up to 60 days thereafter with respect to the acquisition of a proposed FL6 Reinvestment Collateral Interests (as defined below) as to which the FL6 Issuer, or the FL6 Collateral Manager on behalf of the FL6 Issuer, has entered into a binding commitment to purchase such FL6 Collateral Interest during the 30-month reinvestment period) the Manager, as FL6 Collateral Manager, is permitted to reinvest certain proceeds arising from the FL6 Collateral Interests in additional collateral interests meeting certain eligibility criteria (the “FL6 Reinvestment Collateral Interests”). Additionally, the FL6 Issuer may acquire exchange collateral interests (the “FL6 Exchange Collateral Interests” and, together with the FL6 Cut-off Date Collateral Interests and the FL6 Reinvestment Collateral Interests, the “FL6 Collateral Interests”), in each case, in exchange for a defaulted collateral interest or a credit risk collateral interest. Any FL6 Reinvestment Collateral Interest and FL6 Exchange Collateral Interests will be required to meet certain eligibility criteria, acquisition criteria, acquisition and disposition requirements and other conditions set forth in the FL6 Indenture and the FL6 Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement.

The FL6 Servicing Agreement

Except for certain non-serviced loans, the commercial real estate loans related to the FL6 Collateral Interests (the “FL6 Loans”) will be serviced by Situs Asset Management LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “FL6 Servicer”), pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “FL6 Servicing Agreement”), dated as of March 28, 2025, by and among the FL6 Issuer, the Manager, the FL6 Trustee, the FL6 Note Administrator, the FL6 Seller (as advancing agent), the FL6 Servicer and Situs Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “FL6 Special Servicer”). Additionally, pursuant to the FL6 Servicing Agreement, the FL6 Issuer appointed the FL6 Special Servicer to act as special servicer with respect to any serviced FL6 Loan that becomes a specially serviced loan.

The FL6 Servicing Agreement requires each of the FL6 Servicer and the FL6 Special Servicer to diligently service and administer the serviced FL6 Loans and any related mortgaged property acquired by the FL6 Issuer or a nominee thereof for the benefit of the “Relevant Parties in Interest” (as defined in the FL6 Servicing Agreement). In connection with their respective duties under the FL6 Servicing Agreement, the FL6 Servicer and the FL6 Special Servicer (or any replacement servicer or special servicer) are entitled to monthly servicing and special servicing fees and additional servicing compensation and additional special servicing compensation, as applicable, as described in the FL6 Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator, in all of its capacities hereunder, the Trustee and the Advancing Agent are entering into this Indenture, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer in accordance with this Indenture’s terms have been done.

GRANTING CLAUSES

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising out of (in each case, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of the related Companion Interest Holder therein and excluding any interest in the Excepted Property):

(a) (i) the Closing Date Collateral Interests listed on Schedule A hereto which the Issuer purchases on the Closing Date and causes to be delivered to the Trustee (or to the Custodian hereunder) herewith, including all payments thereon or with respect thereto, (ii) all Collateral Interests which are delivered to the Trustee (or to the Custodian hereunder) after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms hereof (including (A) all Subsequent Collateral Interests acquired by the Issuer after the Closing Date, and (B) the Delayed Collateral Interest, to the extent such Delayed Collateral Interest is acquired by the Issuer on or after the Closing Date but on or prior to the Delayed Purchase Termination Date) and all payments thereon or with respect thereto, in each case, other than Retained Interest, if any, under, and as defined in, the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement and (iii) the Initial Interest Reserve Deposit Amount, (b) the Servicing Accounts, the Indenture Accounts and the related Security Entitlements and all income from the investment of funds in any of the foregoing at any time credited to any of the foregoing accounts,

The Trustee acknowledges such Grants, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties herein in accordance with, and subject to, the terms hereof, in order that the interests of the Secured Parties may be adequately and effectively protected in accordance with this Indenture.

then the Notes Registrar shall either (x) if the transferee is taking a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred or exchanged and the Notes Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note or (y) if the transferee is taking an interest in a Definitive Note, the Notes Registrar shall record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and, upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes, as applicable, registered in the names specified in the instructions described above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Regulation S Global Note transferred by the transferor).

(iii) Definitive Note or Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, such holder, provided such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is not a U.S. person and is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction, may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of:

(1) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member directing the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes, in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, such Holder’s Definitive Notes properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, (2) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase,

(3) in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, and

(4) a duly completed certificate in the form of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto,

then the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Notes) and to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a cancellation of Definitive Notes, equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so cancelled).

(iv) Transfer of Rule 144A Global Notes to Definitive Notes. If, in accordance with Section 2.10, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for a Definitive Note or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.10, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for a Definitive Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (A) a duly complete certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 and (B) appropriate instructions from DTC, if required, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred or exchanged, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes, registered in the names specified in the instructions described in clause (B) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Rule 144A Global Note transferred by the transferor).

 

-67-


(v) Transfer of Definitive Notes to Rule 144A Global Notes. If a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or to transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such Definitive Note for beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note (provided that no IAI may hold an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note). Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; (B) a duly completed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 attached hereto; (C) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member to instruct DTC to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Notes in an amount equal to the Definitive Notes to be transferred or exchanged; and (D) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant’s account of DTC to be credited with such increase, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and approve the instructions at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note transferred or exchanged.

(vi) Transfers of EHRI. Transfers of the Preferred Shares and restrictions on the transfer of the EHRI shall be governed by the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement, and be subject to Section 2.5(n).

(vii) Other Exchanges. In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, such Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers are to a QIB which is also a Qualified Purchaser or are to a non-U.S. Person which is also a Qualified Purchaser, or otherwise comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Note Administrator.

(f) Removal of Legend. If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in Exhibits A and B hereto, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in the State of New York (and addressed to the Issuer and the Note Administrator), as may be reasonably required by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S, as applicable, the 1940 Act or ERISA. So long as the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is relying on an exemption or exclusion under or promulgated pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer shall not remove that portion of the legend required to maintain an exemption or exclusion under or promulgated pursuant to the 1940 Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as confirmed in writing by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the Note Administrator, the Note Administrator, at the direction of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.

 

-68-


(g) Each beneficial owner of Regulation S Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit C-1 hereto.

(h) Each beneficial owner of Rule 144A Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit C-2 hereto.

(i) Each Holder of Definitive Notes shall make the representations and agreements substantially in the form set forth in the certificate attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.

(j) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with Section 2.5(a) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, none of the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), the 1940 Act, ERISA or the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder); provided, however, that if a specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar prior to registration of transfer of a Note, the Note Administrator and/or Notes Registrar, as applicable, is required to request, as a condition for registering the transfer of the Note, such certificate or Opinion of Counsel and to examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of Counsel does not so conform).

(l) If the Note Administrator has actual knowledge or is notified by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager that (i) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Note Administrator any certification required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder of any interest in a Note is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certification or any deemed representation or agreement of such holder, the Note Administrator shall not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Note that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such Holder.

In addition, the Note Administrator may require that the interest in the Note referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any Person designated by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager at a price determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, based upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance of an interest in a Note, authorizes the Note Administrator to take such action. In any case, none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Note Administrator shall be held responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required transfer under this Section 2.5(l).

 

-69-


(m) By its acceptance of a Note, each Holder of a Note will be deemed to have approved and consented to (i) the purchase of the Closing Date Collateral Interests by the Issuer from the Seller on the Closing Date, (ii) the purchase of the Delayed Collateral Interest by the Issuer from the Seller on or prior to the Delayed Purchase Termination Date, (iii) the acquisition of any Subsequent Collateral Interest in accordance with this Indenture, (iv) any sale or other disposition of a Collateral Interest in accordance with this Indenture and (v) any other transaction between the Issuer and any Affiliate of Holdco that is permitted under the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(n) As long as any Note is Outstanding, any retained or repurchased Notes, Retained Securities or ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Sub-REIT, Retention Holder or any other disregarded entity of Sub-REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred (whether by means of an actual transfer or transfer of beneficial ownership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), pledged or hypothecated to any Person (except to an affiliate that is wholly-owned by Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless the Issuer (i) receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion with respect to such transfer, pledge or hypothecation or (ii) has previously received a No Trade or Business Opinion; provided that no opinion will be required if such transfer is to an affiliate that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from Sub-REIT.

(o) Each Holder of Notes agrees to comply with the Holder AML Obligations.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Accounts (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such account) will be owned by Sub-REIT, if the Issuer is wholly-owned by Sub-REIT, or a subsequent REIT that wholly owns the Issuer, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer shall provide to the Note Administrator (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the Closing Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Note Administrator as may be necessary (x) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Note Administrator to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Indenture Accounts or any amounts paid to the Issuer. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Issuer shall timely provide to the Note Administrator accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Note Administrator shall have no liability to the Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Indenture Accounts pursuant to applicable law arising from the Issuer’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Indenture Accounts absent the Note Administrator having first received (i) the requisite written investment direction from the Issuer with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

Section 2.6 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note.

If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the relevant Transfer Agent (each a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to each Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator shall cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth below. Payment of interest on each Class of Notes will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Class of Notes senior thereto and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

-71-


Any payment of interest due on a Class of Deferred Interest Notes on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity Date of, such Class of Notes) to the extent sufficient funds are not available to make such payment in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date, but only if such Class is not the most senior Class Outstanding, shall constitute “Deferred Interest” with respect to such Class and shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferred Interest Notes and (iii) the Stated Maturity Date (or the earlier date of Maturity) of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes. Deferred Interest on any Class of Deferred Interest Notes shall be added to the principal balance of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes. Regardless of whether any more senior Class of Notes is Outstanding with respect to any Class of Deferred Interest Notes, to the extent that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or the Stated Maturity Date of, such Class of Deferred Interest Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such previously accrued Deferred Interest will not be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest will cease to accrue on each Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default occurs with respect to such payments of principal. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on the Class A Notes; or, if no Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Notes of the Controlling Class, shall accrue at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b) The principal of each Class of Notes matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity Date for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Notes may only occur (other than amounts constituting Deferred Interest thereon which will be payable from Interest Proceeds) pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The payment of principal on any Note (x) may only occur after each Class more senior thereto is no longer Outstanding and (y) is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date of the principal due and payable on each Class more senior thereto and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Notes that are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity Date (or the earlier date of Maturity) of such Class of Notes or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Classes of Notes most senior thereto with respect to such Class have been paid in full. Payments of principal on the Notes in connection with a Clean-up Call, Tax Redemption, Auction Call Redemption or Optional Redemption will be made in accordance with Section 9.1 and the Priority of Payments.

 

-72-


(c) As a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Security under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or the Cayman Islands or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms, such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income Is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms. In addition, each of the Issuer, Co-Issuer, the Trustee, Preferred Share Paying Agent or any Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its Collateral and otherwise as may be necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with all applicable laws. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of Notes agree to provide any certification requested pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) (including a properly completed and executed “Entity Self-Certification Form” or “Individual Self-Certification Form” (in the forms published by the Cayman Islands Department for International Tax Cooperation, which forms can be obtained at http://www.tia.gov.ky/pdf/CRS_Legislation.pdf)) and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, as a condition to payment without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax under FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation, the Issuer shall require information to comply with FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation requirements pursuant to clause (xii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit C-1 hereto, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(g) hereto, or pursuant to clause (xiii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit C-2 hereto, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(h) hereto, or pursuant to clause (viii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit C-3 hereto, made pursuant to Section 2.5(i) hereto, as applicable. The Noteholders shall be required to provide to the Issuer, the Note Administrator or their agents all information, documentation or certifications acceptable to it to permit the Issuer or the Note Administrator to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable law, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations.

(d) Payments in respect of interest on and principal on the Notes shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder or its nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Paying Agent on or before the related Record Date or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United States, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Notes Register. The Issuer expects that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note held by the Depository or its nominee, shall immediately credit the applicable Agent Members’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective beneficial interests in such Global Note as shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through Agent Members will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers.

 

-73-


Such payments will be the responsibility of the Agent Members. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at the office of the Paying Agent (or, to a foreign paying agent appointed by the Note Administrator outside of the United States if then required by applicable law, in the case of a Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note) on or prior to such Maturity. None of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity Date thereof) the Issuer or, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall not more than thirty (30) nor fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Notes Register, a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be made and the amount of such payment and shall specify the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(d) hereof, Holders of Notes as of the Record Date in respect of a Payment Date shall be entitled to the interest accrued and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and principal payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments that are mailed or wired and returned to the Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 (or returned to the Trustee).

(f) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

(g) Payments of principal to Holders of the Notes of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Notes of such Class on such Record Date.

(h) Interest accrued with respect to the Notes shall be calculated as described in the applicable form of Note attached hereto.

(i) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date, Redemption Date or upon Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

 

-74-


(j) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Co-Issuer under the Offered Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents are limited-recourse obligations of the Issuer and non-recourse obligations of the Co-Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes only, are payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral, all obligations of the Co-Issuers and any claims of the Noteholders, the Trustee or any other parties to any Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Notes against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner or incorporator of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any of their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture (to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Notes) until such Collateral have been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation in respect of the Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

(k) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by such other Note.

(l) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes (but subject to Sections 2.7(e) and (h)), if the Notes have become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration of Maturity and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled and the provisions of Section 5.5 are not applicable, then payments of principal of and interest on such Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.

(m) Payments in respect of the Preferred Shares as contemplated by Sections 11.1(a)(i)(21), 11.1(a)(ii)(18) and 11.1(a)(iii)(19) shall be made by the Paying Agent to the Preferred Share Paying Agent.

Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and any of their respective agents may treat as the owner of a Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Notes Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest and other amounts on such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the Depository, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices.

 

-75-


With respect to the Preferred Shares, on any Payment Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Preferred Share Paying Agent the distributions thereon for distribution to the Preferred Shareholders.

Section 2.9 Cancellation.

All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, upon delivery to the Notes Registrar, be promptly canceled by the Notes Registrar and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Notes Registrar shall be destroyed or held by the Notes Registrar in accordance with its standard retention policy. Notes of the most senior Class Outstanding (and not Notes of any other Class) that are held by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective Affiliates may be submitted to the Notes Registrar for cancellation at any time.

Section 2.10 Global Notes; Definitive Notes; Temporary Notes.

(a) Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes shall only be issued in the following limited circumstances:

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Note Administrator.

Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. The Note Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Note Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 hereof shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.13 Forced Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a Note or interest therein to a U.S. Person who is determined not to have been both (1) a QIB or an IAI and (2) a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of the Note or interest therein, or any transfer of a Note or interest therein that could result in the Issuer being subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or that could constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, in any case, shall be null and void and any such proposed transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee shall have written notice (which includes via electronic mail) may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee for all purposes.

 

-79-


(b) If the Issuer determines that any Holder of a Note has not satisfied the applicable requirement described in Section 2.13(a) above or such person is a Non-Permitted AML Holder (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), then the Issuer shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent (and notice by the Paying Agent or the Co-Issuer to the Issuer, if either of them makes the discovery), send notice (or cause notice to be sent) to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within thirty (30) days (ten days in the case of a Non-Permitted Holder for ERISA-related reasons) of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale or exercise of such discretion.

(c) If the Issuer (or its agent on its behalf) determines that a Holder has failed for any reason to (i) comply with the Holder AML Obligations (ii) such information or documentation is not accurate or complete, or (iii) the Issuer otherwise reasonably determines that such holder’s acquisition, holding or transfer of an interest in any Note would cause the Issuer to be unable to achieve AML Compliance (any such person a “Non-Permitted AML Holder”), then the Issuer (or its agent acting on its behalf) shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted AML Holder by the Issuer (or its agent on its behalf), send notice (or cause notice to be sent) to such Non-Permitted AML Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted AML Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted AML Holder within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted AML Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted AML Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted AML Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Note, the Non-Permitted AML Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted AML Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted AML Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(c) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale or exercise of such discretion.

-100-


Upon becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer, shall promptly notify (or shall procure the prompt notification of) the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Special Servicer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Shareholders in writing. If the Collateral Manager or Note Administrator has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager or Note Administrator shall promptly notify, in writing, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of such Event of Default.

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g)), the Trustee may (and shall at the direction of a Majority, by outstanding principal amount, of each Class of Notes voting as a separate Class (excluding any Notes owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective Affiliates)), declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable (and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period). Upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable thereunder in accordance with the Priority of Payments shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g) above occurs, such an acceleration shall occur automatically and without any further action and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period. If the Notes are accelerated, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) hereof.

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) (excluding any Notes owned by any Collateral Manager Related Parties), other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g), or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuer or the Co-Issuer has paid or deposited with the Note Administrator a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all unpaid installments of interest on and principal on the Notes that would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(B) all unpaid taxes of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, Company Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due and payable to the Note Administrator or to the Trustee hereunder; (C) with respect to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee, any amount due and payable for unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest; and

 

-101-


(D) with respect to the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager, any Collateral Manager Fee then due and any Company Administrative Expense due and payable under the Servicing Agreement or the Collateral Management Agreement; and

(ii) the Trustee has received notice that all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the interest and principal on the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Trustee, has agreed with such notice (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.

At any such time that the Trustee, subject to Section 5.2(b), shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as permitted hereinabove, the Collateral shall be preserved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that gave rise to such declaration; provided, however, that if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.2, notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the Trustee in the conduct of any Proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or in the sale of any or all of the Collateral; provided that (i) such direction will not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; (iii) the Trustee has received security or indemnity satisfactory to it; and (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to undertake a sale of the Collateral may be made only as described in Section 5.17. The Trustee shall be entitled to refuse to take any action absent such direction.

(d) As security for the payment by the Issuer of the compensation and expenses of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, and any sums the Trustee or Note Administrator shall be entitled to receive as indemnification by the Issuer, the Issuer hereby grants the Trustee a lien on the Collateral, which lien is senior to the lien of the Noteholders. The Trustee’s lien shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and exercisable by the Trustee only if the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.

(e) A Majority of each Class of Notes may, prior to the time a judgment or decree for the payment of amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, waive any past Default on behalf of the holders of all the Notes and its consequences in accordance with Section 5.14.

 

-102-


Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if a Default shall occur in respect of the payment of any interest and principal on any Class of Notes (but only after any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee or any affected Noteholder, pay to the Note Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holder of such Note, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Note for principal and interest or other payment with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Administrator, the Trustee and such Noteholder and their respective agents and counsel.

If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, as Trustee of an express trust, and at the expense of the Issuer, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such Proceedings (x) as directed by a Majority of the Controlling Class or (y) in the absence of direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, as determined by the Trustee acting in good faith; provided, that (a) such direction must not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction, (c) the Trustee has been provided with security or indemnity satisfactory to it, and (d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a sale of Collateral may be given only in accordance with the preceding paragraph, in connection with any sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral, the preceding sentence, and, in all cases, the applicable provisions of this Indenture. Such Proceedings shall be used for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Any direction to the Trustee to undertake a sale of Collateral shall be forwarded to the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall conduct any such sale in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

In the case where (x) there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code, any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law enacted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (y) a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, or their respective property, or (z) there shall be any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, or the creditors or property of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, regardless of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration, or otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

 

-103-


(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes or to the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor;

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or of a Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

(iii) to collect and receive (or cause the Note Administrator to collect and receive) any amounts or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute (or cause the Note Administrator to distribute) all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; the Secured Parties, and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee (or the Note Administrator on its behalf), and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee and the Note Administrator such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, each predecessor trustee and note administrator, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, and each predecessor backup advancing agent.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, vote for, accept or adopt, on behalf of any Noteholder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

 

-104-


Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 unless the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met and any sale of Collateral contemplated to be conducted by the Trustee under this Indenture shall be effected by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for or in connection with any such sale.

Section 5.4 Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree that the Trustee, or, with respect to any sale of any Collateral Interests, the Special Servicer, may, after notice to the Note Administrator and the Noteholders, and shall, upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or otherwise payable under this Indenture (whether by declaration or otherwise), enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Collateral any amounts adjudged due;

(ii) sell all or a portion of the Collateral or rights of interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof (provided that any such sale shall be conducted by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement);

(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

(iv) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder; and

The Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, upon request of the Trustee or the Special Servicer, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts expected to be received with respect to the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

 

-105-


(c) Upon any Sale in connection with an Event of Default, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Noteholder, Preferred Shareholder, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may bid for and purchase the Collateral or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of Sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability; and any purchaser at any such Sale may, in paying the purchase money, turn in any of the Notes in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Notes so turned in by such Holder (taking into account the Class of such Notes). Such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall either be returned to the Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon to show partial payment or a new note shall be delivered to the Holders reflecting the reduced interest thereon.

Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Note Administrator or of the Officer making a sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase money and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such Sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall (x) bind the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Noteholders and the Preferred Shareholders, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold and (y) be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, none of the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party, any other party to any Transaction Document, the Holder of the Notes and the holders of the equity in the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or third party beneficiary of this Indenture may, prior to the date which is one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands)) and one day after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Permitted Subsidiary, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands)) and one day period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any of their respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

Section 5.5 Preservation of Collateral.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required under this Indenture) retain the Collateral, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Collateral and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and 13 and shall not sell or liquidate the Collateral, unless either:

(i) the Note Administrator, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines (based upon information delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture) that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes, Company Administrative Expenses due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments, the Collateral Manager Fees due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments and amounts due and payable to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee in respect of unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest, for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest), and, upon receipt of information from Persons to whom fees are expenses are payable, all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal on the Notes due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) and the holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or

(ii) a Supermajority of each Class of Notes (each voting as a separate Class) directs the sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral.

In the event of a sale of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall sell that portion of the Collateral identified by the requisite Noteholders and all proceeds of such sale shall be remitted to the Note Administrator for distribution in the order set forth in Section 11.1(a). The Note Administrator shall give written notice of the retention of the Collateral by the Custodian to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require a sale of the Collateral securing the Offered Notes if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Collateral securing the Offered Notes if prohibited by applicable law.

 

-107-


(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Manager shall obtain bid prices with respect to each Collateral Interest from two dealers (Independent of the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates) at the time making a market in such Collateral Interests that, at that time, engage in the trading, origination or securitization of whole loans or interests therein similar to the Collateral Interests (or, if only one such dealer can be engaged, then the Collateral Manager shall obtain a bid price from such dealer or, if no such dealer can be engaged, from a pricing service). The Collateral Manager shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Collateral Interest and provide the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the results thereof. For the purposes of determining issues relating to the market value of any Collateral Interest and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Collateral Manager may, but need not, retain at the expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation or other appropriate advisors (the cost of which shall be payable as a Company Administrative Expense) in connection with a determination as to whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists.

The Note Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager, and the Note Administrator shall post to the Note Administrator’s Website, a report stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).

Section 5.6 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust. Any recovery of judgment in respect of the Notes shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7 hereof.

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) in respect of the Notes, the Trustee shall be deemed to represent all the Holders of the Notes.

Section 5.7 Application of Amounts Collected.

Any amounts collected by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article 5 and any amounts that may then be held or thereafter received by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be applied subject to Section 13.1 hereof and in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(iii) hereof, at the date or dates fixed by the Note Administrator.

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any Proceedings (the right of a Noteholder to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes is subject to any non-petition covenants set forth in this Indenture or the Notes), judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

-108-


(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default;

(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9 hereof, the Holders of at least 25% by Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(c) the Trustee for thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such thirty (30)-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Notes, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 hereof and the Priority of Payments.

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action until it shall have received the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (except for Section 2.7(d) and 2.7(m)), the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.8 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that the right of such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment shall not be subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when the Retention Holder holds 100% of the Preferred Shares, the Retention Holder may designate all or any portion of the available funds that would otherwise be distributed by the Paying Agent for payment on the Preferred Shares, for deposit into the Payment Account as a contribution to the Issuer. Any such amounts paid to the Issuer as a contribution shall be deemed for all purposes as having been paid by the Paying Agent pursuant to the Priority of Payments in this Indenture.

If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then (and in every such case) the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee, or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.13 Control by the Controlling Class.

Subject to Sections 5.2(a) and (b), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of conducting, any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee and for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of the Notes; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the Trustee has received indemnity satisfactory to it against such liability as set forth below);

(c) the Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it; and (d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Collateral shall be performed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, and must satisfy the requirements of Section 5.5.

Section 5.14 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, as provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default in respect of the Notes and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of principal of any Note;

(b) in the payment of interest in respect of the Controlling Class;

(c) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that, under Section 8.2, cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note adversely affected thereby; or

(d) in respect of any right, covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of the Trustee or the Note Administrator, without the Trustee’s or the Note Administrator’s express written consent thereto, as applicable.

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Any such waiver shall be effectuated upon receipt by the Trustee and the Note Administrator of a written waiver by such Majority of each Class of Notes.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by (x) the Trustee, (y) any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class or (z) any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including but not limited to filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.17 Sale of Collateral.

(a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount until the entire Collateral shall have been sold. The Special Servicer may, upon notice to the Securityholders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three (3) Business Days after the date of the determination by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof, such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Special Servicer has again made the determination required by Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Special Servicer shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it, or by the Trustee or the Note Administrator in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.

(b) The Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Notes.

(c) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, which, in the case of any Collateral Interests, shall be upon request and delivery of any such instruments by the Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer, with respect to Collateral Interests, and the Trustee, with respect to any other Collateral, is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s or Special Servicer’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or to see to the application of any amounts.

 

-112-


(d) In the event of any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) in the same manner as if the Notes had been accelerated.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sale by the Trustee of any portion of the Collateral shall be executed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.

Section 5.18 Action on the Notes.

The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the application for or obtaining of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the Collateral of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.

(c) If, in performing its duties under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Note Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may request written instructions from, prior to an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager, and after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class, as to courses of action desired by it. If the Trustee and the Note Administrator does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

(i) for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that it was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; or

(ii) with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, and/or a Majority of the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Note Administrator in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Note Administrator under this Indenture.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the Note Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture, except where this Indenture provides otherwise.

 

-114-


(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class, the Trustee (in the case of the Note Administrator), the Note Administrator (in the case of the Trustee) and/or a Noteholder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

The Note Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the notices provided by the Benchmark Agent facilitating or specifying the Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and such other administrative procedures with respect to the calculation of any Benchmark Replacement.

(i) For all purposes under this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of either the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is received by the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s and the Note Administrator’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

(j) The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, permit the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and their designees, during its normal business hours, to review all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the Notes and to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, by such Person).

If no successor Trustee or Note Administrator shall have been so appointed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the Controlling Class or any Holder may, on behalf of itself or himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Note Administrator.

Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be, and the address of its respective Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, the successor Trustee or Note Administrator shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be.

(g) The resignation or removal of the Note Administrator in any capacity in which it is serving hereunder (other than as Backup Advancing Agent), including Note Administrator, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent, Custodian and Notes Registrar, shall be deemed a resignation or removal, as applicable, in each of the other capacities in which it serves. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note Administrator shall not be deemed to resign or be removed as Note Administrator in the event the Note Administrator is no longer acting as the Backup Advancing Agent.

Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee or Note Administrator appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the parties hereto including the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator shall become effective and such successor Trustee or Note Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be; but, on request of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Collateral Manager or the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator shall, upon payment of its fees, indemnities and other amounts then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all property and amounts held by such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.7(d).

In case any of the Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Note Administrator then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Note Administrator may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Note Administrator had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 6.12 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

At any time or times, including, but not limited to, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, for enforcement actions, or where a conflict of interest exists, the Trustee shall have power to appoint, one or more Persons to act as co-trustee jointly with the Trustee or as a separate trustee with respect to of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12.

Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Issuer and the Co-Issuer do not both join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have power to make such appointment on its own.

 

-124-


Should any written instrument from the Issuer or the Co-Issuer be required by any co-trustee, so appointed, more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be. The Issuer agrees to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Collateral) to the extent funds are available therefor under the Priority of Payments, for any reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such appointment.

Every co-trustee, shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer evidenced by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of, or remove, any co-trustee appointed under this Section 6.12, and in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.

(d) no co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee hereunder, and any co-trustee hereunder shall be entitled to all the privileges, rights and immunities under Article 6 hereof, as if it were named the Trustee hereunder;

(e) except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section 6.12 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities hereunder; and

Section 6.15 Representations and Warranties of the Note Administrator.

The Note Administrator represents and warrants for the benefit of the other parties to this Indenture and the parties to the Servicing Agreement that:

 

-126-


(a) the Note Administrator is a national banking association with trust powers, duly and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, with corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement, and is duly eligible and qualified to act as Note Administrator under this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement; (b) this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Note Administrator and each constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Note Administrator, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (ii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Noteholder or payee shall be treated as Cash distributed to such Noteholder or payee at the time it is deducted or withheld by the Issuer or the Note Administrator, as applicable, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Note Administrator may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.17.

ARTICLE 7

COVENANTS

Section 7.1 Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on each Class of Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Amounts properly withheld under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, and, with respect to the Preferred Shares, by the Issuer, to such Preferred Shareholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

The Note Administrator shall, unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, give notice to each Securityholder of any such withholding requirement no later than ten (10) days prior to the related Payment Date from which amounts are required (as directed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to be withheld, provided that, despite the failure of the Note Administrator to give such notice, amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as provided above.

Section 7.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Co-Issuers hereby appoint the Note Administrator as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and the Issuer hereby appoints Corporation Service Company in New York, New York, as its agent where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture may be served.

 

-128-


The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, and, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency outside of the United States where Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, further, that no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served on the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 7.3 Amounts for Note Payments to be Held in Trust.

(a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer by the Note Administrator or a Paying Agent (in each case, from and to the extent of available funds in the Payment Account and subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Notes.

When the Paying Agent is not also the Notes Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Notes Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder together with wiring instructions, contact information, and such other information reasonably required by the paying agent.

Whenever the Paying Agent is not also the Note Administrator, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and such Paying Agent shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Note Administrator to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and subject to the Priority of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Note Administrator) the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly notify the Note Administrator of its action or failure so to act. Any amounts deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Note Administrator) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Note Administrator for application in accordance with Article 11. Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree by assuming such role not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary for the non-payment to the Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) and one day after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

 

-129-


The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of the Issuer and Issuer Order of the Co-Issuer and at the sole cost and expense (including such Paying Agent’s fee) of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with written notice thereof to the Note Administrator; provided, however, that so long as any Class of Rated Notes is Outstanding and with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent for the Notes, either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of “AA” by Fitch and “A2” by Moody’s and a short-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “F2” by Fitch and “P-1” by Moody’s or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to the employment of such Paying Agent. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of “BBB+” or higher by Fitch and “Baa1” or higher by Moody’s and a short-term debt rating of at least “F2” by Fitch and “P-2” by Moody’s, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause the Paying Agent other than the Note Administrator to execute and deliver to the Note Administrator an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Note Administrator (and if the Note Administrator acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(ii) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(iii) if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums held by it for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to satisfy the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

(iv) if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately give the Note Administrator notice of any Default by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made; and

(v) if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Note Administrator, forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums so held by such Paying Agent.

 

-130-


The Issuer or the Co-Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Note Administrator all sums held by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or held by the Paying Agent for payment of the Notes, such sums to be held by the Note Administrator in trust for the same Noteholders as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Note Administrator, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such amounts.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any amounts deposited with the Note Administrator in trust or deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent with respect to such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable) shall thereupon cease. The Note Administrator or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

Section 7.4 Existence of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer.

(a) So long as any Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or any of the Collateral; provided that the Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of registration from the Cayman Islands to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Issuer so long as (i) such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes or the Preferred Shares, (ii) it delivers written notice of such change to the Note Administrator for delivery to the Holders of the Notes or Preferred Shares, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Rating Agencies and (iii) on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of such notice by the Note Administrator to the Noteholders, the Note Administrator shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class or a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders objecting to such change. So long as any Rated Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer will maintain at all times at least one director (which may be an independent director or springing member) who is Independent of the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates.

 

-131-


(b) So long as any Note is Outstanding, the Co-Issuer shall maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture or the Notes; provided, however, that the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of formation from Delaware to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Co-Issuer so long as (i) such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes, (ii) it delivers written notice of such change to the Note Administrator for delivery to the Holders of the Notes and the Rating Agencies and (iii) on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following such delivery of such notice by the Note Administrator to the Noteholders, the Note Administrator shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class objecting to such change.

To the extent the Calculation Agent is removed without cause, the expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Calculation Agent’s responsibilities hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Issuer. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. If no successor Calculation Agent shall have been appointed within thirty (30) days after giving of a notice of resignation, the resigning Calculation Agent or a Majority of the Holders of the Notes, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the Issuer’s expense, for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as practicable after the Reference Time, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day immediately following each Benchmark Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Benchmark for the related Interest Accrual Period and will communicate such information to the Note Administrator, who shall include such calculation on the next Monthly Report following such Benchmark Determination Date. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Benchmark Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Benchmark and the Interest Distribution Amounts for each Class of Notes, together with the reasons therefor. The determination of the Note Interest Rates and the related Interest Distribution Amounts, respectively, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.16, if the Issuer is no longer a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT, prior to the time that:

(ii) restructuring of a Collateral Interest that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or to become subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis,

(iii) the Issuer would acquire the real property underlying any Collateral Interest pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or

federal income tax purposes, (B) to form one or more “grantor trusts” to hold the Loans and (C) to implement any other provisions deemed necessary (as determined by the tax counsel providing the opinion) to prevent the Issuer from being treated as a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise becoming subject to U.S. federal withholding tax or U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis; (iii) the Preferred Shareholder shall pay the administrative and other costs related to the Issuer converting from a Qualified REIT Subsidiary to operating as a foreign corporation, including the costs of any opinions and amendments; and (iv) the Preferred Shareholder agrees to pay any ongoing expenses related to the Issuer’s status as a foreign corporation not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including but not limited to U.S. federal income tax filings required by the Issuer, the “grantor trusts” or any taxable subsidiaries or required under FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation.

Section 7.16 Issuer Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall, following delivery of an Issuer Order to the parties hereto, be permitted to sell or otherwise transfer to an Issuer Subsidiary at any time any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting entirely of the equity interests of such Issuer Subsidiary (or for an increase in the value of equity interests already owned). Such Issuer Order shall certify that the sale of a Sensitive Asset is being made in accordance with satisfaction of all requirements of this Indenture. The Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Release Request with respect to a Sensitive Asset, release such Sensitive Asset and shall deliver such Sensitive Asset as specified in such Release Request. The following provisions shall apply to all Sensitive Asset and Issuer Subsidiaries:

(a) For all purposes under this Indenture (other than for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes), any Sensitive Asset transferred to a Issuer Subsidiary shall be treated as if it were an asset owned directly by the Issuer.

(b) Any distribution of Cash by an Issuer Subsidiary to the Issuer shall, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein, be characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds to the same extent that such Cash would have been characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds if received directly by the Issuer and each Issuer Subsidiary shall cause all proceeds of and collections on each Sensitive Asset owned by such Issuer Subsidiary, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein, to be deposited into the Payment Account.

(c) To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall form one or more Securities Accounts with the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of each Issuer Subsidiary and shall, to the extent applicable, cause Sensitive Asset to be credited to such Securities Accounts.

(d) Notwithstanding the complete and absolute transfer of a Sensitive Asset to an Issuer Subsidiary, the ownership interests of the Issuer in an Issuer Subsidiary or any property distributed to the Issuer by an Issuer Subsidiary shall be treated as a continuation of its ownership of the Sensitive Asset that was transferred to such Issuer Subsidiary (and shall be treated as having the same characteristics as such Sensitive Asset).

(e) If the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, or any other authorized party takes any action under this Indenture to sell, liquidate or dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to sell each Sensitive Asset and all other Collateral held by such Issuer Subsidiary, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein, and distribute the proceeds of such sale, net of any amounts necessary to satisfy any related expenses and tax liabilities, to the Issuer in exchange for the equity interest in such Issuer Subsidiary held by the Issuer.

 

-145-


(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.16, any Sensitive Asset transferred to an Issuer Subsidiary that is a Taxable REIT Subsidiary shall be treated as a transfer of beneficial ownership of the Sensitive Asset for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes. All parties agree to treat any Issuer Subsidiary that is a Taxable REIT Subsidiary as the owner of such Sensitive Asset and any related income for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes (including in any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state or local income taxing authority).

Section 7.17 Repurchase Requests.

If the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer receives any request or demand that a Collateral Interest be repurchased or substituted arising from any Material Breach of a representation or warranty made with respect to such Collateral Interest, any Material Document Defect or a Combined Loan Repurchase Event (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”) or a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request from any Person other than the Servicer or Special Servicer, then the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee, the Note Administrator the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly forward such notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, to the Servicer (if related to a Performing Loan) or Special Servicer (if related to a Specially Serviced Loan), and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request/withdrawal of a Repurchase Request” under Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement relating to TRTX 2025-FL6 Issuer, Ltd. and TRTX 2025-FL6 Co-Issuer, LLC, requiring action from you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder.” Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to the prior sentence, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, and shall be responsible for complying with the procedures set forth in Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Repurchase Request.

Section 7.18 Servicing of Loans and Control of Servicing Decisions.

The Serviced Loans will be serviced by the Servicer or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, subject to the consultation, consent and direction rights of the Collateral Manager as set forth in the Servicing Agreement, subject to those conditions, restrictions or termination events expressly provided therein.

Section 7.20 Benchmark Agent.

(a) The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager hereby accepts the appointment as Benchmark Agent for purposes of determining from time to time at such intervals as it determines whether a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred for purposes of this Indenture and the Notes as set forth in Section 2.16.

(b) The Benchmark Agent shall be entitled to receive, on each Payment Date, reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in the course of performing its obligations hereunder in the order specified in the Priority of Payments as set forth in Section 11.1 (or in such other manner in which Company Administrative Expenses are permitted to be paid under this Indenture). Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances of the Benchmark Agent’s agents, counsel, consultants, advisors and experts (provided that any out-of-pocket fees paid to the Benchmark Agent’s consultants, advisors or experts shall be limited to $75,000 over the life of the transaction). The payment obligations to the Benchmark Agent pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Indenture. If the Benchmark Agent is terminated pursuant to clause (j) below, the Benchmark Agent shall be entitled to be paid on the next succeeding Payment Date all expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination, resignation or removal in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1.

(c) In the discharge of its obligations, the Benchmark Agent shall not be liable for actions taken or omitted to be taken unless such actions are taken or omitted to be taken by reason of the Benchmark Agent’s gross negligence in the performance of its obligations and duties under the Indenture or by reason of its grossly negligent disregard of those obligations or duties. The Issuer hereby waives and releases, subject to the foregoing, any and all claims with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to a Benchmark Replacement, including determinations as to the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement Date, the selection of a Benchmark Replacement, the determination of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and the determination and implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(d) The Benchmark Agent shall have no direct or indirect liability whatsoever to the holders of any interest in any Note, it being understood that the only remedies available to holders of the Notes in respect of any Benchmark Replacement will be the implementation via court order of a different Benchmark Replacement and the implementation of any court-ordered Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and the determination and implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and other potential remedies, but not any remedies against the Benchmark Agent.

 

-147-


(e) The Note Administrator, Calculation Agent and any third party from whom the Benchmark Agent receives advice in connection with the discharge of its obligations as Benchmark Agent will be beneficiaries of this Section 7.20.

(f) The Benchmark Agent shall have no responsibility in respect of any failure to select a Benchmark Replacement due to the unavailability of sufficient guidance from the Relevant Governmental Body or ISDA Definitions or from market practice (taking into account guidance from consultants, advisors or experts) or in the event the Benchmark Agent determines in its discretion that there is not otherwise an industry-accepted rate of interest, spread adjustment or methods for calculating a Benchmark Replacement. The Benchmark Agent shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with its understanding of the recommendations, selections, endorsements or any other guidelines provided by a Relevant Governmental Body or ISDA; provided, however, that the Benchmark Agent shall only be liable to the extent that it was grossly negligent. In the event the Benchmark Agent has to make determinations giving due consideration to industry-accepted standards or market practice, the Benchmark Agent shall, unless it has acted grossly negligent, be fully protected in making such determinations based on its understanding of current industry-accepted standards or market practice (it being understood that such standards or practices may evolve quickly and over time), and the Benchmark Agent may, in its sole discretion, refrain from performing its obligations until it determines that such industry-accepted standards or market practice exist to make such determinations. In all cases, the Benchmark Agent may consult with and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the advice of legal counsel and the advice of consultants, advisors and experts with respect to any determination that the Benchmark Agent is required to make as Benchmark Agent and shall be protected if it acts in reliance upon such advice.

(g) The Benchmark Agent shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, statement, notice, resolution, request, direction, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.6, the Benchmark Agent may exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Benchmark Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it. The Benchmark Agent shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Note Administrator or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Issuer, the Servicer, the Note Administrator or another Person.

(h) Under no circumstances shall the Benchmark Agent be liable for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages under or pursuant to this Indenture, its duties or obligations hereunder or arising out of or relating to the subject matter hereof, even if the Benchmark Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action. Notwithstanding anything herein and without limiting the generality of any terms of Section 2.17 or this Section 7.20, the Benchmark Agent shall not have any liability to the extent of any expense, loss, damage, demand, charge or claim resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such party including the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities markets, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses, communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, fire, war, terrorism, riots, rebellions, or other similar acts.

 

-148-


No provision of this Indenture shall require the Benchmark Agent to take any action that it believes to be contrary to applicable law or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties thereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Benchmark Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any provisions or terms of any Transaction Document to which it is not a party.

(i) The Issuer shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Benchmark Agent, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity and including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with (i) in the case of the Benchmark Agent, the discharge of the obligations of the Benchmark Agent, other than for its own gross negligence (notwithstanding any other provision or standard of care referenced herein or in the Transaction Documents), and (ii) in the case of the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, their reliance upon the actions of the Benchmark Agent. With respect to the institution of any claims, disputes or lawsuits arising out of or in connection with the discharge of its obligations as Benchmark Agent, the Benchmark Agent will be entitled to receive, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses as described in clause (b) above, liquidated damages in an amount 1.5 times the aggregate out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) otherwise owing to it pursuant to the foregoing indemnity. For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnities payable under this subsection and liquidated damages shall be uncapped and payable as Company Administrative Expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(j) Subject to Section 7.1(k), the Benchmark Agent may resign its duties hereunder by providing the Issuer with 15 days’ prior written notice. Subject to Section 7.1(k), the Issuer may remove the Benchmark Agent for cause by providing the Benchmark Agent with at least 15 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will be required to promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Website) and each Rating Agency) if (i) the Benchmark Agent shall default in the performance of any of its duties under this Indenture and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such default within 15 days (or, if such default cannot be cured in such time, shall not have given within 10 days such assurance of cure as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer), (ii) the Benchmark Agent is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger) or has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger), (iii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief, and such decree or order shall not have been vacated within 60 days, in respect of the Benchmark Agent in any involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for the Benchmark Agent or any substantial part of its property or order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs or (iv) the Benchmark Agent shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official for the Benchmark Agent or any substantial part of its property, shall consent to the taking of possession by any such official of any substantial part of its property, shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due.

 

-149-


The Benchmark Agent agrees that if any of the events specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will be required to promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Website) and each Rating Agency within three Business Days after the happening of such event. The Benchmark Agent shall cooperate with the Issuer and any successor Benchmark Agent, and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the Issuer in making an orderly transfer of the duties of the Benchmark Agent.

(k) No resignation or removal of the Benchmark Agent pursuant to this Section shall be effective until a successor Benchmark Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer that is reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer. If a successor Benchmark Agent does not take office within 15 days after the retiring Benchmark Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Benchmark Agent, the Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Benchmark Agent at the expense of the Issuer.

(l) The Benchmark Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time with cause, or without cause upon 30 days’ written notice.

(e) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Notes of each Class whose consent is required to request the Trustee to preserve the Collateral or rescind any election to preserve the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5 or to sell or liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5 hereof;

Section 8.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 8 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Note Administrator and Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied (which Opinion of Counsel may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate as to whether or not the Securityholders would be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture). The Note Administrator and Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

The Issuer will be required to provide a draft of any proposed supplement, modification or amendment to the Indenture to the Note Administrator for posting on the Note Administrator’s website at least fifteen (15) Business Days before such supplement, modification or amendment is executed.

The Servicer and Special Servicer will be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture of which it has received written notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplement; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Servicer or the Special Servicer adversely affect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be bound (and the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee each agrees that it will not permit any such amendment to become effective) unless the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, gives written consent to the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Issuer to such amendment. The Issuer, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall give written notice to the Servicer and Special Servicer of any amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to its terms. In addition, the Servicer and Special Servicer’s written consent shall be required prior to any amendment to this Indenture by which it is adversely affected.

The Collateral Manager will be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture, a copy of which it has received at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplement; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Collateral Manager, adversely affect it, the Collateral Manager will not be bound (and the Issuer agrees that it shall not permit any such amendment to become effective) unless the Collateral Manager gives written consent to the Trustee and the Issuer to such amendment. The Issuer and the Note Administrator shall give written notice to the Collateral Manager of any amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition, the Collateral Manager’s written consent shall be required prior to any amendment to this Indenture by which the Collateral Manager is adversely affected.

The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture (i) if such action would adversely affect the tax treatment of the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” to any material extent or otherwise cause any of the statements described in the Offering Memorandum under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” to be inaccurate or incorrect to any material extent, and (ii) unless the Trustee and the Note Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel from Dechert LLP, Vinson & Elkins LLP or other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters that the proposed supplemental indenture will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a foreign corporation that is engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the receipt of notice from the Rating Agencies or the Requesting Party, which may be in electronic form, that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and (ii) receipt of an Opinion of Counsel forwarded to the Trustee and the Note Administrator certifying that, following provision of notice of such supplemental indenture to the Noteholders and holders of the Preferred Shares, that the Securityholders would not be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Securityholders. Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Securityholders under this Section 8.3 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Note Administrator, at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail to the Securityholders, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sponsor and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding and so rated, the Rating Agencies a copy thereof based on an outstanding rating. Any failure of the Trustee and the Note Administrator to publish or mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 8.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 8, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes and every Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder, and every Holder of Preferred Shares, shall be bound thereby.

Disposition of Collateral in connection with a Clean-up Call may include sales of Collateral to more than one purchaser, including by means of sales of participation interests in one or more Participated Loans to more than one purchaser. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall not sell any Collateral Interest to any Affiliate of Holdco other than Retention Holder in connection with a Clean-up Call.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Indenture, in the case of a Clean-up Call, if the Preferred Shareholder and/or one or more Affiliates thereof own 100% of one or more of the most junior Classes of Notes, such Holder(s) may, in lieu of the Issuer paying such Holder(s) the Redemption Price for such Notes and Preferred Shares, elect to exchange such Notes and the Preferred Shares for all of the Collateral Interests and other assets of the Issuer that remain after the sale of such portion of the Collateral as is necessary to generate cash proceeds in an amount equal to the Total Redemption Price (excluding the Redemption Price attributable to any Notes or Preferred Shares so exchanged).

(b) The Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as applicable, in whole but not in part, at the written direction of a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders delivered to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee, on the Payment Date following the occurrence of a Tax Event if the Tax Materiality Condition is satisfied at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Prices (such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”); provided that that the funds available to be used for such Tax Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.

Upon the receipt of such written direction of a Tax Redemption, the Note Administrator shall provide written notice thereof to the Securityholders and the Rating Agencies. Any sale or disposition of a Collateral Interest by the Special Servicer in connection with a Tax Redemption shall be performed upon Issuer Order by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer.

(c) The Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as applicable, in whole but not in part, and without payment of any penalty or premium, at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Prices, on any Payment Date after the end of the Non-call Period, at the written direction of a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee (such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”); provided, however, that the funds available to be used for such Optional Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall not sell any Collateral Interest to any affiliate other than Retention Holder in connection with an Optional Redemption.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Indenture, in the case of an Optional Redemption, if the Preferred Shareholder and/or one or more Affiliates thereof own 100% of one or more of the most junior Classes of Notes, such Holder(s) may, in lieu of the Issuer paying such Holder(s) the Redemption Price for such Notes and Preferred Shares, elect to exchange such Notes and the Preferred Shares for all of the Collateral Interests and other assets of the Issuer that remain after the sale of such portion of the Collateral as is necessary to generate cash proceeds in an amount equal to the Total Redemption Price (excluding the Redemption Price attributable to any Notes or Preferred Shares so exchanged).

(d) The Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as applicable, in whole but not in part, at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Prices, on any Payment Date occurring in March, June, September and December in each year, beginning on the Payment Date occurring in March 2035, upon the occurrence of a Successful Auction, as defined in, and pursuant to the procedures set forth in, Exhibit J hereto (such redemption, an “Auction Call Redemption”).

(e) The election by the Collateral Manager to redeem the Notes pursuant to a Clean-up Call shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager directing the Note Administrator to pay to the Paying Agent the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed from funds in the Payment Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments. In connection with a Tax Redemption, the occurrence of a Tax Event and satisfaction of the Tax Materiality Condition and the election by a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders to redeem the Notes pursuant to a Tax Redemption shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager certifying that such conditions for a Tax Redemption have occurred. The election by a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders to redeem the Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager certifying that the conditions for an Optional Redemption have occurred.

The failure of any Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call or Tax Redemption that is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 9.3 Notice of Redemption or Maturity by the Issuer.

Any sale or disposition of a Collateral Interest by the Trustee in connection with an Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call, Tax Redemption or Auction Call Redemption shall be performed upon Issuer Order by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability therefore.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, or at their request, by the Note Administrator in their names, and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Notes.

Section 9.4 Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

(a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall Default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon) the Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on the Notes so to be redeemed whose Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(f).

The Note Administrator shall deposit from its own funds in the Payment Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss; provided that the Note Administrator shall not be required to deposit the amount of any loss on any investment of funds if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state-chartered depository institution or trust company that holds the Payment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account” in the month in which the loss occurred and at the time such investment was made.

All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Expense Reserve Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Expense Reserve Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Expense Reserve Account. The Note Administrator shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of such Expense Reserve Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment. If the Note Administrator does not receive written investment instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, funds in the Expense Reserve Account shall be held invested in accordance with Section 11.2.

Section 10.6 Unused Proceeds Account.

(a) The Issuer shall cause the Securities Intermediary to establish, on or prior to the Closing Date, a single, segregated trust account designated as the “Unused Proceeds Account” and shall be held in trust in the name of the Issuer, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, into which the amount specified in Section 3.2(e) shall be deposited, and over which the Note Administrator shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. All amounts credited from time to time to the Unused Proceeds Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Note Administrator as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided.

(b) The Note Administrator agrees to give the Issuer prompt notice if it becomes aware that the Unused Proceeds Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Unused Proceeds Account, becomes subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.

-166-


(e) To the extent not applied pursuant to Section 12.6, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may direct the Note Administrator to, and upon such direction the Note Administrator shall cause the Securities Intermediary to, invest all funds in the Unused Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Collateral Manager as provided in Section 11.2. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Unused Proceeds Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Unused Proceeds Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Unused Proceeds Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Reinvestment Period, the Issuer shall be permitted to acquire any Delayed Collateral Interest which has terms that materially differ from the terms disclosed in the Offering Memorandum so long as (i) the collateral, tenor and general credit features of the Delayed Collateral Interest are substantially as described on Annex A to the Offering Memorandum, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Rating Agency and (iii) the Delayed Collateral Interest satisfies the applicable Eligibility Criteria, and the Acquisition Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements are satisfied.

Section 10.7 Interest Advances.

(a) With respect to each Payment Date for which the sum of Interest Proceeds and, if applicable, Principal Proceeds, collected during the related Due Period and remitted to the Note Administrator that are available to pay interest on the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments, are insufficient to remit the interest due and payable with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes on such Payment Date as a result of interest shortfalls on the Collateral Interests (or the application of interest received on the Collateral Interests to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement) (the amount of such insufficiency, an “Interest Shortfall”), the Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with email notice of such Interest Shortfall no later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date, at the following address: TRTXCLONotice@tpg.com, or such other email address as provided by the Advancing Agent to the Note Administrator. The Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with additional email notice, prior to any funding of an Interest Advance by the Advancing Agent, of any additional interest remittances received by the Note Administrator after delivery of such initial notice that reduces such Interest Shortfall. No later than 10:00 a.m.

 

-167-


(New York time) on the related Payment Date, the Advancing Agent shall advance the difference between such amounts (each such advance, an “Interest Advance”) by deposit of an amount equal to such Interest Advance in the Payment Account, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b), and subject to a maximum limit in respect of any Payment Date equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Interest Shortfall that would otherwise occur on the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes and (ii) the aggregate amount of the interest payments not received in respect of Collateral Interests with respect to such Payment Date (including, for such purpose, interest payments received on the Collateral Interests but applied to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no circumstance shall the Advancing Agent be required to make an Interest Advance in respect of a Collateral Interest to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of all unreimbursed Interest Advances would exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes. In addition, in no event shall the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee be required to advance any payments in respect of (i) interest on any Class of Notes other than the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes or (ii) principal of any Note. Any Interest Advance made by the Advancing Agent with respect to a Payment Date that is in excess of the actual Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date shall be refunded to the Advancing Agent by the Note Administrator on the related Payment Date (or, if such Interest Advance is made prior to final determination by the Note Administrator of such Interest Shortfall, on the Business Day of such final determination).

The Advancing Agent shall provide the Note Administrator written notice of a determination by the Advancing Agent that a proposed Interest Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the related Payment Date. If the Advancing Agent fails to make any required Interest Advance by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Payment Date upon which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the Collateral Manager shall remove the Advancing Agent in its capacity as advancing agent hereunder as permitted in Section 16.5(d) and the Backup Advancing Agent shall be required to make such Interest Advance no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Payment Date, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Backup Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b). If the Backup Advancing Agent fails to make any required Interest Advance by 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on any Payment Date, then the Backup Advancing Agent shall notify the Trustee via email at cmbstrustee@wilmingtontrust.com no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on such Payment Date and shall furnish to the Trustee any information requested by the Trustee to determine recoverability of such Interest Advance. The Trustee shall, based on its determination of recoverability, make such Interest Advance no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York Time) on the Payment Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Advancing Agent or Backup Advancing Agent with respect to a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance hereunder. Based upon available information at the time, the Backup Advancing Agent, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, will provide fifteen (15) days prior notice to the Rating Agencies if recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall on the next succeeding Payment Date. No later than the close of business on the Determination Date related to a Payment Date on which the recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall, the Backup Advancing Agent, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall provide the Rating Agencies with notice of such recovery.

 

-168-


(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to make any Interest Advance unless such Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith that such Interest Advance, or such proposed Interest Advance, plus interest expected to accrue thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, will not be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. In determining whether any proposed Interest Advance will be, or whether any Interest Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, will take into account certain factors, including but not limited to:

(i) amounts that may be realized on each Mortgaged Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy;

(ii) the potential length of time before such Interest Advance may be reimbursed and the resulting degree of uncertainty with respect to such reimbursement; and

(iii) the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and

(iv) the fact that Interest Advances are intended to provide liquidity only and not credit support to the Holders of any Class of Notes entitled thereto.

For purposes of any such determination of whether an Interest Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, an Interest Advance shall be deemed to be nonrecoverable if the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that future Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds may be ultimately insufficient to fully reimburse such Interest Advance, plus interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate within a reasonable period of time. The Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on any affirmative determination by the Advancing Agent that an Interest Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Absent bad faith, the determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, as to the nonrecoverability of any Interest Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes.

(c) Each of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee may recover any previously unreimbursed Interest Advance made by it (including any Nonrecoverable Interest Advance), together with interest thereon, first, from Interest Proceeds and second (to the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such reimbursement), from Principal Proceeds to the extent that such reimbursement would not trigger an additional Interest Shortfall; provided that if at any time an Interest Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee shall be entitled to recover all outstanding Interest Advances from the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior to the related Determination Date. The Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee, as the case may be, shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of recoveries of Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in such manner as the Advancing Agent, Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines is in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes, as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in installments.

 

-169-


(d) The Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will each be entitled with respect to any Interest Advance made by it (including Nonrecoverable Interest Advances) to interest accrued on the amount of such Interest Advance for so long as it is outstanding at the Reimbursement Rate.

(e) The obligations of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee to make Interest Advances in respect of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes will continue through the Stated Maturity Date, unless the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes are previously redeemed or repaid in full.

(f) In no event shall the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent hereunder, or the Trustee, in its capacity as backup advancing agent hereunder, be required to advance any amounts in respect of payments of principal of any Collateral Interest or Note. Additionally, in no event shall the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, or the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent hereunder, be required to advance any amounts in respect of payments of principal or interest, or any other amounts, of any Collateral Interest.

(g) In consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Advancing Agent Fee. For so long as Seller (or any of its Affiliates) is the Advancing Agent and the Retention Holder (or any of its Affiliates) owns the Preferred Shares, the Advancing Agent hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, to waive its rights to receive the Advancing Agent Fee and any Reimbursement Interest. The Note Administrator and the Trustee shall not be entitled to an additional fee in respect of its role as Backup Advancing Agent or backup advancing agent, as applicable. If the Advancing Agent is terminated for failing to make an Interest Advance hereunder (as provided in Section 16.5(d)) (or for failing to make a Servicing Advance under the Servicing Agreement) that the Advancing Agent did not determine to be nonrecoverable, any applicable subsequent successor advancing agent will be entitled to receive the Advancing Agent Fee (plus Reimbursement Interest on any Interest Advance made by the applicable subsequent successor advancing agent).

(h) The determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee (in its capacity as successor Advancing Agent), as applicable, (i) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance (together with Reimbursement Interest thereon) or (ii) that any proposed Interest Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the 17g-5 Information Provider, setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of, or the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, entitlement to reimbursement with respect to, any Interest Advance.

 

-170-


(i) With respect to any Interest Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights, protections and immunities hereunder, including, without limitation, the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Interest Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, the Advancing Agent Fee and the right to determine that a proposed Interest Advance is a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all references to “Backup Advancing Agent” in Section 11.1 relating to reimbursing the Backup Advancing Agent for any Interest Advance or interest thereon shall include the “Trustee,” so the Note Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw from the Payment Account any amounts available to pay the Trustee, reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances and other items and use such amounts instead to reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances; provided that the Trustee shall have priority over the Backup Advancing Agent for such reimbursements.

(j) The Trustee will remain eligible to act as Backup Advancing Agent for so long as it maintains its eligibility requirements as Trustee under Section 6.8.

Section 10.8 Reports by Parties.

(A) in the case of an Interested Person other than the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price, or

(B) in the case of the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates:

(I) until the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price thereof; and

(II) after the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, following disclosure to, and approval by, the Advisory Committee, equal to or greater than the greater of (x) the Par Purchase Price thereof and (y) the fair market value thereof; or

(iii) with respect to a Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default, for a price that (x) the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or (y) the Trustee, as applicable, determines to be at least equal to the fair market value of such Defaulted Collateral Interest (any purchase in this clause (iii) and clause (ii) above is referred to herein as a “Credit Risk/Defaulted Collateral Interest Cash Purchase”).

(c) Whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person. If the Trustee is required to determine the fair price for any Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default, Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Issuer), and shall, if the purchaser is the Seller or any of its Affiliates, designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to such Collateral Interest, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine the fair market value for such Collateral Interest. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such third party determination; provided that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price for purposes of this Section 12.1 unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) if such Collateral Interest has been marketed for sale for a period of less than three months, at least one other offer is received from an independent third party.

(ii) with respect to any Credit Risk Collateral Interest:

(1) until the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, the sum of (1) the Par Purchase Price of such Exchange Collateral Interest plus (2) the cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer by the Collateral Manager or an affiliate of the Collateral Manager, in connection with such exchange, is equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price of the Credit Risk Collateral Interest sought to be exchanged; and

(2) after the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, the sum of (1) the Par Purchase Price of such Exchange Collateral Interest plus (2) the cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer by the Collateral Manager or an affiliate of the Collateral Manager, in connection with such exchange, is equal to or greater than the greater of (x) the Par Purchase Price of the Credit Risk Collateral Interest sought to be exchanged and (y) the fair market value of such Credit Risk Collateral Interest.

(j) The Holders of each Class of Notes are deemed to agree, for the benefit of all Holders of the Notes, not to institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, liquidation or other similar proceedings under the laws of any jurisdiction before one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) have elapsed since the final payments to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 13.2 Standard of Conduct.

In exercising any of its or their voting rights, rights to direct and consent or any other rights as a Securityholder under this Indenture, a Securityholder or Securityholders shall not have any obligation or duty to any Person or to consider or take into account the interests of any Person and shall not be liable to any Person for any action taken by it or them or at its or their direction or any failure by it or them to act or to direct that an action be taken, without regard to whether such action or inaction benefits or adversely affects any Securityholder, the Issuer or any other Person, except for any liability to which such Securityholder may be subject to the extent the same results from such Securityholder’s taking or directing an action, or failing to take or direct an action, in bad faith or in violation of the express terms of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 14

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel also may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, certifying as to the factual matters that form a basis for such Opinion of Counsel and stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee or the Note Administrator at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s or the Co-Issuer’s rights to make such request or direction, the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(h).

 

-202-


Section 14.2 Acts of Securityholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee or the Note Administrator deems sufficient.

(c) The principal amount and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Notes Register. The Notional Amount and registered numbers of the Preferred Shares held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the register of members maintained with respect to the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may conclusively rely on an Investor Certification to determine ownership of any Notes.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Securityholder shall bind such Securityholder (and any transferee thereof) of such Security and of every Security issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, all demands, notices and communications may be made by electronic mail. Any of the above-referenced Persons may change its address or email address for notices hereunder by giving notice of such change to the other Persons. All notices and demands shall be deemed to have been given at the time of the delivery at the address or email address of such Person for notices hereunder if personally delivered, mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier or email; provided, however, that any notice delivered after normal business hours of the recipient or on a day which is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been given on the next succeeding Business Day. All communications with the 17g-5 Information Provider shall be conducted in the manner required by Section 14.13.

Section 14.4 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement provides for notice to Holders of Notes of any event,

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if posted on the Note Administrator’s Website and delivered to DTC, or in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Note affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Notes Register or via DTC, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice;

(b) such notice shall be in the English language; and

(c) all reports or notices to Preferred Shareholders shall be sufficiently given if posted on the Note Administrator’s Website or provided in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Preferred Share Paying Agent.

 

-210-


The Note Administrator shall deliver to the Holders of the Notes any information or notice in its possession, requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Notes.

Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Notes. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Notes shall be made with the approval of the Note Administrator and shall constitute sufficient notification to such Holders of Notes for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee and with the Note Administrator, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 14.5 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 14.6 Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 14.7 Severability.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 14.8 Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than (i) the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and (ii) the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar, the Noteholders and the Sponsor (each of whom shall be an express third party beneficiary hereunder), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 14.9 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 14.10 Submission to Jurisdiction.

Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes or this Indenture, and each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it at the office of the Issuer’s and the Co-Issuer’s agent set forth in Section 7.2. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 14.11 Counterparts and Signatures.

This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. This Indenture and any document in the Collateral Interest File shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party (and any respective successors and permitted assigns thereof) when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of such party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case, to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof.

 

-212-


Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Indenture in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

Section 14.12 Liability of Co-Issuers.

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement entered into between, inter alios, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or otherwise, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall have any liability whatsoever to the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively, under this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or otherwise and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to take any steps to enforce, or bring any action or proceeding, in respect of this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or otherwise against the other Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively. In particular, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to petition or take any other steps for the winding up or bankruptcy of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively or shall have any claim in respect of any Collateral of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively.

Section 14.13 17g-5 Information.

(a) The Co-Issuers shall comply with their obligations under Rule 17g-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 17g-5”), by their or their agent’s posting on the 17g-5 Website, no later than the time such information is provided to the Rating Agencies, all information that the Issuer or other parties on its behalf, including the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, provide to the Rating Agencies for the purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Notes or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Notes (the “17g-5 Information”); provided that no party other than the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer may provide information to the Rating Agencies on the Issuer’s behalf without the prior written consent of the Issuer. At all times while any Notes are rated by any Rating Agency or any other NRSRO, the Issuer shall engage a third party to post 17g-5 Information to the 17g-5 Website. The Issuer hereby engages the Note Administrator (in such capacity, the “17g-5 Information Provider”), to post 17g-5 Information it receives from the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer to the 17g-5 Website in accordance with this Section 14.13, and the Note Administrator hereby accepts such engagement.

(b) Any information required to be delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider by any party under this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement shall be delivered to it via electronic mail at 17g5informationprovider@computershare.com, specifically with a subject reference of “TRTX 2025-FL6 Issuer, Ltd.” and an identification of the type of information being provided in the body of such electronic mail, or via any alternative electronic mail address following notice to the parties hereto or any other delivery method established or approved by the 17g-5 Information Provider.

 

-213-


Upon delivery by the Co-Issuers to the 17g-5 Information Provider (in an electronic format mutually agreed upon by the Co-Issuers and the 17g-5 Information Provider) of information designated by the Co-Issuers as having been previously made available to NRSROs by the Co-Issuers (the “Pre-Closing 17g-5 Information”), the 17g-5 Information Provider shall make such Pre-Closing 17g-5 Information available only to the Co-Issuers and to NRSROs via the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant this Section 14.13(b). The Co-Issuers shall not be entitled to direct the 17g-5 Information Provider to provide access to the Pre-Closing 17g-5 Information or any other information on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website to any designee or other third party.

(c) The 17g-5 Information Provider shall make available, solely to NRSROs, the following items to the extent such items are delivered to it via email at 17g5informationprovider@computershare.com, specifically with a subject reference of “TRTX 2025-FL6 Issuer, Ltd.” and an identification of the type of information being provided in the body of the email, or via any alternate email address following notice to the parties hereto or any other delivery method established or approved by the 17g-5 Information Provider if or as may be necessary or beneficial; provided that such information is not locked or corrupted and is otherwise received in a readable and uploadable format:

(i) any statements as to compliance and related Officer’s Certificates delivered under Section 7.9;

(ii) any information requested by the Issuer or the Rating Agencies;

(iii) any notice to the Rating Agencies relating to the Special Servicer’s determination to take action without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition;

(iv) any requests for satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition that are delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider pursuant to Section 14.14;

(v) any summary of oral communications with the Rating Agencies that are delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider pursuant to Section 14.13(c); provided that the summary of such oral communications shall not disclose which Rating Agencies the communication was with;

(vi) any amendment or proposed supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.3; and

(vii) the “Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Servicer Document Request Tool” pursuant to Section 10.13(e).

The foregoing information shall be made available by the 17g-5 Information Provider on the 17g-5 Website or such other website as the Issuer may notify the parties hereto in writing.

 

 

-214-


(d) Information shall be posted on the same Business Day of receipt provided that such information is received by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) or, if received after 12:00 p.m. (New York time), on the next Business Day. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall have no obligation or duty to verify, confirm or otherwise determine whether the information being delivered is accurate, complete, conforms to the transaction, or otherwise is or is not anything other than what it purports to be. In the event that any information is delivered or posted in error, the 17g-5 Information Provider may remove it from the 17g-5 Website. The 17g-5 Information Provider (and the Trustee) has not obtained and shall not be deemed to have obtained actual knowledge of any information posted to the 17g-5 Website to the extent such information was not produced by it. Access will be provided by the 17g-5 Information Provider to NRSROs upon receipt of an NRSRO Certification in the form of Exhibit F hereto (which certification may be submitted electronically via the 17g-5 Website).

(e) Upon request of the Issuer or a Rating Agency, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Website any additional information requested by the Issuer or such Rating Agency to the extent such information is delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider electronically in accordance with this Section 14.13. In no event shall the 17g-5 Information Provider disclose on the 17g-5 Website the Rating Agency or NRSRO that requested such additional information.

(f) The 17g-5 Information Provider shall provide a mechanism to notify each Person that has signed-up for access to the 17g-5 Website in respect of the transaction governed by this Indenture each time an additional document is posted to the 17g-5 Website.

(f) The Issuer hereby agrees, and hereby undertakes to obtain the agreement and consent of the Seller in the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement to the following:

The payment of principal and interest on this Note is senior to the payments of the principal of, and interest on, each Class of Notes with a lower alphabetical designation and the Preferred Shares. So long as any Class A Notes are Outstanding, any more junior Class of Notes and the Preferred Shares will receive payments only in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

The payment of principal and interest on this Note is senior to the payments of the principal of, and interest on, each Class of Notes with a lower alphabetical designation and the Preferred Shares. So long as any Class B Notes are Outstanding, any more junior Class of Notes and the Preferred Shares will receive payments only in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Interest will cease to accrue on this Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such part, from the date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default occurs with respect to such payments of principal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment of interest and principal due on this Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at any Paying Agent.

The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner hereof for all purposes.

Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Administrator or the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class C Third Priority Secured Floating Rate Notes Due 2042, of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (the “Class C Notes,” and together with the other Classes of Notes issued under the Indenture, the “Notes”), issued under an indenture dated as of March 28, 2025 (the “Indenture”) by and among the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, TRTX Master CLO Loan Seller, LLC, as advancing agent (the “Advancing Agent”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Trustee”), and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as note administrator, paying agent, calculation agent, authenticating agent, transfer agent, custodian, backup advancing agent and notes registrar (in all such capacities, together with any permitted successors and assigns, the “Note Administrator”).

Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Issuer also will issue preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), under the Issuer’s Memorandum and Articles of Association as part of its issued share capital.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Advancing Agent, the Holders of the Notes and the Preferred Shares and the terms upon which the Notes and the Preferred Shares are, and are to be, executed, authenticated and delivered.

A-8-4


For so long as any Class of Notes with a higher priority is outstanding, any interest due on the Class C Notes that is not paid as a result of the operation of the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments will be deferred, will not be considered “due and payable” and the failure to pay such interest will not be an Event of Default under the Indenture. Deferred Interest on any Class of Notes will be added to the outstanding principal balance of such Class of Notes and will accrue interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes are subject to redemption pursuant to Article 9 of the Indenture in accordance with the terms and procedures for redemption thereunder.

Notes for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest on the applicable Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon).

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Class C Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, a Majority of each Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class), other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g) or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if certain conditions set forth in the Indenture are satisfied.

The Indenture may be amended and supplemented under the circumstances, and in accordance with the conditions, set forth therein.

The Notes are issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof (plus any residual amount).

The principal of each Note shall be payable on the Stated Maturity Date, unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor-in-interest to the Issuer under the Indenture and the term “Co-Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor-in-interest to the Co-Issuer under the Indenture.

Title to Notes shall pass by registration in the Notes Register kept by the Note Administrator, acting through its Corporate Trust Office.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Note Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

No right or remedy conferred herein or in the Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or to the Holder hereof is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Other than in connection with any Redemption Date, the Stated Maturity Date or a Payment Date following an acceleration of the Notes as a result of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, (a) payments of interest on the Class D Notes shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(i) of the Indenture and (b) payments of principal of the Class D Notes shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(ii) of the Indenture.

Deferred Interest on any Class of Notes will be added to the outstanding principal balance of such Class of Notes and will accrue interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes are subject to redemption pursuant to Article 9 of the Indenture in accordance with the terms and procedures for redemption thereunder.

Notes for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest on the applicable Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon).

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Class D Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture may be amended and supplemented under the circumstances, and in accordance with the conditions, set forth therein.

The Notes are issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof (plus any residual amount).

The principal of each Note shall be payable on the Stated Maturity Date, unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor-in-interest to the Issuer under the Indenture and the term “Co-Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor-in-interest to the Co-Issuer under the Indenture.

Each purchaser and any subsequent transferee of this Note or any interest herein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of this Note or any interest herein, be deemed to have agreed to treat this Note as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

No right or remedy conferred herein or in the Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or to the Holder hereof is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner hereof for all purposes.

TRTX 2025-FL6 ISSUER, LTD., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Issuer”) for value received, hereby promises to pay to [TRTX Master Retention Holder, LLC] or its registered assigns (a) upon presentation and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture referred to below), the principal sum of the amount indicated above on the Payment Date occurring in September 2042 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), to the extent not previously paid, in accordance with the Indenture referred to below unless the unpaid principal of this Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise and (b) the Class F Interest Distribution Amount allocable to this Note in accordance with the Indenture payable on the 18th day of the month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) commencing on the Payment Date in April 2025, and ending on the Stated Maturity Date unless the Notes are redeemed or repaid prior thereto (each, a “Payment Date”). Interest on the Class F Notes shall accrue at the Class F Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. The interest so payable on any Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Payment Date.

The payment of principal and interest on this Note is senior to the payments of the principal of, and interest on, each Class of Notes with a lower alphabetical designation and the Preferred Shares. So long as any Class F Notes are Outstanding, any more junior Class of Notes and the Preferred Shares will receive payments only in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The principal of this Note shall be due and payable no later than the Stated Maturity Date unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

Payments in respect of principal and interest and any other amounts due on any Payment Date on this Note shall be payable by the Paying Agent, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the registered Holder hereof; provided that the registered Holder shall have provided wiring instructions to the Paying Agent on or before the related Record Date, or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by Dollar check drawn on a bank as provided in the Indenture and mailed to the registered Holder at its address in the Notes Register.

Interest will cease to accrue on this Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such part, from the date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default occurs with respect to such payments of principal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment of interest and principal due on this Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at any Paying Agent.

The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner hereof for all purposes.

Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Administrator or the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class F Seventh Priority Floating Rate Notes Due 2042, of the Issuer (the “Class F Notes,” and together with the other Classes of Notes issued under the Indenture, the “Notes”), issued under an indenture dated as of March 28, 2025 (the “Indenture”) by and among the Issuer, TRTX 2025-FL6 Co-Issuer, LLC, TRTX Master CLO Loan Seller, LLC, as advancing agent (the “Advancing Agent”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Trustee”), and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as note administrator, paying agent, calculation agent, authenticating agent, transfer agent, custodian, backup advancing agent and notes registrar (in all such capacities, together with any permitted successors and assigns, the “Note Administrator”).

Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Issuer also will issue preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), under the Issuer’s Memorandum and Articles of Association as part of its issued share capital.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Advancing Agent, the Holders of the Notes and the Preferred Shares and the terms upon which the Notes and the Preferred Shares are, and are to be, executed, authenticated and delivered.

B-2-4


For so long as any Class of Notes with a higher priority is outstanding, any interest due on the Class F Notes that is not paid as a result of the operation of the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments will be deferred, will not be considered “due and payable” and the failure to pay such interest will not be an Event of Default under the Indenture. Deferred Interest on any Class of Notes will be added to the outstanding principal balance of such Class of Notes and will accrue interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes are subject to redemption pursuant to Article 9 of the Indenture in accordance with the terms and procedures for redemption thereunder.

Notes for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest on the applicable Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon).

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Class F Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, a Majority of each Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class), other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g) or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if certain conditions set forth in the Indenture are satisfied.

The Indenture may be amended and supplemented under the circumstances, and in accordance with the conditions, set forth therein.

The Notes are issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof (plus any residual amount).

The principal of each Note shall be payable on the Stated Maturity Date, unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor-in-interest to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Each Holder, by its acquisition of an interest in the Notes, shall be deemed to have represented and agreed to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Placement Agents, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the Collateral Manager that (a) it is not and will not be, and is not acting on behalf of or using any assets of any person that is or will become, an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, any other employee benefit plan which is subject to any federal, state, local or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” by reason of any such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity or otherwise or (b)(I) in the case of the Offered Notes, its acquisition, holding and disposition of the such Offered Notes do not and will not constitute or give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or, in the case of a plan or entity subject to Similar Law, a non-exempt violation of Similar Law or (II) in the case of Notes that are not Offered Notes, it is, or is acting on behalf of or using any assets of, a plan that is subject to Similar Law (and such plan is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or any entity considered to hold “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan or plan) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code) and its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes do not and will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

Title to Notes shall pass by registration in the Notes Register kept by the Note Administrator, acting through its Corporate Trust Office.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Note Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

No right or remedy conferred herein or in the Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or to the Holder hereof is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

TRTX 2025-FL6 ISSUER, LTD., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Issuer”) for value received, hereby promises to pay to [TRTX Master Retention Holder, LLC] or its registered assigns (a) upon presentation and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture referred to below), the principal sum of the amount indicated above on the Payment Date occurring in September 2042 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), to the extent not previously paid, in accordance with the Indenture referred to below unless the unpaid principal of this Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise and (b) the Class G Interest Distribution Amount allocable to this Note in accordance with the Indenture payable on the 18th day of the month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) commencing on the Payment Date in April 2025, and ending on the Stated Maturity Date unless the Notes are redeemed or repaid prior thereto (each, a “Payment Date”). Interest on the Class G Notes shall accrue at the Class G Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. The interest so payable on any Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Payment Date.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Note and the Indenture are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Collateral Interests and other Collateral, and in the event the Collateral Interests and such other Collateral are insufficient to satisfy such obligations, any claims of the Holders of the Notes shall be extinguished, all in accordance with the Indenture.

The payment of principal and interest on this Note is senior to the payments of the principal of, and interest on, each Class of Notes with a lower alphabetical designation and the Preferred Shares. So long as any Class G Notes are Outstanding, any more junior Class of Notes and the Preferred Shares will receive payments only in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The principal of this Note shall be due and payable no later than the Stated Maturity Date unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

Payments in respect of principal and interest and any other amounts due on any Payment Date on this Note shall be payable by the Paying Agent, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the registered Holder hereof; provided that the registered Holder shall have provided wiring instructions to the Paying Agent on or before the related Record Date, or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by Dollar check drawn on a bank as provided in the Indenture and mailed to the registered Holder at its address in the Notes Register.

Interest will cease to accrue on this Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such part, from the date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default occurs with respect to such payments of principal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment of interest and principal due on this Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at any Paying Agent.

The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner hereof for all purposes.

Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Administrator or the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class G Eighth Priority Floating Rate Notes Due 2042, of the Issuer (the “Class G Notes,” and together with the other Classes of Notes issued under the Indenture, the “Notes”), issued under an indenture dated as of March 28, 2025 (the “Indenture”) by and among the Issuer, TRTX 2025-FL6 Co-Issuer, LLC, TRTX Master CLO Loan Seller, LLC, as advancing agent (the “Advancing Agent”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Trustee”), and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as note administrator, paying agent, calculation agent, authenticating agent, transfer agent, custodian, backup advancing agent and notes registrar (in all such capacities, together with any permitted successors and assigns, the “Note Administrator”).

Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Issuer also will issue preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”), under the Issuer’s Memorandum and Articles of Association as part of its issued share capital.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Advancing Agent, the Holders of the Notes and the Preferred Shares and the terms upon which the Notes and the Preferred Shares are, and are to be, executed, authenticated and delivered.

Other than in connection with any Redemption Date, the Stated Maturity Date or a Payment Date following an acceleration of the Notes as a result of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, (a) payments of interest on the Class G Notes shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(i) of the Indenture and (b) payments of principal of the Class G Notes shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(ii) of the Indenture. On any Redemption Date, the Stated Maturity Date or a Payment Date following an acceleration of the Notes as a result of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, payments of interest on, and principal of, the Class G Notes, will be payable in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(iii) of the Indenture.

 

B-4-4


For so long as any Class of Notes with a higher priority is outstanding, any interest due on the Class G Notes that is not paid as a result of the operation of the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments will be deferred, will not be considered “due and payable” and the failure to pay such interest will not be an Event of Default under the Indenture. Deferred Interest on any Class of Notes will be added to the outstanding principal balance of such Class of Notes and will accrue interest at applicable Note Interest Rate.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes are subject to redemption pursuant to Article 9 of the Indenture in accordance with the terms and procedures for redemption thereunder.

Notes for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest on the applicable Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon).

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Class G Notes may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, a Majority of each Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class), other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g) or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if certain conditions set forth in the Indenture are satisfied.

The Indenture may be amended and supplemented under the circumstances, and in accordance with the conditions, set forth therein.

The Notes are issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof (plus any residual amount).

The principal of each Note shall be payable on the Stated Maturity Date, unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor-in-interest to the Issuer under the Indenture.

Each purchaser and any subsequent transferee of this Note or any interest herein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of this Note or any interest herein, be deemed to have agreed to treat this Note as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In connection with the purchase of this Note, the Holder and each beneficial owner thereof agrees that: (A) none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Placement Agents, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor for such Holder or beneficial owner; (B) such Holder or beneficial owner is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Placement Agents, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective affiliates other than any statements in the final offering memorandum for such Notes, and such Holder or beneficial owner has read and

 

B-4-5


understands such final offering memorandum; (C) such Holder or beneficial owner has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent it has deemed necessary and has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to the Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Placement Agents, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective affiliates.

Each Holder, by its acquisition of an interest in the Notes, shall be deemed to have represented and agreed to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Placement Agents, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the Collateral Manager that (a) it is not and will not be, and is not acting on behalf of or using any assets of any person that is or will become, an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, any other employee benefit plan which is subject to any federal, state, local or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” by reason of any such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity or otherwise or (b)(I) in the case of the Offered Notes, its acquisition, holding and disposition of the such Offered Notes do not and will not constitute or give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or, in the case of a plan or entity subject to Similar Law, a non-exempt violation of Similar Law or (II) in the case of Notes that are not Offered Notes, it is, or is acting on behalf of or using any assets of, a plan that is subject to Similar Law (and such plan is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or any entity considered to hold “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan or plan) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code) and its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes do not and will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

Title to Notes shall pass by registration in the Notes Register kept by the Note Administrator, acting through its Corporate Trust Office.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Note Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

No right or remedy conferred herein or in the Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or to the Holder hereof is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

ANNEX A

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

This Confidentiality Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) is made in connection with TRTX 2025-FL6 Issuer, Ltd., as issuer (the “Issuer” and, together with its affiliates, the “Furnishing Entities” and each a “Furnishing Entity”) and TRTX 2025-FL6 Co-Issuer, LLC, as co-issuer (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with the Issuer, the “Co-Issuers”) furnishing certain financial, operational, structural and other information relating to the issuance of the floating rate notes issued by the Issuer (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of March 28, 2025 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, TRTX Master CLO Loan Seller, LLC, as advancing agent (the “Advancing Agent”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as note administrator (in such capacity, the “Note Administrator”), and the assets underlying or referenced by the Notes, including the identity of, and financial information with respect to borrowers, sponsors, guarantors, managers and lessees with respect to such assets (together, the “Collateral Interests”) to you (the “NRSRO”) through the website of Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as 17g-5 Information Provider under the Indenture. Information provided by each Furnishing Entity is labeled as provided by the specific Furnishing Entity.

 

  (1)

Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include the following information (irrespective of its source or form of communication, including information obtained by you through access to this site) that may be furnished to you by or on behalf of a Furnishing Entity in connection with the issuance or monitoring of a rating with respect to the Certificates: (x) all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts, records, agreements, legal documents and other information (such information, the “Evaluation Material”) and (y) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, including the status thereof; provided, however, that the term Confidential Information shall not include information which:

 

  (a)

was or becomes generally available to the public (including through filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosure in an offering document) other than as a result of a disclosure by you or a NRSRO Representative (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) below) in violation of this Confidentiality Agreement;

 

  (b)

was or is lawfully obtained by you from a source other than a Furnishing Entity or its representatives that (i) is reasonably believed by you to be under no obligation to maintain the information as confidential and (ii) provides it to you without any obligation to maintain the information as confidential; or

 

  (c)

is independently developed by the NRSRO without reference to any Confidential Information.

 

  (2)

Information to Be Held in Confidence.

 

  (a)

You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

 

  (b)

You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States federal and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

 

  (c)

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 3, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

 

F-3


  (i)

disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

 

  (ii)

solely to the extent required for compliance with Rule 17g-5(a)(3) of the Act (17 C.F.R. 240.17g-5), post the Confidential Information to the NRSRO’s password protected website; and

 

  (iii)

use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.

 

  (3)

Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you have been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment is pending. You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

 

  (4)

Obligation to Return Evaluation Material. Promptly upon written request by or on behalf of the relevant Furnishing Entity, all material or documents, including copies thereof, that contain Evaluation Material will be destroyed or, in your sole discretion, returned to the relevant Furnishing Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement.

 

  (5)

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement.

 

  (a)

The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

 

F-4


  (b)

You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

 

  (c)

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity. It is further understood and agreed that no failure to or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

 

  (6)

Term. Notwithstanding the termination or cancellation of this Confidentiality Agreement and regardless of whether the NRSRO has provided a credit rating on a Security, your obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement will survive indefinitely.

 

  (7)

Governing Law. This Confidentiality Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under the Confidentiality Agreement, the relationships of the parties and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within such State.

 

  (8)

Amendments. This Confidentiality Agreement may be modified or waived only by a separate writing by the NRSRO and each Furnishing Entity.

 

  (9)

Entire Agreement. This Confidentiality Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and the Furnishing Entities relating to the treatment of Confidential Information heretofore or hereafter reviewed or inspected by you. This agreement supersedes all other understandings and agreements between us relating to such matters; provided, however, that, if the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with another agreement relating to the Confidential Information that specifically states that the terms of such agreement shall supersede, modify or amend the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, then to the extent the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement conflict with such agreement, the terms of such agreement shall control notwithstanding acceptance by you of the terms hereof by entry into this website.

Auction Process

a) To the extent any Holder, any Preferred Shareholder, any Placement Agent and any of their respective Affiliates are Eligible Bidders, such parties will be allowed to bid in the Auction, but will not be required to do so.

b) On the Auction Date, all bids will be due by facsimile to the offices of the Trustee by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, with the winning bidder to be notified by 3:00 p.m. New York City time. All bids from Listed Bidders on the List will be due on the bid sheet contained in the solicitation package. Each bid shall be for the purchase and delivery to one purchaser (i) of all (but not less than all) of the Collateral or (ii) identified Collateral.

c) Reserved.

d) With the advice of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee shall select the bid or bids which result in the Highest Auction Price (in excess of the specified Minimum Bid Amount) from one or more Listed Bidders.

e) Upon notification to the winning bidder or bidders, the winning bidder or bidders will be required to deliver to the Trustee a signed counterpart of the Purchase Agreement no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Auction Date. Each winning bidder shall make payment in full of the purchase price on the Business Day (the “Auction Purchase Closing Date”) specified in the general solicitation package (which shall be the tenth Business Day before the Auction Call Redemption Date). If a winning bidder so requests, the Trustee and the Issuer will enter into a bailee letter with the winning bidder and its designated bank (which bank shall be subject to approval by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer); provided, that such bank enters into an account control agreement with the Trustee and the Issuer and has been assigned ratings at least equal to those required for a successor Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. If the above requirements are satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver the Collateral (to be sold to such bidder) pursuant thereto to the bailee bank at least one Business Day prior to the closing on the sale of the Collateral and accept payment of the purchase price pursuant thereto. If payment in full of the purchase price is not made by the Auction Purchase Closing Date for any reason whatsoever by any winning bidder, the Issuer shall decline to consummate the sale of any Collateral, the Trustee and the Issuer shall direct the bailee bank to return the Collateral to the Trustee, and (if notice of redemption has been given by the Trustee) the Trustee shall give notice (in accordance with the Trust Deed) that the Auction Call Redemption will not occur.

As used in this Exhibit J, “Eligible Bidder” means, any person that is able to satisfy the requirements under the Purchase Agreement and all other transfer documents applicable to the transactions for which such bid is submitted.

As used in this Exhibit J, “Highest Auction Price” means, whichever is higher, the highest price bid by any Listed Bidder for all of the Collateral, or (ii) the sum of the highest prices bid by a Listed Bidder for any Collateral or group of Collateral. In any case in which more than one bidder bids for one or more items of Collateral in combination with other Collateral, the Collateral Manager will select the bids which maximize the net sales proceeds to be received by the Auction. In each case, the price bid by a bidder shall be the dollar amount which the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee based on the Collateral Manager’s review of the bids, which certification shall be binding and conclusive.

Section 2.2. Execution; Delivery; Dating and Cancellation.

(a) Any Preferred Share Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one or more Authorized Officers of the Issuer (and, with respect to any Preferred Share Certificate issued after the Closing Date, shall additionally be executed by the Preferred Share Paying Agent). The signature of such Authorized Officer on a Preferred Share Certificate shall be manual and may not be facsimile or other electronic transmission (including a Portable Document Format (PDF) copy sent by email).

(b) Preferred Share Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the delivery of such Preferred Share Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Preferred Shares.

 

-6-


(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Issuer may deliver Preferred Share Certificates executed by the Issuer to the Preferred Share Paying Agent for authentication, and the Preferred Share Paying Agent, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Preferred Share Certificates as directed by the Issuer.

(d) All Preferred Share Certificates authenticated and delivered by the Preferred Share Paying Agent upon Issuer Order on the Closing Date shall be dated on the Closing Date. All other Preferred Share Certificates that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any purpose under this Agreement shall be dated on the date of their execution.

(e) No Preferred Share Certificate (other than the Preferred Share Certificate issued on the Closing Date) shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Preferred Share Certificate a Preferred Share Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Preferred Share Paying Agent by the manual signature of one of their Authorized Officers and executed by the Issuer, and such certificate upon any Preferred Share Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Preferred Share Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(f) All Preferred Share Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Preferred Share Paying Agent, be delivered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, and shall promptly be cancelled. No Preferred Share Certificates shall be issued in lieu of or in exchange for any Preferred Share Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 2.2(f), except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Preferred Share Certificates held by the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall be destroyed or held by the Preferred Share Paying Agent in accordance with its standard retention policy.

(g) If (i) any mutilated or defaced Preferred Share Certificate is surrendered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent (each, a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Preferred Share Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to each Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Preferred Share Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificate, a new Preferred Share Certificate, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal notional amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificate and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Preferred Share Certificate, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Preferred Share Certificate presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Preferred Share Certificate, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Preferred Share Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificate has become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Preferred Share Certificate, pay such Preferred Share Certificate without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Preferred Share Certificate shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Preferred Share Certificate under this Section 2.2(g), the Issuer may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Preferred Share Paying Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Preferred Share Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 2.2(g) in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, and such new Preferred Share Certificate shall be entitled, subject to this Section 2.2(g), to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Preferred Share Certificates duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.2(g) are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificates.

Section 2.3. Registration.

(a) The Issuer shall keep or cause to be kept the Preferred Share Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Preferred Share Registrar shall provide for the registration of holders of, and the registration of transfers and exchanges of, Preferred Shares. The Administrator is hereby initially appointed as agent of the Issuer to act as the Preferred Share Registrar for the purpose of maintaining the Preferred Share Register and registering and recording in the Preferred Share Register the Preferred Shares and transfers of such Preferred Shares as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Preferred Share Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall promptly provide the Preferred Share Registrar with all information necessary to prepare and maintain the Preferred Share Register (upon receipt by the Preferred Share Paying Agent thereof). The Preferred Share Registrar shall be entitled to rely on such information provided to it pursuant to the preceding sentence without any liability on its part.

(b) The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall maintain a duplicate share register and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such duplicate share register for the purpose of payment on the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have the right to inspect the Preferred Share Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Preferred Share Registrar by an Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders and the numbers of such Preferred Shares. If either party becomes aware of any discrepancies between the Preferred Share Register and the duplicate share register, it shall promptly inform the other of the same and the Preferred Share Registrar and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall cooperatively ensure that the Preferred Share Register and the duplicate share register are reconciled in a timely manner and in any case prior to the next Record Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have no duty to monitor or determine whether any discrepancies exist between the two registers.

(f) The Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar, and any agent of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent or the Preferred Share Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Preferred Shares are registered on the Preferred Share Register as the owner of such Preferred Shares on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments in respect of such Preferred Shares and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar or any agent of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent or the Preferred Share Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.5. Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Shares.

(a) Restrictions on Transfer.

(i) As long as any Note is outstanding, the beneficial interests in the Preferred Shares and the Ordinary Shares shall not be transferred (whether by means of actual transfer or a transfer of beneficial ownership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), pledged or hypothecated to any other person, entity or entities (except to an affiliate that is wholly-owned by Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes), unless the Issuer receives an opinion of Dechert LLP, Vinson & Elkins LLP or another nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer, pledge or hypothecation will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise to become subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis (such opinion, a “No Entity-Level Tax Opinion”) (or has previously received an opinion of Dechert LLP, Vinson & Elkins LLP or another nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters that the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes), which opinion may be conditioned, in each case, on compliance with certain restrictions on the investment or other activities of the Issuer and the Servicer or the Collateral Manager, in either case, on behalf of the Issuer; provided that no opinion will be required if such transfer is to an affiliate that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from Sub-REIT. Any financing arrangement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall prohibit any further transfer (whether by means of actual transfer or a transfer of beneficial ownership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Preferred Shares and the Ordinary Shares, including a transfer in connection with any exercise of remedies under such financing unless the Issuer receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion with respect to such financing.

(ii) No Preferred Shares may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and is exempt under applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.

(iii) At all times, if a sale or transfer (including without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) of all or a portion of the EHRI is to be made, then the Preferred Share Registrar and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall refuse to register such sale or transfer unless:

 

-10-


(A) such sale or transfer is to a “majority-owned affiliate,” as such term is defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, of the Securitization Sponsor;

(B) such sale or transfer will occur after the termination of the EHRI Transfer Restriction Period; or

(C) the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Share Registrar receives an opinion of Dechert LLP or another nationally recognized securities law counsel experienced in such matters, to the effect that such sale or transfer will not result in a violation of the Credit Risk Retention Rules or that the Credit Risk Retention Rules no longer apply to such sale or transfer.

In connection with any sale or transfer pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Share Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless, in addition to a Purchaser Certificate, it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (x) a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, which certificate must be countersigned by the Securitization Sponsor and (y) a certificate from the Holder desiring to effect such sale or transfer, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, which certificate must be countersigned by the Securitization Sponsor. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications or opinion, as applicable, the Preferred Share Registrar and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall, subject to Section 2.4 and the other provisions of this Section 2.5, reflect all or any such portion of the EHRI in the name of the prospective transferee.

Any purported transfer or exchange in violation of the foregoing requirements shall be null and void ab initio.

(b) No Preferred Shares may be offered, sold, delivered or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) except to (i)(A) a non-U.S. Person in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S or (B) both (x)(I) a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (II) a person (other than any rating organization rating the Issuer’s securities) involved in the organization or operation of the Issuer or an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such a person, and (y) a Qualified Purchaser and (ii) in accordance with any other applicable law.

(c) No Preferred Shares may be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. Persons except in accordance with Rule 144A or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to Persons that are Qualified Purchasers and are (i) purchasing for their own account or for the accounts of one or more Qualified Institutional Buyers or (ii) a person (other than any rating organization rating the Issuer’s securities) involved in the organization or operation of the Issuer or an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such a person, for which the purchaser is acting as a fiduciary or agent. Preferred Shares may be sold or resold, as the case may be, in offshore transactions to non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S. None of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar or any other Person may register the Preferred Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction.

Beneficial interests in Preferred Shares may not at any time be acquired or held by or on behalf of a Benefit Plan Investor.

No transfer of Preferred Shares or any interest therein shall be effective, and the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent will not recognize any such transfer, if the transferee’s acquisition, holding or disposition of such interest constitutes or shall constitute or otherwise result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a plan subject to Similar Law, a violation of Similar Law) unless an exemption is available (all of the conditions of which have been satisfied) or any other violation of an applicable requirement of ERISA, the Code or other applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Share Registrar shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, applicable Similar Law or the Investment Company Act; provided, that if a Purchaser Certificate is specifically required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the terms of this Agreement and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such Purchaser Certificate does not comply with such terms.

(e) Transfers and exchanges of Preferred Share Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 2.5(e). Any purported transfer or exchange in violation of the following requirements shall be null and void ab initio, the Issuer shall not execute and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall not deliver Preferred Share Certificates with respect to the transfer or exchange, and the Preferred Share Registrar shall not register any such purported transfer or exchange.

(i) Transfer – Preferred Share Certificate to Preferred Share Certificate.

Upon receipt by the Preferred Share Paying Agent of:

(B) a Purchaser Certificate;

The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall record the exchange on the duplicate share register, and the Preferred Share Registrar shall, upon receipt of all required transfer documents, record the transfer in the Preferred Share Register.

(ii) Exchange – Preferred Share Certificate to Preferred Share Certificate. If a Holder of a Preferred Share Certificate wishes at any time to exchange such Preferred Share Certificate for one or more Preferred Share Certificates, such Holder may exchange or cause such exchange for an equivalent interest in one or more Preferred Share Certificates (in Authorized Denominations), but only upon delivery of the documents set forth in the following sentence. Upon receipt by the Preferred Share Paying Agent of:

(A) the Preferred Share Certificates properly endorsed for exchange; and

(B) a Purchaser Certificate;

the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall cancel such Preferred Share Certificates, authenticate such new Preferred Share Certificate and arrange for new Preferred Share Certificates to be executed by the Issuer and, upon the Preferred Share Paying Agent’s receipt of such executed Preferred Share Certificates, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall deliver one or more Preferred Share Certificates, registered in the names and numbers specified in the Purchaser Certificate (the aggregate number of Preferred Shares being equal to the number of Preferred Shares delivered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent) and in Authorized Denominations. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall record the exchange on the duplicate share register and the Preferred Share Registrar shall record the exchange in the Preferred Share Register.

(f) Preferred Share Certificates shall bear a legend substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A unless there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer to the effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A under, Section 4(a)(2) of, or Regulation S under, the Securities Act, as applicable, and to ensure that neither the Issuer nor the pool of Collateral becomes an investment company required to be registered under the Investment Company Act. Preferred Share Certificates that are delivered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent by or on behalf of the Issuer without such legend shall be conclusive evidence that the Issuer has satisfied any conditions precedent, and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether such legend is required. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall not be required to make any representation or warranty to the validity of any Preferred Share, except to the extent of its own signature thereon. Upon direction of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall deliver Preferred Share Certificates that do not bear such applicable legend.

 

-13-


(g) The Preferred Share Registrar may rely conclusively on any directions given by the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement without further review, to effect the transfer of Preferred Shares by making all necessary entries in the Preferred Share Register and shall have no liability for acting in reliance on any such directions.

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at all times, if a transfer of all or any portion of the EHRI after the Closing Date is to be made, then the Preferred Share Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) (i) a certification from such Holder’s prospective transferee and (ii) a certification from the Holder of the EHRI desiring to effect such transfer, each, in form and substance acceptable to the Securitization Sponsor. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications, the Preferred Share Registrar shall, subject to this Section 2.5, reflect such EHRI in the name of the prospective transferee.

Section 2.6. Reserved.

Section 2.7. Non-Permitted Holders.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any transfer of a beneficial interest in Preferred Shares to a Non-Permitted Holder shall be null and void ab initio and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent for all purposes at any time after either of them learns that any Person is or has become a Non-Permitted Holder.

(b) If any Non-Permitted Holder becomes the beneficial owner of Preferred Shares, the Issuer shall, promptly after discovery of any such Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent (and notice by the Preferred Share Paying Agent to the Issuer, if the Preferred Share Paying Agent makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its Preferred Shares or interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Preferred Shares or interest, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Preferred Shares or interest in Preferred Shares to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may retain an investment bank to act on the Issuer’s behalf or request one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Preferred Shares, and the Issuer will sell such Preferred Shares or interest to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. Each Holder of Preferred Shares, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Preferred Shares, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this subsection shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, Preferred Share Registrar or the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Preferred Shares sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

 

-14-


Section 2.8. Certain Tax Matters.

(a) The Issuer, and each Holder by acceptance of such Preferred Shares, each agree, where permitted by applicable law and unless the Issuer is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, to treat such Preferred Shares as an equity interest in the Issuer for U.S. federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes.

(b) The Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent agree that they do not intend for this Agreement to represent an agreement to enter into a partnership, a joint venture or any other business entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall not represent or otherwise hold themselves out to the IRS or other third parties as partners in a partnership or members of a joint venture or other business entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) The Issuer shall not elect to be treated as a partnership and neither the Issuer nor the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall file or cause to be filed any U.S. federal, State or local partnership tax return with respect to this Agreement.

(d) The Issuer shall take all actions necessary or advisable to allow the Issuer to comply with FATCA, including, appointing any agent or representative to perform due diligence, withholding or reporting obligations of the Issuer pursuant to FATCA. The Issuer shall provide any certification or documentation (including the applicable IRS Form W-9 (or if required, the applicable IRS Form W-8) or any successor form) to any payor (as defined in FATCA) from time to time as provided by law to minimize U.S. withholding tax under FATCA.

(e) Upon written request, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall provide to the Issuer or any agent thereof any information specified by such parties regarding the Holders and payments on the Preferred Shares that is reasonably available to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, and may be necessary for compliance with FATCA, subject in all cases to confidentiality provisions.

Section 2.9. Provisions of the Indenture and Servicing Agreement.

Each Holder of the Preferred Shares, by its acceptance of the Preferred Shares issued hereunder, agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Indenture and Servicing Agreement relating to the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may, without the consent of any party other than any Holder of Preferred Shares affected thereby, reorganize the Preferred Shares with different or additional classes or components so long as the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares and their aggregate entitlement to dividends and distributions is not increased, and the Issuer may amend its organizational documents to effect such reorganization of Preferred Shares.

In addition, the Issuer or any of its agents shall require, as a condition to payment without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax under FATCA, (i) complete and accurate information and documentation that may be required to enable the Issuer or any of its agents to comply with FATCA and (ii) each Holder to agree that the Issuer and/or any of its agents may (1) provide such information and documentation and any other information concerning its investment in the Preferred Shares to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority (including a properly completed and executed “Entity Self-Certification Form” or “Individual Self-Certification Form” (in the forms published by the Cayman Islands Department for International Tax Cooperation, which forms can be obtained at https://www.ditc.ky/crs/crs-legislation-resources/))), the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take any other actions necessary for the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to comply with FATCA or necessary to provide to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority pursuant to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority Act (As Revised) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information – Common Reporting Standard (each as amended) (including any implementing legislation, rules, regulations and guidance notes with respect to such laws).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, distributions of Available Funds on any Payment Date (including any Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity Date), shall be subject to the Issuer being solvent under Cayman Islands law (defined as the Issuer being able to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, such payment as determined by the Issuer.

Any amounts so retained will be held in the Preferred Share Distribution Account until such amounts are paid, subject to the availability of such funds under Cayman Islands law to pay any liability of the Issuer. In the absence of such notification from the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent may conclusively assume that the condition set forth in subsection (c) has been satisfied and shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement.

(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any funds deposited with the Preferred Share Paying Agent and held in the Preferred Share Distribution Account or otherwise held for payment on the Preferred Shares and remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer; and the Holder of such Preferred Shares shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Preferred Share Paying Agent with respect to such funds (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) shall thereupon cease. The Preferred Share Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ at the expense of the Issuer any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, arranging with the Preferred Share Registrar for the Preferred Share Registrar to mail notice of such release to Holders whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Issuer or Preferred Share Paying Agent, as applicable, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

If required to prevent the withholding or imposition of United States income tax, (i) the Issuer and each beneficial owner shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or successor applicable form, and (ii) the Issuer, with respect to (as applicable) an item included in the Collateral, shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E to each issuer, counterparty or Preferred Share Paying Agent at the time such item included in the Collateral is purchased or entered into (or if such item is held at the time that the Issuer ceases to be a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, at that time) and thereafter prior to the expiration or obsolescence of such form.

Additionally, any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule I that are not defined in Regulation S shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement, and if not defined therein, in the Indenture.

1.

(a) The Holder is aware that the sale of such Preferred Shares to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S and understands that the Preferred Shares offered in reliance on Regulation S will bear the appropriate legend set forth herein. The Preferred Shares so represented may not at any time be held by or on behalf of U.S. Persons or U.S. Residents. The Holder is not, and will not be, a U.S. Person or a U.S. Resident. Before any Preferred Share issued in reliance on Regulation S may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred, the transferee will be required to provide the Trustee with a written certification substantially in the form attached to the Subscription Agreement as to compliance with the transfer restrictions. The Holder understands that it must inform a prospective transferee of the transfer restrictions; or

(b) The Holder (1) is both (x)(i) a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (ii) a person (other than any rating organization rating the Issuer’s securities) involved in the organization or operation of the Issuer or an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such a person, and (y) a Qualified Purchaser; (2) is aware that the sale of the Preferred Shares to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A or Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (3) is acquiring the Preferred Shares for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and as to each of which the owner exercises sole investment discretion.

2. The Holder, and each account on behalf of which it is acquiring the Preferred Shares, represents and agrees that (a) it is not and will not be, and is not acting on behalf of or using any assets of any person that is or will become, an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or any other employee benefit plan which is subject to any federal, state, local or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” by reason of any such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity or otherwise or (b) it is, or is acting on behalf of or using any assets of, a plan or entity that is subject to Similar Law (and such plan is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or any entity considered to hold “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan or plan) and its acquisition, holding and disposition of the Preferred Shares do not and will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.


The representations to be made pursuant to this clause 2 shall be deemed made on each day from the date the Holder acquires the Preferred Shares through and including the date on which the Holder disposes of its interests in the Preferred Shares. The Holder understands and agrees that the information supplied above will be utilized to determine, among other things, whether upon the original issuance of such Preferred Shares, and upon any subsequent transfer of Preferred Shares, Benefit Plan Investors own any Preferred Shares.

3. The Holder understands that the Preferred Shares are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Preferred Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future the Holder decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Preferred Shares, such Preferred Shares may only be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles and the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement and the applicable legend on such Preferred Shares set forth herein. The Holder acknowledges that no representation is made by the Issuer or the Placement Agents as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or any State securities laws for resale of the Preferred Shares.

4. The Holder understands that the Preferred Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any other governmental authority or agency or any jurisdiction and that neither the SEC nor any other governmental authority or agency has passed upon the accuracy of the final offering memorandum relating to the Preferred Shares. The Holder further understands that any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

5. The Holder is not purchasing the Preferred Shares with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

The Holder understands that it must inform a prospective transferee of the transfer restrictions.

8. The Holder understands and agrees that a legend in substantially the following form will be placed on each certificate representing any Preferred Shares unless the Issuer determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law:

THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY CONSTITUTE AN ELIGIBLE HORIZONTAL RESIDUAL INTEREST FOR PURPOSES OF THE CREDIT RISK RETENTION RULES AND THEREFORE ARE SUBJECT TO THE ADDITIONAL TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY SECTION 2.5(a)(iii) OF THE PREFERRED SHARE PAYING AGENCY AGREEMENT AND THE CREDIT RISK RETENTION RULES, AND EACH HOLDER OF THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO COMPLY WITH SUCH ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS.

The Holder will, prior to any sale, pledge or other transfer by such owner of any Preferred Share, obtain from the prospective transferee, and deliver to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, a duly executed transferee certificate addressed to each of the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in the form of the relevant exhibit attached to the Subscription Agreement, and such other certificates and other information as the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Preferred Share Paying Agent may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer complies with the transfer restrictions contained in the Memorandum and Articles and the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement.

16. The Holder agrees that no Preferred Share may be purchased, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in a number less than the minimum number set forth in the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement. In addition, the Holder understands that the Preferred Shares will be transferable only upon registration of the transferee in the Preferred Share Register of the Issuer following delivery to the Preferred Share Registrar of a duly executed share transfer certificate, the Preferred Share to be transferred (if applicable) and any other certificates and other information required by the Memorandum and Articles and the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement.

 

Schedule I-7


17. The Holder is aware and agrees that no Preferred Share (or beneficial interest therein) may be offered or sold, pledged or otherwise transferred: (i) to a transferee taking delivery of such Preferred Shares represented by a certificate representing a Preferred Share, except to both (x)(A) a transferee that the Holder reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, purchasing for its account, to which notice is given that the resale, pledge or other transfer is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A or another person the sale to which is exempt under the Securities Act or (B) is a transferee that is a person (other than any rating organization rating the Issuer’s securities) involved in the organization or operation of the Issuer or an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such a person and (y) a Qualified Purchaser, and in each case, such transfer is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other relevant jurisdiction; (ii) to a transferee taking delivery of such Preferred Share represented by a certificate representing a Preferred Share issued in reliance on Regulation S except (x) to a transferee that is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, (y) to a transferee that is not a U.S. resident (within the meaning of the Investment Company Act) unless such transferee is a Qualified Purchaser; (z) such transfer is made in compliance with the other requirements set forth in the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement and (aa) if such transfer is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other jurisdiction; or (iii) if such transfer would have the effect of requiring the Issuer or the Collateral to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

18. The Holder understands that, although the Placement Agents may from time to time make a market in the Preferred Shares, the Placement Agents are not under any obligation to do so and, following the commencement of any market-making, may discontinue the same at any time. Accordingly, the Holder must be prepared to hold the Preferred Shares until the scheduled Redemption Date for the Preferred Shares.

19. The Holder also understands that the Preferred Shares are equity interests in the Issuer and are not secured by the Collateral securing the Offered Notes. As such, the Holder and any other Holders of the Preferred Shares will, on a winding up of the Issuer, rank behind all of the creditors, whether secured or unsecured and known or unknown, of the Issuer, including, without limitation, the Holders of the Notes and any judgment creditors. Payments in respect of the Preferred Shares are subject to certain requirements imposed by Cayman Islands law. Any amounts paid by the Preferred Share Paying Agent as distributions by way of dividend on the Preferred Shares will be payable only if the Issuer has sufficient distributable profits and/or share premium. In addition, such distributions and any redemption payments will be payable only to the extent that the Issuer is and remains solvent after such distributions or redemption payments are paid. Under Cayman Islands law, a company generally is deemed solvent if it is able to pay its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business. To the extent the requirements under Cayman Islands law described above are not met, amounts otherwise payable to the Holders of the Preferred Shares will be retained in the Preferred Share Distribution Account until the next succeeding Payment Date, or (in the case of any payment that would otherwise be payable on a redemption of the Preferred Shares) the next succeeding Business Day, on which the Issuer notifies the Preferred Share Paying Agent that such requirements are met. Amounts on deposit in the Preferred Share Distribution Account (unless deposited in error) will not be available to pay amounts due to the Holders of the Notes, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager or any other creditor of the Issuer the claim of which is limited in recourse to the Collateral. However, amounts on deposit in the Preferred Share Distribution Account may be subject to the claims of creditors of the Issuer that have not contractually limited their recourse to the Collateral.

 

Schedule I-8


20. The Holder agrees that (i) any sale, pledge or other transfer of a Preferred Share made in violation of the transfer restrictions contained in the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement, or made based upon any false or inaccurate representation made by the Holder or a transferee to the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent or the Preferred Share Registrar, will be void and of no force or effect and (ii) none of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Share Registrar has any obligation to recognize any sale, pledge or other transfer of a Preferred Share (or any beneficial interest therein) made in violation of any such transfer restriction or made based upon any such false or inaccurate representation.

21. The Holder approves and consents to any direct trades between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager and/or its affiliates that are permitted under the terms of the Indenture and the Collateral Management Agreement.

22. The Holder acknowledges that the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar, the Placement Agents and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements and agrees that, if any of the acknowledgments, representations or warranties made or deemed to have been made by it in connection with its purchase of the Preferred Shares are no longer accurate, the Holder will promptly notify the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar and the Placement Agents.

23. The Holder irrevocably (i) agrees that the Collateral Manager (or its successor or assignee) shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted by it or its agents in the performance of its obligations to determine whether a Benchmark Transaction Event has occurred, or the responsibility to propose a Benchmark Replacement, a Benchmark Replacement Date, a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or a Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change, as applicable, and (ii) releases the Collateral Manager (or its successor or assignee) from any claim or action whatsoever relating to its performance of such obligations.

24. The Holder:

(a) acknowledges that all personal data provided to the Issuer or its delegates (including, without limitation, the Company Administrator) by or on behalf of the transferee has been and will be provided in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, those relating to privacy or the use of personal data. The transferee shall ensure that any personal data that such transferee provides to the Issuer or its delegates (including, without limitation, the Company Administrator) is accurate and up to date, and the transferee shall notify the Issuer if such transferee becomes aware that any such data is no longer accurate or up to date; (b) acknowledges that the Issuer and/or its delegates may transfer and/or process personal data provided by the transferee outside of the Cayman Islands and the transferee hereby consents to such transfer and/or processing and further represents that it is duly authorized to provide this consent on behalf of any individual whose personal data is provided by the transferee; and

 

Schedule I-9


(c) acknowledges receipt of the Privacy Notice. The transferee shall promptly provide the Privacy Notice to (i) each individual whose personal data the transferee has provided or will provide to the Issuer or any of its delegates in connection with the transferee’s investment in the Preferred Shares (such as a directors, trustee, employees, representatives, shareholders, investors, clients, beneficial owners or agents) and (ii) any other individual connected to the transferee as may be requested by the Issuer or any of its delegates. The transferee shall also promptly provide to any such individual, on request by the Issuer or any of its delegates, any updated versions of the Privacy Notice and the privacy notice (or other data protection disclosures) of any third party to which the Issuer or any of its delegates has directly or indirectly provided that individual’s personal data.

The sale to the Issuer of such Subsequent Collateral Interests identified on the schedule attached to the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument shall be absolute and is intended by the Seller and the Issuer to constitute and to be treated as an absolute sale of such Subsequent Collateral Interests by the Seller to the Issuer, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others from the Seller to the Issuer, and no such Subsequent Collateral Interest shall be a part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the insolvency or the bankruptcy of the Seller. Each schedule attached to a Subsequent Transfer Instrument pursuant to a sale of one or more Subsequent Collateral Interests is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

(d) Within 45 days after the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Delayed Collateral Interests or Subsequent Collateral Interest, within 45 days of the applicable Transfer Date, as applicable), each UCC financing statement in favor of the Issuer with the definition of “Collateral Interest File”. In the event that any such UCC financing statement is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document for recording or filing, as appropriate, at the Seller’s expense. In the event that the Seller receives the original filed copy, the Seller shall, or shall cause a third party vendor or any other party under its control to, promptly upon receipt of the original recorded or filed copy (and in no event later than 5 Business Days following such receipt) deliver such original to the Custodian, with evidence of filing thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original mortgage, assignment of mortgage, assignment of leases and rents or assignment of assignment of leases and rents, if applicable, after any has been recorded, the obligations hereunder of the Seller shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Issuer (or the Custodian) of a copy of the recorded original of such Mortgage, assignment of mortgage, assignment of leases and rents or assignment of assignment of leases and rents.

(b) on each Transfer Date, as applicable, counsel for the Issuer shall have been furnished with all such documents, certificates and opinions as such counsel may reasonably request in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations, warranties or statements of the Seller, the performance of any of the Collateral Interests hereunder or the fulfillment of any of the conditions herein contained;

(e) with respect to the Closing Date Collateral Interests, each such Collateral Interest (after giving effect to the Grant of such Collateral Interest to the Issuer) is acquired in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture and the purchase price therefor is paid to the Seller.

4. Covenants, Representations and Warranties.

(a) Each party to this Agreement hereby represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it is duly organized or incorporated, as the case may be, and validly existing as an entity under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, chartered or organized, (ii) it has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and (iii) this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, has been duly executed by one or more duly authorized officers or directors and is the valid and binding agreement of such party enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

(b) The Seller further represents and warrants to the Issuer, with respect to each Collateral Interest, as of the respective Transfer Date, that:

(i) immediately prior to the sale of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer, the Seller shall own the Collateral Interests, shall have good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity, or encumbrance of any kind, and upon the delivery or transfer of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer as contemplated herein, the Issuer shall receive good and marketable title to the Collateral Interests, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance of any kind; (ii) the Seller acquired its ownership in the Collateral Interests in good faith without notice of any adverse claim, and upon the delivery or transfer of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer as contemplated herein, the Issuer shall acquire ownership in the Collateral Interests in good faith without notice of any adverse claim;

 

10


(iii) the Seller has not assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered any interest in the Collateral Interests (or, if any such interest has been assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered, it has been released);

(iv) none of the execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of this Agreement shall (x) conflict with, result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, any term or provision of the organizational documents of the Seller, or any material indenture, agreement, order, decree or other material instrument to which the Seller is party or by which the Seller is bound which materially adversely affects the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or (y) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties which has a material adverse effect upon the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

(v) no consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or qualification with, any governmental body, agency or authority, nor any consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor or lessor is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement the failure of which to obtain would have a material adverse effect except such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect;

(vi) it has adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. It is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due. It has not become or is not presently, financially insolvent nor will it be made insolvent by virtue of its execution of or performance under any of the provisions of this Agreement within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the insolvency laws of any jurisdiction. It has not entered into this Agreement or the transactions effectuated hereby in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor;

(vii) no proceedings are pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it before any federal, state or other governmental agency, authority, administrative or regulatory body, arbitrator, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, which, singularly or in the aggregate, could materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(viii) the consideration received by it upon the sale of the Collateral Interests owned by it constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value for such Collateral Interests.

 

11


(c) The Seller further represents and warrants to the Issuer, with respect to each Collateral Interest, as of the respective Transfer Date, that:

(i) the Loan Documents with respect to each Collateral Interest do not prohibit the Issuer from granting a security interest in and assigning and pledging such Collateral Interest to the Trustee;

(ii) none of the Collateral Interests will cause the Issuer to have payments subject to foreign or United States withholding tax;

(iii) the transfer of the Collateral Interests will be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale and/or contribution of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer and not as a financing. The Issuer agrees that the transfer to the Issuer of the Collateral Interests shall be reflected on the Issuer’s balance sheet and other financial statements as the purchase and/or acquisition of such Collateral Interests by the Issuer from the Seller and not as a loan to the Issuer from Seller. The Seller is not selling the Collateral Interests and the Co-Issuers are not selling the Offered Notes with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the creditors of the Co-Issuers;

(iv) with respect to each of the Closing Date Collateral Interests, except as set forth in the Exception Schedule, and with respect to any Delayed Collateral Interests or Subsequent Collateral Interests acquired after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, except as set forth in the applicable Subsequent Transfer Instrument, the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit B are true and correct in all material respects; and

(v) the Seller has delivered to the Issuer or its designee the documents required to be delivered with respect to each Collateral Interest set forth in the definition of “Collateral Interest File” in the Indenture.

(d) For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B, the phrases “to the Seller’s knowledge” or “the Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual state of knowledge or belief of the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein. All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Collateral Interest File shall be deemed to be within the knowledge and the actual knowledge of the Seller. Wherever there is a reference to receipt by, or possession of, the Seller of any information or documents, or to any action taken by the Seller or not taken by the Seller, such reference shall include the receipt or possession of such information or documents by, or the taking of such action or the failure to take such action by, the Seller or any servicer acting on its behalf.

 

12


(e) The Seller shall, not later than ninety (90) days from discovery by the Seller or receipt of written notice from any party to the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement of (i) its breach of a representation or a warranty pursuant to this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the ownership interests of the Issuer (or the Trustee as its assignee) in a Collateral Interest or the value of a Collateral Interest or the interests of the Noteholders therein (a “Material Breach”), or (ii) any Material Document Defect relating to any Collateral Interest, (A) cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, provided, that if such Material Breach or Material Document Defect cannot be cured within such 90-day period (any such 90-day period, the “Initial Resolution Period”), the Seller shall not later than the end of such Initial Resolution Period, either (1) repurchase the affected Collateral Interest at the Par Purchase Price or (2) substitute the affected Collateral Interest for either (I) a Substitute Collateral Interest or (II) a combination of a Substitute Collateral Interest and cash; provided that the sum of (x) the Par Purchase Price of such Substitute Collateral Interest, plus (y) the cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer in connection with such substitution, shall be equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price of such affected Collateral Interest; provided, further, however, that if the Seller certifies to the Issuer and the Trustee in writing that (x) any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, is capable of being cured in all material respects but not within the Initial Resolution Period and (y) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, then the Seller shall have an additional 90-day period to complete such cure or, failing such, to repurchase or substitute the affected Collateral Interest (or the related Mortgaged Property); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Document Defect is still not cured in all material respects after the Initial Resolution Period and any such additional 90-day period solely due to the failure of the Seller to have received the recorded or filed document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Document Defect until eighteen (18) months after the related Transfer Date for so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee every thirty (30) days thereafter that such Material Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded or filed document and that the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Document Defect (specifying the actions being taken); (B) make a cash payment to the Issuer (which cash payment must be paid to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account) in an amount that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer determines is sufficient to compensate the Issuer for such Material Document Defect or Material Breach (such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”), which Loss of Value Payment shall be deemed to cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect. In addition, with respect to any Combined Loan, if the Mortgage Loan portion thereof is repaid in full, but the Mezzanine Loan portion thereof remains outstanding (a “Combined Loan Repurchase Event”), the Seller shall be required to repurchase such Collateral Interest from the Issuer at the Par Purchase Price. Such repurchase, substitution, cure or Loss of Value Payment obligation by the Seller and Holdco’s guarantee of such obligations pursuant to Section 13 shall be the Issuer’s sole remedy for any Material Breach, Material Document Defect or Combined Loan Repurchase Event pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Collateral Interest sold to the Issuer by the Seller. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and any representations and warranties made in any Subsequent Transfer Instrument are being made for risk allocation purposes.

(f) The Seller hereby acknowledges and consents to the collateral assignment by the Issuer of this Agreement and all right, title and interest thereto to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as required in Sections 15.1(f)(i) and (ii) of the Indenture.

(g) The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall perform any provisions of the Indenture made expressly applicable to the Seller by the Indenture, as required by Section 15.1(f)(i) of the Indenture.

(h) The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that all of the representations, covenants and agreements made by or otherwise entered into by it in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as required by Section 15.1(f)(ii) of the Indenture and agrees that enforcement of any rights hereunder by the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or executed by the Issuer but that such rights and remedies shall not be any greater than the rights and remedies of the Issuer under Section 4(e) above.

 

13


(i) On or prior to the applicable Transfer Date, the Seller shall deliver the Loan Documents to the Issuer or, at the direction of the Issuer, to the Custodian, with respect to each Collateral Interest sold to the Issuer hereunder. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees, as required by Section 15.1(f)(iii) of the Indenture, that it shall deliver to the Trustee duplicate original copies of all notices, statements, communications and instruments delivered or required to be delivered to the Issuer by each party pursuant to this Agreement.

(j) Each Seller Party hereby covenants and agrees, as required by Section 15.1(f)(iv) of the Indenture, that it shall not enter into any agreement amending, modifying or terminating this Agreement (other than in respect of an amendment or modification to cure any inconsistency, ambiguity or manifest error, in each case, so long as such amendment or modification does not affect in any material respects the interests of any Secured Party), without notifying the Rating Agencies through the 17g-5 Website as set forth in the Indenture.

(k) Sub-REIT and the Issuer hereby covenant, that at all times (1) Sub-REIT will qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Issuer will qualify as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of Sub-REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (2) based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT other than Sub-REIT, or (3) based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes (which opinion may be conditioned on compliance with certain restrictions on the investment or other activities of the Issuer and the Servicer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer).

(l) Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from an accounting firm engaged to provide procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Collateral Interests to information on a data tape relating to the Collateral Interests (the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and the Offering Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offering Memorandum. The Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(l).

(m) The Issuer covenants and warrants to the Seller that it (i) prepared or caused to be prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”) containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting all other requirements of Form 15G and Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act, any other rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Exchange Act; (ii) provided a copy of the final draft of the Form 15G to the Placement Agents at least six Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Memorandum; and (iii) furnished each Form 15G to the Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR at least five Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Memorandum as required by Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act.

5. Sale.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that the transfers and assignments contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Collateral Interests and the Initial Interest Reserve Deposit Amount from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Collateral Interests shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is held not to be a sale (for non-tax purposes), this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and, in such event, the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Issuer a security interest in the Collateral Interests and the Initial Interest Reserve Deposit Amount and all payments thereon or with respect thereto, in each case, other than the Retained Interest, if any, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and its assignees as security for the Seller’s obligations hereunder and the Seller consents to the pledge of the Collateral Interests and the Initial Interest Reserve Deposit Amount to the Trustee.

6. Non-Petition.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller agrees not to institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws in any jurisdiction until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect after the payment in full of all Notes issued under the Indenture. This Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

7. Amendments.

This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement by the parties hereto and satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

9. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

(b) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any court in the State of New York located in the City and County of New York, and any appellate court hearing appeals from the Courts mentioned above, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it and to or in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard or determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in any inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that the subject matter thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not seek and hereby waive the right to any review of the judgment of any such court by any court of any other nation or jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of such judgment.

 

17


(d) The Issuer irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company as its agent for service of process in New York in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer agrees that service of such process upon such agent shall constitute personal service of such process upon it.

(e) The Seller irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing by certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivery requiring proof of delivery of copies of such process to it at the address set forth in Section 8 hereof.

10. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party (and any respective successors and permitted assigns thereof) when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of such party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case, to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

11. Limited Recourse Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all obligations of the Issuer arising hereunder or in connection herewith are limited in recourse to the Collateral and to the extent the proceeds of the Collateral, when applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments, are insufficient to meet the obligations of the Issuer hereunder in full, the Issuer shall have no further liability in respect of any such outstanding obligations and any obligations of, and all remaining claims against, the Issuer, arising hereunder or in connection herewith, shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. The obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in connection herewith will be solely the corporate obligations of the Issuer and the Seller will not have recourse to any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders or affiliates of the Issuer with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby or in connection herewith. This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

 

18


12. Assignment and Assumption.

With respect to the Collateral Interests that are subject to a Participation Agreement, the parties hereto intend that the provisions of this Section 12 serve as an assignment and assumption agreement between the Seller, as the assignor, and the Issuer, as the assignee. Accordingly, the Seller hereby (and in accordance with and subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement) assigns, grants, sells, transfers, delivers, sets over, and conveys to the Issuer all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and arising out of the related Participation Agreement, and the Issuer hereby accepts (subject to applicable provisions of this Agreement) the foregoing assignment and assumes all of the rights and obligations of the Seller with respect to related Participation Agreement from and after the Closing Date. In addition, the Issuer acknowledges that each of such Collateral Interests will be serviced by, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement (as defined in the related Participation Agreement).

13. Guarantee by Holdco.

(a) Holdco hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Issuer the due and punctual payment of all sums due by, and the performance of all obligations of, the Seller under Section 4(e) of this Agreement, as and when the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) according to the terms hereof. In the case of the failure of the Seller to make any such payment or perform such obligation as and when due, Holdco hereby agrees to make such payment or cause such payment or perform such obligation to be made or such obligation to be performed, promptly upon written demand by the Issuer to Holdco, but any delay in providing such notice shall not under any circumstances reduce the liability of Holdco or operate as a waiver of Issuer’s right to demand payment or performance.

(b) This guarantee shall be a guaranty of payment and performance, and the obligations of Holdco under this guarantee shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional. Holdco waives any and all defenses it may have arising out of: (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same; (iii) the rendering of any judgment against the Seller or any action to enforce the same; (iv) any waiver or consent by the Issuer or any amendment or other modification to this Agreement; (v) any defense to payment hereunder based upon suretyship defenses; (vi) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller, (vii) any defense based on (1) the entity status of the Seller, (2) the power and authority of the Seller to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder or (3) the legality, validity and enforceability of the Seller’s obligation under this Agreement, or (viii) any other defense, circumstances or limitation of any nature whatsoever that would constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or other third party obligor. This guarantee shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the renewal, extension, modification, or waiver, in whole or in part, of any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the Indenture that are subject to this guarantee.

(c) Holdco waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices and demands relating to this Agreement and (ii) any requirement that the Issuer proceed first against the Seller under this Agreement or otherwise exhaust any right, power or remedy under this Agreement before proceeding hereunder.

Exhibit A-1


EXHIBIT B

COLLATERAL INTEREST REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

A. Representations and Warranties Concerning Collateral Interests. With respect to each Collateral Interest:

 

(1)

Ownership of Collateral Interest. On the applicable Transfer Date, no Collateral Interest was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation (other than with respect to a Participation) or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Collateral Interest free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to a Participation), any other ownership interests on, in or to such Collateral Interest other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Collateral Interest, and the assignment to the Issuer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Collateral Interest free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Collateral Interest.

 

(2)

Collateral Interest Schedule. The information pertaining to each Collateral Interest which is set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Transfer Date and contains all information required by the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement to be contained therein.

B. Representations and Warranties Concerning Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Loan:

 

(1)

Whole Loan. Each Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a loan.

 

(2)

Loan Documents Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one action, or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar 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) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or

 

Exhibit B-1


  right of rescission available to the related borrower with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by the Seller in connection with the origination of the Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Loan Documents.

 

(3)

Mortgage Provisions. The Loan Documents for each Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

 

(4)

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Collateral Interest File or as otherwise provided in the related Loan Documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Loan guaranty, Partition Agreement, if applicable, and related Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Loan; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related borrower nor the related guarantor nor the related participating institution has been released from its material obligations under the Loan or Participation, if applicable. With respect to each Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Collateral Interest File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Loan consented to by the Seller on or after the Representation Date.

 

(5)

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to the Issuer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Issuer. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits is freely assignable without the consent of the related borrower. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related borrower’s fee or leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Loan or Allocated Loan Amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth in Schedule 1(a) to this Exhibit B (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Representation Date, to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights

 

Exhibit B-2


  exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

(6)

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Loan (or with respect to a Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy or appearing of record; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Loan (each a “Crossed Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for another Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Loan, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the borrower’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

 

(7)

Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Representation Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Other than any Mezzanine Loan that is part of a Combined Loan, the Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related borrower, except as set forth in Schedule 1(b).

 

Exhibit B-3


(8)

Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. There exists as part of the related Collateral Interest File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

 

(9)

UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such borrower and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

 

(10)

Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Representation Date. An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Representation Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Loan.

 

Exhibit B-4


(11)

Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes, governmental assessments and other similar outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Representation Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof will not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

 

(12)

Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Representation Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Representation Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(13)

Actions Concerning Loan. To the Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 6), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 10, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 24, reasonable and customary bankruptcy, civil records, UCC-1, and judgment searches of the borrowers and guarantors, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 40), on and as of the date of origination and as of the Representation Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, involving any borrower, guarantor, or borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such borrower’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such borrower’s ability to perform under the related Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Loan Documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(14)

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Issuer or its servicer.

 

(15)

No Holdbacks. The Principal Balance as of the Representation Date of the Collateral Interest set forth on the on Exhibit A to this Agreement has been fully disbursed as of the Representation Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder except in those cases where the (1) full amount of the Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the borrower or other considerations determined by the Seller to merit such holdback or (2) the Collateral Interest is a Participation with a Future Funding Participation that evidences a future funding obligation.

 

Exhibit B-5


(16)

Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original Principal Balance of the Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the borrower and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property. Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Loan Document, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than twelve (12) months (or with respect to each Loan on a single asset with a Principal Balance of $50 million or more, eighteen (18) months). If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related borrower is required to maintain insurance in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan and (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program. If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related borrower is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms. The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Loan Document, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VII”

 

Exhibit B-6


  by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P, in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable. The Loan Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Loan, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the reduction of the outstanding Principal Balance of such Loan together with any accrued interest thereon. All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee. Each related Loan obligates the related borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at such borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the borrower’s cost and expense and to charge such borrower for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than ten (10) days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Seller.

 

(17)

Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Loan requires the borrower to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created or the non-recourse carveout guarantor under the Loan has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith.

 

(18)

No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and

 

Exhibit B-7


  adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements have been obtained under the Title Policy.

 

(19)

No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Seller.

 

(20)

[Intentionally left blank.]

 

(21)

Compliance with Usury Laws. The Interest Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, exit fees, or prepayment premiums) of such Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

 

(22)

Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Representation Date and as of each date that the Seller held the Mortgage Note, the Seller was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Loan by the Issuer.

 

(23)

Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Representation Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee.

 

(24)

Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial, multi-family and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Loan as of the date of origination of such Loan and as of the Cut-off Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the Loan. The terms of the Loan Documents require the borrower to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

Exhibit B-8


(25)

Licenses and Permits. Each borrower covenants in the Loan Documents that it will keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial, multi-family and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Loan requires the related borrower to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

 

(26)

Recourse Obligations. The Loan Documents for each Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that (a) the related borrower and at least one individual or entity will be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related borrower and/or its principals specified in the related Loan Document, which acts generally include (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misappropriation of rents (following an Event of Default), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property, and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Loan Document, and (b) the Loan will become full recourse to the related borrower and at least one individual or entity, if the related borrower files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

 

(27)

Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Loan Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related Allocated Loan Amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Loan, (c) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (d) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation.

 

(28)

Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Loan Documents for each Loan require the borrower to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly or monthly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly or monthly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements with respect to each Loan with more than one borrower are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the borrower entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

 

Exhibit B-9


(29)

Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and further amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Loan, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Representation Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Loan, the related Loan Documents generally only require that the related borrower take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain insurance against damage resulting from acts of terrorism unless lack of such insurance will result in a downgrade of the ratings of the related Loan. With respect to each Loan, the related Loan Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated in Schedule 1(a); provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the borrower under each Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the borrower will not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at such time, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

 

(30)

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the Principal Balance of such Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Loan Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Loan Document), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related borrower, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Loan Document, (iii) transfers that do not result in a change of Control of the related borrower or transfers of passive interests so long as the guarantor retains Control, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the borrower, a specific Person

(31)

Single-Purpose Entity. Each Loan requires the borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Loan is outstanding. Both the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of the borrower with respect to each Loan with a Principal Balance as of the Representation Date in excess of $5 million provide that the borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Loan with a Principal Balance as of the Representation Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the borrower. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” will mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Loan has a Principal Balance as of the Representation Date equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Loan Document) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Loan Document, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Loan Document, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a borrower for a Crossed Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

(32)

[Intentionally left blank.]

 

(33)

Interest Rates. Each Loan, bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on the Benchmark plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate); provided however, that the interest rate can be based on an alternative rate index, as described in the related Loan Document, instead of the Benchmark, under certain circumstances.

 

(34)

Ground Leases. For purposes of the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement, a “Ground Lease” means a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor or sub ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

 

Exhibit B-11


With respect to any Loan where the Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Seller, its successors and assigns, the Seller represents and warrants that:

 

  (a)

The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

 

  (b)

The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Collateral Interest File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender (except termination or cancellation if (i) notice of a default under the Ground Lease is provided to lender and (ii) such default is curable by lender as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period), and no such consent has been granted by the Seller since the origination of the Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Collateral Interest File;

 

  (c)

The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Loan, or ten (10) years past the stated maturity if such Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

 

  (d)

The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;

 

  (e)

The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

 

Exhibit B-12


  (f)

The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

 

  (g)

The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

 

  (h)

A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

 

  (i)

The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

 

  (j)

Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Loan Document) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, together with any accrued interest;

 

  (k)

In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

 

  (l)

Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

 

Exhibit B-13

(36)

Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.

To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Loan or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in Schedule 1(a) to this Exhibit B. No person other than the holder of such Loan (subject to any related Partition Agreement, if applicable) may declare any event of default under the Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Loan Documents.

 

(38)

Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Loan has a borrower that is an Affiliate of another borrower. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (39) means, a borrower that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another borrower.)

 

(40)

Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized

 

Exhibit B-14


  environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (a) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related borrower and is held or controlled by the related lender; (b) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related borrower that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (c) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the Representation Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (d) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (e) a party not related to the borrower was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (f) a party related to the borrower having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

 

(41)

The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Representation Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is either a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Loan.

Neither the Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any borrower under a Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Representation Date.

Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Loan.

C. Representations and Warranties Concerning Mezzanine Loans. With respect to each Mezzanine Loan:

 

(1)

Whole Loan. Each Mezzanine Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a loan.

 

(2)

Loan Documents Status. Each related mezzanine note, pledge agreement, guaranty and any other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related mezzanine borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mezzanine Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related mezzanine borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one action, or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except the Standard Qualifications.

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related mezzanine borrower with respect to any of the related note or other Mezzanine Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mezzanine Loan, that would deny the mezzanine lender the principal benefits intended to be provided by the note or other Mezzanine Loan documents.

 

(3)

Pledged Equity. The Mezzanine Loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the direct or indirect equity interests the entity or entities that own the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties.

 

(4)

Pledge Provisions. The Mezzanine Loan documents for each Mezzanine Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the pledged equity interests of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by UCC foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

 

Exhibit B-16


(5)

Loan Documents Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Collateral Interest File or as otherwise provided in the related Mezzanine Loan documents (a) the material terms of the related Mezzanine Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mezzanine Loan; (b) no pledged equity has been released from the lien of the related pledge agreement in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such pledge agreement; and (c) neither the related mezzanine borrower nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mezzanine Loan.

(6)

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mezzanine Loan and agreements executed in connection therewith to the Issuer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Issuer. Each Mezzanine Loan is freely assignable without the consent of the related borrower. The pledge of the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan creates a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest in such collateral, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

(7)

UCC 9 Policies.

(10)

Insurance Proceeds. The Mezzanine Loan documents require that all insurance policies procured by the Mortgage Loan borrower with respect to the property under the related Loan Documents name the mezzanine lender, the related mezzanine borrower and their respective successors and assigns as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear.

 

Exhibit B-17


(11)

To the Seller’s knowledge, based on judgment searches of the mezzanine borrowers and guarantors, on and as of the date of origination and as of the Representation Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, involving any mezzanine borrower an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) the validity or enforceability of the Mezzanine Loan, (b) such mezzanine borrower’s ability to perform under the Mezzanine Loan, (c) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty or (d) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mezzanine Loan documents.

 

(12)

All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Mezzanine Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Mezzanine Loan documents are being conveyed by the Seller to Issuer or its servicer.

 

(13)

No Holdbacks. The Principal Balance as of the Representation Date of the Mezzanine Loan set forth on the on Exhibit A to this Agreement has been fully disbursed as of the Representation Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder except in those cases where the (i) full amount of the Mezzanine Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the borrower or other considerations determined by the Seller to merit such holdback or (ii) the Collateral Interest is a Participation in a Mezzanine Loan in which a Future Funding Participation evidences a future funding obligation.

 

(14)

No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mezzanine Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Seller.

 

(15)

Compliance with Usury Laws. The Interest Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, exit fees, or prepayment premiums) of such Mezzanine Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

 

(16)

Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mezzanine Loan requires the mezzanine borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mezzanine Loan is outstanding. Both the Mezzanine Loan documents and the organizational documents of the borrower with respect to each Mezzanine Loan with a Principal Balance as of the Representation Date in excess of $5 million provide that the borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mezzanine Loan with a Principal Balance as of the Representation Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the borrower. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” means an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mezzanine Loan has a Principal Balance as of the Representation Date equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mezzanine Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning the equity collateral securing the Mezzanine Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to its ownership of the equity collateral, and whose organizational

 

Exhibit B-18


  documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mezzanine Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to the equity collateral securing the Mezzanine Loans, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mezzanine Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

(17)

Interest Rates. Each Mezzanine Loan, bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on the Benchmark plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate), provided however, that the interest rate can be based on an alternative rate index, as described in the related Loan Document, instead of the Benchmark, under certain circumstances.

 

(18)

Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mezzanine Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community loans.

 

(19)

Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mezzanine Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mezzanine Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mezzanine Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit B.

 

(20)

No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mezzanine Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Representation Date, no Mezzanine Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Representation Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mezzanine Loan or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mezzanine Loan, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in Schedule 1(a). No person other than the holder of such Mezzanine Loan (subject to the related Partition Agreement) may declare any event of default under the Mezzanine Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mezzanine Loan documents.

 

(21)

Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mezzanine Loan and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Representation Date, no mezzanine borrower is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

 

Exhibit B-19

With respect to each Mezzanine Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the borrower delivered by the borrower in connection with the origination of such Mezzanine Loan, the borrower is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

 

(23)

Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by the Seller to the related borrower other than in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan documents, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related mezzanine borrower or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mezzanine Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mezzanine Loan documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Loan Document). Neither the Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any borrower under a Mezzanine Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Representation Date.

 

(24)

Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mezzanine Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Mezzanine Loan.

   Hyatt Lost Pines    The related Mortgage Loan documents require that the related Mortgaged Property is insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage in an amount equal to the full insurance value on a replacement cost basis of the Mortgaged Property (not the lesser of the foregoing and the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan).

(B)(40) (Environmental Conditions)    BLP 2 Industrial Portfolio   

With respect to the “BLP – 222 Morgan” Mortgaged Property, according to the Phase I environmental site assessment dated November 20, 2024, the environmental consultant identified four recognized environmental conditions (each a “REC”), at least one of which requires remediation; however, amounts sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure such RECs have not been escrowed by the related borrower. The first REC is related to an in-ground oil/water separator located at the related Mortgaged Property. The second REC is due to the related Mortgaged Property having been impacted by off-site volatile organic compound groundwater plumes migrating onto the property from upgradient properties. The third REC relates to previous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds and metals contamination. The fourth REC relates to scrap metal recycling facilities having been previously located at the related Mortgaged Property. The environmental consultant recommended that the related borrower sponsor (1) with respect to the second and fourth RECs, comply with on-going monitoring, which is also an obligation under the related Loan Documents, but the related borrower sponsor is not required to remediate and (2) with respect to the third REC, conduct proposed seawall repairs, which is also an obligation under the related Loan Documents.

 

With respect to the “BLP – 333 N Henry” Mortgaged Property, according to the Phase I environmental site assessment dated September 4, 2024, the environmental consultant identified a REC relating to historical oil refining activities conducted at the related Mortgaged Property. The environmental consultant recommended that a potential vapor encroachment should be ruled out by re-performing a vapor intrusion investigation, which is also an obligation under the related Loan Documents.

(r) subject to and in accordance with the Indenture and this Agreement, in its capacity as the Collateral Manager, directing the Issuer to establish a Permitted Subsidiary, which Permitted Subsidiary may acquire, retain, sell or otherwise dispose of (including as a contribution) any Sensitive Asset in accordance with the Indenture and this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Special Servicer in connection with the formation of any REO Subsidiary pursuant to the Servicing Agreement;

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Manager as the Issuer’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and full authority in the Issuer’s name, place and stead and without any necessary further approval of the Issuer, in connection with the performance of the Collateral Manager’s duties provided for in this Agreement, including the following powers: (i) to buy, sell, exchange, and convert Collateral Interests (including Subsequent Collateral Interests) and Eligible Investments, and (ii) to execute and deliver all necessary and appropriate documents and instruments on behalf of the Issuer to the extent necessary or appropriate to perform the services referred to in clauses (a) through (t) above of this Section 1 and under the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is a continuing power, coupled with an interest, and shall remain in full force and effect until revoked by the Issuer in writing by virtue of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 hereof or an assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 17 hereof; provided that any such revocation shall not affect any transaction initiated prior to such revocation. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Manager or a purchaser of a Collateral Interest or Eligible Investment, the Issuer shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Manager or such purchaser all reasonably necessary bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

In performing its duties hereunder, the Collateral Manager shall endeavor, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture, to manage the Collateral in a manner that will (i) permit a timely performance of all payment obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and (ii) subject to such objective, optimize the returns to the Holders of the Securities. The Collateral Manager does not hereby guarantee that sufficient funds will be available on each Payment Date to satisfy any such payment obligations.

 

4


The Collateral Manager agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder and under the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement in accordance with reasonable care and in good faith, using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which it (i) exercises with respect to comparable assets that it manages for itself and (ii) exercises with respect to comparable assets that it manages for others, and in a manner consistent with the practices and procedures then in effect followed by reasonable and prudent institutional managers of national standing relating to assets of the nature and character of the Collateral Interests, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Indenture and without regard to any conflicts of interest to which it may be subject (the “Collateral Management Standard”). In addition, the Collateral Manager shall use its best efforts to ensure that (i) inquiries are made, to the extent practicable, and to the extent the Collateral Manager believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, from sources normally available to it, with respect to the occurrence of any default or event of default in respect of any Collateral Interest under any Loan Document and (ii) commitments to purchase Collateral Interests and Eligible Investments are made by the Collateral Manager only if, in the Collateral Manager’s best judgment at the time of such commitment, payment at settlement in respect of any such purchase could be made without any breach or violation of, or default under, the terms of the Indenture or this Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall comply with and perform all the duties and functions that have been specifically delegated to the Collateral Manager under the Servicing Agreement and the Indenture in accordance with the Collateral Management Standard. The Collateral Manager shall be bound to follow any amendment, supplement or modification to the Indenture of which it has received written notice at least 10 Business Days prior to the execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to the Indenture which may affect the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall not be bound thereby (and the Issuer agrees that it will not permit any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to become effective) unless the Collateral Manager has been given prior written notice thereof and has given its written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the Trustee and the Issuer prior to the effectiveness thereof.

The Collateral Manager shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Note Administrator to facilitate the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Indenture.

So long as ay of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Collateral Manager shall perform the obligations of the Benchmark Agent under the Indenture.

2. Delegation of Duties. (a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b), the Collateral Manager may delegate its obligations as Collateral Manager to another Person and the Collateral Manager may enter into arrangements pursuant to which the Collateral Manager’s Affiliates or third parties may perform certain services on behalf of the Collateral Manager; provided that (i) such arrangements will not relieve the Collateral Manager from any of its duties or obligations hereunder as a result of such delegation to or employment of third parties, (ii) the Collateral Manager shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses payable to any such third party, except as set forth in Section 6 hereof, and (iii) such delegation does not constitute an “assignment” under the Advisers Act.

 

5


(b) The Collateral Manager may at any time delegate to a third party the responsibility to determine whether a Benchmark Transaction Event has occurred, or the responsibility to propose a Benchmark Replacement, a Benchmark Replacement Date, a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or a Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change, as applicable, and the Collateral Manager may enter into arrangements pursuant to which the Collateral Manager’s Affiliates or third parties may perform such services on behalf of the Collateral Manager; provided that (i) the Collateral Manager may not delegate such responsibility to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Note Administrator and (ii) such delegation does not constitute an “assignment” under the Advisers Act.

3. Purchase and Sale Transactions; Brokerage. (a) The Collateral Manager shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the best prices and executions for all orders placed with respect to the Collateral, considering all reasonable circumstances, including, if applicable, the conditions or terms of early redemption of the Securities, it being understood that the Collateral Manager has no obligation to obtain the lowest prices available. Subject to the objective of obtaining best prices and executions, the Collateral Manager may take into consideration all factors the Collateral Manager reasonably determines to be relevant, including timing, general relevant trends and research and other brokerage services and support equipment and services related thereto furnished to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates by brokers and dealers in compliance with Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act or, if Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act is not applicable, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. Such services may be used in connection with the other advisory activities or investment operations of the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates. In addition, subject to the objective of obtaining best prices and executions, the Collateral Manager may take into account available prices, rates of brokerage commissions and size and difficulty of the order, in addition to other relevant factors (such as, without limitation, execution capabilities, reliability (based on total trading rather than individual trading), integrity, financial condition in general, execution and operational capabilities of competing brokers and/or dealers, and the value of the ongoing relationship with such brokers and/or dealers), without having to demonstrate that such factors are of a direct benefit to the Issuer in any specific transaction. The Issuer acknowledges that the determination by the Collateral Manager of any benefit to the Issuer is subjective and represents the Collateral Manager’s evaluation at the time that the Issuer will be benefited by relatively better purchase or sales prices, lower brokerage commissions and beneficial timing of transactions or a combination of these and other factors.

The Collateral Manager may aggregate sales and purchase orders of securities placed with respect to the Collateral with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by the Collateral Manager or with accounts of the Affiliates of the Collateral Manager if, in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable judgment, such aggregation will not have an adverse effect on the Issuer. When any aggregate sales or purchase orders occur, the objective of the Collateral Manager (and any of its Affiliates involved in such transactions) shall be to allocate the executions among the accounts in a fair and equitable manner and generally to seek to allocate securities available for investment to all such accounts pro rata in proportion to the optimum amount sought by the Collateral Manager for each respective account. Investment opportunities and the purchases or sales of instruments shall be allocated in a manner believed by the Collateral Manager to be fair and equitable, taking into consideration, among other relevant factors, the differing investment objectives of the Issuer and the Collateral Manager’s other clients, the amount of capital available, the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, as applicable, set forth in the Indenture and in any governing documents or management agreements or advisory agreements relating to the Collateral Manager’s other clients, the maturity of the account and the exposure to similar or offsetting positions.

 

6


The Collateral Manager, whenever possible, will average the prices paid or received by all such clients (including the Issuer) whenever particular positions are acquired or disposed of at the same time. Circumstances may arise, however, in which such an allocation could have adverse effects upon the Issuer or the other clients of the Collateral Manager with respect to the price or size of positions obtainable or saleable.

All purchases and sales of Eligible Investments and Collateral Interests by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall be conducted in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws (including Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act) and the terms of the Indenture. After (and excluding) the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager shall cause any purchase or sale of any Collateral Interest or Eligible Investment to be conducted on an arm’s-length basis or, if applicable, in compliance with Section 3(b) hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all purchases of Eligible Investments and Collateral Interests by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer on the Closing Date (including all such purchases from Affiliates of the Collateral Manager) in a manner contemplated by the Offering Memorandum, dated March 12, 2025, related to the Offered Notes (or any supplement thereto) are hereby approved.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Indenture, in no event shall the Collateral Manager purchase or sell an Eligible Investment or a Collateral Interest for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market value changes.

(b) The Collateral Manager, subject to and in accordance with the Indenture, may effect direct trades between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, acting as principal or agent, but after and excluding the Closing Date (any such transaction, a “Restricted Transaction”) (other than with respect to (i) until the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, (a) Credit Risk/Defaulted Collateral Interest Cash Purchases of Credit Risk Collateral Interests or (b) purchases of any Credit Risk Collateral Interest by the Majority Preferred Shareholders, (ii) Credit Risk/Defaulted Collateral Interest Cash Purchases of Defaulted Collateral Interests, (iii) sales of Defaulted Collateral Interest to the Majority Preferred Shareholders and (iv) sales of assets in connection with a redemption of the Notes pursuant to Article 9 of the Indenture (none of which clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) will require the approval of the Advisory Committee (any such transaction, a “Restricted Transaction Exception”)), may do so only upon disclosure to and with the prior consent of an advisory committee to the Issuer that has been appointed from time to time as needed by the Issuer (the “Advisory Committee”) and based on the Advisory Committee’s determination that (i) such transaction is on terms (including purchase price) substantially as favorable to the Issuer as would be the case if a such transaction were effected with Persons not so affiliated with the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates and (ii) the purchase price in respect of any Collateral Interest acquired by the Issuer from the Seller pursuant to such a direct trade is at least equal to the fair market value of such Collateral Interest. The Advisory Committee, if any, shall be formed in accordance with, and be subject to the Advisory Committee Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Advisory Committee Guidelines”). The Issuer consents and agrees that, if any transaction relating to the Issuer, including any transaction effected between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates, shall be subject to the disclosure and consent requirements of Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act, such requirements shall be satisfied with respect to the Issuer and all Holders of the Securities if disclosure shall be given to, and consent obtained from, the Advisory Committee.

 

7


For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, unless required by Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act, no disclosure to, or consent of, the Advisory Committee shall be required with respect to a transaction that constitutes a Restricted Transaction Exception.

7. Fees. (a) TPG Manager, in its capacity as the Collateral Manager and acting in its sole discretion, hereby waives any and all Collateral Manager Fees payable to it or any of its Affiliates for so long as it or any of its Affiliates acts in the capacity as Collateral Manager hereunder and is also the manager of TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. (“TRTX”).

(b) Any successor Collateral Manager may determine to waive, reduce or defer the Collateral Manager Fees payable to it (without interest thereon) by written notice to the Trustee and the Note Administrator on or prior to the Determination Date in which such waiver, reduction or deferral applies. Any Collateral Manager Fees (x) so reduced or waived, shall be reduced or waived permanently and (y) so deferred, shall not accrue interest.

(c) Each successor Collateral Manager that is not an affiliate of TPG Manager shall receive as compensation for the performance of its obligations as Collateral Manager hereunder and under the Indenture, to the extent not waived pursuant to clause (b) above, a fee, payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, equal to 0.1% per annum of the Net Outstanding Portfolio Balance (the “Collateral Manager Fee”). Each Collateral Manager Fee will be calculated for each Interest Accrual Period assuming a 360-day year with 12 thirty-day months. The Collateral Manager Fee, if any, will be calculated based on the Net Outstanding Portfolio Balance for such Payment Date to the extent funds are available as of the first day of the applicable Interest Accrual Period and shall be payable only to the extent funds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments. If on any Payment Date there are insufficient funds to pay such fees (and/or any other amounts due and payable to the Collateral Manager) in full, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, the amount not so paid shall be deferred and such amounts shall be payable on such later Payment Date on which funds are available therefor as provided in the Priority of Payments set forth in the Indenture. Any accrued and unpaid Collateral Manager Fee that is deferred due to the operation of the Priority of Payments shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the Benchmark in effect for the applicable Interest Accrual Period computed on an actual/360-day basis and shall be paid as a Company Administrative Expense. The Collateral Manager hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer for the nonpayment to the Collateral Manager of fees or other amounts due it hereunder except in accordance with Section 18 hereof and, subject to the Indenture, the Servicing Agreement and the provisions of Section 12 hereof, to continue to serve as Collateral Manager, notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager shall not have received amounts due it under this Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available under the Indenture to pay such amounts pursuant to the Priority of Payments. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof or otherwise, the accrued Collateral Manager Fees payable to the Collateral Manager, if any, shall be prorated for any partial periods between the Payment Dates during which this Agreement was in effect and shall be due and payable on the first Payment Date following the date of such termination, together with all expenses and all interest payable to the Collateral Manager in accordance with Section 6 hereof, and subject to the provisions of the Indenture and the Priority of Payments.

(d) Any designee of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 2(b) shall receive as compensation for the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Indenture, to the extent not waived pursuant to clause (b) above, a fee, payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, equal to $25,000 per annum (the “Benchmark Transition Fee”). Each Benchmark Transition Fee will be calculated for each Interest Accrual Period on a 30/360 basis.

 

11


If on any Payment Date there are insufficient funds to pay such Benchmark Transition Fee (and/or any other amounts due and payable to such designee) in full, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, the amount not so paid shall be deferred and such amounts shall be payable on such later Payment Date on which funds are available therefor as provided in the Priority of Payments set forth in the Indenture. Any accrued and unpaid Benchmark Transition Fee that is deferred due to the operation of the Priority of Payments shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the Benchmark in effect for the applicable Interest Accrual Period computed on an actual/360 day basis and shall be paid as a Company Administrative Expense. By its acceptance, such designee shall be deemed to have agreed not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency or winding-up against the Issuer for the nonpayment of any amounts due it hereunder except in accordance with Section 18 hereof and, subject to the provisions of Section 12, to continue to serve in such capacity. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof or otherwise, the accrued Benchmark Transition Fees payable to such designee, if any, shall be prorated for any partial periods between the Payment Dates during which this Agreement was in effect and shall be due and payable on the first Payment Date following the date of such termination, together with all expenses payable to such designee in accordance with Section 6 hereof, and subject to the provisions of the Indenture and the Priority of Payments.

8. Non-Exclusivity. Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates from engaging in any other businesses or providing investment management, advisory or other types of services to any Persons, including the Issuer and its Affiliates, the Trustee and the Noteholders or any other Person; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager may not take any of the foregoing actions which the Collateral Manager knows or reasonably should know (a) would require the Issuer or the Collateral Manager to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act or (b) would with respect to the Issuer violate any provisions of federal or state law applicable to the Collateral Manager or any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer, which in the case of clause (b), would have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Issuer to perform its duties under this Agreement or the Indenture.

9. Conflicts of Interest. (a) After (but excluding) the Closing Date and the sales by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates of Collateral Interests to the Issuer on the Closing Date (and except with respect to a Restricted Transaction Exception), the Collateral Manager will not cause the Issuer to enter into any transaction with the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates as principal unless the applicable terms and conditions set forth in Section 3(b) are complied with.

(b) The Collateral Manager shall perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture and the requirements of the Advisers Act. The Issuer acknowledges (i) that the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates will sell Collateral Interests to the Issuer on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) that the Collateral Manager Related Parties may at times own Securities of one or more Classes. After the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager agrees to provide the Trustee with written notice upon the acquisition or transfer (after, but excluding, the Closing Date) of any Securities held by Collateral Manager Related Parties.

 

12


(c) Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents from engaging in other businesses, or from rendering services of any kind to the Issuer and its Affiliates, the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and their respective partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents may, subject to the Indenture, among other things:

(i) serve as directors (whether supervisory or managing), officers, employees, partners, shareholders, members, managers, agents, nominees or signatories for the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof, or for any obligor in respect of any of the Collateral Interests or Eligible Investments, or any of their respective Affiliates, except to the extent prohibited by their respective Loan Documents, as from time to time amended; provided that (x) in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, such activity will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or the Trustee to enforce its respective rights with respect to any Collateral and (y) nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to limit the duties of the Collateral Manager set forth in Section 1 hereof;

(ii) serve as a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or the Advancing Agent pursuant to the Indenture or the Servicing Agreement;

(iii) receive fees for services of whatever nature rendered to an obligor in respect of any of the Collateral Interests or Eligible Investments, including acting as servicer, sub-servicer or special servicer with respect to any Collateral Interest; provided that, (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, such activity by the Collateral Manager will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or the Trustee to enforce its respective rights with respect to any of the Collateral and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, such activity by any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager as to which the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge, will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or the Trustee to enforce its respective rights with respect to any of the Collateral;

(iv) be retained to provide services unrelated to this Agreement to the Issuer or its Affiliates and be paid therefor;

(v) be a secured or unsecured creditor of, or hold an equity interest in the Issuer, its Affiliates or any obligor of any Collateral Interest or Eligible Investment; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager may not be such a creditor or hold any of such interests if, in the opinion of counsel to the Issuer, the existence of such interest would (A) require registration of the Issuer or the pool of Collateral Interests and Eligible Investments as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act or (B) violate any provisions of federal or applicable state law or any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer, which in the case of clause (B) would have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Issuer to perform its duties under this Agreement or the Indenture; (vi) except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, sell any Collateral Interest or Eligible Investment to, or purchase any Collateral Interest or Eligible Investment from, the Issuer while acting in the capacity of principal or agent; and

 

13


(vii) subject to its obligations in Section 1 hereof to protect the Majority Holder of the Preferred Shares, serve as a member of any “creditors’ board” with respect to any Defaulted Collateral Interest, Eligible Investment or with respect to any Loan or the respective borrower for any such Loan.

It is understood that the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates may engage in any other business and furnish investment management and advisory services to others, including Persons that may have investment policies similar to those followed by the Collateral Manager with respect to the Collateral and that may own instruments of the same class, or of the same type, as the Collateral Interests or other instruments of the obligors of Collateral Interests and may manage portfolios similar to the Collateral. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates shall be free, in their sole discretion, to make recommendations to others, or effect transactions on behalf of themselves or for others, which may be the same as or different from those the Collateral Manager causes the Issuer to effect with respect to the Collateral.

The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may cause or advise their respective clients to invest in instruments that would be appropriate as security for the Offered Notes. Such investments may be different from those made on behalf of the Issuer. The Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and their respective clients may have ongoing relationships with Persons whose instruments are pledged to secure the Offered Notes and may own instruments issued by, or loans to, issuers of the Collateral Interests or to any borrower or Affiliate of any borrower on any Loans or the Eligible Investments. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may cause or advise their respective clients to invest in instruments that are senior to, or have interests different from or adverse to, the instruments that are pledged to secure the Offered Notes.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates from recommending to or directing any other account to buy or sell, at any time, financial assets of the same kind or class, or financial assets of a different kind or class of the same issuer, as those directed by the Collateral Manager to be purchased or sold hereunder. It is understood that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates, and any member, manager, officer, director, stockholder or employee of the Collateral Manager or any such Affiliate or any member of their families or a Person advised by the Collateral Manager may have an interest in a particular transaction or in financial assets of the same kind or class, or financial assets of a different kind or class of the same issuer, as those purchased or sold by the Collateral Manager hereunder. When the Collateral Manager is considering purchases or sales for the Issuer and one or more of such other accounts at the same time, the Collateral Manager shall allocate available investments or opportunities for sales in its discretion and make investment recommendations and decisions that may be the same as or different from those made with respect to the Issuer’s investments, in accordance with applicable law.

Subject to the Indenture and the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall not be obligated to pursue any specific investment strategy or opportunity that may arise with respect to the Collateral.

 

14


The Issuer hereby consents to the various potential and actual conflicts of interest that may exist with respect to the Collateral Manager as described above; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be construed as altering or limiting the duties of the Collateral Manager set forth in this Agreement or in the Indenture nor the requirement of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Collateral Manager.

10. Records; Confidentiality. The Collateral Manager shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, and such books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by an authorized representative of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture at a mutually agreed-upon time during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice; provided that the Collateral Manager shall not be obligated to provide access to any non-public information if the Collateral Manager in good faith determines that the disclosure of such information would violate any applicable law, regulation or contractual arrangement. The Collateral Manager shall follow its customary procedures to keep confidential all information obtained in connection with the services rendered hereunder and shall not disclose any such information to non-affiliated third parties except (i) with the prior written consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) for such information as the Rating Agencies shall reasonably request in connection with its rating or evaluation of the Notes and/or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, (iii) as required by law, regulation, court order or the rules, regulations, or request of any regulatory or self-regulating organization, body or official (including any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed from time to time) having jurisdiction over the Collateral Manager or as otherwise required by law or judicial process, (iv) such information as shall have been publicly disclosed other than in violation of this Agreement, (v) to its members, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, prospective and current investors, funding sources, prospective loan purchasers, and to its attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors in conjunction with the transactions described herein, (vi) such information as may be necessary or desirable in order for the Collateral Manager to prepare, publish and distribute to any Person any information relating to the investment performance of the Collateral, (vii) in connection with the enforcement of the Collateral Manager’s rights hereunder or in any dispute or proceeding related hereto, (viii) to the Trustee and (ix) to Holders and potential purchasers of any of the Securities.

11. Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the first of the following occurs: (a) the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of the Indenture in accordance with its terms, (b) the liquidation of the Collateral and the final distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation to the Holders of the Securities and the Issuer, or (c) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

12. Removal, Resignation and Replacement.13. (a) If a Collateral Manager Termination Event (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager may be removed under the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

 

15


The Collateral Manager shall notify the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Rating Agencies, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Issuer in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any event that constitutes a Collateral Manager Termination Event.

(b) The Collateral Manager may resign, upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager shall have the right to resign without prior notice if, due to a change in any applicable law or regulation or interpretation thereof, the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement would (i) adversely affect TPG RE Finance Trust CLO Sub-REIT (“Sub-REIT”) or a subsequent REIT’s status as a REIT, the Issuer’s status as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code) or another disregarded entity of Sub-REIT or such subsequent REIT, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (unless the Issuer has received a No Trade or Business Opinion) or (ii) constitute a violation of such applicable law or regulation. The Issuer shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor Collateral Manager to assume such duties.

(c) No removal or resignation of the Collateral Manager shall be effective unless the Collateral Manager Replacement Conditions are satisfied.

For purposes of the Collateral Management Agreement, “Collateral Manager Replacement Conditions” means all of the following:

(i) written notice of the applicable resignation, removal or assignment is provided to the Noteholders and the holders of the Preferred Shares as required under this Agreement;

(ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied;

(iii) a replacement Collateral Manager (“Replacement Collateral Manager”) is appointed by the Issuer and agrees in writing to assume all of the Collateral Manager’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement;

(iv) the Replacement Collateral Manager has demonstrated an ability to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed on the Collateral Manager;

(v) the Replacement Collateral Manager is legally qualified and has the capacity to act as Collateral Manager;

(vi) the appointment of the Replacement Collateral Manager will not cause or result in the Issuer or Co-Issuer becoming an “investment company” under the 1940 Act;

 

16


(vii) the appointment of the Replacement Collateral Manager will not cause the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the pool of Collateral to become subject to income or withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for such appointment; (viii) if the proposed Replacement Collateral Manager is an affiliate of the Collateral Manager, either (x) such assignment would not constitute an “assignment” under the Advisers Act or (y) the Issuer has provided the Noteholders and Holders of the Preferred Shares notice of such proposed appointment and the holders of at least a Majority of each Class of Notes (excluding any Notes held by the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and clients and funds for whom the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates acts as investment adviser (collectively, the “Collateral Manager Related Parties”)) do not disapprove of such proposed Replacement Collateral Manager in writing within 30 days of notice of such appointment; and

(ix) if the proposed Replacement Collateral Manager is not an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer has provided the Noteholders and the Holders of the Preferred Shares notice of such proposed appointment and the holders of at least a Majority of each Class of Notes (excluding any Notes held by the Collateral Manager Related Parties to the extent the Collateral Manager has been removed after the occurrence of a Collateral Manager Termination Event) do not disapprove of such proposed Replacement Collateral Manager in writing within 30 days of notice of such appointment.

(d) Upon the resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager while any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Majority Holder of the Preferred Shares (excluding any Preferred Shares held by any Collateral Manager Related Parties to the extent the Replacement Collateral Manager is an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Manager has been removed after the occurrence of a Collateral Manager Termination Event) will have the right to instruct the Issuer to appoint an institution identified by such Majority Holder of the Preferred Shares as Replacement Collateral Manager; provided that in the event that (i) 100% of the Preferred Shares are held by any one or more Collateral Manager Related Parties, (ii) the proposed Replacement Collateral Manager is an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager and (iii) the appointment of the proposed Replacement Collateral Manager would constitute an “assignment” under the Advisers Act, the holders of at least a Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the most subordinate Class of Notes not 100% owned by the Collateral Manager Related Parties (excluding any Notes held by the Collateral Manager Related Parties to the extent the Replacement Collateral Manager is an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Manager has been removed after the occurrence of a Collateral Manager Termination Event) may direct the Issuer to appoint an institution identified by such Holders as Replacement Collateral Manager.

(e) In the event that the Collateral Manager resigns pursuant to Section 12(c) or is removed pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof and the Issuer has not appointed a successor prior to the day following the removal (or resignation) date specified in such notice, the Collateral Manager will be entitled to appoint a Replacement Collateral Manager within 60 days thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of clauses (ii) through (viii) of the Collateral Manager Replacement Conditions. In the event a proposed Replacement Collateral Manager is not appointed within 30 days of the notice of such resignation or removal, the resigning or removed Collateral Manager may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Replacement Collateral Manager, which appointment will not require the consent of, or be subject to the disapproval of, the Issuer or any Noteholder or any Holder of the Preferred Shares. Upon expiration of the applicable notice periods with respect to resignation or removal specified in Section 12(a) or (c) hereof or in the Servicing Agreement, and upon acceptance of such appointment by a Replacement Collateral Manager, all authority and power of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, whether with respect to the Collateral or otherwise, shall automatically and without further action by any person or entity pass to and be vested in the Replacement Collateral Manager upon the appointment thereof.

 

17


Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or otherwise, so long as the Collateral Manager continues to perform its obligations hereunder and has not waived the Collateral Manager Fee, the Collateral Manager Fee shall continue to accrue for the benefit of the Collateral Manager until termination of this Agreement under this Section 12 shall become effective as set forth herein. In addition, the Collateral Manager shall, subject to Section 6 hereof, be entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in cooperating with the Replacement Collateral Manager, including in connection with the delivery of any documents or property. In the event that the Collateral Manager is removed or resigns and a Replacement Collateral Manager is appointed, such former Collateral Manager (to the extent such former Collateral Manager is an entity other than TPG Manager or any Affiliate thereof) nonetheless shall be entitled to receive payment of all unpaid Collateral Manager Fees accrued through the effective date of the removal or resignation, to the extent that funds are available for that purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and such payments shall rank in the Priority of Payments pari passu with the Collateral Manager Fees due to the Replacement Collateral Manager.

(f) Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall as soon as practicable:

(i) deliver to the Issuer, or as the Issuer directs, all property and documents of the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Issuer or otherwise relating to the Collateral then in the custody of the Collateral Manager (although the Collateral Manager may keep copies of such documents for its records); and

(ii) deliver to the Trustee and the Note Administrator an accounting with respect to the books and records delivered to the Issuer or the Replacement Collateral Manager appointed pursuant to this Section 12.

The Collateral Manager shall reasonably assist and cooperate with the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the Issuer (as reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Issuer) in the assumption of the Collateral Manager’s duties by any Replacement Collateral Manager as provided for in this Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding such termination, the Collateral Manager shall remain liable to the extent set forth herein (but subject to Section 13 hereof) for the Collateral Manager’s acts or omissions hereunder arising prior to its termination as Collateral Manager hereunder and for any Collateral Manager Liabilities in respect of or arising out of a breach of the representations and warranties made by it in Section 5 hereof or from any failure of the Collateral Manager to comply with the provisions of this Section 12(g).

(g) The Collateral Manager agrees that, notwithstanding any termination, the Collateral Manager shall reasonably cooperate in any Proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture or any of the Collateral (excluding any such Proceeding in which claims are asserted against the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager) so long as the Collateral Manager shall have been offered (in its judgment) reasonable security, indemnity or other provision against the cost, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred in connection therewith, but, in any event, shall not be required to make any admission or to take any action against the Collateral Manager’s own interests or the interests of other funds and accounts advised by the Collateral Manager.

 

18


(h) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12(a) or (c) hereof, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager to the other, except as provided in Sections 6, 7, 12 and 13 and the last sentence of Section 10 hereof.

13. Liability of Collateral Manager. (a) The Collateral Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for from the Collateral Manager hereunder and under the Indenture in the manner prescribed herein and therein. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates, and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants and attorneys (the Collateral Manager and such other Persons collectively, the “Collateral Manager Indemnified Parties”) shall have no liability to the Noteholders, the Trustee, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Placement Agents, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants and attorneys, for any error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any claim, loss, liability, damage, settlement, costs, or other expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Collateral Manager Liabilities”) that arise out of or in connection with any act or omissions of the Collateral Manager in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for any decrease in the value of the Collateral Interests or Eligible Investments, except (i) by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence in the performance of, or negligent disregard of, the duties of the Collateral Manager hereunder and under the terms of the other Transaction Documents and (ii) with respect to the information concerning the Collateral Manager under the heading “The Collateral Manager” in the Offering Memorandum containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Issuer agrees that the Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages hereunder. The breaches described in Section 13(a)(i) and (ii) are collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 13 as “Collateral Manager Breaches.”

(b) The Collateral Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer and each of its partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants and attorneys (each, an “Issuer Indemnified Party”) from and against any Collateral Manager Liabilities that are incurred as a direct consequence of the Collateral Manager Breaches, except for liability to which such Issuer Indemnified Party would be subject by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, negligence in the performance of, or negligent disregard of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture.

(c) The Issuer shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Collateral Manager Indemnified Parties from any and all Collateral Manager Liabilities, as are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation (whether or not such Collateral Manager Indemnified Party is a party) caused by, or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the issuance of the Notes, or any acts or omissions of any Collateral Manager Indemnified Parties except those that are the result of Collateral Manager Breaches.

 

19


Any amounts payable by the Issuer under this Section 13(c) shall be payable only subject to the Priority of Payments set forth in the Indenture and only to the extent Collateral is available therefor.

(d) With respect to any claim made or threatened in writing against an Issuer Indemnified Party or a Collateral Manager Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”), or compulsory process or request or other notice of any Collateral Manager Liability served upon an Indemnified Party, for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 13, such Indemnified Party shall (or, with respect to Indemnified Parties that are directors, managers, officers, stockholders, members, managers, agents or employees of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, shall cause such Indemnified Party to):

(i) give written notice to the indemnifying party of such claim within ten Business Days after such Indemnified Party’s receipt of actual notice that such claim is made or threatened, which notice to the indemnifying party shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the amount (or an estimate of the amount) of the claim; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to provide such notice to the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 13 unless the rights or defenses available to the Indemnified Party are materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeited by reason of such failure;

(ii) at the indemnifying party’s expense, provide the indemnifying party such information and cooperation with respect to such claim as the indemnifying party may reasonably require, including making appropriate personnel available to the indemnifying party at such reasonable times as the indemnifying party may request;

(iii) at the indemnifying party’s expense, cooperate and take all such steps as the indemnifying party may reasonably request to preserve and protect any defense to such claim;

(iv) in the event suit is brought with respect to such claim, upon reasonable prior notice, afford to the indemnifying party the right, which the indemnifying party may exercise in its sole discretion and at its expense, to participate in the investigation, defense and settlement of such claim;

 

20


(v) neither incur any material expense to defend against nor release or settle any such claim or make any admission with respect thereto (other than routine or incontestable admissions or factual admissions the failure to make of which would expose such Indemnified Party to unindemnified liability) nor permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, in each case without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party; and (vi) upon reasonable prior notice, afford to the indemnifying party the right, in such indemnifying party’s sole discretion and at such indemnifying party’s sole expense, to assume the defense of such claim, including the right to designate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and to control all negotiations, litigation, arbitration, settlements, compromises and appeals of such claim; provided that, if the indemnifying party assumes the defense of such claim, it shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for any Indemnified Party incurred thereafter in connection with such claim except that, if such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that counsel designated by the indemnifying party has a conflict of interest, such indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from such indemnifying party’s own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not have the right, without the Indemnified Party’s written consent, to settle any such claim if, in a case where the Issuer is the indemnifying party, the Issuer does not make available (in accordance with the Priority of Payments), in a segregated account available only for this purpose, the full amount required to pay any amounts due from the Indemnified Party under such settlement or, in any case, such settlement (A) arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding, (B) contains a stipulation to, confession of judgment with respect to, or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, (C) relates to any federal, state or local tax matters, (D) provides for injunctive relief, or other relief other than damages, which is binding on the Indemnified Party or (E) does not include a full release of the Indemnified Party without admission of fault or wrongdoing.

(e) In the event that any Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnification hereunder, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to appoint counsel to represent such Indemnified Party nor shall the indemnifying party reimburse such Indemnified Party for any costs of counsel to such Indemnified Party.

(f) Nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may have under any United States federal or state securities laws.

(g) The Collateral Manager and any director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matter arising hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.

14. Obligations of Collateral Manager. (a) Unless otherwise required by a provision of the Indenture or this Agreement or by applicable law, the Collateral Manager shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no action is taken by it, and shall not intentionally or with negligent disregard take any action, which the Collateral Manager knows or reasonably should know (i) could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Issuer or the Co-Issuer for purposes of Cayman Islands law, Delaware law, United States federal or state law or any other law known to the Collateral Manager to be applicable to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, (ii) would not be permitted under the Issuer or the Co-Issuer’s Governing Documents, (iii) would require registration of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, (iv) would cause the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to violate the terms of the Indenture or any other agreement, representation or certification contemplated by or provided pursuant to the Indenture, (v) would cause the Issuer to fail to qualify as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary unless the Issuer has received an opinion of Dechert LLP, Vinson & Elkins LLP or another nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters that the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that will not be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for federal income tax purposes, (vi) would have a materially adverse United States federal or state income tax effect on the Issuer or (vii) would result in the Issuer entering into any “reportable transactions” in connection with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax shelter rules unless the Collateral Manager notifies the Issuer immediately after entering into any such reportable transactions.

 

21


The Collateral Manager shall not take any action that would cause the Issuer to be required to register as or become subject to regulatory supervision or other legal requirements under the laws of any country or political subdivision thereof as a bank, insurance company or finance company. The Collateral Manager shall not take any action that would cause the Issuer to be treated as a bank, insurance company or finance company for purposes of (i) any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, (ii) any application made to a rating agency or (iii) qualification for any exemption from tax, securities law or any other legal requirements. The Collateral Manager shall not cause the Issuer to hold itself out to the public as a bank, insurance company or finance company. The Collateral Manager shall not cause the Issuer to hold itself out to the public, through advertising or otherwise, as originating loans, lending funds, or making a market in loans, derivative financial instruments or other assets. The Collateral Manager shall not have any liability under this Section 14 for any action taken by the Collateral Manager in good faith in reliance on information provided by the Issuers or the Trustee.

(b) The Collateral Manager to the extent required under the Indenture, and on behalf of the Issuer, shall: (i) engage the services of an Independent certified accountant to prepare any United States federal, state or local income tax or information returns and any non-United States income tax or information returns that the Issuer may from time to time be required to file under applicable law (each, a “Tax Return”), (ii) deliver, prior to the applicable date upon which penalties and interest would accrue, each Tax Return, properly completed, to the Issuer (or the Company Administrator on its behalf) for signature and (iii) file or deliver such Tax Return on behalf of the Issuer within any applicable time limit with any authority or Person as required under applicable law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates may take any action that is not specifically prohibited by the Indenture, this Agreement or applicable law that the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager deems to be in its or a client’s (or in their respective portfolios’) best interest regardless of its impact on the Issuer or the Collateral Interests.

15. No Partnership or Joint Venture. The Issuer and the Collateral Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them. The Collateral Manager’s relation to the Issuer shall be that of an independent contractor and not a general agent. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and in the Indenture, the Collateral Manager shall not have authority to act for or represent the Issuer in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed to be the Issuer’s agent.

 

22


16. Notices. Any notice from a party under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed and delivered or sent by electronic mail, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by overnight or second day delivery by a nationally recognized courier, such as FedEx or UPS, to the other party at such address as such other party may designate for the receipt of such notice.

Any assignment of this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise to any Person, in whole or in part, by the Collateral Manager shall be deemed null and void unless the Collateral Manager Replacement Conditions are satisfied.

Any assignment consented to by the Issuer in accordance with Article 15 of the Indenture shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Collateral Manager is bound. In addition, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee a counterpart of this Agreement naming such assignee as Collateral Manager.

In the event of any assignment by the Issuer, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to cause its successor to execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager such documents as the Collateral Manager shall consider reasonably necessary to effect fully such assignment. The Collateral Manager hereby consents to the assignment and other matters set forth in Article 15 of the Indenture.

18. No Bankruptcy Petition/Limited Recourse. The Collateral Manager covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands)) after the payment in full of all Notes issued by the Issuer under the Indenture, the Collateral Manager will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer (or any Permitted Subsidiary) or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up, reorganization or similar law of any jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing in this provision shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral Manager from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands)) in (x) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, or (y) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, by a Person other than the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer’s obligations hereunder will be solely the corporate obligations of the Issuer, and the Collateral Manager will not have recourse to any of the directors, officers, employees, incorporators, shareholders or Affiliates of the Issuer, or any members of the Advisory Committee, with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations hereunder or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, all obligations of the Issuer and any claims arising from this Agreement or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case arising from time to time and at any time, shall be limited solely to the Collateral payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments. If payments on any such claims from the Collateral available at such time are insufficient, no other assets shall be available for payment of the deficiency and, following liquidation of all the Collateral, all claims against the Issuer and the obligations of the Issuer to pay such deficiencies shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.

 

24


The Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder shall be solely the limited liability company obligations of the Collateral Manager, and the Issuer shall not have any recourse to any of the members, managers, directors, officers, employees, shareholders or Affiliates of the Collateral Manager with respect to any Collateral Manager Liabilities in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

19. Rating Agency Information. All information and notices required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies pursuant to this Agreement or requested by the Rating Agencies in connection herewith, shall first be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider in compliance with the terms of the Indenture (who shall post such information to the 17g-5 Website in accordance with Section 14.13 of the Indenture).

Each party hereto, insofar as it may communicate with any Rating Agency pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, each other party to this Agreement, agrees to comply (and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each and every sub-servicer, subcontractor, vendor or agent for such Person and each of its officers, directors and employees to comply) with the provisions relating to communications with the Rating Agencies set forth in this Section 19 and shall not deliver to any Rating Agency any report, statement, request or other information relating to the Notes or the Collateral Interests other than in compliance with such provisions.

None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 19 prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Collateral Manager, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s review of the ratings, if any, it assigns to such party, (ii) such Rating Agency’s approval, if any, of such party as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer or (iii) such Rating Agency’s evaluation of such party’s servicing operations in general; provided, however, that such party shall not provide any information relating to the Notes or the Collateral Interests to any Rating Agency in connection with any such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency unless (x) borrower, property or deal specific identifiers are redacted; or (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded onto the 17g-5 Website.

20. Miscellaneous.21. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. With respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes, the Indenture or this Agreement (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably (i) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York and (ii) waives any objection that such party may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor shall the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction. A final and non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

25


The Collateral Manager irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process in accordance with Section 16 above to the Collateral Manager at the Collateral Manager’s address set forth in Section 16, or such other address as the Collateral Manager may advise the Issuer in writing. The Issuer consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to c/o Maples Fiduciary Services (Delaware) Inc., Suite 302, 4001 Kennett Pike, County of New Castle, Wilmington, Delaware 19807 (and any successor entity), as its authorized agent to receive and forward on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees that service of process upon Maples Fiduciary Services (Delaware) Inc. shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon it. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

(c) In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision hereof.

(d) This Agreement (including Exhibit A attached hereto) may be modified (i) upon the written consent of the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, without the consent of any other Person (1) to cure any ambiguity, (2) to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in the Offering Memorandum, (3) to add to any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or (4) for any other purposes, provided that such action does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Securityholder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer without the consent of such Securityholder, Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable; (ii) without the consent of any of the Securityholder or satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, to evidence changes to applicable laws and regulations, including the Advisers Act and any rules, regulations or interpretive guidance issued or promulgated thereunder or (iii) with the written consent of the Noteholders evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than a Majority of the Voting Rights of the Noteholders, and the written consent of the Holders of a Majority of the Preferred Shares, for the purpose of adding any provisions or changing in any manner or eliminating any provisions of this Agreement that materially and adversely affect the rights of the Securityholders.

 

26


(e) This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto concerning this subject matter (other than the Indenture).

(f) The Collateral Manager hereby agrees and consents to the terms of Section 15.1(f) of the Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager and shall perform any provisions of the Indenture made applicable to the Collateral Manager by the Indenture as required by Section 15.1(f) of the Indenture. The Collateral Manager agrees that all of the representations, covenants and agreements made by the Collateral Manager herein are also for the benefit of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Noteholders and the Holders of the Preferred Shares.

(g) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party (and any respective successors and permitted assigns thereof) when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of such party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case, to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof.

(k) This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Note Administrator and the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and the Holders of the Preferred Shares, their successors and assigns, and no other person shall have any right, benefit or interest under or because of this Agreement.

 

27


(l) The Collateral Manager hereby irrevocably waives any rights it may have to set off against the Collateral.

(m) No Noteholder or Holder of any Preferred Share is a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement for any purpose or has any independent rights hereunder.

EXHIBIT A

Advisory Committee Guidelines

 

1.

General.

If, at any time after and excluding the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager desires to direct a Restricted Transaction (other than a Restricted Transaction Exception), before effecting such trade, it shall first present such Restricted Transaction to the Advisory Committee for (1) review and prior approval and (2) a determination by the Advisory Committee that (i) such Restricted Transaction is on terms (including, but not limited to, the purchase price) substantially as favorable to the Issuer as would be the case if such transaction were effected with Persons not so affiliated with the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, and that (ii) the purchase price in respect of any Collateral Interest acquired by the Issuer from the Seller pursuant to such a direct trade is at least equal to the fair market value of such Collateral Interest.

 

2.

Composition of the Advisory Committee.

The Advisory Committee must be comprised of at least one person (which may be an individual or an entity), who is not an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager (each such person, an “Independent Member”).

The Advisory Committee also may have one or more members appointed by the Collateral Manager and employed by the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof (each such person, an “Affiliated Member”).

 

3.

Requisite Experience.

Each member of the Advisory Committee must at the time of appointment and at all relevant times thereafter have Requisite Experience.

The Collateral Manager and the Issuer will have the right to accept a representation and warranty from a member regarding its Requisite Experience, in the absence of actual knowledge by a responsible officer of the Collateral Manager to the contrary.

“Requisite Experience” means experience as a sophisticated investor, including, without limitation, in fixed income investing (directly and/or through investment vehicles) and/or substantial experience and knowledge in and of the commercial real estate loan market and related investment arenas, such that the relevant Advisory Committee member believes that such member is capable of determining whether or not to participate in Advisory Committee decisions on the basis of the provisions described herein. Such person need not be a professional loan investor or loan originator.

 

4.

Appointment of Initial Members of the Advisory Committee.

The initial members of the Advisory Committee may be appointed by the Collateral Manager.

 

Exh. A-1


5.

Removal of Independent Members of the Advisory Committee; Replacement of Independent Members of the Advisory Committee.

A Majority of the Controlling Class (excluding any Notes held by the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates or any funds (other than the Issuer) managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) shall have the right to remove any member of the Advisory Committee.

Any replacement Independent Member shall be selected by the Collateral Manager and must be approved by a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Any replacement Affiliated Member shall be appointed by the Collateral Manager.

The Collateral Manager will have the right to remove an Independent Member if such Independent Member fails to comply with the terms governing the Advisory Committee, subject to any applicable grace and cure periods, but such removal shall be subject to the appointment of a successor Independent Member.

The Collateral Manager will have the right to remove any Affiliated Member at any time and in its sole discretion (with or without cause), and such removal will not be subject to the appointment of any successor Affiliated Member.

 

6.

Term; Resignation of Members of the Advisory Committee.

Each member of the Advisory Committee will serve until such member resigns, dies (or with respect to an entity, its liquidation or winding-up) or is removed or until all of the Collateral has been sold and the lien of the Indenture in respect thereto has been released, in each case as more particularly described in an agreement to be entered into between each member of the Advisory Committee and the Issuer.

Each member of the Advisory Committee will have the right to resign without penalty at any time, and such resignation will not be subject to the appointment of a replacement member.

 

7.

Approval Process.

If the Collateral Manager wants the Issuer to consider a Restricted Transaction (other than a Restricted Transaction Exception), the Collateral Manager will give notice of such proposed Restricted Transaction to the members of the Advisory Committee. The notice will contain the request by the Collateral Manager for the Advisory Committee’s consent to the Restricted Transaction. The notice will be accompanied by:

 

   

an investment memorandum; and

 

   

an underwriting analysis, in form and substance as the Collateral Manager or its affiliates would use in connection with its underwriting and approval of a loan similar to the Collateral Interests, including any analysis, reports or documents delivered to the related credit committee (the “Review Materials”).

 

Exh. A-2


The investment memorandum (a) will be a reasonably detailed (anticipated to be approximately two pages) description of the proposed investment, the issuer thereof and related information and (b) will include information about the identity of any Affiliated Person involved in the proposed investment and the capacity in which it will be acting and a narrative about why, in the judgment of the Collateral Manager, the investment is appropriate to be purchased or sold by the Issuer, as the case may be. The notice will contain the Collateral Manager’s offer to provide additional information as requested to the Advisory Committee.

 

8.

Unanimous Written Consent.

Regardless of the composition of the Advisory Committee, each Restricted Transaction (other than a Restricted Transaction Exception) must be approved in writing by each member of the Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee will have no less than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Review Materials and any other information requested by the Advisory Committee to review such Restricted Transaction.

The members of the Advisory Committee are under no obligation to consent to a Restricted Transaction.

 

   

If all of the members of the Advisory Committee approve a Restricted Transaction in writing, the Issuer will effect it at the option of the Collateral Manager.

 

   

Except with respect to a Restricted Transaction Exception, if any member of the Advisory Committee notifies the Collateral Manager that the Advisory Committee will not approve the Restricted Transaction, the Issuer will not effect the Restricted Transaction.

If at any time the Advisory Committee does not have at least one Independent Member or any member does not have Requisite Experience, the Collateral Manager will not be permitted to use the Advisory Committee to approve any Restricted Transaction.

 

9.

Indemnification; Compensation.

Each Independent Member shall receive arm’s length compensation by the Issuer for serving on the Advisory Committee as agreed between such member and the Issuer. Any such payment shall be payable by the Issuer as part of its expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments (or, in the case of any amounts due on the Closing Date, from the gross proceeds of the sale of the Notes).

Pursuant to an agreement to be entered into between each member of the Advisory Committee and the Issuer, each member of the Advisory Committee will be entitled to indemnification from the Issuer and broad exculpation provisions, i.e., no liability except for such member’s willful misconduct or fraud.

 

Exh. A-3


10.

Reliance.

Each member of the Advisory Committee may conclusively rely (without any independent investigation or otherwise) on any information provided by the Collateral Manager (excluding any statements regarding market pricing).

 

11.

Amendment.

These Advisory Committee Guidelines may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Member.

Any such Person may obtain promptly upon request, from the Special Servicer, any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the Special Servicer’s possession for making a non-recoverability determination.

The servicing practices described in the preceding sentence are herein referred to as the “Servicing Standard.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the effectuation of any Criteria-Based Modifications and (ii) any Administrative Modification shall not be subject to the Servicing Standard. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be in violation of the Servicing Standard for approving or consummating any such modification or for servicing the related Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents as modified by such Criteria-Based Modification or Administrative Modification so long as it is otherwise performing in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation or responsibility to determine if the Collateral Manager is acting in accordance with any standard of conduct for the Collateral Manager.

Section 2.02 Sub-servicing. (a) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may delegate any of its obligations hereunder to a sub-servicer (so long as such Person is a Qualified Servicer); provided, however, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide oversight and supervision with regard to the performance of all subcontracted services and (i) any sub-servicing agreement shall be consistent with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) no sub-servicer retained shall foreclose on any Loan or grant any modification, waiver, or amendment to the Loan Documents without the approval of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Neither the existence of any sub-servicing agreement nor any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to sub-servicing shall relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of its obligations to the Issuer hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, alone was servicing the related Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any sub-servicer, regardless of whether the compensation hereunder of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is sufficient to pay such fees. The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be permitted to provide a copy of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement to any sub-servicer retained by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

(b) Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (ii) qualified to service investments comparable to the Loans.

(c) Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may, be shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, (ii) the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, or if the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) a successor servicer if such successor servicer has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in each case without cause and without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the successor servicer or the successor special servicer.

 

-32-


In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the payment of any termination fee in connection with any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer or Special Servicer or any successor servicer. In no event shall any sub-servicing agreement give a sub-servicer direct rights against the assets of the Issuer.

Any sub-servicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Loans involving a sub-servicer shall be deemed to be between the sub-servicer and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, alone and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be deemed a party thereto nor shall have any claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any sub-servicer except as set forth in Section 2.01(c) and Section 6.02.

The Trustee shall not be (a) liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, (b) obligated to make any Servicing Advance, (c) responsible for expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, (d) liable for any amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer or any successor special servicer to act as special servicer hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the foregoing subsections of this Section 2.02, the appointment by the Servicer or the Special Servicer of one or more third-party contractors for the purpose of performing discrete, ministerial functions shall not constitute the appointment of sub-servicers and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.02; provided, that (a) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall remain responsible for the actions of such third-party contractors as if it were alone performing such functions and shall pay all fees and expenses of such third-party contractors; and (b) such appointment imposes no additional duty on any other party to this Agreement, any successor hereunder to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.

(e) Each sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer shall provide that the Controlling Holder shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the sub-servicer under such sub-servicing agreement with respect to such Collateral Interest, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Issuer, the Special Servicer, the Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Note Administrator and the Trustee, and replace such sub-servicer with a successor sub-servicer that is a Qualified Servicer, subject to the consent of the Servicer with respect to such replacement sub-servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that (a) all applicable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, cost and expenses of the Servicer) of any such termination made by the Controlling Holder shall be paid by the Controlling Holder and (b) all applicable accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, Additional Servicing Compensation and Servicing Expenses owed to such sub-servicer are paid in full.

Section 2.03 Authority of the Servicer or the Special Servicer. (a) In performing its Servicing or Special Servicing obligations hereunder, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall, except as otherwise provided herein and subject to the terms of this Agreement, have full power and authority, acting alone or through others, to take any and all actions in connection with such Servicing or Special Servicing, as applicable, that it deems necessary or appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard (except that the processing and effectuation of Administrative Modifications or Criteria-Based Modifications by the Special Servicer shall not be subject to the Servicing Standard).

The Issuer agrees to cooperate with the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, by either executing and delivering to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, from time to time (i) powers of attorney evidencing the authority and power under this Section of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or (ii) such documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to enable the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its Servicing or Special Servicing obligations hereunder.

(b) Subject to Section 2.03(d), in the performance of its Servicing or Special Servicing obligations, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall take any action or refrain from taking any action that the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) directs shall be taken or not taken, as the case may be, which relates to the Servicing or Special Servicing obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer (x) shall not take or refrain from taking any action that the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) requests that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, take or refrain from taking to the extent that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action or inaction, as the case may be: (i) may cause a violation of applicable laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, court orders or restrictive covenants with respect to any Loan, Mortgaged Property or other collateral for a Loan, (ii) may cause a violation of any provision of a Loan Document, this Agreement, the related Partition Agreement or the Indenture or (iii) may cause a violation of the Servicing Standard (except that the processing and effectuation of Administrative Modifications or Criteria-Based Modifications by the Special Servicer shall not be subject to the Servicing Standard) and (y) may refrain from taking any action that the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any Companion Interest Holder directs that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard may materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities (or materially reduce such party’s rights), as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be in violation of the Servicing Standard if servicing a Loan that was previously the subject of an Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents as modified by such Administrative Modification or Criteria-Based Modification, so long as it is otherwise performing the servicing of such Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

In the event that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that the decision of the Controlling Holder is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take such actions as approved by the Controlling Holder.

(i) With respect to each Non-Serviced Loan, the parties to this Agreement shall have no obligation or authority to supervise the respective parties to the Non-Serviced Servicing Agreement (but this statement shall not relieve them of liabilities they may otherwise have in their capacities as parties to such Non-Serviced Servicing Agreement) or to make servicing advances with respect to any such Non-Serviced Loan. Any obligation of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Rating Agencies with respect to any Non-Serviced Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

(j) With respect to any Non-Serviced Loan, the Servicer shall not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the related Non-Serviced Servicing Agreement that adversely affects in any material respect the interest of the related Participation, unless the consent and consultation requirements that would be necessary for the same amendment, modification or waiver under the terms of this Agreement have been satisfied.

Section 3.02 Escrow Accounts; Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items. (a) Subject to and as required by the terms of the related Loan Documents, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited promptly after receipt and identification. Escrow Accounts shall be denominated “Situs Asset Management LLC, as Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the TRTX 2025-FL6 Notes, the other Secured Parties and the related Companion Interest Holders” or in such other manner as the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) prescribes (subject to any changes in the identities of the Servicer and/or the Trustee). The Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee in writing of the location and account number of each Escrow Account it establishes and shall notify the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee promptly after any change thereof. Except as provided herein (including without limitation, the withdrawals described in the following sentence, which may be made without Issuer, Special Servicer or the Collateral Manager consent), withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made only following notice to, and consent of, the Special Servicer subject to consent and consultation provisions set forth in Section 3.23).

Subject to any express provisions to the contrary herein, to applicable laws, and to the terms of the related Loan Documents governing the use of the Escrow Payments, withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may only be made: (i) to effect payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, (ii) to effect payment of ground rents and other items required or permitted to be paid from escrow, (iii) to refund to the related Obligors any sums determined to be in excess of the amounts required to be deposited therein, (iv) to pay interest, if required under the Loan Documents, to the Obligors on balances in the Escrow Accounts, (v) to pay to the Servicer from time to time any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.04, (vi) to apply funds to the indebtedness of the Loan in accordance with the terms thereof, (vii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager or the Advancing Agent, as the case may be, for any Servicing Advance or Servicing Expense, as the case may be, for which Escrow Payments should have been made by the Obligors, but only from amounts received on the Loan which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Escrow Accounts which was not required to be deposited therein or (ix) to clear and terminate the Escrow Accounts at the termination of this Agreement.

 

-39-


(b) The Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan, reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto as well as the payment of ground rents with respect to each ground lease (to the extent such information is reasonably available). To the extent that the related Loan Documents require Escrow Payments to be made by an Obligor under a Serviced Loan, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items, and shall effect payment prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments paid by such Obligor under a Serviced Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and deposited in the related Escrow Account by the Servicer. To the extent that the Loan Documents do not require an Obligor to make Escrow Payments (and no other loan secured by the Mortgaged Property requires escrows or reserves for such amounts), the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require that any tax, insurance or other payment referenced in the definition of Escrow Payment be made by such Obligors prior to the applicable penalty or termination date (to the extent that the holder of the related Loan has the right to so require). Subject to Section 3.05 with respect to the payment of insurance premiums, if an Obligor under a Serviced Loan fails to make payment on a timely basis or collections from such Obligor are insufficient to pay any such item when due and the holder of the related Loan has the right to pay such premiums on behalf of such Obligor pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents, the amount of any shortfall shall be paid by the Advancing Agent, subject to Section 5.02, as a Servicing Advance.

Section 3.03 Collection Account and Partitioned Loan Collection Account. (a) With respect to the Collateral Interests, the Servicer shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account (the “Collection Account”) for the benefit of the Issuer for the purposes set forth herein. The Collection Account shall be denominated “Situs Asset Management LLC, as Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the TRTX 2025-FL6 Notes and the other Secured Parties” (subject to any changes in the identities of the Servicer and/or the Trustee). The Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account (1) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds all payments and collections received by it on or after the date hereof with respect to the Collateral Interests and related REO Properties (other than, subject to Section 3.03(c), such payments and collections that are required to be deposited into the Partitioned Loan Collection Account), other than (x) Escrow Payments, (y) payments in the nature of Additional Servicing Compensation or (z) scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Closing Date and collected on or after the Closing Date, which amounts described in this clause (z) shall be remitted to the Seller, (2) amounts from the Partitioned Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c) and (3) any Loss of Value Payment remitted by the Seller pursuant to the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall transfer the Initial Interest Reserve Deposit Amount to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.

(vi) to reimburse itself and the Advancing Agent, as applicable (in that order), for Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, first, out of REO Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds received on the related Collateral Interest or REO Property, then, out of the interest portion of general collections on the Collateral Interests and REO Properties, then, to the extent the interest portion of general collections is insufficient and with respect to such excess only, out of other collections on the Collateral Interests and REO Properties;

(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and

(xi) during the Reinvestment Period, subject to receipt by the Servicer of a written certification from the Collateral Manager that (i) the Note Protection Tests were satisfied as of the immediately preceding Payment Date and (ii) the Collateral Manager reasonably expects the Note Protection Tests to be satisfied on the immediately succeeding Payment Date, to transfer from the Collection Account by no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Servicer of any Unscheduled Principal Proceeds in properly identified funds, for deposit into the Reinvestment Account, any such Unscheduled Principal Proceeds. The Collateral Manager shall provide each such request to the Servicer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the expect prepayment subject to such request. Any such request referred to above (a) shall be delivered no more than once in each Due Period and only during the Reinvestment Period and (b) shall specify the requested date of remittance and amount of any Principal Proceeds to be remitted. The Servicer shall not be required to make any determination with respect to, or verification of, the delivery or sufficiency of any certification of the Collateral Manager required by Section 11.1(a)(ii) of the Indenture.

(c) With respect to the Partitioned Loans that are Serviced Loans, the Servicer shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account (the “Partitioned Loan Collection Account”) for the purposes set forth herein. The Partitioned Loan Collection Account may be a sub-account or ledger account of a single account, including of the Collection Account. The Partitioned Loan Collection Account shall be denominated “Situs Asset Management LLC, as Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the TRTX 2025-FL6 Notes, the other Secured Parties and the Companion Interest Holders” (subject to any changes in the identities of the Servicer and/or the Trustee). The Servicer shall deposit into the Partitioned Loan Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds all payments and collections received by it on or after the Closing Date with respect to the Partitioned Loans that are Serviced Loans and related REO Properties (and the related Companion Interests) and any proceeds received from the disposition of Partitioned Loans that are Serviced Loans and related REO Properties (and the related Companion Interests), other than (x) Escrow Payments, (y) payments in the nature of Additional Master Servicing Compensation or (z) scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Closing Date and collected on or after the Closing Date, which amounts described in this clause (z) shall be remitted to the Seller.

 

-42-


Amounts in the Partitioned Loan Collection Account applicable to any Companion Interest shall not be assets of the Issuer, but instead shall be held by the Servicer on behalf of the related Companion Interest Holder.

(d) The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Partitioned Loan Collection Account only as follows (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

(i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Partitioned Loan Collection Account which was not required to be deposited therein;

Section 3.04 Eligible Investments.(a) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in one or more Eligible Investments; provided, however, that (a) any amounts held in the Collection Account or the Partitioned Loan Collection Account that are invested shall be (x) invested only in short-term Eligible Investments and (y) sold no later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Remittance Date, and (b) in all cases, such funds shall be either (i) immediately available or (ii) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer to meet its payment obligations hereunder. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Accounts as Additional Servicing Compensation or Additional Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable.

 

-44-


The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deposit from its own funds in the applicable Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss; provided, that neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account in the month in which the loss occurred and at the time such investment was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not (other than in the case of sub-clause (2) below) direct the investment of funds held in any Escrow Account and shall not retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the related Loan Documents or applicable law permit the Obligor to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein. In such event, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall direct the depository institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein (1) in accordance with the Obligor’s written investment instructions, if the Loan Documents or applicable law require such funds to be invested in accordance with the Obligor’s direction; and (2) in accordance with the written investment instructions of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest such funds in an Eligible Investment, if the Loan Documents and applicable law do not permit the related Obligor to direct the investment of such funds; provided, however, that in either event (i) such funds shall be either (y) immediately available or (z) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established, (ii) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to such written instructions, (iii) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will not be responsible for paying interest to any Obligor at a rate in excess of a reasonable and customary rate earned on similar accounts and (iv) in the absence of written investment instructions, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may maintain the funds in an interest-bearing Eligible Account.

Section 3.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. (a) The Special Servicer (only with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) or the Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Obligor of each Serviced Loan to maintain for each such Serviced Loan such insurance as is required to be maintained pursuant to the related Loan Documents. If the related Obligor fails to maintain such insurance, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer of such breach, and shall, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates and that the Issuer has an insurable interest, cause such insurance to be maintained. To the extent provided in the applicable Loan Documents, all such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses (if applicable) with loss payable to the Issuer (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Issuer), and shall be in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause. The costs of maintaining the insurance policies (including any deductible amount not required to be paid by the Obligor) which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is required to maintain pursuant to this Section shall be a Servicing Expense or, if the amount in the Collection Account or the Partitioned Loan Collection Account, as applicable, is insufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance.

 

-45-


(b) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may fulfill its obligation to maintain insurance, as provided in Section 3.05(a), through a master force placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Expense or, if the amount in the Collection Account or the Partitioned Loan Collection Account, as applicable, is insufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance; provided that such cost is limited to the incremental cost of such policy allocable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not such Mortgaged Property or REO Property is then covered thereby, which shall be paid by the Advancing Agent at the direction of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be). Such master force placed insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Advancing Agent, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the related Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master force placed insurance policy because of such deductible to the extent that such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation required under the related Loan Documents, or, in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(c) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect, or be covered by, throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, directors, officers and employees, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The form and amount of coverage shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy. Any fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance policy required under this Section 3.05(c) shall be obtained from a Qualified Insurer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term unsecured obligations or deposits of the Servicer or Special Servicer (or their respective corporate parent), as applicable, have been rated at least “A-” by Fitch and “A3” by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, an equivalent or higher rating by any two other NRSROs (which may include Fitch)), the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to provide self-insurance directly or through its parent (so long as such parent is obligated to pay the related claims), as applicable, with respect to its obligation to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy.

No provision of this Section requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, upon request, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect.

 

-46-


Section 3.06 Delivery and Possession of Servicing Files. On or before the applicable Transfer Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer (i) a Servicing File with respect to each Loan; (ii) the amounts, if any, received by the Issuer representing Escrow Payments previously made by the Obligors and (iii) if such Transfer Date is not the Closing Date, the related subsequent transfer instrument including the related amount of Retained Interest, if any. The Servicer shall promptly acknowledge receipt of the Servicing File and Escrow Payments and shall promptly deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts established pursuant to this Agreement. The contents of each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest. The Servicer’s possession of the contents of each Servicing File so delivered shall be for the sole purpose of servicing the related Loan and such possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) or the Special Servicer, and upon request of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) or the Special Servicer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, or its nominee, the Servicing File or a copy of any document contained therein; provided, however, that if the Servicer or the Special Servicer is unable to perform its Servicing obligations with respect to the related Loan as a result of any such release or delivery of the Servicing File, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable, while the related Servicing File is not in its possession, for any failure to perform any obligation hereunder with respect to the related Loan.

Section 3.07 Inspections; Financial Statements. (a) With respect to each Performing Loan, the Servicer shall perform, or cause to be performed, a physical inspection of the related Mortgaged Property (i) with respect to any Loan with a stated principal balance greater than or equal to $2,000,000, at least annually, and (ii) with respect to any Loan with a stated principal balance less than $2,000,000, at least once every 24 months, in each case, beginning in 2027 (and each Mortgaged Property shall be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2028), and, in addition, if at any time (A) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) requests such an inspection, or (B) the Servicer, with the approval of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer), determines that it is prudent to conduct such an inspection. The Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection and shall promptly deliver a copy of such report to the Issuer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer and a reasonable fee due the Servicer in connection with any such inspections (including any out-of-pocket expenses related to travel and lodging and any charges incurred through the use of a qualified third party to perform such services) shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance.

(b) With respect to a Specially Serviced Loan that is secured directly or indirectly by real property and with respect to REO Property related to a Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall perform a physical inspection of each such Mortgaged Property (i) as soon as possible after a Special Servicing Transfer Event and thereafter at least annually, and, in addition (ii) if at any time (x) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) requests such an inspection, or (y) the Special Servicer, determines that it is prudent to conduct such an inspection. The Special Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection and shall promptly deliver a copy of such report to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Collateral Manager. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Special Servicer and a reasonable fee due the Special Servicer in connection with any such inspections (including any out-of-pocket expenses related to travel and lodging and any charges incurred through the use of a qualified third party to perform such services) shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance.

Section 3.08 Exercise of Remedies upon Loan Defaults. Upon the failure of any Obligor under a Serviced Loan to make any required payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under such Serviced Loan, or otherwise to perform fully any material obligations under any of the related Loan Documents, in either case within any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall, upon discovery of such failure, promptly notify the Special Servicer, the Advancing Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Issuer in writing. As directed in writing by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) in each instance, the Special Servicer shall issue notices of default, declare events of default, declare due the entire outstanding principal balance, and otherwise take all reasonable actions consistent with the Servicing Standard under the related Loan in preparation for the Special Servicer to realize upon the related Underlying Note (or Pledged Equity, if applicable).

For any Serviced Loan additionally secured by any Pledged Equity, in lieu of exercising the rights of the lender under the Loan to foreclose on the related Mortgaged Property, subject to the rights of the Collateral Manager and any Companion Interest Holder provided hereunder, the Special Servicer may determine to exercise the rights of the lender as pledgee of the related Pledged Equity to foreclose on the Pledged Equity under the related Serviced Loan.

Section 3.09 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Due-On-Encumbrance Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions. (a) Subject to the terms of Section 2.03(d) hereof, if any Serviced Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause (including, without limitation, sales or transfers of related Mortgaged Properties or Pledged Equity (in full or part) or the sale or transfer of direct or indirect interests in the related Obligor, its subsidiaries or its owners), which by its terms:

(i) provides that such Loan will (or may at the lender’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or ownership interests in the Obligor,

(ii) provides that such Loan may not be assumed without the consent of the related lender in connection with any such sale or other transfer, or

(iii) provides that such Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the lender, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

then, subject to the terms of Section 3.09(e) and 3.23 hereof, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the Loan Documents, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall take such actions as directed by the Controlling Holder pursuant to Section 2.03(d), or if not so directed, shall enforce or waive such provision as it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Special Servicer shall not waive, without first satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, any “due-on-sale” clause under any Loan with respect to which (i) the proposed sale, transfer or assumption represents either (A) a controlling interest in the related Obligor or (B) greater than 49% of the total ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Obligor, and (ii) for which the related Collateral Interest (A) represents 5.0% or more of the principal balance of all the Collateral Interests owned by the Issuer, (B) has a principal balance of over $35,000,000 or (C) is one of the 10 largest Collateral Interests (based on principal balance) owned by the Issuer; provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to enforce any such due-on-sale clauses and in connection therewith shall not be required to (x) accelerate the payments thereon, (y) withhold its consent to such an assumption or (z) satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect thereto if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (1) that such provision is not enforceable under applicable law or the enforcement of such provision is reasonably likely to result in meritorious legal action by the related Obligor or (2) that granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, on a net present value basis (discounting at the related interest rate), than would enforcement of such clause.

 

-48-


If, notwithstanding any directions to the contrary from the Controlling Holder, the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that (A) granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, (B) such provision is not legally enforceable, or (C) that the conditions described in clause (iii) above relating to the assumption or transfer of the Loan have been satisfied, the Special Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom the related Loan (and/or interest in the related Obligor) has been or is about to be conveyed, and to release the original Obligor (and/or guarantor) from liability upon the Loan and substitute the new Obligor as obligor (and/or, if applicable to substitute a new guarantor as guarantor) thereon, provided that the credit status of the prospective new Obligor is in compliance with the Servicing Standard and criteria and the terms of the related Loan Documents. In connection with each such assumption or substitution entered into by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall give prior notice thereof to the Servicer and the Controlling Holder. The Special Servicer shall notify the Co-Issuers, the Servicer and the Controlling Holder that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Issuer (with a copy to the Servicer and the Controlling Holder) the original copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the related Collateral Interest File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Collateral Interest File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, the Special Servicer shall not approve an assumption or substitution without requiring the related Obligor to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such assumption or substitution. However, in the event that the related Obligor is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be treated as a Servicing Expense. The Special Servicer shall provide copies of any waivers of any due-on-sale clause to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Website.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 2.03(d) hereof, if any Serviced Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing of the related Obligor or the related Mortgaged Property), which by its terms:

(i) provides that such Loan shall (or may at the lender’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or Pledged Equity,

(ii) requires the consent of the related lender to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or underlying Real Property, or (iii) provides that such Mortgaged Property or Pledged Equity may be further encumbered without the consent of the lender, provided certain conditions set forth in the Loan Documents are satisfied,

 

-49-


then, subject to the terms of Section 3.09(e) and 3.23 hereof, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the Loan Documents, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall take such actions as directed by the Controlling Holder pursuant to Section 2.03(d), or if not so directed, shall enforce or waive such provision as it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that, the Special Servicer shall not waive, without first satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, any “due-on-encumbrance” clause (which the Special Servicer shall interpret, if the related Loan Documents allow such interpretation, to include requests for approval of mezzanine financing or preferred equity) with regard to any Loan for which the related Collateral Interest (A) represents 2% or more of the principal balance of all the Collateral Interests owned by the Issuer, (B) has a principal balance of over $20,000,000, (C) is one of the 10 largest Collateral Interests (based on principal balance) owned by the Issuer, (D) has an aggregate loan-to-value ratio (including existing and proposed additional debt) that is equal to or greater than 85%, or (E) has an aggregate debt service coverage ratio (including the debt service on the existing and proposed additional debt) that is less than 1.20x; provided, further that, the Special Servicer shall not be required to enforce any such due-on-encumbrance clauses and in connection therewith shall not be required to (x) accelerate the payments thereon, (y) withhold its consent to such encumbrance or (z) satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect thereto if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (1) that such provision is not enforceable under applicable law or the enforcement of such provision is reasonably likely to result in meritorious legal action by the Obligor, (2) that granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, on a net present value basis (discounting at the related interest rate), than would enforcement of such clause or (3) after giving effect to the waiver, (a) the Collateral Interest would have an aggregate loan-to-value ratio (including existing and proposed additional debt) that is equal to or less the loan-to-value ratio of the Collateral Interest immediately prior to giving effect to the waiver and (b) the Collateral Interest would have an aggregate debt service coverage ratio (including existing and proposed additional debt) that is equal to or greater than the debt service coverage ratio of the Collateral Interest immediately prior to giving effect to the waiver.

If, notwithstanding any directions to the contrary from the Controlling Holder, the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that (A) granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater recovery, (B) such provision is not legally enforceable, or (C) that the conditions described in clause (iii) above relating to the further encumbrance have been satisfied, the Special Servicer is authorized to grant such consent. To the extent not precluded by the Loan Documents, the Special Servicer shall not approve an additional encumbrance without requiring the related Obligor to pay any fees owed to the Rating Agencies associated with the approval of such lien or encumbrance. However, in the event that the related Obligor is required but fails to pay such fees, such fees shall be reimbursable as a Servicing Expense. The Special Servicer shall provide copies of any waivers of any due on encumbrance clause to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Website.

 

-50-


(c) Both the Servicer (in the case of a Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer may communicate directly with the Obligors in connection with any Other Borrower Request or Major Decision. If the Servicer receives any request for any assumption, transfer, further encumbrance or other action contemplated by this Section 3.09, the Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer for analysis and processing and the Servicer shall have no further liability or duty with respect thereto. If the Special Servicer receives any such request from an Obligor (or from the Servicer) the Special Servicer shall analyze and process the request, subject to approval by the Controlling Holder with respect to any Major Decision. Once the Special Servicer has approved the related Other Borrower Request or Major Decision, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer of such recommendation and when the related transaction closes the Special Servicer shall promptly provide the Servicer with the information necessary for the Servicer to update its records to reflect the terms of the transaction.

(d) In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Loan, other than pursuant to Section 3.15 hereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it shall not be necessary to satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect to any waivers of due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance clauses performed as Administrative Modifications or Criteria-Based Modifications.

Section 3.10 Appraisals; Realization upon Defaulted Collateral Interests. (a) Following (i) any acquisition by the Special Servicer of an REO Property on behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest, or (ii) an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer thereof, and, upon delivery of such notice, the Special Servicer shall (x) promptly, in the case of an acquisition of REO Property and (y) within 120 days, in the case of an Appraisal Reduction Event, use reasonable efforts to obtain an Updated Appraisal, in order to determine the fair market value of such REO Property or Mortgaged Property, as applicable, and shall notify the Issuer, the Servicer and the Collateral Manager of the results of such Updated Appraisal; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an Updated Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal that is less than twelve (12) months old. Any such Updated Appraisal shall be conducted by an Appraiser and the cost thereof shall be a Servicing Advance. The Special Servicer shall obtain a new Updated Appraisal or a letter update every twelve (12) months thereafter for so long as such Loan is subject to an Appraisal Reduction Event or until the REO Property is sold, as applicable.

(b) The Special Servicer shall monitor each Specially Serviced Loan, evaluate whether the causes of the Special Servicing Transfer Event can be corrected over a reasonable period without significant impairment of the value of the Loan and, subject to the rights of the Controlling Holder pursuant to Section 3.23 hereof, initiate corrective action in cooperation with the Obligor if, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, cure is likely, and take such other actions (including without limitation, negotiating and accepting a full or discounted payoff of a Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and the Specially Serviced Loan has not been released from the Issuer pursuant to any provision hereof, and except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.09(a) and 3.09(b), the Special Servicer may, to the extent consistent with an Asset Status Report and with the Servicing Standard and, subject to the rights of the Controlling Holder pursuant to Section 3.23 hereof, accelerate such Specially Serviced Loan and commence a foreclosure or other acquisition with respect to the related Loan, provided that the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such acceleration and foreclosure are more likely to produce a greater recovery to the Relevant Parties in Interest on a present value basis (discounting at the related interest rate) than would a waiver of such default or an extension or modification.

 

-51-


The Special Servicer shall notify the Advancing Agent of the need to advance the costs and expenses of any such proceedings. With respect to any Combined Loan, a Participation in a Combined Loan or a Loan with respect to which the lender has obtained a pledge of the equity interests in the borrower, in lieu of exercising the rights of the lender under the related Mortgage Loan to foreclose on the related Mortgaged Property, subject to the rights of the Controlling Holder pursuant to Section 3.23 hereof, the Special Servicer may determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to exercise the rights of the lender under the related Mezzanine Loan or equity pledge to foreclose on the equity in the Obligor under the related Mortgage Loan.

(c) If the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure or other similar proceeding related to personal property in accordance with the laws of the state where a Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Obligor or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or other similar proceeding related to personal property or if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager.

(d) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Issuer, an Issuer Subsidiary or a nominee of the Issuer (which shall not include the Servicer or the Special Servicer). Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Loan, such Loan shall be considered to be an REO Loan until such time as the Issuer’s interest in the related REO Property is sold and the REO Loan shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses (which with respect to any Loan, shall be allocated in accordance with the related Partition Agreement). Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such Loan shall be considered to be an outstanding Loan and:

(i) it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the related Underlying Note shall have been discharged, such Underlying Note and, for purposes of determining the stated principal balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title shall remain in effect; and

(ii) net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to amounts that would have been payable under the related Underlying Note(s) in accordance with the terms of such Underlying Note(s) or the related Loan Documents. In the absence of such terms, net REO Proceeds shall be deemed to have been received first, in reimbursement of Servicing Advances related to such Loan; second, in payment of Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees related to such Loan; third, in payment of the unpaid accrued interest on such Loan; fourth, in payment of outstanding principal of such Loan; and thereafter, net proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the payment of installments of principal and accrued interest deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Underlying Note(s) or related Loan Documents, net of any withholding taxes, and such amortization schedule until such principal has been paid in full and then to other amounts due under such Loan; provided that, with respect to any Loan, REO Proceeds shall be allocated in accordance with the related Partition Agreement.

 

-52-


If such net REO Proceeds exceed the Monthly Payment then payable, the excess shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect of such REO Loan.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest, obtain title to any Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect equity interest in any Obligor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of the related Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Issuer, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent environmental consultant who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:

(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Relevant Parties in Interest to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, and

(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Issuer to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgaged Property indicates that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted by an Independent environmental consultant who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of the Relevant Parties in Interest. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

(f) The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) shall be prepared within three (3) months (or as soon thereafter as practicable) of the determination that such assessment is required by an Independent environmental consultant who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the applicable Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer shall request (with a copy to the Servicer) that the Advancing Agent to advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments.

 

-53-


(g) The Special Servicer shall take such action with respect to a Mortgaged Property that is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws as is directed by the Collateral Manager; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of Section 3.23 and the Servicing Standard, if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) that any Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Issuer to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(ii) that the circumstances referred to therein relating to hazardous materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Issuer to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Relevant Parties in Interest, with the consent of the Collateral Manager. The Special Servicer shall notify the Advancing Agent of the need to advance the costs of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation as a Servicing Advance.

(h) The Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer of any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed that requires reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any such Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or foreclosed, and the Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Obligor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information, and the Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager.

(i) The costs of any Updated Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Advancing Agent as a Servicing Advance or, if determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, as a Company Administrative Expense.

Section 3.11 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Servicer and the Special Servicer (each a “Reporting Person”) shall each deliver to the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the 17g-5 Information Provider on or before April 30 of each year, beginning with April 30, 2026, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, (i) that a review of the activities of the Reporting Person during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such Officer’s supervision, and (ii) that, to the best of such Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Reporting Person has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such default known to such officer, the nature and status thereof and what action it proposes to take with respect thereto.

Delivery of the report contemplated by this Section 3.12 may be made by email.

Section 3.13 Title and Management of REO Properties and REO Accounts. (a) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Loan) is acquired (directly or through an REO Subsidiary) on behalf of the Relevant Parties in Interest in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (x) in the name of a U.S. corporation (or a limited liability company treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) wholly owned by the Issuer or (y) in such manner as is required pursuant to the terms of any related Partition Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Relevant Parties in Interest, shall dispose of any REO Property as soon after acquiring it as is practicable and feasible in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and as so advised by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) in accordance with the REIT Provisions, and the Special Servicer will have the right to transfer the equity interests in any REO Subsidiary to effect the disposition of any REO Property. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Relevant Parties in Interest solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.

(b) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the Servicing Standard, the terms of Section 3.23 hereof, and the other specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property held by or on behalf of the Issuer, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Relevant Parties in Interest and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall agree to the payment of property management fees that are consistent with general market standards.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.04. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited REO Proceeds in the REO Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such REO Proceeds, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Servicing Advances with respect to such REO Property, including:

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above (other than income taxes), the Special Servicer shall request the Advancing Agent to pay such amounts as Servicing Advances. The Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Servicer (i) for deposit into the Collection Account and (ii) for transfer to the servicer of the Companion Interests in accordance with the related Partition Agreements, on a monthly basis on or prior to the first Business Day following each Determination Date, the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property as of such Determination Date that are then on deposit in such REO Account, provided, however, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

The organizational documents for such REO Subsidiary may provide such other members or shareholders with consent, consultation and other rights substantially similar to the rights of the Companion Interest Holders under the related Partition Agreement, as the Issuer, or the Special Servicer on its behalf in accordance with the Servicing Standard, deems appropriate.

In the event that any Loan Documents (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Loan) permit or require the related Obligor to deliver additional or substitute collateral in the form of cash (“Cash Collateral”) to the holder of such Loan and such Obligor deposits such Cash Collateral with the Servicer, the Servicer shall segregate and hold such Cash Collateral separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to such Cash Collateral a segregated custodial account, which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account, to be held for the benefit of the Relevant Parties in Interest (each, a “Cash Collateral Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Situs Asset Management LLC, as Servicer, on behalf of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the TRTX 2025-FL6 Notes, other Secured Parties and the related Companion Interest Holder - Cash Collateral Account” (subject to any changes in the identities of the Servicer and/or the Trustee) or such other name as may be required pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents.

SERVICER AND SPECIAL SERVICER COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES

Section 5.01 Servicing Compensation. (a) As consideration for servicing the Loans subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee for each Serviced Loan (including any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan) remaining subject to this Agreement during any calendar month or part thereof; provided that any Servicing Fee allocable to a Companion Interest shall be payable only in respect of the principal balance of such Companion Interest and only from collections in respect of the Loan that are allocated to such Companion Interest.

 

-80-


The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly on the Remittance Date (or earlier pursuant to the related Partition Agreement) of each month and shall be computed on the basis of the same outstanding principal balance and for the period with respect to which any related interest payment on the related Serviced Loan or distribution on the related Serviced Loan is computed. The Servicer may pay itself the Servicing Fee on the Remittance Date (or earlier pursuant to the related Partition Agreement) of each month from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or such other funds permitted under the related Partition Agreement. To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on the Remittance Date are insufficient to pay the Servicing Fee allocated to any Serviced Loan or related REO Loan, the Issuer shall pay any such shortfall to the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after the Issuer’s receipt of an itemized invoice therefor. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under and as permitted pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account or the Partitioned Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 or any REO Account pursuant to Section 3.13, amounts constituting Additional Servicing Compensation with respect to the Loans.

(c) The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses related to the Servicer’s internal costs, consisting of overhead and employee costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

Section 5.02 Servicing Advances; Servicer Expenses. (a) The Special Servicer or the Servicer shall, in the first instance, have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the necessity for all Servicing Advances. With respect to the Serviced Loans only, the Advancing Agent at the direction of the Special Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, shall advance as a Servicing Advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien on a Mortgaged Property or REO Property, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Obligor (or related REO Proceeds, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Obligor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis and (iv) all other customary, reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the servicing (or special servicing, as applicable) and administering of the Serviced Loans; and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and similar items, the Advancing Agent shall not be required to make such advance until the later of (x) five (5) Business Days after the Special Servicer or the Servicer has received confirmation that such item has not been paid or (y) the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments.

 

-81-


(b) The Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager shall give the Advancing Agent, the Servicer and the Issuer no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Advancing Agent is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than twice per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Advancing Agent or the Servicer, as applicable, may pay to the Special Servicer the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request, in which case the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Any request by the Special Servicer that the Advancing Agent or the Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Advancing Agent and the Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; provided that the determination that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be binding on the Servicer or the Advancing Agent, and the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is required to be made in accordance with the Servicing Standard shall not be binding on the Servicer or the Advancing Agent.

The Servicer shall give the Advancing Agent, the Issuer and the Collateral Manager no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Advancing Agent is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Performing Loan; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than twice per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Advancing Agent may pay to the Servicer the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request, in which case the Servicer shall provide the Advancing Agent with such information in its possession as the Advancing Agent may reasonably request to enable the Advancing Agent to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Any request by the Servicer that the Advancing Agent make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; provided, that the determination that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be binding on the Advancing Agent but the Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is required to be made in accordance with the Servicing Standard is binding on the Advancing Agent.

 

-82-


(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Advancing Agent fails to make in a timely manner any Servicing Advance that the Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined is required in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and the Advancing Agent has not determined that such Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance:

(i) the Note Administrator shall (x) terminate the Advancing Agent hereunder and under the Indenture and, if the Special Servicer is an Affiliate of, or the same entity as, the Advancing Agent, terminate the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, (y) use reasonable efforts for ninety (90) days after such termination to replace the Advancing Agent hereunder and under the Indenture in accordance with the applicable procedures set forth in the Indenture, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, and (z) if the Special Servicer is an Affiliate of, or the same entity as, the Advancing Agent, terminate the Special Servicer and replace the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.03 of this Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Note Administrator shall not be responsible for making any Servicing Advance); and

(ii) within five (5) Business Days of the Servicer’s receipt of written notice of the Advancing Agent’s failure to make a required Servicing Advance that the Advancing Agent has not determined to be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall promptly make such Servicing Advance, but subject to the Servicer’s determination that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided that the Servicer shall be required to make Servicing Advances pursuant to this Section 5.02(c)(ii) only until a successor Advancing Agent is appointed, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. After the Advancing Agent has been removed pursuant to this Section 5.02(c), the Servicer shall be primarily responsible for making Servicing Advances hereunder, in the manner set forth in this Section 5.02 until a successor Advancing Agent is appointed, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. Any successor Advancing Agent’s long-term senior unsecured debt shall be rated at least “A” by Fitch (to the extent rated by Fitch) and “A2” by Moody’s, and whose short-term senior unsecured debt rating is at least “P-1” from Moody’s.

For the avoidance of doubt, in all cases the Servicer shall not be required to make any Servicing Advance on the Non-Serviced Loans.

(d) The Advancing Agent or the Servicer, as applicable, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance during the period ending on the then-current Determination Date for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed 12 months (with the consent of the Collateral Manager). If the Advancing Agent or Servicer, as applicable, makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (and interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (and interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent one-month period.

(e) On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Remittance Date, the Advancing Agent or the Special Servicer shall report to the Servicer if the Advancing Agent or the Special Servicer determines that any Servicing Advance previously made by the Advancing Agent or the Servicer is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, and such determination shall be binding upon the Servicer, but shall in no way limit the ability of the Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. All such Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Obligors and further as provided in Section 3.03(b) and Section 3.03(c).

 

-83-


(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Except as set forth in Section 5.02(c)(ii), the Servicer shall have no obligation under this Agreement to make any Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.02, the Servicer may in its reasonable judgment elect (but shall not be required) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Partitioned Loan Collection Account (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as interest collections and then from all other amounts comprising principal collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property (or REO Property) from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage or security instrument, or the loss of any security for the related Loan; provided that in each instance, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Issuer) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Relevant Parties in Interest.

(g) At such time as it is reimbursed for any Servicing Advance out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(b) or the Partitioned Loan Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(d), the Advancing Agent and the Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account or such Partitioned Loan Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b) or Section 3.03(d), as applicable, interest at the Advance Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. The Servicer shall reimburse the Advancing Agent or itself, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after receipt of payments from the related Obligor that represent reimbursement of such Servicing Advances, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and REO Proceeds of the Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property for which such Servicing Advance was made or if such Servicing Advance has been determined to be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, from general collections in respect of all of the Loans as reimbursement for such Servicing Advance.

(h) Neither the Servicer nor the Advancing Agent shall have any liability to the Relevant Parties in Interest or any other Person if its determination that a Servicing Advance made or to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance should prove to be wrong or incorrect, so long as such determination in the case of the Advancing Agent was made on a reasonable basis in good faith or, in the case of the Servicer was made in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(i) The Servicer shall not be obligated to make Interest Advances.

Section 5.03 Special Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan; provided that any Special Servicing Fee allocable to a Companion Interest shall be paid only from amounts allocated to such Companion Interest in accordance with the related Partition Agreement. As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the stated principal balance of such Specially Serviced Loan and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on an asset-by-asset basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses related to the Special Servicer’s internal costs consisting as overhead and employees expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.

(b) The Special Servicer shall be entitled to a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided that any Workout Fee allocable to a Companion Interest shall be paid only from amounts allocated to such Companion Interest in accordance with the related Partition Agreement. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Loans that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of such termination or resignation, except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing with respect to which one (1) scheduled payment has been made, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the Obligor had not had sufficient time to make three (3) consecutive timely Monthly Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Obligor making such three (3) consecutive timely Monthly Payments. The successor Special Servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees to which the predecessor Special Servicer is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds); provided that any Liquidation Fee allocable to a Companion Interest shall be paid only from amounts allocated to such Companion Interest in accordance with the related Partition Agreement. If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive only a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Loan.

 

-85-


(c) Additionally, the Special Servicer will be entitled to reimbursement of expenses, as permitted under this Agreement. In underwriting, processing and closing, any approved Obligor request, including any Administrative Modification, Criteria-Based Modification or Major Decision, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to utilize the services of the Collateral Manager and shall be entitled to make such arrangements with respect to the compensation of such parties from the related amendment fees, assumption fees, modification fees, waiver fees, consent fees and similar fees collected from the related Obligor as the Special Servicer deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the utilization of the Collateral Manager, the Special Servicer shall remain obligated to perform its duties hereunder.

(d) As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03 or any REO Account pursuant to Section 3.13, amounts constituting Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the Loans.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.01 No Assignment; Merger or Consolidation. Except as otherwise provided for in this Section or in Section 2.02 or 6.03(c), neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer may assign this Agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer or the Special Servicer may assign this Agreement to a Qualified Affiliate upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition and the written consent of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer).

The Servicer or the Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its servicing assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which it shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to its business, shall be the successor of the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the liabilities of the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder.

Section 6.02 Liability and Indemnification. None of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager nor their Affiliates nor any of the managers, members, directors, officers, employees or agents thereof shall be under any liability to either the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any third party (including the Noteholders) for taking or refraining from taking any action, in good faith pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee or any such Person will be protected against any breach of its representations or warranties (if any) made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder.

 

-86-


The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, and any director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person respecting any matters arising hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.

The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, and any member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent thereof shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer against any loss, liability or expense incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including in connection with the enforcement of such indemnity, in connection with any claim, legal action, investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, the performance hereunder or pursuant to such other Transaction Documents by, or any specific action which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee authorized, directed, requested or advised the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, to perform pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, as such are incurred, except for any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the duties of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, or breach of the Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Note Administrator’s, the Collateral Manager’s or the Trustee’s, as the case may be, representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.01. Any such indemnification shall be payable from any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (other than in the case of the Note Administrator and the Trustee) and pursuant to the Priority of Payments under the Indenture.

In the event that the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, sustains any loss, liability or expense which results from any overcharges to Obligors under the Loans, to the extent that such overcharges were collected by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and remitted to the Issuer, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall promptly remit such overcharge to the related Obligor or other Obligors after the Issuer’s receipt of written notice from the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, regarding such overcharge.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer obtains actual knowledge that it has become a Borrower Party with respect to any Serviced Loan (such Serviced Loan, an “Excluded Special Servicer Loan”), the Special Servicer will be required to resign as special servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan, and the Collateral Manager (with respect to any Controlled Collateral Interest) or the holder of the related controlling Companion Interest (with respect to any Non-Controlled Collateral Interest) will be required to use reasonable efforts to select a separate special servicer that is not a Borrower Party (an “Excluded Special Servicer”) with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan. The Special Servicer will not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. It will be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the notes and (ii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Servicer.

 

-87-


If at any time the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming an REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer will be required to resign, (2) the related Loan will no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the Special Servicer will become the special servicer again for such Loan and (4) the Special Servicer will be entitled to all Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Loan earned during such time on and after such Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

The Issuer and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, against any loss, liability or expense incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity, by reason of (i) the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the duties of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator (in each of its capacities under the Indenture), the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as applicable, hereunder or (ii) a breach of the representations and warranties of the Servicer or the Special Servicer set forth in Section 7.01.

Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Trustee and the Note Administrator from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and expenses, including the costs of enforcing this indemnity, and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as the case may be, that arise out of or are based upon the negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Each of the Trustee and the Note Administrator (in each of its capacities under the Indenture), severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and expenses, including the costs of enforcing this indemnity, and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, that arise out of or are based upon the negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Note Administrator (in each of its capacities under the Indenture), as the case may be, in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the Indenture or its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or the Indenture.

Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to each herein in connection with any matter contained in or arising under the Indenture.

 

-88-


Each of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Advancing Agent, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Special Servicer hereby agree that the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Collateral Manager in the Collateral Management Agreement in connection with any matter contained in or arising under this Agreement, subject to all of the limitations set forth in the Collateral Management Agreement.

Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay or failure in performance resulting from acts beyond its control (such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war); provided that such delay or failure is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Additionally, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for the actions or omissions of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Controlling Holder, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer (in the case of the Special Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the Servicer), and without limiting the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to verify compliance by any party hereto with the terms of the Indenture (other than itself) or to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information received by it from the Trustee or Note Administrator (or from any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to the Loans or Collateral Interests.

The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Note Administrator or the Trustee hereunder.

Section 6.03 Eligibility; Successor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer. (a) The Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer and the Special Servicer herein.

(b) (i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.03(f) and 7.03, within thirty (30) days of the Servicer or the Special Servicer receiving a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.02, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall retain a successor servicer or special servicer, as applicable (subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition), or (ii) on or after the date the Issuer receives the resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with Section 8.01(a), the resigning Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall identify and retain a successor servicer or special servicer who shall assume the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s duties pursuant to Section 6.03(c), subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. Such successor servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, shall be collectively referred to herein as “Successor.” The Successor shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, accruing after such termination or resignation; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s failure to comply with Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Successor hereunder. In its capacity as Successor, the Successor shall have the same limitation of liability herein granted to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be.

 

-89-


In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor as it and such Successor shall agree; provided, however, that no compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. If no Successor servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the Servicer or Special Servicer receives notice of termination in accordance with Section 8.01, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Successor servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Except as provided in Section 6.03(c) herein, until the Successor is appointed and has accepted such appointment, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, and shall have all the rights, benefits and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.

Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Note Administrator/Trustee Termination Event or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 7.08 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) No appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Noteholders entitled to a majority of the voting rights so request in writing to the Trustee or if the Trustee is not a Qualified Servicer, promptly appoint a Qualified Servicer as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, of all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting or is unable to act, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with any such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, the Trustee is hereby authorized to make arrangements for payment of increased compensation (including in the event that the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee is the successor Servicer or Special Servicer) at whatever market rate is reasonably necessary to identify and retain an acceptable successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such increased compensation shall be an expense of the Issuer.

Section 7.09 Closing Conditions; Issuer Covenants.

(a) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of the Agreement, the Issuer and any Companion Interest Holder shall deliver to each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, with a copy to the Note Administrator, evidence satisfactory to each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Servicer and the Special Servicer is not obligated under applicable law to withhold taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Loans or otherwise under this Agreement.

 

-101-


Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, provided it is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary at the time of the execution of this Agreement, (A) the Issuer shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, with a copy to the Note Administrator, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (B) if the Issuer ceases to be a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or entity disregarded as separate from a REIT (for U.S. federal income tax purpose), then the Issuer shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, with a copy to the Note Administrator, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8EXP, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate statements), Form W-8BEN-E or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Issuer, as evidence of such Issuer’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to the Issuer or any Companion Interest Holder until the Issuer or such Companion Interest Holder, as the case may be, shall have furnished to each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

(b) The obligations of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer under this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be subject to Issuer’s compliance with all Laws, including Anti-Terrorism Laws, and the continued truthfulness and completeness of Issuer’s representations and warranties found in Section 7.01(c)(ii) and (iii).

Section 7.10 Collateral Manager Termination Event.

As used herein, a “Collateral Manager Termination Event” means any one of the following:

(a) the Collateral Manager willfully breaches, or takes any action that the Collateral Manager knows violates, any provision of the Collateral Management Agreement, this Agreement or any terms of the Indenture applicable to it (not including a willful breach or knowing violation that results from a good faith dispute on alternative courses of action or interpretation of instructions);

(b) other than as provided under clause (a) above or clause (g) below, the Collateral Manager breaches any material provisions of the Collateral Management Agreement or any material terms of the Indenture or this Agreement applicable to the Collateral Manager and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after the Collateral Manager either has actual knowledge of such breach or is notified of such breach (or such extended period of time approved by the Issuer; provided that the Collateral Manager is diligently proceeding in good faith to cure such breach);

(c) the Collateral Manager (i) ceases to be able to, or admits in writing in a legal proceeding the Collateral Manager’s inability to, pay the Collateral Manager’s debts when and as they become due, (ii) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against the Collateral Manager of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for liquidation or takes advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up, moratorium or other similar law of any jurisdiction, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of the Collateral Manager’s creditors, (iv) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Collateral Manager or with respect to any substantial part of the Collateral Manager’s property, or (v) is adjudicated as insolvent or to be liquidated; (d) the occurrence of an act by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement or the indictment of the Collateral Manager or any of its officers or directors for a criminal offense involving an investment or investment-related business, fraud, false statements or omissions, wrongful taking of property, bribery, forgery, counterfeiting or extortion;

 

-102-


(e) other than as provided under clause (g) below, the failure of any representation, warranty, certificate or statement of the Collateral Manager in or pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, this Agreement or the Indenture to be correct in any material respect and (i) such failure has (or could reasonably be expected to have) a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Issuer and (ii) if such failure can be cured, no correction is made for 45 days after the Collateral Manager either has actual knowledge of such failure or is notified of such failure (or such extended period of time approved by the Issuer; provided that the Collateral Manager is diligently proceeding in good faith to cure such failure);

(f) the Collateral Manager consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another Person and either (i) at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person fails to or cannot assume all the obligations of the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement or (ii) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person lacks the legal capacity to perform the obligations of the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement, this Agreement and the Indenture; or

(g) the acquisition or disposition of any Collateral Interests by the Issuer in violation of the requirements of the Indenture, including the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, which violation has not been cured within 60 days after the Collateral Manager either has actual knowledge of such violation or is notified of such violation (or such extended period of time approved by the Issuer; provided that the Collateral Manager is diligently proceeding in good faith to cure such violation).

In each and every case, so long as a Collateral Manager Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Issuer may, by notice in writing to the Collateral Manager in addition to whatever rights the Issuer may have at law or in equity, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement and in and to the Loans and the proceeds thereof, without the Issuer incurring any penalty or fee of any kind whatsoever in connection therewith.

If a Collateral Manager Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager may be removed under the Collateral Management Agreement and this Agreement upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice by the Issuer or the Trustee, if a Supermajority of each Class of Notes and the Preferred Shares then Outstanding give written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Trustee directing such removal. Notice of any such removal will be delivered by the Trustee to the Servicer, the Special Servicer and Rating Agencies.

 

-103-


None of the Collateral Manager Related Parties will be entitled to vote the Notes or Preferred Shares held by any of the Collateral Manager Related Parties with respect to the removal of the Collateral Manager (or waiver of any event or circumstance constituting grounds for removal). However, at any given time, except where noted otherwise, the Collateral Manager Related Parties may vote the Notes or Preferred Shares (if any) held by them with respect to all other matters in accordance with the applicable documents. In no event will the Trustee be required to determine whether or not a Collateral Manager Termination Event has occurred for the removal of the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager cannot be removed without cause.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Issuer may waive any Collateral Manager Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Collateral Manager Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Any termination of the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be without prejudice to any rights of the Collateral Manager relating to the reimbursement of any Servicing Expense which have been made by it under the terms of this Agreement through and including the date of such termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Collateral Manager Termination Event. On or after the receipt by the Collateral Manager of written notice of its termination from the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, all authority and power of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Issuer, and the Collateral Manager agrees to cooperate with the Issuer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Collateral Manager hereunder.

No resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager will be effective unless the Collateral Manager Replacement Conditions are satisfied.

Section 7.11 Post-Closing Performance Conditions.

The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Issuer agree to cooperate with reasonable requests made by the Servicer or the Special Servicer or the Issuer, as applicable, after signing this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary for the other to comply with laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions in connection with this transaction (e.g., the USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC and related regulations).

TERMINATION; TRANSFER OF COLLATERAL INTERESTS

Section 8.01 Termination of Agreement. (a) Subject to the appointment of a Successor and the acceptance of such appointment by such Successor pursuant to Section 6.03(b), this Agreement may be terminated by the Issuer, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, with respect to any or all of the Loans only (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Servicer or without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Special Servicer or (ii) in connection with a transfer described in Section 8.02 upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. Subject to the appointment of a Successor and the acceptance of such appointment by such Successor pursuant to Section 6.03(c), the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may resign from its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to any Loans, without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Issuer.

(b) Termination pursuant to this Section or as otherwise provided herein shall be without prejudice to any rights of the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Companion Interest Holder, as the case may be, which may have accrued through the date of termination hereunder. Upon such termination, the Servicer shall (i) remit all funds in the related Accounts to the Issuer or such other Person designated by the Issuer, net of accrued Servicing Fees, Additional Servicing Compensation, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees and Servicing Advances or Servicing Expenses through the termination date to which the Servicer and/or Special Servicer would be entitled to payment or reimbursement hereunder, (ii) deliver all related Servicing Files to the successor servicer or to Persons designated by the Trustee; and (iii) fully cooperate with the Trustee, the Note Administrator and any new servicer or special servicer to effectuate an orderly transition of Servicing or Special Servicing of the related Loans. Upon such termination, any Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees, Additional Servicing Compensation, Servicing Advances (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate), Servicing Expenses (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) which remain unpaid or unreimbursed after the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has netted out such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be remitted by the Issuer to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days after the Issuer’s receipt of an itemized invoice therefor to the extent the Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated without cause.

Section 8.02 Transfer of Collateral Interests. (a) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, acknowledges that any or all of the Collateral Interests may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Issuer to any third party pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture without the consent or approval of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such transfer shall constitute a termination of this Agreement with respect to such Loan and any Companion Interest, subject to the Issuer’s notice requirements under Section 8.01(a). The Issuer acknowledges that the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to perform Servicing or Special Servicing, as applicable, with respect to such transferred Collateral Interests (or the related Loans) for any such third party unless and until the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such third party execute a servicing agreement having terms which are mutually agreeable to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and such third party; provided, however, no such third party shall be obligated to engage the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to perform Servicing or Special Servicing with respect to the transferred Collateral Interests (or the related Loans) (or be liable for any of the obligations of Issuer hereunder).

 

-105-


(b) Until the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives written notice from the Issuer of the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of one or more Collateral Interests, the Issuer shall be presumed to be the owner and holder of such Collateral Interests, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall continue to earn Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees, Additional Servicing Compensation and any other compensation hereunder with respect to such Collateral Interests (or any related Companion Interests as provided herein) and the Servicer shall continue to remit payments and other collections in respect of such Collateral Interests to the Issuer or the Note Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof.

Section 9.04 Severability of Provisions. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatever held invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements and provisions of this Agreement and such invalidity or unenforceability shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of such remaining provisions or the rights of any parties thereunder. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 9.05 Inspection and Audit Rights.

Any expense incident to the exercise by the Issuer of any right under this Section shall be borne by the Issuer.

Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart to this Agreement.

-111-


The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall keep confidential and shall not divulge to any party, without the Issuer’s prior written consent, any information pertaining to the Loans or the Obligors except to the extent that (a) it is appropriate for the Servicer and the Special Servicer to do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, other advisors, taxing authorities, regulators or other governmental agencies or in connection with performing its obligations hereunder, (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (iii) when required by any law, regulation, ordinance, administrative proceeding, governmental agency, court order or subpoena or (b) the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is disseminating general statistical information relating to the assets (including the Loans) being serviced by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, so long as the Servicer or the Special Servicer does not identify the Obligors. Unless prohibited by law, statute, rule or court order, Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Issuer of any such disclosure pursuant to clause (iii); provided, however, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall still make such disclosure absent a court order directing it to stop or terminate such disclosure.
