Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation,Section 5(f) of the A/B Co-Lender Agreement), the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Noteholder) the rights, if any, that the Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Noteholder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

The Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Senior Noteholder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and the determination by the Special Servicer to sell the Lead Securitization Note in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, to sell the Lead Securitization Note and the Non-Lead Securitization Note together as notes evidencing one whole loan if the Special Servicer determines that including the Non-Lead Note in such sale is in accordance with the Servicing Standard in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell all of the Notes as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.
Each Non-Lead Securitization Noteholder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Noteholder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Noteholder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes.

14
Lead Securitization Noteholder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Noteholder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

(e) For so long as a Senior Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Senior Note and the Junior Note shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Senior Noteholder pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) the Lead Securitization Noteholder may not modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Lead Securitization Noteholder may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G 2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Senior Note (or any portion thereof).
