Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens (a) With respect to any Shared Collateral, (i) only the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), and then only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other First Lien Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any First Lien Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable First Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens, the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent, Applicable Authorized Representative or Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Collateral Agent, Applicable Authorized Representative or Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral, or to cause the Collateral Agent to do so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any First Lien Secured Party, Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.
Right of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon Application Any indemnification claim under this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 7 hereof, shall be made no later than 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of Indemnitee, accompanied by substantiating documentation, unless a determination is made within said 30-day period that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Section 3 hereof by (a) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not or were not parties to such Proceeding, (b) a committee of the Board of Directors designated by majority vote of the Board of Directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) the stockholders. The right to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights The Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto and the Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on any acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the administration of the Obligations, any guarantee or other liability in respect thereof or any security for the Obligations or this Guarantee. When making any demand hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other guarantor or any release of the Borrower or such other guarantor shall not relieve the Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
Enforcement of the Agreement The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereto, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets (a) Borrower acknowledge that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon, among other things, the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against any Grantor or any of its subsidiaries.

Both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (as applicable in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a)) each in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and each on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Loan Documents on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers or further encumbrances of interests in the related Mortgagor, unless following receipt of a request for a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision the Master Servicer (to the extent that it is processing such request pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a), with the written consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given if not denied within 15 Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement, but in no event less than 5 Business Days after the time period set forth in such Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) after the Special Servicer’s receipt (unless earlier objected to) of the written recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer for such action and any additional information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver of such restrictions or granting of consent would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Promptly after the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer to the extent required pursuant to this Section 3.09(a)) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made any determination to grant a waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall: (1) deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other party to this Agreement and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 12.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such Officer’s Certificate shall be required to be delivered if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is granting consent to an assumption pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents and there is no material waiver of any conditions or any other provisions of the related Loan Documents with respect thereto; and (2) close the related transaction, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer obtained as described above (if the Master Servicer is processing such request), any applicable consultation rights of the Risk Retention Consultation Parties (to the extent the Risk Retention Consultation Parties have consultation rights pursuant to Section 6.09), any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor (to the extent the Operating Advisor has consultation rights pursuant to Section 3.29 or Section 6.09) and the consultation and/or consent rights (if any) of the related Directing Holder or the consultation rights of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) as provided in this Section 3.09(a), and as otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, and subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.21, 3.24, 3.25 and Section 3.28; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in (i) the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or (ii) create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. With respect to all Serviced Mortgage Loans and each Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall, prior to consenting to a proposed action of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09 that constitutes a Major Decision, and prior to itself taking such an action, obtain the written consent of any applicable Directing Holder, which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by such related Directing Holder of the Major Decision Reporting Package for such action, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the related Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
