MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
JOSEPH F. BIANCO, District Judge.
SC Note Acquisitions, LLC (“plaintiff’) commenced this action against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (‘Wells Fargo”), Midland Loan Services, Inc. (“Midland”), and LNR Partners, LLC (“LNR”) (collectively, “defendants”) alleging various causes of action under state law, including breach of .contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and negligence. The gravamen of plaintiffs complaint alleges that defendants, as Trustee, Master Servicer, and Special Servicer of a commercial mortgage-backed securities trust, adopted an interpretation of tax law that will cause the trust to lose the status that had allowed it to avoid paying certain taxes. However, plaintiff does not dispute that the Internal Revenue Service has not yet determined that the trust has lost this status, and the trust has not yet suffered any monetary harm as a result of defendants’ allegedly incorrect interpretation of the tax laws.
Defendants now move to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For the reasons set forth below, defendants’ motion is granted. Specifically, plaintiff has not demonstrated that this case is justiciable under Article III because the IRS has not actually determined that the trust’s tax status has been jeopardized. Accordingly, any injury suffered by plaintiff is purely hypothetical at this juncture. In addition, plaintiffs one claim that alleges wrongdoing not related to the trust’s tax liability, a breach of contract claim solely against LNR, is also dismissed because plaintiff cannot satisfy either the contemporaneous ownership rule required to bring a derivative action, or the no-action clause contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that bars lawsuits by certificateholders of the trust.
I. Background
A. Factual Background
The following facts are taken from the complaint, including documents incorporated by reference. These facts are not findings of fact by the Court. Instead, the Court assumes these facts to be true for purposes of deciding the pending motion to dismiss, and will construe them in a light most favorable to plaintiff, the non-moving party.
1. The Pooling and Services Agreement
On November 29, 2005, defendants and J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corporation (“J.P. Morgan”) executed a pooling and services agreement (the “PSA”). (Compl. ¶ 5.) Pursuant to the PSA, J.P. Morgan created a commercial mortgage-backed securitization trust called “J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-CIBC 13” (the “Trust”). (Id. ¶ 6; Decl. of Colleen M. Mallon in Supp. of Defs.’ Mot. to Dismiss Pl.’s Compl. (“Mallon Deck”) Ex. A, Pooling and Servicing Agreement.)1 The Trust is assigned various mortgage loans, [522]*522the principal balance of which exceed $2.7 billion. (Compl. ¶ 6.) Wells Fargo is the Trustee of the Trust, Midland is the Master Servicer, and LNR is the Special Servicer. (Id. ¶¶ 7-9.)
2. REMIC Status
Plaintiff alleges that “[flundamental to the economic viability of the Trust is having the Trust qualify as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit” (“REM-IC”) as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. (Id. ¶ 11.) This classification “permits the' Trust to be treated as a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes, rendering it exempt from paying income tax at the entity level on the otherwise taxable income generated from the Mortgage Loans, thus avoiding double taxation.” (Id.) Under the PSA, two REMICs were . created within the Trust, an Upper-Tier REMIC and a Lower-Tier REMIC. (Id. ¶ 13.) Section 10.01(f) of the PSA states that neither Midland nor LNR may “knowingly or intentionally take any action” or “cause the Trust Fund to take any action” that could “endanger the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC” or “result in the imposition of a tax upon the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REM-IC.” (Id. ¶ 49.)
Plaintiff claims that Wells Fargo, acting through LNR, caused the Trust to transfer certain mortgage loans to special purpose entities (“SPEs”). (Id. ¶50.) The ownership interests in these SPEs became property of the Lower-Tier REMIC. (Id. ¶ 51.) Plaintiff alleges that the' Internal Revenue Code does not permit a REMIC to own these types of assets (id. ¶ 53), and therefore, the REMICs lost their REMIC status and the Trust was rendered “economically non-viable” (id. ¶ 55). Defendants claim that plaintiff erroneously interprets the Internal Revenue Code and that the SPEs have no effect on the Trust’s status as a REMIC. (Defs.’ Mem. at 1.) Plaintiff does not dispute that the Trust has not currently , had any tax imposed on it by the IRS due to the transfer of certain loans to SPEs. Moreover, plaintiff concedes that the IRS may never determine that the Trust no longer qualifies for REMIC status.
3. Other Alleged Misconduct
The PSA also obligates defendants to administer the Trust in certain other ways. For example, LNR and Midland are required to:
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as' the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third party portfolios and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar" mortgage loans owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with a view to the maximization of timely recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on the Mortgage Loans or the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, as applicable, and the best interests of the Trust and the Certificate holders ....
(Mallon Decl. Ex. A, Pooling and Servicing Agreement, at 119; see also Compl. ¶ 25.)
Plaintiff claims that LNR’s interests conflict with the best interests of the Trust. (Compl. ¶ 26.) The complaint alleges that LNR has serviced the loans “in such a manner so as to maximize its fees regardless of the best interests of the Trust or the Certificateholders.” (Id. ¶ 32.) For example, plaintiff claims that [523]*523LNR rejected an $80 million offer to purchase the two underlying notes in a property, although LNR now anticipates that the Trust will recover less than $78 million through foreclosure or sale to another entity. (Id. ¶ 41.)
4. Plaintiffs Interest in the Trust
Plaintiff owns a minority share in a company that holds a minority interest in Philips South Beach, LLC, owner of The Shore Club Hotel in -Miami. (Id. ¶ 20.) The Trust held two promissory notes, which were secured by a mortgage on the hotel. (Id.) The mortgage went into default. (Id. ¶22.) On approximately September 14, 2009, LNR assigned all of the Trust’s interest in the loan to J.P. Morgan, thereby divesting the Trust of any interest in this loan. (Id. ¶¶ 22, 38.) In November 2010, J.P. Morgan- filed a foreclosure action on this loan in Florida state court. (See Mallon Decl. Ex. C, Docket Sheet of JPMCC 2005-CIBC13 Collins Lodging, LLC v. Philips South Beach, LLC, No. 10-61128 CA 06, 2010 WL 4317000 (Fla. 11th Judicial Circuit).)2
According to defendants, plaintiff was formed as an LLC on October 26, 2011. (See Mallon Decl. Ex. B, Articles of Organization of SC Note Acquisitions LLC.)3 Plaintiff thereafter purchased a single certificate in the Trust. Plaintiff admitted at oral argument that it purchased an interest in the trust for the purpose of bringing this lawsuit. (Oral Arg., Jul. 17, 2012, at 19 (The Court: “On the contemporaneous ownership doctrine, I don’t think you dispute the fact that essentially what your client did was purchase this interest for purposes of the lawsuit. Isn’t that pretty much — ” [Plaintiff]s Counsel]: “That’s correct.”).) •
B. Procedural History
Plaintiff commenced this action in New York State Supreme Court, Suffolk County, on January 30, 2012. On March 1, 2012, defendants removed the case to this Court. On April 2, 2012, defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs complaint. Plaintiff filed its opposition on May 2, 2012, and defendants replied on May 16, 2012. The Court held oral argument on July 17, 2012. The Court has fully considered all of the submissions of the parties.
II. Standard op Review
- In reviewing a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), the Court must accept the factual allegations set forth in the complaint as true and draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff. See Cleveland v. Caplaw Enters., 448 F.3d 518, 521 (2d Cir.2006); Nechis v. Oxford Health Plans, Inc., 421 F.3d 96, 100 (2d Cir.2005). “In order to survive a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), a complaint must allege a plausible set of facts -sufficient ‘to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.’” Operating Local 649 Annuity Trust Fund v. Smith Barney Fund Mgmt. LLC, 595 F.3d 86, 91 (2d Cir.2010) (quoting Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007)). This standard does not require “heightened fact pleading of specifics, but only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955.
[524]*524The Supreme Court clarified the appropriate pleading standard in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009), setting forth a two-pronged approach for courts deciding a motion to dismiss. The Supreme Court instructed district courts to first “identify!] pleadings that, because they are no more than conclusions, are not entitled to the assumption of truth.” Id. at 679, 129 S.Ct. 1937 (explaining that although “legal conclusions can provide the framework of a complaint, they must be supported by factual allegations”). Second, if a complaint contains “well-pleaded factual allegations, a court should assume their veracity and then determine whether they plausibly give rise to an entitlement to relief.” Id. A claim has “facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged. The plausibility standard is not akin to a ‘probability requirement,’ but it asks for more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully.” Id. at 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937 (quoting and citing Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556-57, 127 S.Ct. 1955) (internal citation omitted).
The Court notes that in adjudicating this motion, it is entitled to consider: “(1) facts alleged in the complaint and documents attached to it or incorporated in it by reference, (2) documents ‘integral’ to the complaint and relied upon in it, even if not attached or incorporated by reference, (3) documents or information contained in defendant’s motion papers if plaintiff has knowledge or possession of the material and relied on it in framing the complaint, (4) public disclosure documents required by law to be, and that have been, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (5) facts of which judicial notice may properly be taken under Rule 201 of the Federal Rules of Evidence.” In re Merrill Lynch & Co., 273 F.Supp.2d 351, 356-57 (S.D.N.Y.2003) (internal citations omitted), aff'd in part and rev’d in part on other grounds sub nom., Lentell v. Merrill Lynch Co., 396 F.3d 161 (2d Cir.2005).
III. Discussion
Defendants move to dismiss the complaint under numerous theories, including that plaintiff lacks standing to sue regarding a potential future revocation of the Trust’s tax status, that plaintiff lacks standing to bring a derivative action since plaintiff did not own shares in the Trust at the time of the alleged wrongdoing, and that plaintiff did not satisfy the requirements of the no-action clause of the PSA. For the reasons set forth below, the Court grants defendants’ motion to dismiss.
A. Standing and Ripeness
1. Legal Standard
“The jurisdiction of federal courts is defined and limited by Article III of the Constitution^ and] the judicial power of federal courts is constitutionally restricted to ‘cases’ and ‘controversies.’ ” Flast v. Cohen, 392 U.S. 83, 94, 88 S.Ct. 1942, 20 L.Ed.2d 947 (1968). “Justiciability is a term of art embracing the constitutional and related jurisprudential limitations placed upon the jurisdiction of Federal courts.” Jones v. Deutsch, 715 F.Supp. 1237, 1242 (S.D.N.Y.1989). To determine whether a case is justiciable under Article III, a court must consider the doctrines -of “ripeness, standing, mootness, advisory opinion, and political question.” Id.
Although they are separate doctrines, ripeness and standing “virtually transect one another” in this case, id., because when “measuring whether the litigant has asserted an injury that is real and concrete rather than speculative and hypothetical, [525]*525the ripeness inquiry merges almost completely with standing.” Thomas v. Anchorage Equal Rights Comm’n, 220 F.3d 1134, 1139 (9th Cir.2000) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also Brennan v. Nassau Cnty., 352 F.3d 60, 65 n. 9 (2d Cir.2003) (per curiam) (“ ‘The doctrines of ripeness and standing are intertwined____If a plaintiff has not yet suffered a concrete injury-in-fact, he or she lacks standing, even though it is possible that in the future such an injury will occur. Yet such a suit could also be said to suffer from a lack of ripeness because the circumstances have not yet developed to the point where the court can be assured that a live controversy exists.’ ” (quoting 15 James Wm. Moore, Moore’s Federal Practice § 101.71 (3d Ed. 2003)) (alteration in original)).
“It is axiomatic that ‘[tjhere are three Article III standing requirements: (1) the plaintiff must have suffered an injury-in-fact; (2) there must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct at issue; and (3) the injury must be likely to be redressed by a favorable decision.’ ” Cooper v. U.S. Postal Serv., 577 F.3d 479, 489 (2d Cir.2009) (quoting Kendall v. Emps. Ret. Plan of Avon Prods., 561 F.3d 112, 118 (2d Cir.2009) (alteration in original)); see also Lamar Adver. of Penn, LLC v. Town of Orchard Park, N.Y., 356 F.3d 365, 373 (2d Cir.2004) (“To meet Article Ill’s constitutional requirements for standing, a plaintiff must allege an actual or threatened injury to himself that is fairly traceable to the allegedly unlawful conduct of the defendant.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).
To meet Article Ill’s injury-in-fact requirement, plaintiffs alleged injury “must be ‘concrete and particularized’ as. well as ‘actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical.’ ” Baur v. Veneman, 352 F.3d 625, 632 (2d Cir.2003) (additional quotation marks omitted) (quoting Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560, 112 S.Ct. 2130, 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992)). Furthermore, the alleged injury must “affect[ ] the plaintiff in a personal and individual way to confirm that the plaintiff has a personal stake in the controversy and avoid having the federal courts serve as merely publicly funded forums for the ventilation of public grievances or the refinement of jurisprudential understanding.” Id. (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). “The party invoking federal jurisdiction bears the burden of establishing these elements,” Lujan, 504 U.S. at 561, 112 S.Ct. 2130, and the “fact of removal does not change plaintiffs’ burden as to standing,” Mann v. GTCR Golder Rauner, LLC, 483 F.Supp.2d 884, 894 (D.Ariz.2007).
In addition, for claims to be justiciable under Article III, “courts have long recognized that the controversy, as an initial matter, must be ripe.” Kittay v. Giuliani, 112 F.Supp.2d 342, 348 (S.D.N.Y.2000) (citing Marchi v. Bd. of Cooperative Educ. Servs., 173 F.3d 469, 478 (2d Cir.1999) and Thomas v. City of N.Y., 143 F.3d 31, 34 (2d Cir.1998)), aff'd, 252 F.3d 645 (2d Cir.2001). “ ‘The ripeness doctrine is drawn both from Article III limitations on judicial power and from prudential reasons for refusing to exercise jurisdiction.’ ” N.Y. Civil Liberties Union v. Grandeau, 528 F.3d 122, 130 (2d Cir.2008) (quoting Nat’l Park Hospitality Ass’n v. Dep’t of Interior, 538 U.S. 803, 808, 123 S.Ct. 2026, 155 L.Ed.2d 1017 (2003)). “Both are concerned with whether a case has been brought prematurely, but they protect against prematureness in different ways and for different reasons. The first of these ripeness requirements has as its source the Case or Controversy Clause of Article III of the Constitution, and hence goes, in a fundamental way, to the' existence of jurisdic[526]*526tion. The second is a more flexible doctrine of judicial prudence, and constitutes an important exception to the usual rule that where jurisdiction exists a federal court must exercise it.” Simmonds v. I.N.S., 326 F.3d 351, 357 (2d Cir.2003).
Although the plaintiff must independently establish that it has standing to bring this action, and that its claim is ripe, the Court will analyze these inquires together because this case concerns whether plaintiffs injury is currently concrete, and not hypothetical, which implicates both standing and ripeness. See Brooklyn Legal Servs. Corp. v. Legal Servs. Corp., 462 F.3d 219, 225-26 (2d Cir.2006) (“Because LSC’s ripeness arguments concern only that shared requirement — i.e., LSC challenges the claim’s ripeness on essentially the same grounds as those related to the plaintiffs’ standing — it follows that our analysis , of LSC’s standing challenge applies equally and interchangeably to its ripeness challenge. We therefore do not address ripeness separately,, but consider it together with, and as part of, the standing inquiry.”), abrogated on other grounds by Bond v. United States, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 2355, 180 L.Ed.2d 269 (2011); Thomas, 220 F.3d at 1138 (“The overlap between these concepts has led some legal commentators to suggest that the doctrines are often indistinguishable.”)
2. Analysis
Whether analyzed under the doctrines of standing or ripeness, plaintiff has not satisfied its burden of demonstrating that it has satisfied the case or controversy requirement of Article III. In Counts I-XIV of the complaint, plaintiff alleges that defendants’ actions have caused the Trust to lose its REMIC status. However, this injury is currently “hypothetical.” Lujan, 504 U.S. at 560, 112 S.Ct. 2130. The IRS has not determined that the Trust is no longer entitled to its REMIC status, and plaintiff has not alleged that the Trust has had any tax liability imposed upon it.
Although it does not appear that any other court has confronted this exact situation, courts have reached the same conclusion under similar circumstances. In Scanlan v. Kodak Retirement Income Plan, 678 F.Supp.2d 110 (W.D.N.Y.2010), the court held that plaintiff could not bring an action when the complaint alleged only “potential tax consequences” and relied “upon an extended series of hypothetical events.” Id. at 114. Although the plaintiff in Scanlan did not allege that the tax-status of the plan at issue was actually threatened in any way as plaintiff does here, Scanlan still demonstrates that a court cannot adjudicate a dispute where a plaintiff attempts to demonstrate injury-in-fact through potential tax liability. Similarly, in Cole v. Cook, No. 06-CV-1811, 2006 WL 3791680 (N.D.Oh. Dec. 22, 2006), the court held that plaintiff lacked standing because “[t]here is no allegation that the IRS is seeking back taxes from Plaintiffs, [ ] that it has assessed any penalties against them [or that] [t]he IRS has issued [an] adverse ruling against Plaintiffs.” Id. at *3. The court concluded that plaintiffs claim for indemnification for any negative tax consequences was “premature.” Id. This Court agrees with these determinations that a plaintiff has neither satisfied Article III standing, nor demonstrated that its claim is ripe, when an injury is “contingent [on a] future event[ ] that may not occur as anticipated, or indeed may not occur at all.” Clinton v. Acequia, Inc., 94 F.3d 568, 572 (9th Cir.1996) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted); see also Daines v. Alcatel, S.A., 105 F.Supp.2d 1153, 1156 (E.D.Wash.2000) (finding that plaintiffs claim that defendants advance plaintiff money to cover potential tax liability was “unripe” when it was “merely spec[527]*527ulative” that plaintiff would be forced to pay the taxes that defendants were contractually obligated to pay should the IRS determine plaintiff had tax liability).
At oral argument, plaintiff principally relied on two cases in support of its proposition that this case is ripe for adjudication. In Nathel v. Siegal, 592 F.Supp.2d 452 (S.D.N.Y.2008), the plaintiff sought a declaratory judgment that the defendants were liable for future (yet currently unassessed) tax penalties and for the cost of defending tax audits. Id. at 472. The court held that there was “no advantage in waiting for the proverbial ax to fall with respect to the ultimate assessment of penalties” and that the “hypothetical or uncertain nature of the IRS action is not fatal to Plaintiffs’ claim.” Id. at 473. However, Nathel is distinguishable from this action in several respects. First,' in Nathel, plaintiffs were not only undergoing audits by the IRS, but the New York State Tax^ ing Authorities had already imposed penalties. Id. Second, plaintiff here is not seeking damages for the cost of defending an audit, as the plaintiff did in Nathel. In addition, the court found that the complaint clearly demonstrated that there was a “practical likelihood” that some tax liability would be imposed. Id. By contrast, here the IRS has not begun an investigation, plaintiff has not expended any resources defending an audit, and there is no “practical likelihood” that the Trust’s REMIC status will be revoked. Accordingly, Nathel is not persuasive.
Plaintiff also relied at oral argument on Stern & Co. v. State Loan & Finance Corp., 205 F.Supp. 702 (D.Del.1962). In Stem, the plaintiff sold the defendant a business, and the defendant agreed that it would represent to the IRS that the full consideration for the purchase was in stock. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant breached the contract when the defendant claimed on a tax return that half of the price of the purchase was in consideration for a convent not to compete. Id. at 703. The court held that it may issue a declaratory judgment in a dispute involving potential tax consequences to determine whether a contract has been breached. The court stated that it “may not determine tax liability; but it may determine facts which may have a direct, even immediate, bearing on what the tax liability will be.” Id. at 706 (footnote omitted). Stem, is distinguishable because the court had to determine whether there was a breach of contract, regardless of the tax consequences, whereas here, plaintiff cannot demonstrate that a breach occurred until there are tax consequences. To the extent that Stem stands for the general proposition that a, court may entertain a breach of contract dispute although a plaintiff has not yet suffered adverse tax consequences (and therefore has not suffered an injury-in-fact), the Court no longer believes that the reasoning of Stern is good law in the wake of Lujan and its progeny.
Plaintiff argues that tax liability is imposed as a matter of law, and that defendants’ actions have already violated the PSA regardless of whether the IRS actually collects additional taxes. (See PL’s Opp’n at 13.) However, plaintiffs interpretation of tax law may be incorrect. If the Court were to allow this case to proceed prior to an IRS determination and plaintiff was victorious in this lawsuit, but the IRS later determined that defendants did not endanger the REMIC status, plaintiff would receive a windfall. The Court cannot decide a case with a hypothetical injury that may never occur. If the IRS and the Tax Court ever determine that the Trust may no longer be classified as a REMIC, plaintiff would have standing under Article III. However, until that time, plaintiff has not suffered an injury. [528]*528Moreover, plaintiff will suffer no harm by waiting for its claims to become ripe. Accordingly, Counts I-XIV of the complaint are dismissed because plaintiff has not satisfied the case or controversy requirement of Article III.
B. Contemporaneous Ownership Rule
As acknowledged by plaintiff at oral argument, Count XV is the only claim in the complaint that is not dependent upon the Trust’s REMIC status being potentially withdrawn. (See Oral Arg., Jul. Í7, 2012 at 29-31.) Count XV is a breach of contract claim solely against LNR, and alleges that LNR breached the servicing standards set forth in the PSA by “servicing the Mortgage Loans in such a manner as to maximize its own fees regardless of the best interest of the Trust or the Certificateholders____” (Compl. ¶ 147; see also id. ¶¶ 25-33, 39-41, 145-49.) However, this claim is dismissed because plaintiff does not have standing to bring it due to the contemporaneous ownership rule.
“In the context of shareholder lawsuits, an action must be asserted derivatively if the alleged injury was suffered by the corporation and thus by stockholders only through diminution in the value of their shares .... ” Dallas Cowboys Football Club, Ltd. v. Nat’l Football League Trust, 95 CIV. 9426, 1996 WL 601705, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 18, 1996) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also Ellington Credit Fund, Ltd. v. Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., 837 F.Supp.2d 162, 188 (S.D.N.Y.2011) (“It is well established in the context of shareholder, litigation that ‘where an injury is suffered by a corporation and the shareholders suffer solely through depreciation in the value of their stock, only the corporation itself, its receiver, or a stockholder suing derivatively in the name of the corporation may maintain an action against the wrongdoer.’ ” (quoting Vincel v. White Motor Corp., 521 F.2d 1113, 1118 (2d Cir.1975) (alterations omitted))). “Typically, allegations of mismanagement or breach of fiduciary duty must therefore be brought derivatively .... ” Dallas Cowboys, 1996 WL 601705, at *2 (collecting cases under New York law). Breach of contract actions must also be brought derivatively if plaintiff “cannot prevail without showing injury to the [corporation] itself.” Druck Corp. v. Macro Fund Ltd., 290 Fed.Appx. 441, 443 (2d Cir.2008).
Under both the Federal, Rules of Civil Procedure and New York law, a plaintiff does not have standing to bring a derivative suit unless she owned shares in the corporation at the time of the alleged wrongdoing. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 23.1(b)(1) (stating that a complaint must “allege that the plaintiff was a shareholder or member at the time of the transaction complained of’); N.Y. Bus. Corp. Law § 626(b) (stating that a plaintiff must be “a holder at the time of bringing the action and that he was such-a holder at the time of the transaction of which he complains”); see also In re Bank of N.Y. Derivative Litig., 320 F.3d 291, 293 (2d Cir.2003) (“[B]oth [Fed. R.Civ.P. 23.1 and N.Y. Bus. Corp. Law § 626(b) ] require that, in order to have standing to bring a shareholder derivative action, a plaintiff must have owned stock in the company at the time of the alleged wrongdoing.”).4
[529]*529The “main purpose” of the contemporaneous ownership rule is to “prevent courts from being used to litigate purchased grievances.” Id. at 297 (alterations, citation, and internal quotation marks omitted). Therefore, “a stranger to the corporation who buys stock with knowledge of the alleged wrongs may not maintain a derivative action even if the wrongs complained of are continuing wrongs .... ” Bateson v. Magna Oil Corp., 414 F.2d 128, 131 (5th Cir.1969); see also In re Omnivision Techs., Inc., Nos. C-04-2297, C-04-2443, C-04-2518, 2004 WL 2397586, at *3 (N.D.Cal. Oct. 26, 2004) (continuing harm exception only applies when “there is no evidence of an improper motive on the part of the [p]laintiffs”); Brambles USA, Inc. v. Blocker, 731 F.Supp. 643, 652 (D.Del.1990) (“As a matter of policy, one who buys shares with knowledge of a purported wrongdoing should not be permitted to bring suit to challenge that wrongdoing.”); Leventhal v. Haehl, No. 88-CV-569, 1989 WL 55972, at *2 (N.D.N.Y. May 26, 1989) (citing Bate-son and finding that plaintiff lacked standing under Rule 23.1 because he purchased his stock two weeks after the announcement of an investigation into wrongdoing).
The continuing wrong doctrine is generally considered an “equitable exception to the contemporaneous ownership rule.” In re Bank of N.Y., 320 F.3d at 298. “[W]hen a series of -wrongful transactions is alleged and some of them transpired before plaintiff became a shareholder but others took place subsequent to that date, the shareholder’s action may be maintained only on the basis of the later events.” Id. at 297 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Some courts have stated that the exception does not apply within this Circuit. See In re Facebook, Inc., IPO Sec. & Derivative Litig., Nos. Nos. 12 Civ. 4156, 12 Civ. 7549, 12 Civ. 7553, 12 Civ. 7815, 922 F.Supp.2d 445, 467, 2013 WL 525158, at *17 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 13, 2013) (stating that “this Circuit does not appear to recognize the doctrine”); Silverstein ex rel. Tetragon Fin. Grp. Ltd. v. Knief, 843 F.Supp.2d 441, 445 (S.D.N.Y.2012) (stating that the Second Circuit has “rejected] the continuing wrong doctrine adopted by some other courts”). However, the Second Circuit has stated that “the continuing -wrong doctrine is less an exception to the contemporaneous ownership rule than an expansive definition of what constitutes a ‘transaction,’ ” In re Bank of N.Y., 320 F.3d at 298 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted), and that the Circuit has interpreted the definition of transaction extremely narrowly, id. (“[W]e decline to adopt the expansive definition of the term ‘transaction’ that is inherent in the continuing wrong doctrine.”). Specifically, the Second Circuit has held that although a plaintiff need not have owned stock “in the company during the entire course of all relevant events,” a plaintiff “must have acquired his or her stock in the corporation before the core of the allegedly wrongful conduct transpired.” Id.; see also Lerner v. Al[530]*530laire, No. 02-CV-964, 2003 WL 22326504, at *3 (D.Conn. Sept. 30, 2003) (citing In re Bank of New York and holding that plaintiff did not have standing because he did not own stock in the corporation “before the ‘core’ of the wrongful conduct alleged in his complaint transpired”).
As a threshold matter, plaintiff argues that this lawsuit is not a derivative action because plaintiff is not “seeking to enforce a right of the Trust,” but is “suing in its own right as a third-party beneficiary of the PSA.” (Pl.’s Opp’n at 10.) This argument is unpersuasive. The case law is clear that an injury that is “equally applicable to all shareholders must be brought as a derivative action,” Dallas Cowboys, 1996 WL 601705 at *2 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted), even if that action is a breach of contract claim, Druck, 290 Fed.Appx. at 443. In addition, the PSA itself states that Certifieateholders may not enforce rights in the agreement unless it is “for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certifieateholders.” (Mallon Decl. Ex. A, Pooling and Servicing Agreement, at 289.) Plaintiff is not asserting that it has been uniquely injured, but that all Certifieateholders have been injured because the Trust is worth less due to defendants’ actions. Therefore, this lawsuit must be brought derivatively.
Because this is a derivative action, plaintiff must satisfy the contemporaneous ownership rule as provided under, both federal and New York law. Plaintiff was formed on October 26, 2011, and bought shares in the Trust sometime after that date. However, according to the complaint, the primary conduct for which this lawsuit was brought occurred over two years before plaintiffs formation. (Compl. ¶38.) Although the Court is analyzing whether Claim XV, which does not involve the Trust’s potential loss of REMIC status, may proceed, the Second Circuit has explicitly held that the shareholder “must have owned stock in the corporation throughout the course of the activities that constitute the primary basis of the complaint.” In re Bank of N.Y., 320 F.3d at 298 (emphasis added). Therefore, because plaintiff did not own shares in the Trust at the time of the primary alleged wrongdoing, plaintiff does not have standing to bring this derivative action.
Even assuming that the Court need only analyze whether a shareholder owned stock throughout the course of activities that constitute the primary alleged wrongdoing in a specific count of a complaint, plaintiffs claim still fails because it purchased shares in the Trust after it knew of the LNR’s alleged self-dealing. Plaintiff admitted at oral argument that this case is a purchased grievance. Therefore, even if some of the alleged wrongdoing as defined in Count XV continued after plaintiff purchased shares in the Trust, and that wrongdoing additionally satisfied the Second Circuit’s narrow definition of transaction for determining whether there has been a continuing wrong, plaintiff does not have standing under Rule 23.1 or Section 626(b) because it purchased shares in the Trust with the knowledge of LNR’s alleged wrongdoing. See Bateson, 414 F.2d at 131.
New York General Obligations Law § 13-107 is not to the contrary. Section 13-107 states that “a transfer of any bond shall vest in the transferee all claims or demands of the transferrer, whether or not such claims or demands are known to exist.” This provision was enacted so that existing claims for damages against a trustee would automatically transfer, even in the absence of an express agreement between the transferor and the transferee. See Bluebird Partners, L.P. v. First Fidel[531]*531ity Bank, N.A., 97 N.Y.2d 456, 461, 741 N.Y.S.2d 181, 767 N.E.2d 672 (2002). However, “[b]y its terms, § 13-107 is plainly limited to claims against the obligor, the indenture trustee or depositary, or the guarantor of the obligation.” Ellington Credit Fund, 837 F.Supp.2d at 183. Since LNR is not an obligor, indenture trustee, depositary, or guarantor, Section 13-107 does not invalidate the contemporaneous- ownership rule or act as a safety value to confer standing on plaintiff. Accordingly, Count XV is dismissed.
C. No-Action Clause
Even assuming arguendo that plaintiff can demonstrate that it did not know of LNR’s alleged misconduct when it became a Certificateholder, Count- XV is also' dismissed because plaintiff has not satisfied the no-action clause of the PSA.
No-action clauses are “standard provision[s]” that are present in many trust agreements. Akanthos Capital Mgmt., LLC v. CompuCredit Holdings Corp., 677 F.3d 1286, 1298 (11th Cir.2012). Such clauses state that a shareholder must satisfy certain requirements before bringing a lawsuit on behalf of the shareholders, including giving a trustee an opportunity to bring a lawsuit on behalf of the trust. “The primary purpose of a no-action clause is [] to protect issuers from, the expense involved in defending lawsuits that are either frivolous or otherwise not in the economic interest of the corporation and its creditors----They protect against the exercise of poor judgment by a single bondholder or a small group of bondholders, who might otherwise bring a suit against the issuer that most bondholders would consider not to be in their collective economic interest.” Feldbaum v. McCrory Corp., 18 Del. J. Corp. L. 630, 642 (Del.Ch. 1992) (unpublished opinion).
Courts routinely enforce these no-action clauses to bar shareholders from bringing lawsuits. See, e.g., Akanthos, 677 F.3d at 1298; Peak Partners, LP v. Republic Bank, 191 Fed.Appx. 118, 126-27 (3d Cir.2006); Ellington Credit Fund, Ltd. v. Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc., 837 F.Supp.2d 162, 187 (S.D.N.Y.2011); Walnut Place LLC v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 96 A.D.3d 684, 684-85, 948 N.Y.S.2d 580 (1st Dep’t 2012). While no-action clauses have not been enforced when they would result in the “absurdity]” of asking “the [t]rustee to sue itself,” Cruden v. Bank of N.Y., 957 F.2d 961, 968 (2d Cir.1992), these clauses have been enforced when they would require the trustee to sue one of the other managers of the trust that the trustee is required to supervise, see Ellington, 837 F.Supp.2d at 186-87.
The PSA in this case provides that “no Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement-to institute any suit” unless it: (1) gives “the Trustee and the Paying Agent a written notice of default hereunder”; (2) represents 25% of a class of Certificateholders; (3) “made written request upon the-Trustee to institute such action .... in .its own name as Trustee”; and (4) “offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as . it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein .... ” (Mallon Decl. Ex. A, Pooling and Servicing Agreement, at 289.) ■ The Certificateholder is only required to give the “notice of default,” and does not need to satisfy the other provisions, “in the case of a default by the Trustee.” (Id.) The Certificateholder is not required to give the “notice of default” if a “Responsible Officer of the Trustee [532]*532has actual knowledge” of the default. (Id. at 265.)
Plaintiff does not contend that it provided a “notice of default” to the Trustee. Instead, plaintiff claims that Wells Fargo “unquestionably had actual knowledge of the creation of the SPEs and the assignment of Mortgage Loans.” (Pl.’s Opp’n at 7.) However, plaintiffs complaint does not allege that Wells Fargo had actual knowledge of the misconduct alleged in Count XV. For this reason alone, plaintiffs claim should be dismissed as no-action clauses must be “strictly construed.” Cruden, 957 F.2d at 968.
However, even if the Trustee had actual knowledge, plaintiff would still be required to satisfy the other provisions of the no-action clause. Plaintiff claims that it was not required to do so for two reasons. First, plaintiff contends that it was not required to make a written request upon the Trustee regarding LNR’s misconduct because the Trustee was conflicted, and thus, it would result in the same “absurdity]” that the Second Circuit warned against in Cruden. (PL’s Opp’n at 6.) Second, plaintiff argues that it was not required to satisfy the other requirements of the no-action clause because there was a “default by the Trustee” which excused its performance of the requirements. (Id. at 7.) For the reasons set forth below, both of plaintiffs arguments are unpersuasive.
In Cruden, the Second Circuit stated that a shareholder is not required to ask the trustee to sue itself. 957 F.2d at-968. Plaintiff states that the same absurdity is present here because any “action taken by Wells Fargo against LNR would necessarily require that Wells Fargo confirm its own liability.” (PL’s Opp’n at 6.) That is simply not the case. The misconduct that plaintiff alleges LNR committed in Count XV does not implicate Wells Fargo in any wrongdoing. Furthermore, courts have explicitly held that it is not akin to asking the trustee to bring an action against itself when the request is to sue a servicer or another manager of the trust, even if it may implicate some misconduct by the trustee. See Peak Partners, 191 Fed.Appx. at 126-27 (holding that no-action clause barred suit against servicer for negligence); Ellington, 837 F.Supp.2d at 186-87 (holding that the no-action provision did not bar a lawsuit against the trustee but did bar a lawsuit against the servicers, and that plaintiffs’ allegation of a conflict of interest between the trustee and the servicer was “entirely conclusory”); Sterling Fed. Bank, F.S.B. v. DLJ Mortg. Capital, Inc., 09 C 6904, 2010 WL 3324705, at *5 (N.D.Ill. Aug. 20, 2010) (“There is an important difference between asking the trustee to sue itself — an ‘absurd’ requirement that we presume the parties did not intend — and asking it to sue a third party, even when the investor alleges wrongdoing by the trustee.”). Therefore, Cruden is not applicable to this action against LNR, and' plaintiff was required to request that Wells Fargo bring a suit against LNR.
Plaintiff also argues that failure to comply with the no-action clause be excused because the PSA does not require a certificateholder to comply with the 25%, written request, and indemnity provisions “in the case of a default by the Trustee.” Plaintiff argues that “such a default has occurred and has been properly pleaded here.” (PL’s Opp’n at 7.) To support this argument, however, plaintiff only cites sections of the complaint that do not relate to Count XV. Even construing plaintiffs complaint broadly, the Court cannot determine how a default by the Trustee could have occurred through LNR’s alleged wrongdoing. If this argument were permitted, then no-action clauses would never be enforced to bar lawsuits against servicers because plaintiffs’ allegations of the negli[533]*533genee itself would render the no-action clause moot. Since these no-action clauses must be “strictly construed,” Cruden, 957 F.2d at 968, and be “given a consistent, uniform interpretation,” Akanthos, 677 F.3d at 1298 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted), the Court finds that plaintiff was not excused from complying with the no-action clause in the PSA. Accordingly, Count XV is also dismissed on this alternative ground.
D. Leave to Replead
Although plaintiff has not requested leave to re-plead the complaint, the Court has considered whether plaintiff should be given an opportunity to re-plead its claims. Under Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the “court should freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)(2). However, even under this liberal standard, this Court finds that any attempt to amend the pleading in this ease would be futile. See Cuoco v. Moritsugu, 222 F.3d 99, 112 (2d Cir.2000) (“Repleading would [] be futile. Such a futile request to replead should be denied.”). As discussed in detail swpra, it is clear that Counts I-XIV are not ripe, and that no amendment to the pleading could cure that defect. As for Count XV, plaintiff has conceded that it purchased shares in the Trust'with knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing, and thus, cannot satisfy the contemporaneous ownership doctrine by amending the complaint. Moreover, no pleading could overcome the fact that plaintiff cannot bring a lawsuit against LNR due to its failure to comply with the no-action clause of the PSA. Therefore, “granting leave to amend would be unproductive and dismissal with prejudice is appropriate.” Ackermann v. Doyle, 43 F.Supp.2d 265, 275 (E.D.N.Y.1999).
IV. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint is granted in its entirety. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly and close the case.
SO ORDERED.
