This Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated and effective as of [___________] [__], 20[__], between Bank of America, National Association, as seller (the “Seller” or “Bank of America”) and Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc., as purchaser (the “Purchaser” or “BAMLCM”).
The Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing properties (the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Schedule I (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) [except that the Seller will retain the master servicing rights (the “Servicing Rights”) with regard to the Mortgage Loans in its capacity as Master Servicer (as defined below) and shall enter into certain Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, all as contemplated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below)].
The Purchaser intends to transfer or cause the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to a trust (the “Trust”) created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the “Trust Fund”) will be evidenced by a series of commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”). Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by [___] and [___] (together, the “Rating Agencies”). Certain classes of the Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of [__________] [__], 201[_] (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among BAMLCM, as depositor, [________], as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), [_______], as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), and [________], as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and as REMIC administrator. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
BAMLCM intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”) and [_________] (together, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of [___________] [__], 201[_] (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among BAMLCM and the Underwriters. BAMLCM intends to sell certain of the remaining classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) to MLPF&S and [____________], as initial purchasers (together the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of [___________] [__], 201[_] (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), among BAMLCM and the Initial Purchasers. The Registered Certificates are more fully described in the prospectus dated [___________] [__], 201[_] (the “Base Prospectus”), and the supplement to the Base Prospectus dated [___________] [__], 201[_] (the “Prospectus Supplement”; and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter. The Non-Registered Certificates are more fully described in the private placement memorandum, dated [___________] [__], 201[_] (the “Memorandum”), as it may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.
The Seller will indemnify the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans and contained in the Prospectus, the Memorandum and certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of [___________] [__], 201[__] (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Seller, the Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase and Sell.
The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage Loans. The closing for the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on the Closing Date. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount agreed upon by the parties in a separate writing, which amount includes interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans on or after the Cut-off Date and takes into account credits, sales concessions and such other adjustments as agreed to between the parties in a separate writing, and which amount shall be payable on or about [___________] [__], 201[_] in immediately available funds. The Purchaser shall be entitled to all interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans on and after the Cut-off Date and all principal payments received on the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date except for principal and interest payments due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, which shall belong to the Seller.
SECTION 2. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Seller will transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after the Cut-off Date (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Seller).
(c) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or, if so directed by the Purchaser, to the Trustee or a custodian designated by the Trustee (a “Custodian”), the Mortgage File with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans; provided that the Purchaser hereby directs the Seller to prepare and the Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared (or permit the Purchaser to prepare) with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the assignments of Mortgage, assignments of Assignment of Leases and UCC financing statements on Form UCC-2 or UCC-3, as applicable, from the Seller in favor of the Trustee (in such capacity) or in blank. The Seller shall at its expense, within 45 days after the Closing Date or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, after the related date of
-2-
substitution, unless recording/filing information is not available by such time for assignments solely due to recorder’s office delay, in which case such submission shall be made promptly after such information does become available from the recorder’s office, submit or cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each assignment referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, unless recording/filing information is not available by such time for assignments solely due to recorder’s office delay, in which case such submission shall be made promptly after such information does become available from the recorder’s office. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Seller shall in each such case 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 thereafter shall in each such case, at its own expense, submit the substitute or corrected documents or cause such to be submitted for recording or filing, as appropriate.
(d) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered or caused to be delivered to the Purchaser or to its designee all of the following items: (i) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental/engineering reports, leases, rent rolls and tenant estoppels in the possession or under the control of the Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans and originals or copies of all documents, certificates, letters of credit, environmental insurance policies and related endorsements, and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loans and that are reasonably required for the ongoing administration and servicing of the Mortgage Loans (except to the extent such items represent attorney-client privileged communications and confidential credit analysis of the client or are to be retained by a sub-servicer that will continue to act on behalf of the Purchaser or its designee); and (ii) all Escrow Payments and Reserve Funds in the possession of the Seller (or under its control) with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Unless the Purchaser notifies the Seller in writing to the contrary, the designated recipient of the items described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be the Master Servicer.
(e) The Seller hereby represents that it has, on behalf of the Purchaser, delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files delivered prior to the Closing Date will be held by the Trustee in escrow at all times prior to the Closing Date. Each Mortgage File shall contain the documents set forth in the definition of Mortgage File under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(f) If the Seller is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note, it may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a lost note affidavit, and indemnity, and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document delivery requirements of Section 2(e). If the Seller cannot so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vi), (viii) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with evidence of recording or filing (if applicable, and as the case may be) thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as the case may be, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Seller as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing, has been delivered, and then subject to the
-3-
requirements of Section 4(d), the delivery requirements of Section 2(e) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File. If the Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (iv) and (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, because such document or instrument has been delivered for recording or filing, as the case may be, then subject to Section 4(d), the delivery requirements of Section 2(e) shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File. If the Seller cannot so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the Title Policy solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery requirements of Section 2(e) shall be deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; provided that the Seller, shall have delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian appointed thereby, on or before the Closing Date, a binding commitment for title insurance “marked-up” at the closing of such Mortgage Loan countersigned by the related title company or its authorized agent.
(g) In connection with its assignment of the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Seller hereby expressly assigns to or at the direction of the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders any and all rights it may have with respect to representations and warranties made by a third party originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan under the mortgage loan purchase agreement between the Seller and such third party originator that originated such Mortgage Loan pursuant to which the Seller originally acquired such Mortgage Loan from such third party originator.
(h) If and when the Seller is notified of or discovers any error in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to this Agreement as to which a Mortgage Loan is affected, the Seller shall promptly amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule and distribute such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the correction or amendment of the Mortgage Loan Schedule by itself shall not be deemed to be a cure of a Material Breach.
(i) Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Seller will report the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration referred to in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan).
(j) [The Seller agrees that (i) a [Repurchase Request Recipient] under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will not, in connection with providing the Seller with any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication or any information protected by the attorney work product doctrine, (ii) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice delivered to the Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is provided only to assist the Seller and its [Affiliates] in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation and (iii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a [Repurchase Request Recipient] and (B) no information provided to the Seller pursuant to Section [__] of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a
-4-
[Repurchase Request Recipient], shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the [Repurchase Request Recipient] may have with respect to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]
SECTION 3. Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.
The Seller shall reasonably cooperate with an examination of the Mortgage Files and Servicing Files for the Mortgage Loans that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of such Mortgage Files and/or Servicing Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s (or any other specified beneficiary’s) right to pursue any remedy available hereunder for a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4(c).
SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.
(a) The Seller hereby represents and warrants to and for the benefit of the Purchaser as of the Closing Date that:
(i) The Seller is a national banking association, duly authorized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, and the performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, will not violate the Seller’s organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets, which default or breach, in the Seller’s good faith and commercially reasonable judgment is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
(iii) The Seller has the full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium and other 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.
(v) The Seller is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Seller’s good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to
-5-
affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Seller.
(vi) No litigation is pending with regard to which the Seller has received service of process or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened against the Seller which if determined adversely to the Seller would prohibit the Seller from entering into this Agreement, or in the Seller’s good faith and reasonable judgment, would be likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the Seller.
(vii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any state or federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated herein, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders that previously have been obtained and those filings and registrations that previously have been completed, and except for those filings and recordings of loan documents and assignments thereof that are contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be completed after the Closing Date.
(b) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties contained in Schedule II (subject to any exceptions thereto listed on Schedule IIA) to and for the benefit of the Purchaser as of the Closing Date (or as of such other dates specifically provided in the particular representation and warranty), with respect to (and solely with respect to) each Mortgage Loan.
(c) Upon discovery of any Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the Purchaser or its designee shall notify the Seller thereof in writing and request that the Seller correct or cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect. Within [__] days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of written notice by the Seller that there has been a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect (such [__]-day period, the “Initial Resolution Period”), the Seller shall (i) cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, in all material respects or (ii) repurchase each affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (each, a “Defective Mortgage Loan”) at the related Purchase Price in accordance with the terms hereof and, if applicable, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with payment to be made in accordance with the reasonable directions of the Purchaser; provided that if the Seller certifies in writing to the Purchaser (i) that, as evidenced by an accompanying Opinion of Counsel, any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, does not and will not cause the Defective Mortgage Loan, to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) that such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, is capable of being corrected or cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, and (iv) that the Seller anticipates that such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, will be corrected or cured within an additional period not to exceed the Resolution Extension Period (as defined below), then the Seller shall have an additional period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure or, failing such, to repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan; and provided, further, that, if the Seller’s obligation to repurchase any Defective Mortgage Loan as a result of a
-6-
Material Breach or Material Document Defect arises within the three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing on the Closing Date if the Defective Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), and if the Defective Mortgage Loan is still subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller may, at its option, in lieu of repurchasing such Defective Mortgage Loan (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), (i) replace such Defective Mortgage Loan with one or more substitute mortgage loans that individually and collectively satisfy the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan” set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) pay any corresponding Substitution Shortfall Amount, such substitution and payment to be effected in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any such repurchase or replacement of a Defective Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it will notify the Purchaser.
For purposes of this Section 4(c), “Resolution Extension Period” shall mean:
(i) for purposes of remediating a Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the 90-day period following the end of the applicable Initial Resolution Period;
(ii) for purposes of remediating a Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan at the commencement of, and does not become a Specially Serviced Loan during, the applicable Initial Resolution Period, the period commencing at the end of the applicable Initial Resolution Period and ending on, and including, the earlier of (i) the 90th day following the end of such Initial Resolution Period and (ii) the 45th day following receipt by the Seller of written notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the occurrence of any Servicing Transfer Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the end of such Initial Resolution Period;
(iii) for purposes of remediating a Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a not a Specially Serviced Loan as of the commencement of the applicable Initial Resolution Period, but as to which a Servicing Transfer Event occurs during such Initial Resolution Period, the period commencing at the end of the applicable Initial Resolution Period and ending on, and including, the 90th day following receipt by the Seller of written notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the occurrence of such Servicing Transfer Event; and
(iv) for purposes of remediating a Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan as of the commencement of the applicable Initial Resolution Period, zero days; provided, however, if the Seller did not receive written notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the relevant Servicing Transfer Event as of the commencement of the applicable Initial Resolution Period, then such Servicing Transfer Event shall be deemed to have occurred during such
-7-
Initial Resolution Period and the immediately preceding clause (iii) of this definition will be deemed to apply.
In addition, the Seller shall have an additional 90 days to cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, provided that the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach and such failure to cure is solely the result of a delay in the return of documents from the local filing or recording authorities.
[If one or more of the Mortgage Loans constituting a Cross-Collateralized Set are the subject of a Breach or Document Defect, then, for purposes of (i) determining whether such Breach or Document Defect is a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, and (ii) the application of remedies, such Cross-Collateralized Set shall be treated as a single Mortgage Loan.
If (x) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted as contemplated in this Section 4(c), (y) such Mortgage Loan is a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or part of a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties (that provides that a property may be uncrossed from the other Mortgaged Properties) and (z) the applicable Material Breach or Material Document Defect does not constitute a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, as to any related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or applies to only specific Mortgaged Properties included in such portfolio (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Material Breach or Material Document Defect (as the case may be) will be deemed to constitute a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (as the case may be) as to any related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan and to each other Mortgaged Property included in such portfolio and the Seller shall repurchase or substitute for any related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan in the manner described above unless, in the case of a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, both of the following conditions would be satisfied if the Seller were to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or affected Mortgaged Properties as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect had occurred without regard to this paragraph: (i) the debt service coverage ratio for any remaining Cross Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or substitution is not less than the greater of (a) the debt service coverage ratio immediately prior to the repurchase, (b) the debt service coverage ratio on the Closing Date, and (c) 1.25x and (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for any remaining Cross Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties is not greater than the lesser of (a) the loan-to-value ratio immediately prior to the repurchase, (b) the loan-to-value ratio on the Closing Date, and (c) 75%. In the event that both of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence would be satisfied, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Properties as to which the Material Breach or Material Document Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for the aggregate Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties.
To the extent that the Seller repurchases or substitutes for an affected Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans, the Seller and the Depositor shall either uncross the repurchased Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan or
-8-
affected Mortgaged Property or, in the case of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral (as defined below), but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective affected Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, including, with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one party would impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties held by such party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the related loan documents can be modified to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. “Primary Collateral” shall mean the Mortgaged Property directly securing a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan excluding, however, any Mortgaged Property as to which the related lien may only be foreclosed upon by exercise of cross-collateralization of such loans.]
Whenever one or more mortgage loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 4(c), the Seller shall (i) deliver the related Mortgage File for each such substitute mortgage loan to the Purchaser or its designee, (ii) certify that such substitute mortgage loan satisfies or such substitute mortgage loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan” set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iii) send such certification to the Purchaser or its designee. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 4(c) if the Defective Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent correction or cure, in all material respects, of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the Defective Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Defective Mortgage Loan (if any) after the Cut-off Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, after the date on which it is added to the Trust Fund) and on or prior to the related date of repurchase or replacement, shall belong to the Purchaser and its successors and assigns. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Defective Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of repurchase or replacement, shall belong to the Seller.
If any Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 4, the Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to this Agreement to reflect the removal of the Defective Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) and shall forward such amended schedule to the Purchaser.
Except as set forth in Section 4(f), it is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 4(c) to cure a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect or repurchase or replace the related Defective Mortgage Loan(s) constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser with respect to any Breach or Document Defect.
-9-
It shall be a condition to any repurchase or replacement of a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Seller pursuant to this Section 4(c) that the Purchaser shall have executed and delivered such instruments of transfer or assignment then presented to it by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such Defective Mortgage Loan (including any property acquired in respect thereof or proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto), to the extent that such ownership interest was transferred to the Purchaser hereunder.
(d) Subject to the specific delivery requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if the Seller cannot deliver on the Closing Date any document that is required to be part of the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan, then:
(i) the Seller shall use diligent, good faith and commercially reasonable efforts from and after the Closing Date to obtain, and deliver to the Purchaser or its designee, all documents missing from such Mortgage File that were required to be delivered by the Seller;
(ii) the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with periodic reports regarding its efforts to complete such Mortgage File, such reports to be made on the 90th day following the Closing Date and every 90 days thereafter until the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser or its designee all documents required to be delivered by the Seller as part of such Mortgage File;
(iii) upon receipt by the Seller from the Purchaser or its designee of any notice of any remaining deficiencies to such Mortgage File as of the 90th day following the Closing Date, the Seller shall reconfirm its obligation to complete such Mortgage File and to correct all deficiencies associated therewith, and, if it fails to do so within 45 days after its receipt of such notice, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee a limited power of attorney (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser) permitting the Purchaser or its designee to execute all endorsements (without recourse) and to execute and, to the extent contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, record all instruments or transfer and assignment with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan, together with funds reasonably estimated by the Purchaser to be necessary to cover the costs of such recordation;
(iv) the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser and all parties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from the Seller’s failure to deliver all documents required to be part of such Mortgage File; and
(v) the Seller shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser and any parties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in any remedial efforts for which a Document Defect with respect to such Mortgage File would otherwise cause a delay.
(e) For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser (or with respect to any serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into another securitization, the depositor for such other securitization) and
-10-
the Trustee with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure set forth next to the Purchaser's name on the schedules pertaining to information required by Regulation AB attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within the time periods set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(f) With respect to any action taken concerning “due-on-sale” or a “due-on-encumbrance” clause as set forth in Section 3.08(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a defeasance, any fees or expenses related thereto, including any fee charged by a Rating Agency that is rendering a written confirmation, to the extent that the related loan documents do not permit the lender to require payment of such fees and expenses from the Mortgagor and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has requested that the related Mortgagor pay such fees and expenses and such Mortgagor refuses to do so, shall be paid by the Seller.
(g) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trust or otherwise have a new comfort letter issued in the name of the Trust, the Seller or its designee shall provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor within 45 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), notify the related franchisor that the Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust and request a replacement comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter), and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall require the Master Servicer to use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).
(h) The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (only to the extent that such portions relate to any Mortgage Loan) on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
SECTION 5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser.
The Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Seller that:
(i) The Purchaser is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(ii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any state or federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated herein, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders that previously have been obtained and those filings and registrations that previously have been completed, and except for those filings of loan documents and assignments thereof that are contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be completed after the Closing Date.

SECTION 16. Successors and Assigns.
The rights and obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall not be assigned by the Seller without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except that any person into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party, or any person succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Seller, shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder. In connection with its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust as contemplated by the recitals hereto, the Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the extent of any such assignment, the Trustee or its designee (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer) shall be deemed to be the Purchaser hereunder with the right for the benefit of the Certificateholders to enforce the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with the transfer of any Mortgage Loan by the Trust as contemplated by the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, is expressly authorized to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the transferee of such Mortgage Loan. To the extent of any such assignment, such transferee shall be deemed to be the Purchaser hereunder (but solely with respect to such Mortgage Loan that was transferred to it.

SECTION 18. Intention Regarding Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The parties hereto intend that the conveyance by the Seller agreed to be made hereby shall be, and be construed as a sale by the Seller of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller, as the case may be. However, in the event that notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that, (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction; and (ii) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before the Cut-off Date) and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
-17-
property, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection herewith, the Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
SECTION 19. [Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans.]
[Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged that certain groups of Mortgage Loans are, in the case of each such particular group of Mortgage Loans (each a “Cross-Collateralized Set”), by their terms, cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized. Each Cross-Collateralized Set is identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. For purposes of reference, the Mortgaged Property that relates or corresponds to any of the Mortgage Loans referred to in this Section 19 shall be the property identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as corresponding thereto. The provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto and each of the capitalized terms used but not defined herein but defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this Section 19. In addition, if there exists with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Set only one original of any document referred to in the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and covering all the Mortgage Loans in such Cross-Collateralized Set, then the inclusion of the original of such document in the Mortgage File for any of the Mortgage Loans in such Cross-Collateralized Set shall be deemed an inclusion of such original in the Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan. “Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan” shall mean any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage Loans.]
SECTION 20. Entire Agreement.
Except as specifically stated otherwise herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior understandings, written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement.

SCHEDULE II
MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
For purposes of this Schedule II, the phrase “the Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Seller regarding the matters referred to, in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except as expressly set forth herein).
Unless otherwise specified in the exceptions to the representations and warranties attached hereto, the Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date specified below or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date:
1. Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the Mortgage Loans is true, complete (in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Cut-off Date.
2. Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan. The Seller has full right, power and authority to transfer and assign each Mortgage Loan to or at the direction of the Purchaser free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, charges, security interest, participation interests and/or other interests and encumbrances. The Seller has validly and effectively conveyed to the Purchaser all legal and beneficial interest in and to each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance; provided that recording and/or filing of various transfer documents are to be completed after the Closing Date as contemplated hereby and by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or its designee does not require the Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent has not been obtained. Each Mortgage Note is, or shall be as of the Closing Date, properly endorsed to the Purchaser or its designee and each such endorsement is, or shall be as of the Closing Date, genuine.
3. Payment Record. No scheduled payment of principal and interest under any Mortgage Loan was 30 days or more past due as of the Due Date since origination, without giving effect to any applicable grace period.
4. Lien; Valid Assignment. Based on the related lender’s title insurance policy (or, if not yet issued, a pro forma title policy or a “marked-up” commitment), the Mortgage related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan constitutes a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth in Paragraph 13 below, enforceable first priority lien upon the related Mortgaged Property, prior to all other liens and encumbrances, except for: (a) the lien for current real estate taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters that are of public record and/or are referred to in the related lender’s title insurance policy (or, if not yet issued, referred to in a pro forma title policy or a “marked-up” commitment), none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the
security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, the current principal use and operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate income sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan; (c) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to in such lender’s title insurance policy (or, if not yet issued, referred to in a pro forma title policy or “marked-up” commitment), none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, the current principal use and operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate income sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, the current principal use and operation of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate income sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan; and (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property which the Seller did not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage and which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage (the foregoing items (a) through (e) being herein referred to as the “Permitted Encumbrances”). The related assignment of such Mortgage executed and delivered in favor of the Trustee is in recordable form (but for insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the Trustee.
5. Assignment of Leases and Rents. The Assignment of Leases, if any, related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and, subject to the exceptions set forth in Paragraph 13 below, enforceable assignment of or first priority lien on and security interest in, subject to applicable law, the property, rights and interests of the related Borrower described therein; and each assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related assignment of any Assignment of Leases not included in a Mortgage, executed and delivered in favor of the Trustee is in recordable form (but for insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Seller), and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Assignment of Leases from the relevant assignor to the Trustee.
6. Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. In the case of each Mortgage Loan, except by a written instrument which has been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee as a part of the related Mortgage File: (a) the related Mortgage (including any amendments or supplements thereto included in the related Mortgage File) has not been impaired, waived, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded; (b) neither the related Mortgaged Property nor any material portion thereof has been released from the lien of such Mortgage; and (c) the related Borrower has not been released from its obligations under such Mortgage, in whole or in material part, in each such event in a manner which would materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.
7. Casualty; Condemnation; Encroachments. In the case of each Mortgage Loan, except as set forth in an engineering report prepared in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan and included in the Servicing File, the related Mortgaged Property is: (a) free and clear of any damage caused by fire or other casualty which would materially and
adversely affect its value as security for such Mortgage Loan (except in any such case where an escrow of funds or insurance coverage exists reasonably estimated to be sufficient to effect the necessary repairs and maintenance), and (b) not the subject of any proceeding pending for the condemnation of all or any material portion of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan. To the Seller’s knowledge (based solely on surveys (if any) and/or the lender’s title policy (or, if not yet issued, a pro forma title policy or “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan), as of the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan: (a) all of the material improvements on the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and, to the extent in effect at the time of construction, building restriction lines of such property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the lender’s title insurance policy referred to in Paragraph 8 below or that do not materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Mortgaged Property, and (b) no improvements on adjoining properties materially encroached upon such Mortgaged Property so as to materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Mortgaged Property, except those encroachments that are insured against by the lender’s title insurance policy referred to in Paragraph 8 below.
8. Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (or an equivalent form of) lender’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy or a “marked up” commitment) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal, insuring that the related Mortgage is a valid first priority lien on such Mortgaged Property, subject only to the exceptions stated therein. 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, to the Seller’s knowledge, no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. To the Seller’s knowledge, no holder of the related Mortgage has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (including endorsement and delivery of the related Mortgage Note to the Purchaser and recording of the related Assignment of Mortgage in favor of Purchaser in the applicable real estate records), such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of the Trustee without the consent of or notice to the insurer. Such Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or it affirmatively insures (unless the related Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available), (a) access to a public road, and (b) that the area shown on the survey, if any, reviewed or prepared in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan is the same as the property legally described in the related Mortgage.
9. No Holdback. The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage 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), and there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto.
10. Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Note or Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar proceedings (as applicable for the
jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located) and, subject to the exceptions set forth in Paragraph 13 below, enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby.
11. Trustee under Deed of Trust. If the Mortgage for any Mortgage Loan is a deed of trust, then (a) a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has either been properly designated and currently so serves or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law, and (b) no fees or expenses are payable to such trustee by the Seller, the Depositor or any transferee thereof except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the related Borrower or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for such Mortgage Loan.
12. Environmental Conditions. With respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan: (a) an environmental site assessment, an environmental site assessment update or a transaction screen was performed in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan; (b) a report of each such assessment, update or screen, if any (an “Environmental Report”), is included in the Servicing File; and (c) either: (i) no such Environmental Report, if any, provides that as of the date of the report there is a material violation of applicable environmental laws with respect to any known circumstances or conditions relating to the related Mortgaged Property; or (ii) if any such Environmental Report does reveal any such circumstances or conditions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and the same have not been subsequently remediated in all material respects, then one or more of the following are true: (A) the related Borrower was required to provide additional security and/or to obtain an operations and maintenance plan, (B) the related Borrower provided a “no further action” letter or other evidence acceptable to the Seller, in its sole discretion, that applicable federal, state or local governmental authorities had no current intention of taking any action, and are not requiring any action, in respect of such condition or circumstance, (C) such conditions or circumstances were investigated further and based upon such additional investigation, an independent environmental consultant recommended no further investigation or remediation, (D) the expenditure of funds reasonably estimated to be necessary to effect such remediation is the lesser of (a) 10% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (b) two million dollars, (E) there exists an escrow of funds reasonably estimated to be sufficient for purposes of effecting such remediation, (F) the related Borrower or another responsible party is currently taking such actions, if any, with respect to such circumstances or conditions that were recommended in the environmental site assessment, (G) the related Mortgaged Property is insured under a policy of insurance, subject to certain per occurrence and aggregate limits and a deductible, against certain losses arising from such circumstances and conditions; (H) a responsible party provided a guaranty or indemnity to the related Borrower to cover the costs of any required investigation, testing, monitoring or remediation; or (I) a party or parties unrelated to the related Borrower has been identified as the responsible party for such circumstances or conditions and the Borrower is not a responsible party for such circumstances or conditions. To the Seller’s knowledge, there are no significant or material circumstances or conditions with respect to such Mortgaged Property not revealed in any such Environmental Report, where obtained, or in any Borrower questionnaire delivered to Seller at the issue of any related environmental insurance policy, if applicable, that render such Mortgaged Property in material violation of any applicable environmental laws. The Mortgage or another loan
document for each Mortgage Loan encumbering the Mortgaged Property requires the related Borrower to comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
13. Loan Document Status. Each Mortgage Note, Mortgage, and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Borrower or any guarantor of non-recourse exceptions and/or environmental liability with respect to each Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization 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 except that certain provisions in such loan documents may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b)) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such loan documents invalid as a whole or substantially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby. As of the Cut-off Date, there is no valid defense, counterclaim or right of offset, rescission, abatement or diminution available to the related Borrower with respect to such Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided thereby.
14. Insurance. Except in certain cases, where tenants, having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 or an investment grade credit rating and obligated to maintain the insurance described in this paragraph, are allowed to self-insure the related Mortgaged Properties, all improvements upon each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are insured under a fire and extended perils insurance (or the equivalent) policy in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and 100% of the replacement cost of the improvements located on the related Mortgaged Property, and if applicable, the related hazard insurance policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of co-insurance and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is the subject of a business interruption or rent loss insurance policy providing coverage greater than or equal to gross rentals for at least (A) 12 months or (B) for the restoration period plus 180 days. If any portion of the improvements on a Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan was, at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as a special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V) (an “SFH Area”), and flood insurance was available and was required to be maintained by FEMA, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis, (2) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the applicable National Flood Insurance Administration Program. All such hazard and flood insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause for the benefit of the holder of the related Mortgage, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee, and are not terminable (nor may the amount of coverage provided thereunder be reduced) without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
mortgagee; and no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not been cured. For each Mortgaged Property located in a Zone 3 or Zone 4 seismic zone, either: (i) a seismic report which indicated a PML of less than 20% was prepared, based on a 450 or 475-year look back with a 10% probability of exceedance in a 50-year period, at origination for such Mortgaged Property or (ii) the improvements for the Mortgaged Property are insured against earthquake damage. If the Mortgaged Property is located in Florida or within 25 miles of the coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina such Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm insurance in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) 100% of the full insurable value, or 100% of the replacement cost, of the improvements located on the related Mortgaged Property. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a principal balance as of the origination date that is greater than or equal to $20,000,000, the related all risk insurance policy and business interruption policy do not specifically exclude acts of terrorism from coverage. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related all risk insurance policy and business interruption policy did not as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, does not as of the date hereof, specifically exclude acts of terrorism from coverage. With respect to each of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for acts of terrorism or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercially reasonable availability. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage requires that the related Borrower or a tenant of such Borrower maintain insurance as described above or permits the mortgagee to require insurance as described above. Except under circumstances that would be reasonably acceptable to a prudent commercial mortgage lender or that would not otherwise materially and adversely affect the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage, the Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan provides that proceeds paid under any such casualty insurance policy will be applied in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents either to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or to the payment of amounts due under such Mortgage Loan; provided that the related Mortgage may entitle the related Borrower to any portion of such proceeds remaining after the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or payment of amounts due under the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that, if the related Borrower holds a leasehold interest in the related Mortgaged Property, the application of such proceeds will be subject to the terms of the related Ground Lease (as defined in Paragraph 18 below). At origination, the Seller received evidence that each Mortgaged Property was insured by a commercial general liability policy in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
15. Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent property taxes or assessments or other outstanding charges affecting any Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan that are a lien of priority equal to or higher than the lien of the related Mortgage and that are not otherwise covered by an escrow of funds sufficient to pay such charge. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be considered delinquent until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
16. Borrower Bankruptcy. At the time of origination of the subject Mortgage Loan and as of the Cut-off Date no Borrower under a Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding. As of the Closing Date, to the Seller’s
knowledge, no Borrower under a Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
17. Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based upon a letter from governmental authorities, a legal opinion, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or a representation of the related Borrower at the time of origination of the subject Mortgage Loan, or based on such other due diligence considered reasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where the subject Mortgaged Property is located, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable zoning laws and ordinances or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure (or, if any such improvement does not so comply and does not constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, such non-compliance and failure does not materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined by the appraisal performed in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan).
18. Qualified Mortgage. Such Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(a) (but without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2)). Accordingly, the Seller represents and warrants that each Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing property, and either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was the only security for such Mortgage Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such Mortgage Loan was at least equal to 80% of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the Closing Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with the Mortgage Loan, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Mortgage Loan was originated unless (a) such Mortgage Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such Mortgage Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Mortgage Loan was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Mortgage Loan has been subjected to a “significant modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Mortgage Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such Mortgage Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred. Any prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).
19. Advancement of Funds. The Seller has not advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property (other than amounts paid by the tenant as specifically provided under
the related lease), for the payment of any amount required by such Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan or the date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is later, to the date which preceded by 30 days the first due date under the related Mortgage Note.
20. No Equity Interest, Equity Participation or Contingent Interest. No Mortgage Loan contains any equity participation by the mortgagee thereunder, is convertible by its terms into an equity ownership interest in the related Mortgaged Property or the related Borrower, provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property, or provides for the negative amortization of interest.
21. Legal Proceedings. To the Seller’s knowledge, there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings by or before any court or governmental authority against or affecting the Borrower under any Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property that, if determined adversely to such Borrower or Mortgaged Property, would materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for such Mortgage Loan or the current ability of the Borrower to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan.
22. Other Mortgage Liens. None of the Mortgage Loans permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered by any mortgage lien junior to or of equal priority with the lien of the related Mortgage without the prior written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service coverage or similar criteria specified therein. To the Seller’s knowledge, none of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans is encumbered by any mortgage liens junior to or of equal priority with the liens of the related Mortgage.
23. No Mechanics’ Liens. (a) each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any related personal property) is free and clear of any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage and that are not bonded or escrowed for or covered by title insurance, and (b) no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien that would be prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage and that is not bonded or escrowed for or covered by title insurance.
24. Compliance with Usury Laws. As of its date of origination, each Mortgage Loan complied with, or was exempt from, all applicable usury laws.
25. Licenses and Permits. As of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan and based on any of: (a) a letter from governmental authorities, (b) a legal opinion, (c) an endorsement to the related Title Policy, (d) a representation of the related borrower at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan, (e) a zoning report from a zoning consultant, or (f) other due diligence that the originator of the Mortgage Loan customarily performs in the origination of comparable mortgage loans, the related Borrower was in possession of all material licenses, permits and franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related Mortgaged Property as it was then operated or such material licenses, permits and franchises have otherwise been issued.
26. Releases of Mortgaged Properties. No Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any material portion of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon (i) payment in full of all amounts due under the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) delivery of U.S. ”government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) in connection with a defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that the Mortgage Loans that are Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans and the other individual Mortgage Loans secured by multiple parcels may require the respective mortgagee(s) to grant releases of portions of the related Mortgaged Property or the release of one or more related Mortgaged Properties upon (i) the satisfaction of certain legal and underwriting requirements, (ii) the payment of a release price and, if so provided in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, prepayment consideration in connection therewith or (iii) the substitution of real property collateral; and provided, further, that any Mortgage Loan may permit the unconditional release of one or more unimproved parcels of land to which the Mortgage Loan Seller did not give any material value in underwriting the Mortgage Loan. With respect to any full or partial release or substitution of collateral, as contemplated by the provisos to the immediately preceding sentence, either: (a) such release or substitution of collateral (I) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and either (II) (a) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be “principally secured” by an interest in real property within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(7)(ii) or (iii) of the Treasury Regulations, except as may be permitted under Rev. Proc. 2010-30, 2010-36 I.R.B. 316, or (II) (b) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (b) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, condition such release or substitution of collateral on the related Borrower’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (a).
27. Defeasance. Each Mortgage Loan that contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral permits defeasance in an amount to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note either through and including the maturity date of the loan or to the first date that the Borrower can prepay the Loan without a prepayment premium (a) no earlier than two years following the Closing Date and (b) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i).
28. Defeasance Costs. If any Mortgage Loan permits defeasance, then the related Mortgage Loan documents provide that the related Borrower is responsible for the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the related mortgagee.
29. Fixed Rate Loans. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of an ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date and except for the imposition of a default rate.
30. Inspection. In connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, the related originator inspected, or caused the inspection of, the related Mortgaged Property.
31. No Material Default. To the Seller’s knowledge, there exists no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage for any
Mortgage Loan and Seller has not received notice of any event 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 under any such documents, in any such case to the extent the same materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan and/or 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 the subject matter otherwise covered by any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in this Schedule II or by the exceptions set forth on Schedule IIA.
32. Due-on-Sale. Subject to exceptions (including but not limited to existing and future mezzanine debt) mentioned in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” clause that provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the prior written consent of the holder, the Mortgaged Property subject to such Mortgage, or any controlling interest in the related Borrower, is directly or indirectly transferred or sold.
33. Single Purpose Entity. The Borrower on each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $25,000,000 or more, was, as of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, a Single Purpose Entity. For this purpose, a “Single Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents 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 Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity separate and apart from any other person.
34. Whole Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.
35. Tax Parcels.

If the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan is covered by a secured creditor impaired property policy or pollution legal liability policy, then the Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to the insurer under such policy copies of all environmental reports in the Seller’s possession related to such Mortgaged Property to the extent that the failure to deliver any such report would materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to recover under such policy.
37. Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges. Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any,
constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

40. Recourse. The related Mortgage Loan documents contain standard provisions providing for recourse against the related Borrower, a principal of such Borrower or an entity controlled by a principal of such Borrower for damages sustained in connection with the Borrower’s fraud, material misrepresentation (or, alternatively, intentional) or misappropriation of any tenant security deposits, rent, insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds. The related Mortgage Loan documents contain provisions pursuant to which the related Borrower, a principal of such Borrower or an entity controlled by a principal of such Borrower has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee for damages resulting from violations of any applicable environmental laws.
41. Assignment of Collateral. All of the Seller’s interest in any material collateral securing any Mortgage Loan has been assigned to the Purchaser.
42. Fee Simple or Leasehold Interests. The interest of the related Borrower in the Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan includes a fee simple and/or leasehold estate or interest in real property and the improvements thereon.

46. UCC Financing Statements. UCC Financing Statements have been filed and/or recoded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in all public places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property reasonably necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property owned by a Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and
leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Mortgage Loan 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, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Mortgage Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on such items of personalty except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). An assignment of each such UCC Financing Statement relating to the Mortgage Loan has been completed or will be prepared in which such Financing Statement was filed. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, 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.

Proc. 2010-30, 2010-36 I.R.B. 316), the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage require or permit the Mortgagee to apply the net proceeds of the condemnation or other similar award to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan rather than to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or to be released to the Borrower.
