Liberty Island and Liberty Island Group hereby acknowledge that Liberty Island Group, as owner of a direct interest in Liberty Island, will benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Purchaser is not willing to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the agreement by Liberty Island Group to the terms hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1.Agreement to Purchase. The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on April 4, 2012 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans on or before such date, whether or not received, of $85,439,504, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between Liberty Island and the Purchaser dated the date hereof (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses
2
for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible). The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.
SECTION 2.Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to inSection 1 hereof and the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s and Liberty Island Group’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any related Additional Collateral). The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller).
After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.
(b) The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled
3
payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by WFCMSI to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated bySection 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that the security interest created under this paragraph is 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.
(c) In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant toSection 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer and other than the originals of Letters of Credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (ix)(A) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, 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, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller or title agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing (and, in the case of such clause (ii), accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent to the effect that such original Mortgage has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the
4
delivery requirements of this subsection 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; or
(ii) the original of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (iv) and (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, because such document or instrument has been delivered for recording or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller, a title agent or a recording or filing agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing and accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent that such document or instrument has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation (except that such copy and certification shall not be required if the Custodian is responsible for recordation of such document or instrument under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered the original unrecorded document or instrument to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection 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;
provided,however, that in each case the Mortgage Loan Seller shall nonetheless (1) from time to time make or cause to be made reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such document or instrument (with such evidence) if it is not returned within a reasonable period after the date when it was transmitted for recording and (2) deliver such document or instrument to the Custodian (if such document or instrument is not otherwise returned to the Custodian) promptly upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt thereof).
In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder. Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan). For purposes of thisSection 2(c), the relevant definition of “Mortgage File” shall be the definition of such term set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
(d) Pursuant toSection 2.01(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 45 days after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated bySection 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after the related date of substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received
5
by the Custodian, the Custodian is required to complete (or cause to be completed), to the extent necessary, and shall submit (or cause to be submitted) for recording or filing, as the case may be, including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Mortgage Loan Seller (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Mortgage Loan Seller (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following filing;provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original and provide such copy to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer). If any assignment or other instrument of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, pursuant to any direction received from the Custodian in connection therewith. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with recording and/or filing any and all assignments and other instruments of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be recorded or filed, as the case may be, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be responsible for costs and expenses that the related Borrowers have agreed to pay.
(e) In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant toSection 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, the following items: (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans transferred by it to the Purchaser and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any such Mortgage Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda
6
and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC Financial File and CREFC Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(f) Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified inSection 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller. In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust Fund’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.
(g) The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 15 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule;provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach.
SECTION 3.Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant toSection 4, except as expressly set forth inSection 5.
SECTION 4.Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller, Liberty Island Group and the Purchaser.

A “Defective Mortgage Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
(h) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in or made pursuant to thisSection 4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
SECTION 5.Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution.
(a) The Responsible Repurchase Parties shall, not later than 90 days from discovery by either Responsible Repurchase Party, or the receipt by either Responsible Repurchase Party of notice, of any Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is, or as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a Qualified Mortgage, and (y) a Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified inclause (x), then (z) the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall, within 90 days after discovery by such Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”) correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price;provided,however, that if either Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a Qualified Mortgage, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that
9
such Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90 day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”), then the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); andprovided,further,however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall be permitted, during the three month period following the Startup Day for the REMIC that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period following such Startup Day if the affected 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)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount. The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of either Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect. If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this subsection, the Purchaser or its designee shall be entitled to designate the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired. Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Notwithstanding this subsection, the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates any such absence or non conformity or irregularity) shall be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the Responsible Repurchase Parties to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, replace or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), in lieu of the Responsible Repurchase Parties performing their obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund, and with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the Responsible Repurchase Parties to the Purchaser that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the Responsible Repurchase Parties may elect, in their sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser;provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any
10
such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
(b) Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Parties as contemplated by thisSection 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan”.

(1) | For Mortgage Loans that currently require only payments of interest but begin to amortize prior to Stated Maturity Date. |
(2) | The prepayment provisions described in this Mortgage Loan Schedule are a general summary of the provisions of a mortgage loan that restrict the ability of the related borrower to voluntarily prepay the mortgage loan. In each case, some exceptions may apply that are not described in the general summary, such as provisions that permit a voluntary partial prepayment in connection with the release of a portion of a mortgaged property, or require the application of tenant holdback reserves to a partial prepayment, in each case notwithstanding any lockout period or yield maintenance charge that may otherwise apply. In describing Prepayment Provisions, we use the following symbols with the indicated meanings: |
• | “D(#)” means, with respect to any mortgage loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which voluntary prepayments of principal are prohibited, but the related borrower is permitted to defease that mortgage asset in order to obtain a release of the related mortgaged property. |
• | “L(#)” means, with respect to any mortgage loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which voluntary prepayments of principal are prohibited and defeasance is not permitted. |
• | “O(#)” means, with respect to any mortgage loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted without the payment of any prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment. |
• | “YM(#)” means, with respect to any mortgage loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a yield maintenance charge and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment. |
• | “D(#) or @%” means, with respect to any mortgage loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which the related borrower is permitted to defease that mortgage loan in order to obtain a release of the related mortgaged property or during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a prepayment premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount). |
• | “GRTR of @% or YM(#)” means, with respect to any mortgage loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of the greater of a yield maintenance charge and a prepayment premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount) and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment. |

Exhibit C
Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties
For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase “the Mortgage Loan 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 Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.
The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described onSchedule C to this Agreement.
1.Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the Mortgage Loan 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.
2.Ownership of Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan 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 interests, participation interests and/or other interests and encumbrances. Upon consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller will have 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. The sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or its designee does not require the Mortgage Loan Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent that has not been obtained.
3.Payment Record. As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not, and in the prior 12 months (or since the date of origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), has not been, 30 days or more past due in respect of any Monthly Payment without giving effect to any applicable grace period. If the Mortgage Loan Seller was the originator of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan has not been 60 days or more past due in respect of any Monthly Payment (without giving effect to any applicable grace period) at any time since the date of origination. If the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan has not, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s
Ex. C-1
knowledge, been 60 days or more past due in respect of any Monthly Payment (without giving effect to any applicable grace period) at any time since the date of origination.
4.Lien; Valid Assignment. The Mortgage related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan constitutes a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth inParagraph 13 below, enforceable first priority lien upon the related Mortgaged Property, prior to all other liens and encumbrances, and there are no liens and/or encumbrances that are pari passu with the lien of such Mortgage, in any event 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 are referred to in the related lender’s title insurance policy (or, if not yet issued, referred to in a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions, or a “marked-up” commitment, in each case binding upon the title insurer), none of which (individually or in the aggregate) materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, the current marketability or principal use 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, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or “marked-up” commitment, in each case binding upon the title insurer), none of which (individually or in the aggregate) materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, the current marketability or principal use 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 marketability or principal use of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate income sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan, (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property which the Mortgage Loan 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 current marketability or principal use of the related Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate income sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan, (f) condominium declarations of record and identified in such lender’s title insurance policy (or, if not yet issued, referred to in a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or “marked-up” commitment, in each case binding upon the title insurer) and (g) if such Mortgage Loan constitutes a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same Cross-Collateralized Group (the foregoing items (a) through (f) being herein referred to as the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreements, chattel mortgages or equivalent instruments and UCC Financing Statements, establishes and creates a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth inParagraph 13 below, enforceable security interest in favor of the holder thereof in all items of personal property owned by the related Borrower which are material to the conduct in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business on the related Mortgaged Property. 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 Mortgage Loan Seller). Such assignment of Mortgage (if any) constitutes a legal, valid,
Ex. C-2
binding and, subject to the exceptions set forth inParagraph 13 below, enforceable assignment of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the Trustee.
5.Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists, to be included in the related Mortgage File as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, an Assignment of Leases, either as a separate instrument or as part of the Mortgage, related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan that establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and, subject to the exceptions set forth inParagraph 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 Mortgage Loan Seller). Such assignment of Assignment of Leases (if any) constitutes a legal, valid, binding and, subject to the exceptions set forth inParagraph 13 below, enforceable assignment of such Assignment of Leases from the relevant assignor to the Trustee. The Assignment of Leases (whether as a separate instrument or as part of the Mortgage), subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, the appointment of a receiver for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.
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.Condition of Property; Condemnation. In the case of each Mortgage Loan, except as set forth in an engineering report prepared by a third party engineering consultant and included in the Servicing File and which has been delivered to the initial Subordinate Class Representative, the related Mortgaged Property is, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its value as security for such Mortgage Loan (except in any such case where: (1) an escrow of funds or insurance coverage or a letter of credit exists in an amount reasonably estimated to be sufficient to effect the necessary repairs and maintenance; or (2) such repairs and maintenance have been completed; or (3) such repairs and maintenance are required to be completed and the amount reasonably estimated to be sufficient to effect the necessary repairs and maintenance does not exceed 5% of the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan). None of the engineering reports referred to in the first sentence of thisParagraph 7 was prepared more than 18 months prior to the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, the Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any proceeding pending or written notice of any proceeding threatened for the condemnation of all or any material portion of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge (based solely on surveys (if any) and/or the
Ex. C-3
lender’s title policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan), as of the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, (a) all of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property considered material in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property at origination 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 inParagraph 8 below or that do not materially and adversely affect the value, marketability or current principal use of such Mortgaged Property, and (b) no improvements on adjoining properties 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 inParagraph 8 below.
8.Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association lender’s title insurance policy or a comparable form of lender’s title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (the “Title Policy”) (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by apro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment binding on the title insurer) 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 any Permitted Encumbrances. 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 Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, 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), the following: (a) access to a public road; and (b) that if a survey was reviewed or prepared in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the area shown on such survey 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 Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain customary and, subject to the exceptions set forth inParagraph 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
Ex. C-4
the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar proceedings (as applicable for the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located).
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 Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser or any transferee thereof except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the related Borrower or such customary fee, as may be payable, in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for such Mortgage Loan.
12.Environmental Conditions. Except in the case of the Mortgage Loans identified onSchedule C to this Agreement as Property Condition or Engineering Report Loans, where the environmental assessment with respect to lead based paint, asbestos containing materials, and radon gas was included in the Property Condition or Engineering Report, with respect to each Mortgaged Property (a) an environmental site assessment or an environmental site assessment update (each, an “Environmental Assessment”) was performed by an independent third party environmental consultant with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, (b) a report of each such Environmental Assessment or, in the case of a Property Condition or Engineering Report Loan, the applicable Property Condition or Engineering Report, if any (each, an “Environmental Report”), is dated no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the Closing Date and has been delivered to the Purchaser, 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 material violation of applicable environmental laws with respect to any known circumstances or conditions relating to the related Mortgaged Property and the same has not been subsequently remediated in all material respects, then one or more of the following are true: (A) a party or parties not related to the related Borrower was identified as a responsible party for such condition or circumstance, (B) the related Borrower was required to provide additional security in an amount reasonably estimated by the Mortgage Loan Seller to be adequate to cure the violations and/or to obtain and, for the period contemplated by the related Mortgage Loan documents, maintain an operations and maintenance plan, (C) the related Borrower provided a “no further action” letter or other evidence acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller in its reasonable business judgment, 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, (D) such conditions or circumstances were investigated further and based upon such additional investigation, a qualified environmental consultant recommended no further investigation or remediation, (E) the expenditure of funds reasonably estimated to be necessary to effect such remediation is not greater than 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (F) there exists an escrow of funds reasonably estimated by the Mortgage Loan Seller to be sufficient for purposes of effecting such remediation, (G) the related Borrower or other responsible party is currently taking such actions, if any, with respect to such circumstances or conditions as have been required by the applicable governmental regulatory authority or
Ex. C-5
recommended by the environmental site assessment, (H) 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 or (I) a responsible party provided a guaranty or indemnity to the related Borrower and/or the mortgagee to cover the costs of any required investigation, testing, monitoring or remediation and, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, such responsible party had, in the Mortgage Loan Seller’s sole discretion, an appropriate net worth, or the financial ability to pay or perform all of its obligations under such guaranty or indemnity, in light of such material violation of applicable environmental laws with respect to such known circumstances or conditions relating to the related Mortgaged Property. To the Mortgage Loan 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 Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the issuance of any related environmental insurance policy, if applicable, that render such Mortgaged Property in material violation of any applicable environmental laws. For the Mortgaged Properties identified onSchedule C (Representation 12) to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller required the related Borrower to deliver, or the Mortgage Loan Seller itself obtained, a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy naming the Mortgage Loan Seller and its successors and/or assigns as a loss payee (a “Secured Creditor Policy”) or a pollution legal liability policy naming the Mortgage Loan Seller and its successors and/or assigns as an additional insured (a “PLL Policy”; a Secured Creditor Policy or a PLL Policy, an “Environmental Policy”) (provided that a Mortgaged Property will not be identified onSchedule C (Representation 12) to this Agreement unless the applicable Environmental Policy was obtained to specifically address an environmental concern or in lieu of obtaining a Phase I environmental assessment or conducting additional environmental testing); such Environmental Policy has been issued by an insurer with a claims paying ability rating or a financial strength rating, as applicable, of no less than “AA” (or the equivalent) by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission; such Environmental Policy is in full force and effect and all premiums required to be paid in connection with the issuance of such Environmental Policy have been so paid; and either such Environmental Policy, by its terms, inures to the benefit of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan or, subject to the Seller’s compliance with this Agreement, such Environmental Policy will be assigned to the Trustee within a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date. All Environmental Reports that were in the possession of the Mortgage Loan Seller and that relate to a Mortgaged Property identified onSchedule C (Representation 12) to this Agreement have been delivered to or disclosed to the environmental insurance carrier issuing the related Environmental Policy prior to the issuance of such Environmental Policy. Each Environmental Policy covering a Mortgaged Property identified onSchedule C (Representation 12) to this Agreement that constitutes a Secured Creditor Policy is in an amount either (1) at least equal to 125% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or (2) equal to the lesser of cleanup costs and the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and, in either case, such policy has a term ending no sooner than the date which is five years after the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the Anticipated Repayment Date) of the Mortgage Loan to which it relates and either (x) does not provide for a deductible or (y) provides for a deductible and the amount of that deductible is held in escrow. Each Environmental Policy covering a Mortgaged Property identified onSchedule C (Representation 12) to this Agreement that constitutes a PLL Policy
Ex. C-6
(1) has a term that is coterminous with the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the Anticipated Repayment Date) of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) provides for a deductible in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller and (3) is in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan encumbering the related Mortgaged Property or other related loan documents require 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 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 (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) 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 (i) and (ii)) 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. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there was no valid offset, defense, counter claim or right of rescission available to the related Borrower with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counter claim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other loan documents.
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 an obligation 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 (except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances) providing coverage for at least twelve (12) months (18 months for Mortgage Loans above $35 million) (or a specified dollar amount which, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgage Loan Seller, will cover no less than twelve (12) months (18 months for Mortgage Loans above $35 million) of rental income). Set forth onSchedule C (Representation 14) to this Agreement is a list of those Mortgaged Properties as to which a tenant having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 or an investment grade rating provided self-insurance, as contemplated by the second preceding sentence, as of the date of origination of the subject Mortgage Loan. All such hazard insurance policies described above contain a standard mortgagee clause for the benefit of the holder of the related Mortgage, its successors and assigns,
Ex. C-7
as mortgagee as an additional insured in the case of liability insurance policies or as a mortgage and/or loss payee in the case of property insurance policies, and are not cancelable without prior written notice to the mortgagee for property policy and first named insured for liability policy; and no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not been cured. Except under circumstances that would be reasonably acceptable to a prudent commercial mortgage lender, the Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan provides that proceeds paid under any such casualty insurance policy will (or, at the lender’s option, will) be applied 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; and 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 inParagraph 18 below). Each Mortgage requires that the Borrower or a tenant of the Borrower maintain insurance as described above or permits the mortgagee to require insurance or self-insurance as described above, and permits the mortgagee to purchase such insurance at the Borrower’s expense if Borrower fails to do so or provides that the mortgagee has the general right to cure defaults of the Borrower. Each Mortgaged Property is also covered by comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount at least equal to $1 million. If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Borrower is required to maintain flood insurance in respect thereof to the extent such flood insurance is available.
15.Taxes and Assessments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, 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, or if there are such delinquent charges or taxes, or if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or 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. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, no Borrower under a Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, none of (x) the nonrecourse carveout guarantors or nonrecourse carveout indemnitors under the Mortgage Loan, (y) any tenant with respect to more than 75% of the net rentable area at the related Mortgaged Property that is an Affiliate of the Borrower or (z) the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property (in the case of this clause (z), if substantially all of the Mortgaged Property is leased to a single tenant and the tenant was the owner of the Mortgaged Property immediately prior to the origination of the Mortgage Loan) was then a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
Ex. C-8
17.Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related title policy, 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 (including, without limitation, when commercially reasonable, a representation of the related Borrower at the time of origination of the subject Mortgage Loan), 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 (i) the value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined by the appraisal performed in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan; or (ii) the principal use of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan). As of the date of origination, with respect to each legal non-conforming use or structure, the originator determined (based on either (x) any of a review of the applicable zoning law, a letter from a governmental authority, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related title policy or a combination of the foregoing or (y) due diligence considered reasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where the subject Mortgaged Property is located) that if a casualty occurred at that time, the Mortgaged Property could have been restored or repaired to such an extent that the use or structure of the restored or repaired property would be substantially the same use or structure, or law and ordinance insurance has been obtained, or a holdback has been established and the Borrower is required to take steps necessary to cause the Mortgaged Property to become a conforming use or structure.
18.Leasehold Estate Only. If any Mortgage Loan is secured by the interest of a Borrower as a lessee under a ground lease of all or a material portion of a Mortgaged Property (together with any and all written amendments and modifications thereof and any and all estoppels from or other agreements with the ground lessor, a “Ground Lease”), but not by the related fee interest in such Mortgaged Property or such material portion thereof (the “Fee Interest”), then:
(a) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been submitted for recording; such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; and there has been no material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since its recordation, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments which are a part of the related Mortgage File;
(b) The related lessee’s leasehold interest in the portion of the related Mortgaged Property covered by such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related Fee Interest and Permitted Encumbrances;
(c) The Borrower’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to, and is thereafter further assignable by, the Purchaser upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it either has been
Ex. C-9
obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld; provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts owed thereunder have been paid). If required by such Ground Lease, the lessor has received notice of the lien of the related Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease;
(d) The related ground lessor has agreed to provide the holder of the Mortgage Loan notice and the holder of such Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable time to cure any default or breach by the lessee thereunder, including such time as is necessary to gain possession of the Mortgaged Property, by foreclosure or otherwise, if possession is necessary to effect such cure, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(e) In connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the related ground lessor provided an estoppel to the originator confirming that the related Borrower was not then in default under such Ground Lease; such Ground Lease provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective against the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan unless a copy has been delivered to the mortgagee; the Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of default under or termination of such Ground Lease; to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease; and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
(f) Such Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by the mortgagee if it takes possession of such leasehold interest) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years if such Mortgage Loan fully or substantially amortizes by the stated maturity;
(g) Such Ground Lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with a mortgagee upon termination of such Ground Lease as a result of a rejection of such Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding involving the related Borrower, unless the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan fails to cure a curable default of the lessee under such Ground Lease following notice thereof from the lessor;
(h) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related casualty insurance proceeds with respect to the leasehold interest will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender) or (ii) to the payment of the
Ex. C-10
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon;
(i) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender on a similar mortgaged property in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan; and
(j) Such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified or any such amendment or modification will not be effective against the mortgagee without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Loan, and any such action without such consent is not binding on such mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that such mortgagee has provided the ground lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease.
19.Qualified Mortgage. Such Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a) (but without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2)).
20.Advancement of Funds. In the case of each Mortgage Loan, neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any prior holder of such Mortgage Loan has 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 a 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.
21.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, except that, in the case of an ARD Loan, such Mortgage Loan provides that, during the period commencing on or about the related Anticipated Repayment Date and continuing until such Mortgage Loan is paid in full, (a) additional interest shall accrue and may be compounded monthly and (b) a portion of the cash flow generated by such Mortgaged Property will be applied each month to pay down the principal balance thereof in addition to the principal portion of the related Monthly Payment.
22.Legal Proceedings. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there are no pending actions, suits, governmental investigations 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, the
Ex. C-11
principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents, the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan, or the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.
23.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 other underwriting criteria specified therein. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except for cases involving Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans, 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. Each of the related Mortgage Loan Documents requires the Borrower to pay all reasonable costs and expenses related to obtaining consent to an encumbrance.
24.No Mechanics’ Liens. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, 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, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, 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.
25.Compliance. Each Mortgage Loan complied with, or was exempt from, all applicable usury laws in effect at its date of origination.
26.Licenses and Permits. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, and based on any of: (i) a letter from governmental authorities, (ii) a legal opinion, (iii) an endorsement to the related Title Policy, (iv) a representation of the related borrower at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan, (v) a zoning report from a zoning consultant, or (vi) other due diligence that a commercially reasonable originator of similar mortgage loans in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located customarily performs in the origination of comparable mortgage loans, the 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, and, as of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller has no written notice that the related Borrower was not in possession of such licenses, permits and franchises or that such licenses, permits and franchises have not otherwise been issued.
27.Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized with any loan which is outside the Mortgage Pool.
28.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
Ex. C-12
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 precedingclause (a).
29.Defeasance. If such Mortgage Loan contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such Mortgage Loan either (A)(1) permits defeasance no earlier than two years after the Closing Date, (2) permits defeasance only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note and (3) has been transferred by the Mortgage Loan Seller with the intent that the defeasance provision not be utilized (x) for any reason other than to facilitate the disposition of the Mortgaged Property or any other customary commercial transaction or (y) as a part of an arrangement to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages or (B) requires that a legal opinion or opinions be delivered with respect to the defeasance that states subject to customary assumptions and qualifications that the holder of such Mortgage Loan has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral and that the defeasance will not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the “Legal Opinion”). The related Mortgage Loan Documents enable the lender to charge the Borrower for the expenses associated with permitting a defeasance and provide for the following items (or otherwise contain provisions pursuant to which the holder can require such items): (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related Mortgage Loan for the remainder of its term, (b) the Legal Opinion, and (c) a letter or other written evidence from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to the Certificates.
30.Fixed Rate Loan. 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.
Ex. C-13
31.Inspection. Each related Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf of the related originator or an affiliate during the 12 month period prior to the related origination date.
32.No Material Default. To the Mortgage Loan 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 no event has occurred which, with the passing of time or giving of notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a material default or breach; 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 Mortgage Loan Seller in thisExhibit C. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any servicer on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller has accelerated the Mortgage Loan or commenced judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Mortgage Loan.
33.Due-on-Sale. Except for transfers to specific parties that are identified and pre-approved in the Mortgage Loan Documents and except with respect to certain transfers by reason of family and estate planning and/or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters ofParagraph 28 above, each Mortgage contains a “due on sale” clause which expressly or effectively provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest of the related Mortgage Loan if, without the prior written consent of the holder of such Mortgage and/or the satisfaction of specified criteria set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the property subject to the Mortgage or any material portion thereof, or any controlling interest in the Borrower (except for a transfer of a controlling interest in the Borrower to a Person where one or more individuals specified in the Mortgage (i) own and control at least 50% of the same type of ownership interests in such Person and the Mortgaged Property as such individuals held in the original Borrower and the Mortgaged Property and (ii) such individuals continue to control the management of such Person and the Mortgaged Property), is directly or indirectly transferred or sold; provided, however, that certain Mortgage Loans provide a mechanism for the assumption of the loan by a third party upon the Borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, and upon payment of a transfer fee, if any, or transfer of interests in the Borrower or constituent entities of the Borrower to a third party or parties related to the Borrower upon the Borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.
34.Single Purpose Entity. The Borrower on each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $10,000,000 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 Mortgaged 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 Mortgaged 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, that it holds itself out as a legal entity (separate and apart from
Ex. C-14
any other person), that it will not guarantee or assume the debts of any other person, that it will not commingle assets with affiliates, and that it will not transact business with affiliates except on an arm’s-length basis.
35.Whole Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.
36.Security Interests in Hospitality Properties. If any Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is operated as a hospitality property then (a) the security agreements, financing statements or other instruments, if any, related to the Mortgage Loan secured by such Mortgaged Property establish and create a valid and enforceable (subject to the exceptions set forth inParagraph 13 above) first priority security interest in all items of personal property owned by the related Borrower which are material to the conduct in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business on the related Mortgaged Property, subject only to purchase money security interests, personal property leases and security interests to secure revolving lines of credit and similar financing; and (b) one or more Uniform Commercial Code financing statements covering such personal property have been filed or recorded (or have been sent for filing or recording) wherever necessary to perfect under applicable law such security interests (to the extent a security interest in such personal property can be perfected by the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement under applicable law). The related assignment of such security interest (but for insertion of the name of the assignee and any related information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) executed and delivered in favor of the Trustee constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment thereof from the relevant assignor to the Trustee.
37.Prepayment Premiums. Prepayment Premiums payable with respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any, constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).
38.Recourse. The related Mortgage Loan Documents contain provisions providing for recourse against the related Borrower, a principal of such Borrower or an entity controlled by a principal of such Borrower, or a natural person, for damages sustained in connection with the Borrower’s fraud, willful misrepresentation (unless the Mortgage Loan Documents refer to material misrepresentation without also referring to willful misrepresentation), failure to deliver insurance or condemnation proceeds or awards or security deposits to lender or to apply such sums as required under the Mortgage Loan Documents, failure to apply rents and other income during a default or after acceleration to either amounts owing under the loan or normal and necessary operating expenses of the property or commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property. 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, or a natural person, has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee for damages resulting from violations of any applicable environmental covenants.
39.Assignment of Collateral. There is no material collateral securing any Mortgage Loan that has not been assigned to the Purchaser.
Ex. C-15
40.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.
41.Escrows. All escrow deposits (including capital improvements, environmental remediation reserves and other reserve deposits, if any) relating to any Mortgage Loan that were required to be delivered to the lender under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, have been received and, to the extent of any remaining balances of such escrow deposits, are in the possession or under the control of Mortgage Loan Seller or its agents (which shall include the applicable Master Servicer). All such escrow deposits which are required for the administration and servicing of such Mortgage Loan are conveyed hereunder to the Purchaser. Any and all material requirements under each Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursement of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Closing Date, have been complied with in all material respects or, if and to the extent not so complied with, the escrowed funds (or an allocable portion thereof) have not been released except in accordance with the terms of the related loan documents.
42.Operating Statements. In the case of each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Documents require the related Borrower, in some cases at the request of the lender, to provide to the holder of such Mortgage Loan operating statements and rent rolls not less frequently than quarterly and annually and financial statements of the Borrower not less frequently than annually (except if the Mortgage Loan has an outstanding principal balance of less than or equal to $4,000,000 as of the Cut-off Date or the related Mortgaged Property has only one tenant, in either of which cases the Mortgage Loan Documents require the Borrower, in some cases at the request of the lender, to provide to the holder of such Mortgage Loan operating statements and (if there is more than one tenant) rent rolls and/or financial statements of the Borrower annually), and such other information as may be required therein.
43.Appraisals. An appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, which appraisal is signed by an appraiser, who, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.
44.No Capital Contributions. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no obligation to make any capital contributions to the related Borrower under the Mortgage Loan.
45.Grace Periods. The related Mortgage or Mortgage Note provides a grace period for Monthly Payments no longer than ten (10) days from the applicable Due Date.
46.Access Routes. Based solely on surveys, title insurance reports, the Title Policy, the engineering report, the appraisal and/or other relevant documents included in the
Ex. C-16
Mortgage File, at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property had access to a public road.
47.Tax Parcels. Each Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring same, or in certain instances an application has been made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part.
48.Loan Servicing. The servicing practices used with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper, and prudent.
49.Terrorism Insurance. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off 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 or a separate policy has been obtained covering acts of terrorism. As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan the related all risk insurance policy and business interruption policy did not, and as of the date hereof, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, the related all risk insurance policy and business interruption policy does not, specifically exclude acts of terrorism from coverage. The knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller referred to in the preceding sentence is based on the procedures described onSchedule C hereto. 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, or as otherwise indicated onSchedule C to this Agreement.
50.Mortgaged Property Release upon Condemnation. In the event of a taking of any portion of the Mortgaged Property by a state, political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by condemnation, similar legal proceeding or by agreement in anticipation of such condemnation or other similar legal proceeding, if immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration), the Mortgage Loan would no longer be “principally secured by an interest in real property” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(7) of the Treasury Regulations (except as may be permitted by Rev. 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 an amount equal to 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.
