It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian was under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose (including with respect to Section 2.01(a)(vi), whether such title insurance policy insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien) or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(a)(iv). Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Seller and the Servicer a final certification in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (the “Final Certification”) evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Custodian or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, respectively, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement against the Originator or the Seller, respectively, shall be effected by the Trustee. The Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the Person against which such enforcement is directed; provided, however, if the sources of reimbursement described in clauses (i) and (ii) are insufficient, the Trustee may seek reimbursement for any remaining unreimbursed costs of such enforcement from the Trust Fund as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.
REMIC Election for REMIC I The Tax Matters Person, shall, on behalf of REMIC I, elect to treat REMIC I as a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066 and any appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC I for its first taxable year. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to REMIC I are hereby designated as “regular interests” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class R-1 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of “residual interest” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. The REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest shall together be deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust consisting of the REMIC I Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute. The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC I shall constitute, and that the affairs of REMIC I shall be conducted so as to qualify REMIC I as a REMIC. In furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC I: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax return using a calendar year as the taxable year and using an accrual method of accounting for REMIC I when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of the trust, for REMIC I to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of REMIC I for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, and make available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC I at all times that any REMIC I Regular Interests are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC I as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (e) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC I; and (f) pay the amount of any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC I when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by REMIC I for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company’s failure to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Company with such information in the possession of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, respectively, as the Company may from time to time request for the purpose of enabling the Company to prepare tax returns. In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect which, had such defect been discovered before the startup day, would have prevented such Mortgage Loan from being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the Company does not repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within 90 days of the date such defect is discovered sell such Mortgage Loan at such price as the Master Servicer in its sole discretion, determines to be the greatest price that will result in the purchase thereof within 90 days of such date, unless the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan will not adversely affect the status of the electing portion of REMIC I as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.

Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans (a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1 and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Initial Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Final Certification with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases an Initial Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Upon delivery of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans pursuant to a Supplemental Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of the documents identified in any Supplemental Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 and declare that it will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies. The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Supplemental Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Supplemental Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Supplemental Certification, the Trustee shall acknowledge that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Supplemental Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. On or about the twentieth (20th) day after the Supplemental Transfer Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Not later than 90 days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Final Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-2, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N.

The Master Servicer shall provide the contact name, mailing address and e-mail address of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator to the extent not previously provided thereto, provided that the Master Servicer has such information.

With respect to the documents described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) delivered in this Section 2.02(c) or to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(b), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan includes a separate Assignment of Leases. With respect to the documents described in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.02(c), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan should include a copy of one state-level UCC Financing Statement filed in the state of incorporation or organization of the related Borrower for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Borrowers, for each related Borrower). To the extent appropriate under applicable law, the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trustee will be delivered on the new national forms and in recordable form and will be filed in the state of incorporation or organization as so indicated on the documents provided.
(d) None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian or the Trust Advisor is under any duty or obligation to (i) determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) and (xi) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers in respect of any Mortgage Loan unless such item(s) are specified on the related Mortgage File Checklist, or (ii) inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, except as expressly provided in Section 2.01(e), none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian or the Trust Advisor shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.
(e) In performing the reviews contemplated by subsections (a) and (b) above, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the related Mortgage Loan Seller as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) (except with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), (viii) (without regard to the verification of the effective date with respect to a title policy or the date of funding with respect to a title commitment), (x) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that a material portion of the interest of the Borrower in the related Mortgaged Property consists of a leasehold interest) and (xx) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that the Mortgaged Property type is a hospitality property) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received by it and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by subsections (a) and (b) above.
