Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), dated [DATE, between [SPONSOR] (“Seller”) and [PURCHASER] (“Purchaser”).
Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, certain mortgage loans listed on Exhibit 1 hereto (the “Mortgage Loans”) and evidenced by the related note or other evidence of indebtedness (each a “Mortgage Note”) evidencing the indebtedness of the related obligor under the related Mortgage Loan (each a “Mortgagor”), as described herein. Purchaser will convey the Mortgage Loans to a trust (the “Issuing Entity”) created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), to be dated as of [DATE], between Purchaser, as depositor, [MASTER SERVICER], as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), [SPECIAL SERVICER], as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), [OPERATING ADVISOR], as operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor”), [TRUSTEE], as trustee (the “Trustee”), [ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER], as Asset Representations Reviewer (the “Asset Representations Reviewer”), [CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR], as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), [CUSTODIAN], as custodian (the “Custodian”), [CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR], as certificate registrar (the “Certificate Registrar”), and [AUTHENTICATING AGENT], as authenticating agency (the “Authenticating Agent”). In exchange for the Mortgage Loans, certain other mortgage loans to be purchased by Purchaser (collectively the “Other Mortgage Loans”) and, in the case of the [SPECIFIC LOAN], the [LOAN SPECIFIC] Trust B Note, the Issuing Entity will issue to the Depositor pass-through certificates to be known as [CERTIFICATE CAPTION] (the “Certificates”). The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class [PUBLICLY OFFERED CLASSES] Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) will be sold by Purchaser to [UNDERWRITERS], as underwriters (in such capacities, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, between Purchaser and the Underwriters, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), and the Class [PRIVATELY OFFERED CLASSES] Certificates (the “Private Certificates”) will be sold by Purchaser to [INITIAL PURCHASERS], as initial purchasers (in such capacities, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement, between Purchaser and the Initial Purchasers, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”). The Underwriters will offer the Public Certificates for sale publicly pursuant to a Preliminary Prospectus dated [DATE] (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and a Prospectus dated [DATE] (the “Prospectus”), and the Initial Purchasers will offer the Private Certificates for sale in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Memorandum”) and a preliminary version thereof dated [DATE] (as supplemented by the preliminary private placement memorandum supplement, dated [DATE], the “Preliminary Memorandum”).
In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE.
1.1 Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, on a servicing released basis, the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) annexed hereto as Exhibit 1, as such schedule may be amended to reflect the actual Mortgage Loans accepted by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. The Cut-Off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans is [DATE]; provided, that for purposes of determining amounts allocable to the related Seller, with respect to any Mortgage Loans not having due dates on the first day of each month, the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest due thereon during [MONTH] 20[__] are deemed to have been due and received on [DATE] rather than the actual date of receipt. The Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance as of the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, after giving effect to any payments during or prior to [MONTH] 20[__], whether or not received, of $[_________]. The sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on [DATE] or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans shall equal the amount to be set forth as such purchase price in the Xxxx of Sale (substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto), to be entered into between the parties to this Agreement in connection with this Agreement and the issuance of the Certificates (the “Xxxx of Sale”). On the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Depositor (i) an amount equal to the aggregate Interest Reserve Initial Deposit with respect to the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on an Actual/360 Basis, to be deposited by the Depositor into the Interest Reserve Account on behalf of the Seller and for the benefit of the Issuing Entity, which Interest Reserve Initial Deposit for each such Mortgage Loan represents an amount equal to [_____] days’ interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the related Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate Initial Due Date Loan Initial Deposit, if applicable, with respect to any applicable Mortgage Loan with an initial Due Date in [________] 20[__], to be deposited by the Depositor into the Distribution Account on behalf of the Seller and for the benefit of the Trust which for each such Mortgage Loan shall be an amount equal to [__] days of interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the related Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-Off Date. The purchase price shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.
1.2 On the Closing Date, Purchaser will assign to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and its rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof), and the Trustee shall succeed to such right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof).
2. CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS.
2.1 Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the consideration referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, Seller does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse, except as specifically provided herein all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of the Closing Date, with the understanding that a servicing rights purchase and sale agreement or comparable agreement may be executed by Seller and the Master Servicer. The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time on or prior to the Closing Date, shall conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with such transfer and
2 |
assignment, Seller shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf), on behalf of Purchaser, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note (as described in clause 2.2.1 hereof) for each Mortgage Loan and on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the Closing Date, five limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer, to submit, or to cause the Custodian to submit for recording, at the expense of Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf)). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is [___] days following the delivery of notice of such absence to Seller, but in no event earlier than [__] months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall submit such documents for recording, at Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above, provided, the Custodian shall not submit such assignments for recording if Seller produces evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office. In addition, not later than the [__] day following the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) each of the remaining documents or instruments specified in Section 2.2 hereof (with such exceptions as are permitted by this Section 2) with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each, a “Mortgage File”). (Seller acknowledges that the term “without recourse” does not modify the duties of Seller under Section 5 hereof.)
2.2 All Mortgage Files, or portions thereof, delivered prior to the Closing Date are to be held by the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) in escrow on behalf of Seller at all times prior to the Closing Date. The Mortgage Files shall be released from escrow upon closing of the sale of the Mortgage Loans and payments of the purchase price therefor as contemplated hereby. The Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan shall contain the following documents:

3 |
such original Mortgage has been delivered for recordation or because such original Mortgage has been lost after recordation, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) a true and correct copy of such Mortgage, together with (i) in the case of a delay caused by the public recording office, an Officer’s Certificate (as defined below) of Seller stating that such original Mortgage has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation or (ii) in the case of an original Mortgage that has been lost after recordation, a certification by the appropriate county recording office where such Mortgage is recorded that such copy is a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;

2.3 The Assignments of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases referred to in Sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.6(ii) hereof may be in the form of a single instrument assigning the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases to the extent permitted by applicable law. To avoid the unnecessary expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording or filing of multiple assignments of mortgages, assignments of leases (to the extent separate from the mortgages) and assignments of UCC financing statements, Seller shall execute, in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof, the assignments of mortgages, the assignments of leases (to the extent separate from the mortgages) and the assignments of UCC financing statements relating to the Mortgage Loans naming the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that such assignments of mortgages, assignments of leases (to the extent separate from the assignments of mortgages) and assignments of UCC financing statements shall name the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Loans shall for all purposes be deemed to have been transferred from Seller to Purchaser and from Purchaser to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
2.4 If Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in Sections 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.5 or 2.2.6 hereof (exclusive of Section 2.2.6(ii) hereof), with evidence of recording thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation within the 45 day period following the Closing Date, but Seller delivers a photocopy thereof (certified by the appropriate county recorder’s office to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), to the Trustee within such 45 day period, Seller shall then deliver within [__] days after the Closing Date the recorded document (or within such longer period after the Closing Date as the Trustee may consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as Seller is, as certified in writing to the Trustee no less often than monthly, in good faith attempting to obtain from the appropriate county recorder’s office such original or photocopy).
7 |
2.5 The Trustee, as assignee or transferee of Purchaser, shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-Off Date, all other payments of principal collected after the Cut-Off Date (other than scheduled payments of principal due on or before the Cut-Off Date), and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the period commencing on the Cut-Off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-Off Date and collected after the Cut-Off Date shall belong to, and shall promptly be remitted to, Seller.
2.6 Within 45 days following the Closing Date, other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver and Purchaser, the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the agents of either may submit or cause to be submitted for recordation at the expense of Seller, in the appropriate public office for real property records, each assignment referred to in clauses 2.2.4 and 2.2.6(ii) above. Within [__] days following the Closing Date, other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver and Purchaser, the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the agents of either may submit or cause to be submitted for filing, at the expense of Seller, in the appropriate public office for UCC financing statements, the assignment referred to in clause 2.2.9(B). Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) following recording or filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Assignment of Mortgage, assignment of Assignment of Leases or assignment of UCC financing statements, the Seller shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original and forward such copy to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, Seller shall prepare a substitute therefor or cure such defect, and Seller shall, at its own expense (except in the case of a document or instrument that is lost by the Custodian), record or file, as the case may be, and deliver such document or instrument in accordance with this Section 2.
2.7 Documents that are in the possession of Seller, its agents or its subcontractors that relate to the Mortgage Loans and that are not required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall be shipped by Seller to or at the direction of the Master Servicer, on behalf of Purchaser, on or prior to the 45th day after the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 2.01(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if applicable.
2.8 The documents required to be delivered to the Master Servicer shall include copies of the mortgage documents listed in the definition of “Mortgage File” relating to the applicable Mortgage Loan and shall also include, to the extent required to be (and actually) delivered to Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, copies of the following items: any guaranty/indemnity agreement, any insurance policies or certificates, as applicable, any property inspection reports, any financial statements on the property, any escrow analysis, any tax bills, any Appraisal, any environmental report, any engineering report, third-party management agreements, any asset summary and financial information on the Borrower/sponsor and any guarantors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, or any attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses or attorney work product, or internal communications of Seller or its affiliates among themselves or with their respective attorneys, or credit underwriting or other analyses or data (and, if any such items are received, they shall be
8 |
returned and any copies thereof destroyed). Delivery of any of the foregoing documents to any sub-servicer shall be deemed a delivery to the Master Servicer and satisfy Seller’s obligations under this subparagraph.
2.9 Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File shall be vested in Purchaser and its assigns, and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of Seller shall immediately vest in Purchaser and its assigns, and shall be delivered promptly by Seller to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer as set forth herein, subject to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Seller’s and Purchaser’s records shall reflect the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from Seller to Purchaser and its assigns as a sale.
2.10 It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and related property to Purchaser by Seller as provided in this Section 2 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Loans and related property. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related property by Seller to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans or any related property are held to be the property of Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans or any related property, then:
2.10.1 this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement; and
2.10.2 the conveyance provided for in this Section 2 shall be deemed to be a grant by Seller to Purchaser of, and Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in, to and under:
A. All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following property: the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements, and title, hazard and other insurance policies, all distributions with respect thereto payable after the Cut-Off Date, all substitute or replacement Mortgage Loans and all distributions with respect thereto, and the Mortgage Files;
B. All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, investment property and other rights arising from or by virtue of the disposition of, or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims against other Persons with respect to, all or any part of the collateral described in clause (A) above (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); and
9 |
C. All cash and non-cash proceeds of the collateral described in clauses (A) and (B) above.
2.11 The possession by Purchaser or its designee (including, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Trustee, as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a purchaser for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313 thereof) as in force in the relevant jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the perfection of any such security interest.
2.12 Notifications to Persons holding such property, 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 of, or Persons holding for, Purchaser or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
2.13 The Seller hereby agrees to provide the Purchaser with prompt notice of any information it receives which indicates that the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from the Seller to the Purchaser may not be treated as a sale. The Seller shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In such case, the Seller hereby authorizes the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian to file all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the UCC as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect such security interest in such property. In connection herewith, the Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
2.14 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and subject to Section 2.1 hereof, Purchaser shall not be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which any Mortgage Note (endorsed as described in clause 2.2.1 hereof) required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) or the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 2 on or before the Closing Date is not so delivered, or is not properly executed or is defective on its face, and Purchaser’s acceptance of the related Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date shall in no way constitute a waiver of such omission or defect of Purchaser’s or its successors’ and assigns’ rights in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
2.15 The Seller shall not (i) re-acquire the Mortgage Loans or any portion thereof or interest therein (other than as required in order to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) or (ii) acquire any Certificates or interests therein in amounts that may cause the Seller to recognize the Mortgage Loans (or any portion thereof) as an asset of such Seller in its books and records. The Seller has internal accounting and finance controls in place to, in each case (a) monitor any such re-acquisition of the Mortgage Loans or acquisition of the Certificates
10 |
and (b) prevent any such recognition of the Mortgage Loans (or any portion thereof) as an asset of the Seller. In the event the Seller is required to recognize the Mortgage Loans (or any portion thereof) as an asset of the Seller for tax and/or accounting purposes, the Seller shall take immediate corrective action, such that the Mortgage Loans shall not be treated as an asset of the Seller for tax or accounting purposes.
2.16 The Seller (solely in respect of the Franchise Mortgage Loans it is selling to the Depositor) or its designee shall, within [__] days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter) and with a copy to the Master Servicer, notify the related franchisor in writing that such Franchise Mortgage Loan has been transferred to the Issuing Entity and request a replacement comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).

The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the credit files, underwriting documentation or Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans shall not affect the right of Purchaser or the Trustee to cause Seller to cure any Material Document Defect or Material Breach (each as defined below), or to repurchase or replace the defective Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
3.2 On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall allow representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof to examine and audit all books, records and files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, Seller’s underwriting procedures and Seller’s ability to perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. Such examinations and audits shall take place upon reasonable prior advance notice at one or more offices of Seller during normal business hours and shall not be conducted in a manner that is disruptive to Seller’s normal business operations. In the course of such examinations and audits, Seller will make available to such representatives of Purchaser and any designees thereof reasonably adequate facilities, as well as the assistance of a sufficient number of knowledgeable and responsible individuals who are familiar with the Mortgage Loans and the terms of this Agreement, and Seller shall cooperate fully with any such examination and audit in all material respects. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with all material information regarding Seller’s financial condition and access to knowledgeable financial or accounting officers for the purpose of answering questions with respect to Seller’s financial condition, financial statements as provided to Purchaser or other developments affecting Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise affecting Seller in any material respect.

If Purchaser is required or otherwise deems it necessary and appropriate to disclose in the Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the Prospectus or any other disclosure document relating to the Certificates confidential information regarding Seller as described in the preceding sentence, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of the proposed form of such disclosure prior to making such disclosure and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within [_____] Business Days, notify Purchaser of any inaccuracies therein, in which case Purchaser shall modify such form in a manner that corrects such inaccuracies. If Purchaser is required by law or court order to disclose confidential information regarding Seller as described in the second preceding sentence, Purchaser shall notify Seller and cooperate in Seller’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information and, if in the absence of a protective order or such assurance, Purchaser is compelled as a matter of law to disclose such information, Purchaser shall, prior to making such disclosure, advise and consult with Seller and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably advised by counsel that Purchaser is required by a regulatory agency or court order to make such disclosure immediately, then Purchaser shall be permitted to make such disclosure without prior review by Seller and shall give Seller prompt notice of such disclosure.

13 |
financial condition of Seller that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
4.1.6 On the Closing Date, the sale of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement will effect a transfer by Seller of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser.
4.1.7 To Seller’s knowledge, the information in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum as to which the Seller is providing indemnification pursuant to that certain indemnification agreement, dated the date hereof, between Seller, Purchaser, the Underwriters, and the Initial Purchasers (the “Indemnification Agreement”, and such information the “Seller’s Information”) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein (solely in the case of the Prospectus) or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Seller has complied with the disclosure requirements of Regulation AB that arise from its role as “originator” and “sponsor” (or, if Seller was not the originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the role of the related originator as “originator”) in connection with the issuance of the Public Certificates. The review described under “Transaction Parties – The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers – UBS Real Estate Securities Inc. – Review of UBSRES Loans” in the Prospectus was designed and effected to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans in the Prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this subparagraph 4.1.7 shall run exclusively to the benefit of Purchaser and no other party.
4.1.8 The Seller hereby agrees to deliver to the Purchaser and to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information set forth next to the Seller’s name on Exhibit BB, Exhibit CC or Exhibit DD of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in formatting reasonably appropriate for inclusion in such form) (collectively, “Seller Reporting Information”); provided, that the Seller Reporting Information shall not be exclusive of any additional disclosure items specifically related to the Seller or any related Mortgage Loan originator that may be added to Form 10-K, Form 10-D or Form 8-K subsequent to the date hereof that are required to be included in the Exchange Act reports related to the Issuing Entity if the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator provides the Seller with notice of such additional requirements. The Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver proposed disclosure language relating to any such event described under Items 1100(e), 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB and Item 1.03 to Form 8-K to the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and the Purchaser within [_____] Business Day and in any event no later than [_____] Business Days of the Seller becoming aware of such event and shall provide disclosure relating to any other Seller Reporting Information required to be disclosed by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1.8 on Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K within [_____] Business Days following the Purchaser’s request for such disclosure language.

The Purchaser shall provide the Seller with notice (which notice may be sent via facsimile or by email) if the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, does file the form necessary to be filed with the Commission to suspend the Issuing Entity’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 11.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the information to be provided by it pursuant to this Section will be used in the preparation of reports meeting the reporting requirements of the Issuing Entity under Section 13(a) and/or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
4.1.9 To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties and those set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule 2-A to Exhibit 2, will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date.

4.1.12 The Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a Resolution Method pursuant to Section 2.04(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall abide by the selected Resolution Method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to the Resolution Method; [and]
15 |
4.1.13 [The Seller shall timely deliver (or cause any Originator of the Mortgage Loans to timely deliver) to the Certificate Administrator each Retention Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.33 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, if the Seller or any Originator transfers its Required Sponsor Retention Amount or Required Originator Retention Amount, as applicable, as contemplated therein, the Seller shall cause its transferee or the transferee of such Originator to deliver any Retention Certificate required pursuant to Section 3.33 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and][Applicable to offerings on or after December 24, 2016]
4.1.14 Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to provide procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Mortgage Loan Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus and Private Placement Memorandum. The Underwriters and Initial Purchasers are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.1.14.
Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes.

16 |
4.2.3 No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required, under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Purchaser with this Agreement, or the consummation by Purchaser of any transaction contemplated hereby that has not been obtained or made by Purchaser.
4.2.4 Neither the purchase of the Mortgage Loans nor the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser will violate Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in a breach of, any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which Purchaser is a party or that may be applicable to Purchaser or its assets.
4.2.5 Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of any law, rule, writ, injunction, order or decree of any court, or order or regulation of any federal, state or municipal government agency having jurisdiction over Purchaser or its assets, which violation could materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of Purchaser or its assets or could materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations and duties hereunder.
4.2.6 There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of, Purchaser pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the outcome of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the Certificates, the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial condition of Purchaser that would materially and adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5. REMEDIES UPON BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY SELLER.
5.1 It is hereby acknowledged that Seller shall make for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Certificates, whether directly or by way of Purchaser’s assignment of its rights hereunder to the Trustee, the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto (each as of the date hereof unless otherwise specified).
5.2 It is hereby further acknowledged that if any document required to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) pursuant to Section 2 hereof is not delivered as and when required, not properly executed or is defective on its face, or if there is a breach of any of the representations and warranties required to be made by Seller regarding the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or the related Mortgaged Properties as set forth in Exhibit 2 hereto, and in either case (i) the defect or breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the holders of the Certificates in the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) both (A) the defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan and (B) the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan (any such defect described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), a “Material Document Defect” and any such breach described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), a “Material Breach”), the Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires any party thereunder that determines such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists, to promptly so notify Seller, among others, in writing. Seller may or, following receipt of a request to cure the related Material Document Defect or Material Breach as provided under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a party thereto (a “Cure Request”), Seller shall, not later than 90 days from Seller’s receipt of the notice of, and a Cure Request with respect to, such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects; provided, that if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90 day period, and such Material Document Defect or Material Breach would not cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code) but Seller is diligently attempting to effect such correction or cure, as certified by Seller in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Custodian, then the cure period will be extended for an additional 90 days unless, solely in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the Mortgage Loan is then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (ii) or clause (v) of the definition of “Servicing Transfer Event” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was identified in a certification delivered to Seller by the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than [__] days prior to the Seller’s receipt of the notice of such Material Document Defect. The parties acknowledge that neither delivery of a certification or schedule of exceptions to Seller pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or otherwise nor possession of such certification or schedule by Seller shall, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge or awareness by Seller, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of any Material Document Defect listed therein.
18 |
5.3 Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such Material Document Defect or Material Breach that exists cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects or Seller otherwise fails to correct or cure within the above cure periods, Seller shall, on or before the termination of such cure periods, either (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or interest therein) from Purchaser or its assignee at the Purchase Price as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (ii) if within the [_____]-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or prior to the [_____] anniversary of the Closing Date if the related 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)), at its option replace, without recourse (other than the representations and warranties made with respect thereto), any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan to which such defect relates with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. If such Material Document Defect or Material Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence or the previous paragraph, the cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within [__] days from the date Seller was notified of the defect or breach; provided, that in any event, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur no later than [__] days from the date of determination of the existence of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach as determined in Section 5.2 hereof. Seller agrees that any substitution shall be completed in accordance with the terms, conditions and requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the payment of a substitution shortfall amount equal to the excess, if any, of the applicable Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan to be replaced, over the Stated Principal Balance of the applicable Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan (together with any additional amounts specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, in lieu of the Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in this Section 5.3, to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the Seller to the Purchaser (or its assignee) that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser (or its assignee) for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. [The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan.] Upon its making such payment, the Seller 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 such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
5.4 If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated above (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”), (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and
19 |
cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage Loans (such Defective Mortgage Loan and such other Mortgage Loans, collectively, “Crossed Mortgage Loans”) and (z) the applicable document defect or breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to such other Crossed Mortgage Loans (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable document defect or breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to each such other Crossed Mortgage Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such other Crossed Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions above, unless, in the case of such breach or document defect, (A) Seller provides a Nondisqualification Opinion to the Trustee at the expense of Seller and (B) both of the following conditions would be satisfied if Seller were to repurchase or replace only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect had occurred without regard to this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”): (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all those Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the [_____] calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) [___]x below the debt service coverage ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loans(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus and (B) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the [_____] preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement, and (ii) the Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greater of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number (taken to one decimal place), for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus plus [__]% and (B) the Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loans(s)), at the time of repurchase or replacement. The determination of the Master Servicer as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Master Servicer will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct Seller to (in which case Seller shall) cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
5.5 With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan, to the extent that Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Defective Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 5.4 while the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of Purchaser) continues to hold any related Crossed Mortgage Loan, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to forebear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but may exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing their respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one party would impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans held by such party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Mortgage Loans shall be allocated between such
20 |
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding principal balances. All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The Mortgagors set forth on Schedule A hereto are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in Section 5.4 and this Section 5.5. The provisions of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph may not be modified with respect to any Mortgage Loan without the related Mortgagor’s consent.
5.6 Any of the following document defects shall be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan and be a Material Document Defect: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity that appears to be regular on its face (if such absence results from Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File a certified copy of the Mortgage by the local authority with which the Mortgage was recorded (if such absence results from Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item specified in paragraph 2.2.8 (if such absence results from Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original or a copy of any letter of credit in effect as of the Closing Date (if such absence results from Seller’s failure to deliver such item); or (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of a copy of the item specified in paragraph 2.2.10 (if such absence results from Seller’s failure to deliver such item) if the related Mortgage Loan is secured only by the related ground lease, space lease or air rights lease.
5.7 If Seller disputes that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan or otherwise refuses (i) to effect a correction or cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, (ii) to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from Purchaser or its assignee or (iii) to replace such Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each in accordance with this Agreement, then provided that (x) the period of time provided for Seller to correct, repurchase or cure has expired and (y) the Mortgage Loan is then in default and is then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer may, subject to the Servicing Standard, modify, workout or foreclose, sell or otherwise liquidate (or permit the liquidation of) the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, while pursuing the repurchase claim. Seller acknowledges and agrees that any modification of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to a workout shall not constitute a defense to any repurchase claim nor shall such modification and workout change the Purchase Price due from Seller for any repurchase claim. In the event of any such modification and workout, Seller shall be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan as modified and the Purchase Price shall include any Workout Fee paid to the Special Servicer up to the date of repurchase plus the present value (calculated at the applicable Calculation Rate) of the Workout Fee that would have been payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan performed in accordance with its terms to its Maturity Date, provided that no amount shall be paid by Seller in respect of any Workout Fee if a Liquidation Fee already comprises a portion of the Purchase Price or if the related Mortgagor has already paid such fee. Seller is entitled to be notified promptly and in writing by the Special Servicer of any offer that it receives to purchase the applicable Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, each in connection with such liquidation. Any sale of the related
21 |
Mortgage Loan, or foreclosure upon such Mortgage Loan and sale of the related REO Property, to a Person other than Seller shall be without (i) recourse of any kind (either expressed or implied) by such Person against Seller and (ii) representation or warranty of any kind (either expressed or implied) by Seller to or for the benefit of such Person.
5.8 (a) If Seller (i) receives from any Person (other than the Depositor) any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of a representation or warranty or a document defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”); (ii) rejects any Repurchase Request or is in dispute with the Person making any Repurchase Request as to the merits of such Repurchase Request (a “Dispute”); or (iii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request, then Seller shall deliver notice of such Repurchase Request, rejection, Dispute or withdrawal (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Depositor within [_____] Business Days of Seller’s receipt thereof (or in the case of a rejection or Dispute, the occurrence thereof).
(b) Seller shall provide to the Depositor relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that Seller is required to file with the Commission (only to the extent that such portions relate to the Mortgage Loans) on or before the date that is [_____] Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Commission. Promptly upon request, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to Seller such information regarding the principal balances of the Mortgage Loans in order for Seller to prepare any such form ABS-15G.
(c) Seller agrees that a Repurchase Request Recipient (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) will not, in connection with providing Seller with any 15Ga-1 Notice (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), be required to provide any information protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Purchaser, Seller and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a Repurchase Request Recipient shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
(d) Seller represents and warrants that any information Seller provides to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall be true, complete and correct as of the date Seller provides such information to the Depositor.
5.9 The fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not discovered until after completion of foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of the related REO Property) shall not prejudice any claim against Seller for repurchase of the REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein). If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, notifies Seller of the discovery of the Material Document Defect or Material Breach then Seller shall have 90 days to correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach or
22 |
purchase the REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein) at the Purchase Price. After a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or REO Property, if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order after the expiration of any applicable appeal period that Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or the Issuing Entity’s interest therein) (a “Final Judicial Determination”) or Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, but in no event later than the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller will be obligated to pay to the Issuing Entity the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including those arising from any sale to Seller) and the Purchase Price.
5.10 Reserved.
5.11 The obligations of Seller set forth in this Section 5 to cure a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach or repurchase or replace a defective Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment constitute the sole remedies of Purchaser or its assignees with respect to a Material Document Defect or Material Breach in respect of an outstanding Mortgage Loan; provided, that this limitation shall not in any way limit Purchaser’s rights or remedies upon breach of any other representation or warranty or covenant by Seller set forth in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Exhibit 2).
5.12 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph [__] or paragraph [__] in Exhibit 2 hereto, and as a result the payments, by a Mortgagor, of reasonable costs and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan are insufficient such that the Issuing Entity incurs an Additional Trust Expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, Seller hereby covenants and agrees to reimburse the Issuing Entity within 90 days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such Additional Trust Expense (including, if applicable, the amount of any fees and expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer related to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan). The parties hereto acknowledge that such reimbursement shall be the only obligation of Seller with respect to the breach discussed in the previous sentence.
5.13 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that Seller has retained the right of the lender under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans to receive a percentage of the economic benefit associated with the ownership of the successor borrower, and to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral, if there is a defeasance of such Mortgage Loan (“UBSRES Lender Successor Borrower Right”). Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide that (i) if the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan subject to defeasance, then the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to Seller or its assignee and (ii) until such time as Seller provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with UBSRES Lender Successor Borrower Right shall be delivered to Seller pursuant to the notice provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
23 |
5.14 The Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that (a) any party that is required to report the discovery of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach shall give written notice promptly to Seller of any such discovery and (b) the Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice to Seller if any Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
5.15 If Seller repurchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 5, Purchaser or its assignee, following receipt by the Trustee of the Purchase Price therefor, promptly shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller all Mortgage Loan documents with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed and assigned to Seller in the same manner such that Seller shall be vested with legal and beneficial title to such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, including any property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loan or proceeds of any insurance policies with respect thereto.
6. CLOSING.
6.1 The closing of the sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the offices of [ADDRESS] at [TIME], New York time, on the Closing Date. The closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

25 |

NOW, THEREFORE, Seller does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), acting solely in its capacity as Custodian under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to each Mortgage Loan in Seller’s name, place and stead: (i) to complete (to the extent necessary) and to cause to be submitted for filing or recording in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, all assignments of mortgage, deeds of trust or similar documents, assignments or reassignments of rents, leases and profits, in each case in favor of the Trustee, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in Section 1.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that have been received by the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, and all Form UCC-3 assignments of financing statements and all other comparable instruments or documents with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are customarily and reasonably necessary or appropriate to assign agreements, documents and instruments pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, in each case in favor of the Trustee as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File” in, and in accordance with Section 1.01 of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such assignments and conveyances in favor of the Trustee in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices; and (ii) to file or record in the appropriate public filing or recording offices, all other Mortgage Loan documents to be recorded under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any such Mortgage Loan documents which have not been submitted for filing or recordation by Seller on or before the date hereof or

which have been so submitted but are subsequently lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled as a result of actual or purported defects therein, in order to evidence, provide notice of and perfect such documents in the public records of the appropriate filing and recording offices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Limited Power of Attorney shall grant to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer only such powers, responsibilities and authority as are set forth in Section 2.1 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
Seller does also hereby make, constitute and appoint the Special Servicer, acting solely in its capacity as Special Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Seller’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to the Mortgage Loans in Seller’s name, place and stead solely to exercise and perform all of the rights, authority and powers of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) as set forth in the preceding paragraph in the event of the failure or the incapacity of the Custodian to do so for any reason. As between the Special Servicer and any third party, no evidence of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian shall be required and such third party may rely upon the Special Servicer’s written statement that it is acting pursuant to the terms of this Limited Power of Attorney.
The enumeration of particular powers herein is not intended in any way to limit the grant to either the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact of full power and authority with respect to the Mortgage Loans to complete (to the extent necessary), file and record any documents, instruments or other writings referred to above as fully, to all intents and purposes, as Seller might or could do if personally present, hereby ratifying and confirming whatsoever such attorney-in-fact shall and may do by virtue hereof; and Seller agrees and represents to those dealing with such attorney-in-fact that they may rely upon this Limited Power of Attorney until termination thereof under the provisions of the second following paragraph below.

Any purchaser, title insurance company or other third party may rely upon a written statement by either the Custodian or the Special Servicer that any particular Mortgage Loan or related mortgaged real property in question is subject to and included under this Limited Power of Attorney and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Any act or thing lawfully done hereunder by either the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) or the Special Servicer shall be binding on Seller and Seller’s successors and assigns.
This Limited Power of Attorney shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer, as applicable, until the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) | with respect to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the termination of the Custodian and its replacement with a successor Custodian under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; |
