Modifications of Mortgage Loans Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall permit any modification of a Money Term of a Mortgage Loan (or of a related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan) unless (i) the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Master Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (at the expense of the related Mortgagor, any holder of a related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan or the Trust) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as an exchange pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code (or, if it would be so treated, would not be treated as a “significant modification” for purposes of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations) or (ii) such modification meets the requirements set forth in Sections 8.18 or 9.5.
Completion and Recordation of Assignment of Mortgage To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The cost of any such recordation by the Servicer shall be borne by the Seller.
Assignment of Mortgage An assignment of the Mortgage, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument in recordable form, sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located to reflect the transfer of the Mortgage to the party indicated therein, which assignment, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument may be in the form of one or more blanket assignments covering the Mortgage Loans secured by Mortgaged Properties located in the same jurisdiction, if permitted by law. Best Efforts: Efforts determined to be reasonably diligent by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Such efforts do not require the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to enter into any litigation, arbitration or other legal or quasi-legal proceeding, nor do they require the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to advance or expend fees or sums of money in addition to those specifically set forth in this Agreement.
Completion and Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Servicing Transfer Date or the date on which a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan is delivered pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Trust Agreement, as applicable (but in no event more than 90 days thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable public recording office), the Servicer shall cause the endorsements on the Mortgage Note (if applicable), and the Assignments of Mortgage (subject to Section 3.01(a)) to be completed in the name of the Trustee (or MERS, as applicable).
Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the Depositor's rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement.
Repurchase of Mortgage Loans with First Payment Defaults With respect to any Mortgage Loan, in the event that the first scheduled payment of principal and interest due either (i) after origination of such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) after the related Closing Date is not paid by the related Mortgagor to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days of such Due Date, the Seller, at the Purchaser's option, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser at a price equal to the related Purchase Price Percentage multiplied by the then outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the date to which interest was last paid through the day prior to the repurchase date at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, plus any outstanding advances owed to any servicer in connection with such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser's right to request a repurchase hereunder shall not commence until the date which is sixty (60) days following the related Due Date (the "Breach Date"). The Purchaser shall have ninety (90) days following the related Breach Date to notify the Seller and request a repurchase and the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser reserves the right to request a repurchase following such sixty (60) day timeframe in the event of a NSF return. In addition, if any payment referred to above is received by the Seller following the Transfer Date but such payment is made within the allotted thirty (30) or sixty (60) day period, as applicable, the Purchaser shall not have the option to request a repurchase.
ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE (a) The Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the exceptions it notes pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies thereof) referred to in Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement, and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will continue to hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust as Indenture Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Notes. On the Closing Date or no later than the 45th day following the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall certify to the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer (and the Indenture Trustee if the Custodian is so certifying) that it has reviewed each Mortgage File and that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-1 as not covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File required to be delivered to it pursuant to paragraphs (i) - (v) and (vii) of Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule which corresponds to items (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. If within such 45-day period the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee determines that such Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall promptly upon the conclusion of its review notify the Seller in the form of an exception report and the Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days after such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect. On the 360th day following the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller and the Servicer an exception report showing the documents outstanding pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement along with a final certification annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 updated from the previous certification issued in the form of Exhibit C-1. The Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall also maintain records adequate to determine the date on which any document required to be delivered to it after such 360th day following the Closing Date must be delivered to it, and on each such date, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall review the related Mortgage File to determine whether such document has, in fact, been delivered. After the delivery of the final certification, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee shall provide to the Servicer and the Seller (and to the Indenture Trustee if delivered by the Custodian), no less frequently than monthly, updated exception reports showing the documents outstanding pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement until all such exceptions have been eliminated and (ii) the Seller shall provide to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, no less frequently than monthly, updated certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions until all such exceptions have been eliminated; provided that the delivery of the final certification shall not act as a waiver of any of the rights the Noteholders may have with respect to such exceptions, and all rights are reserved with respect thereto. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodian makes any representations as to, and shall not be responsible to verify, (i) the validity, sufficiency, legality, due authorization, recordation or genuineness of any document or (ii) the collectability, insurability or effectiveness of any of the Mortgage Loans.
Modifications of Mortgage With the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, the Servicer may modify the terms of a Mortgage Loan which is in default or a Mortgage Loan as to which default is reasonably foreseeable; provided, however, that (i) such modification may not reduce the amount of principal owed under the related Mortgage Note or permanently reduce the Mortgage Interest Rate for such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Servicer and the Master Servicer have determined that such modification is likely to increase the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan over the amount expected to be collected pursuant to foreclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not permit any modification of any material term of a Mortgage Loan (including the Mortgage Interest Rate, the principal balance, the amortization schedule, or any other term affecting the amount or timing of payments on the Mortgage Loan) where such modification is not the result of a default or as to which default is reasonably foreseeable under the Mortgage Loan unless the Master Servicer has consented thereto and the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (at the expense of the Servicer or the party making the request of the Servicer to modify the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such modification would not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for federal income tax purposes or a disposition of the modified Mortgage Loan and that such modification is permitted under the REMIC Provisions.
Sale and Conveyance of Mortgages; Possession of Mortgage File The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty (except as otherwise specifically set forth herein), subject to the rights of the holders of interests in any related Companion Loan, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”), including all interest and principal received or receivable on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-Off Date (and, in any event, excluding payments of principal and interest and other amounts due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-Off Date and excluding any Retained Defeasance Rights and Obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans). Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each related Note, the Seller’s interest in the related Mortgage represented by the Note and the other contents of the related Mortgage File (subject to the rights of the holders of interests in any related Companion Loan) will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee, and the ownership of records and documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than those to be held by the holder of any related Companion Loan) prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall (subject to the rights of the holders of interests in any related Companion Loan) immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee. In connection with the transfer pursuant to this Section 1 of any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, the Seller does hereby assign to the Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest (solely in its capacity as the holder of the subject Mortgage Loan) in, to and under the related Co-Lender Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Seller does not assign any right, title or interest that it or any other party may have thereunder in its capacity as the holder of any related Companion Loan). The Seller’s assignment of any Outside Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Outside Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. The Purchaser will sell: (i) certain classes of the Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) to the underwriters (the “Underwriters”) specified in the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Purchaser and the Underwriters; and (ii) certain classes of the Certificates (the “Private Certificates”) to the initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers” and, collectively with the Underwriters, the “Dealers”) specified in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2023 (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), between the Purchaser and the Initial Purchasers. The sale and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans is being conducted on an arms-length basis and upon commercially reasonable terms. As the consideration for the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction that sum set forth in the funding schedule executed by the Seller and the Purchaser relating to the sale of the Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby (but subject to certain post-settlement adjustments for expenses incurred by the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Depositor and for which the Seller is specifically responsible). The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on the Closing Date.
Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Assignments of Mortgage is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or their comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected at the Seller's expense in the event recordation is either necessary under applicable law or requested by the Purchaser at its sole option.
