No release of this Mortgage or the lien hereof shall be valid unless executed by Lender.

• COVENANTS OF MORTGAGOR Mortgagor covenants and agrees as follows:

• Creation and Declaration of Trust Fund; Conveyance of Mortgage Loans (a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby transfer, assign, set over, deposit with and otherwise convey to the Trustee, without recourse, subject to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.05 and 2.06, in trust, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans. Such conveyance includes, without limitation, the right to all distributions of principal and interest received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans on and after the Cut-off Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on or before such date) and all such payments due after such date but received prior to such date and intended by the related Mortgagors to be applied after such date, together with all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collection Account and all amounts from time to time credited to and the proceeds of the Collection Account, the Certificate Account and all amounts from time to time credited to and the proceeds of the Certificate Account, any Escrow Account established pursuant to Section 9.06 hereof and all amounts from time to time credited to and the proceeds of any such Escrow Account, any REO Property and the proceeds thereof, the Depositor’s rights under any Insurance Policies related to the Mortgage Loans, and the Depositor’s security interest in any collateral pledged to secure the Mortgage Loans, including the Mortgaged Properties and any Additional Collateral, and any proceeds of the foregoing, to have and to hold, in trust; and the Trustee declares that, subject to the review provided for in Section 2.02, it (or a Custodian on its behalf) has received and shall hold the Trust Fund, as trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Holders of the Certificates and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, concurrently with such receipt, has caused to be executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Trust Fund, Certificates in the authorized denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby assign to the Trustee all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement including all rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreements and Transfer Agreements to the extent assigned under such Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller, or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein.

• 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).

• Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Seller of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Seller will obtain the portion of the Mortgage File that is in the possession of the Purchaser or its designee, prepare and process any required satisfaction or release of the Mortgage and notify the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to deliver to the Seller (or cause to be delivered to the Seller) the original Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan not later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of a notice from the Seller that such a payment in full has been received or that a notification has been received that such a payment in full shall be made. Such Mortgage Note shall be held by the Seller, in trust, for the purpose of canceling such Mortgage Note and delivering the canceled Mortgage Note to the Mortgagor in a timely manner as and to the extent provided under any applicable federal or state law. In the event the Seller grants a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the Seller shall remit to the Purchaser the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Fidelity Bond shall insure the Seller against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

• Organization of Mortgagor With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan and other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-4, no Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of a Mortgagor with respect to another Mortgage Loan. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (42) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.

• Recording of Mortgage, Etc Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of the Mortgage and thereafter, from time to time, will cause the Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Mortgage, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

• Validity of Mortgage Documents The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, any provisions therein relating to prepayment penalties). All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein;

• 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.
