Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of [_____], 20[__], among UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., as Depositor, [_____], as Master Servicer, [_____], as Special Servicer, [_____], as Trustee, [_____], as Certificate Administrator, Paying Agent and Custodian, and [_____], as Operating Advisor.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary Statement shall have
the meanings specified in Article I hereof)
The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans.
The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement, and will issue (i) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests set forth in the table below (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), as classes of regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Class [LTR] Interest, which is the sole class of residual interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC and which will be represented by the Class [LR] Certificates.
The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement and will issue the following Classes: the Class [A-1], Class [A-2], Class [A-3], Class [A-4], Class [X-A], Class [X-B], Class [A-M], Class [B], Class [C], Class [D], Class [E], Class [F] and Class [G] Certificates, which are designated as classes of regular interests, and the Class [R] Certificates, which are designated as the sole class of residual interests, in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
The portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Excess Interest and proceeds thereof in the Class [V] Distribution Account shall be treated as a grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes. The Class [V] Certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in the Excess Interest and proceeds thereof in the Class [V] Distribution Account. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust will maintain its status as a “grantor trust” under federal income tax law and will not be treated as part of any Trust REMIC.
The following table sets forth the Class designation and Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates (collectively, the “Corresponding Certificates”), and the corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest (the “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest”) and the Corresponding Components of the Class [X] Certificates (the “Corresponding Components”) for each Class of Corresponding Certificates.

|
The Lower-Tier Regular Interest and the Component of the Class [X-A] or Class [X-B] Certificates that correspond to any particular Class of Regular Certificates also correspond to each other and, accordingly, constitute the (i) “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests” and (ii) “Corresponding Components,” respectively, with respect to each other. The Class [X] Component Notional Amount for such Corresponding Component of the Class [X-A] or Class [X-B] Certificates shall at all times equal the then Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest.
|
The initial Certificate Balance of each of the Class [R] and Class [LR] Certificates is zero. Additionally, the Class [R] and Class [LR] Certificates do not have a Notional Balance. The Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which holders thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in the event that amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses, to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof are subsequently recovered (including without limitation after the reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class to zero), such Class may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 or Section 4.01A of this Agreement.
As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Stated Principal Balance equal to approximately $[_____].
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the other parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted to take into account any subsequent Small Loan Appraisal Estimate or Updated Appraisal, as applicable, and any annual letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Small Loan Appraisal Estimate, Updated Appraisal or letter update, as applicable.
At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Mortgage Loan, and if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Holder may request the Special Servicer to obtain an Appraisal satisfactory to the Special Servicer that satisfies the requirements of an “Updated Appraisal” at the expense of the party requesting such Appraisal, and upon the written request of the Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall, subject to the Servicing Standard, recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Mortgage Loan or the applicable Loan Combination based on such Appraisal (but subject to any downward adjustment by the Special Servicer as provided in the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount) and shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Directing Holder of such recalculated Appraisal Reduction Amount.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount related to a Mortgage Loan or a Loan Combination or the related REO Property will be reduced to zero as of the date the related Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust Fund. Each Loan Combination will be treated as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the mortgage loans that comprise such Loan Combination. In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, such Mortgage Loan shall no longer be subject to the Appraisal Reduction Amount if (a) such Mortgage Loan has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and (b) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing.

the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing)), (b) the related Borrower continues to make its Assumed Scheduled Payment, (c) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination and (d) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Holder consents, an Appraisal Reduction Event will not occur until 60 days beyond the related Maturity Date, unless extended by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Loan Documents or this Agreement; and provided, further, if the related Borrower has delivered to the Master Servicer, who shall promptly deliver a copy to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), on or before the 60th day after the related Maturity Date, a refinancing commitment reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer, and the Borrower continues to make its Assumed Scheduled Payments (and no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination), an Appraisal Reduction Event will not occur until the earlier of (1) 120 days beyond the related Maturity Date (or extended maturity date) and (2) the termination of the refinancing commitment.

With respect to each Loan Combination, except for the Note referred to in clause (i)(B) of the preceding paragraph, only a single original set of the Loan Documents specified above is required to be delivered. With respect to the Mortgage Loans, on or prior to the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan Seller will retain a third party vendor to complete the assignment and recordation or filing of the related Loan Documents in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and with respect to a Loan Combination, the related Companion Loan Noteholders. On or promptly following the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan Seller will cause such third party vendor, to the extent possession of recorded copies of each Mortgage and the documents described in Section 2.01(a)(iii), (v), (viii) and (xiii) have been delivered to it at the expense of the Mortgage Loan Seller, (1) to promptly prepare and record (in
-87-
favor of the Trustee, in trust for the Holders of UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., [_____] Trust 20[__]-[__], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [_____] 20[__]-[__]) in the appropriate public recording office (a) in no event later than 30 Business Days following the receipt thereof, each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iii) which has not yet been submitted for recording and (b) in no event later than 60 days following the receipt thereof, each Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits referred to in Section 2.01(a)(viii)(B) (if not otherwise included in the related Assignment of Mortgage) which has not yet been submitted for recordation; and (2) to prepare and file in the appropriate public filing office each UCC assignment of financing statement referred to in Section 2.01(a)(v)(B) and (xiii) which has not yet been submitted for filing or recording in no event later than 60 days following the receipt thereof. Each such document shall reflect that the recorded original should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording, and each such document shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be returned to the Custodian or its designee following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Assignment of Mortgage or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, the Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original, at the expense of the Depositor. In the event that any such document or instrument in respect of any Mortgage Loan is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or the Custodian shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute thereof or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at the direction of the Custodian for recording or filing, as appropriate, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense (as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement). Each Mortgage Loan Seller or the Custodian will, promptly upon receipt of the original recorded or filed copy (and in no event later than five Business Days following such receipt) deliver such original to the Custodian, with evidence of filing or recording thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if applicable, after any has been recorded, the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of a copy of the recorded original of such Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee or to file any UCC-3 assignment of financing statement in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, or any Companion Loan Noteholder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loans against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any sub-servicer or the Depositor.
If a Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the related lender’s title insurance policy referred to in Section 2.01(a)(vii) solely because such policy has not yet been issued, the delivery requirements of this Section 2.01 will be deemed to be satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item
-88-
will be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File by delivery to the Custodian of a binder marked as binding and countersigned by the title insurer or its authorized agent (which may be a pro forma or specimen title insurance policy which has been accepted or approved as binding in writing by the related title insurance company) or an acknowledged closing instruction or escrow letter, and the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver to the Custodian or at the direction of the Trustee, promptly following the receipt thereof, the original related lender’s title insurance policy (or a copy thereof). Copies of recorded or filed Assignments of Mortgage, Reassignments of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits and UCC assignments of financing statements shall be held by the Custodian.
Subject to the third preceding paragraph, all original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by the Depositor or the Master Servicer (or a sub-servicer on its behalf), as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, insofar as they also relate to the Companion Loans, on behalf of and for the benefit of the related Companion Loan Noteholders. In the event that any such original document, or in the case of a Companion Loan, the original Note, is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.
(b) In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall direct, and hereby represents and warrants that it has directed, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to and deposit with or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, (i) the Custodian, on or before the Closing Date, for each Mortgage Loan so assigned the Note (and, with respect to any related Companion Loan, a copy of the Note), the original or a copy of the related Mortgage, the original or a copy of the title policy for each Mortgage Loan, a copy of the related ground lease, if applicable, for each Mortgage Loan and an original (or copy, if the original is held by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 2.01(c)) of any letters of credit held by the lender as beneficiary or assigned as security for the Mortgage Loan, and, within 30 days following the Closing Date, the remaining applicable documents referred to in Section 2.01(a) for each such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, in each case with copies to the Master Servicer and (ii) the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, all documents and records that are part of each applicable Servicing File. If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original Note, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver a copy or duplicate original of such Note, together with an affidavit certifying that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed and an indemnification in favor of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian.
If the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in Section 2.01(a)(ii), Section 2.01(a)(v), Section 2.01(a)(viii)(A), Section 2.01(a)(xiv) and Section 2.01(a)(xvi) and the UCC financing statements and UCC assignments of financing statements referred to in Section 2.01(a)(xiii), with evidence of recording or filing thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded or filed document has been lost or returned from the recording or filing office and subsequently lost, as the case may be, the delivery requirements of Section 2.01
-89-
shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File, provided that a copy of such document or instrument (without evidence of recording or filing thereon, but certified (which certificate may relate to multiple documents and/or instruments) by the applicable public recording or filing office, the applicable title insurance company or the related Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be) has been delivered to the Custodian within 45 days after the Closing Date, and either the original of such missing document or instrument, or a copy thereof, with evidence of recording or filing, as the case may be, thereon, is delivered to the Custodian within 180 days after the Closing Date (or within such longer period after the Closing Date as the Trustee may consent to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the related Mortgage Loan Seller has provided the Trustee with evidence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, or has certified to the Trustee as to the occurrence of such recording or filing, as the case may be, and is, as certified to the Trustee no less often than quarterly, in good faith attempting to obtain from the appropriate county recorder’s or filing office such original or copy, provided such extensions do not exceed 24 months in the aggregate).
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the documents referred to in clauses (a)(xix) and (a)(xx) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall hold the original of each such document in trust on behalf of the Trust in order to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01 of this Agreement by delivering the original of each such document to the Master Servicer, who shall forward a copy of the applicable document to the Custodian. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (which amendment shall change the beneficiary of the letter of credit to the Trust in care of the Master Servicer) required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust. In the event that the documents specified in clause (a)(xx) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement are missing because the related assignment or amendment documents have not been completed, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall take all necessary steps to enable the Master Servicer to draw on the related letter of credit on behalf of the Trust including, if necessary, drawing on the letter of credit in its own name pursuant to written instructions from the Master Servicer and immediately remitting such funds (or causing such funds to be remitted) to the Master Servicer.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Custodian and the Trustee. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans in good faith without notice of adverse claims and declares that the Custodian holds and will hold such documents and all others delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File (to the extent the documents constituting the Mortgage File are actually delivered to the Custodian) for any Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee hereunder in trust, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and Companion Loan Noteholders.
The Custodian hereby certifies to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Mortgage Loan Seller that except as identified in the Custodian’s closing date certification, which shall be
-90-
delivered no later than two Business Days after the Closing Date, and which is attached as Exhibit N-1 to this Agreement, each Note in its possession and has been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all material exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review each Mortgage File and shall certify to each of the Directing Holder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Mortgage Loan Seller in the form attached as Exhibit N-2 to this Agreement that all documents (other than documents referred to in clauses (xix) and (xx) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and the assignments of financing statements referred to in clause (xiii) of Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, which shall be delivered for filing or recording by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as provided herein) referred to in Section 2.01(a) above (in the case of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(a)(iv), (v), (vi), (vii) (in the case of any endorsement thereto), (viii), (ix) and (x) through (xx) of this Agreement, as identified to it in writing by the related Mortgage Loan Seller) and any original recorded documents included in the delivery of a Mortgage File have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In so doing, the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.
If at the conclusion of such review any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File have not been executed or received, have not been recorded or filed (if required), are unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, appear not to be what they purport to be or have been torn in any materially adverse manner or mutilated or otherwise defaced, the Custodian shall promptly so notify (in the form attached as Exhibit M to this Agreement) the Trustee, the Directing Holder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the related Mortgage Loan Seller by providing a written report, setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of the defective or missing document. The Depositor shall or shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver an executed, recorded or undamaged document, as applicable, or, if the failure to deliver such document in such form constitutes a Material Defect, the Depositor shall cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in the manner provided in Section 2.03(e) of this Agreement. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee shall be responsible for any loss, cost, damage or expense to the Trust Fund resulting from any failure to receive any document constituting a portion of a Mortgage File noted on such a report or for any failure by the Depositor to use its best efforts to deliver any such document.
-91-
Contemporaneously with its execution of this Agreement, the Depositor shall cause each Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver, a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, to take such other action as is necessary to effect the delivery, assignment and/or recordation of any documents and/or instruments relating to any Mortgage Loan which have not been delivered, assigned or recorded at the time required for enforcement by the Trust Fund. Pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers will be required to effect (at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller) the assignment and recordation of its respective Loan Documents until the assignment and recordation of all such Loan Documents has been completed.
In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to the third preceding paragraph or Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to cause the Custodian or Trustee to, and the Custodian or Trustee will have no responsibility to, examine any opinions or determine whether any document is legal, valid, binding or enforceable, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, or whether any Person executing any document or rendering any opinion is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.
The Custodian shall hold that portion of the Trust Fund delivered to the Custodian consisting of “instruments” (as such term is defined in Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Minnesota on the date hereof) in Minnesota and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, shall not remove such instruments from Minnesota, as applicable, unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (obtained and delivered at the expense of the Person requesting the removal of such instruments from Minnesota) that in the event the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee is deemed not to be a sale, after such removal, the Trustee will possess a first priority perfected security interest in such instruments.

(d) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a Breach or a Defect (each as defined below) (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives a Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), then such Person shall deliver written notice of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Depositor and the related Mortgage Loan Seller, in each case within ten Business Days from such party’s receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable.

-95-
In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request [Withdrawal]” under Section 2.03(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the [_____] Trust 20[__]-[__], Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series [_____] 20[__]-[__] requiring action by you as the recipient of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal thereunder”. Upon receipt of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03(d) with respect to such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.
(e) A “Defect” shall exist with respect to a Mortgage Loan if any document constituting a part of the related Mortgage File has not been delivered within the time periods provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, has not been properly executed, is missing, does not appear to be regular on its face or contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. A “Breach” shall mean a breach of any representation or warranty of any Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If any party hereto discovers or receives notice of a Defect or a Breach, and if such Defect is a Material Defect or such Breach is a Material Breach, as applicable, then such party, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall give prompt written notice thereof to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.14(d) of this Agreement), and promptly, but not earlier than the second Business Day after such party provides the 17g-5 Information Provider such notice, each Rating Agency, and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Holder. If any such Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee in any Mortgage Loan hereunder, then such Defect shall constitute a “Material Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach,” as the case may be; provided, however, that if any of the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (xi) and (xix) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are not delivered as required in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, it shall be deemed a Material Defect. The Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not be required to make any such determination. Promptly upon receiving written notice of any such Material Defect or Material Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan, accompanied by a written demand to take the actions contemplated by this sentence from the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall, not later than 90 days from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice of such Material Defect or Material
-96-
Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Material Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, not later than 90 days after the Mortgage Loan Seller or any party hereto discovering such Material Defect or Material Breach) (any such 90-day period, the “Initial Resolution Period”), (i) cure the same in all material respects, (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Repurchase Price in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (iii) substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that, in no event shall such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account (or, with respect to any Loan Combination, the applicable Loan Combination Collection Account) any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith; provided that if (i) such Material Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within the Initial Resolution Period or, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the time period set forth therein, (ii) such Material Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions and (iii) the Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect or Material Breach within the Initial Resolution Period, then the Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional period equal to the applicable Resolution Extension Period to complete such cure or, failing such cure, to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a hotel, restaurant (operated by a Borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, theatre or fitness center (operated by a Borrower) property, then the failure to deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall not be a Material Defect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Material Breach or Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Loan Documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released) and the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur.
In the event that a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Defect or a Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.06(e) of this Agreement. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Breach or Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Breach or Material Defect under any circumstances.

This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trust, provided, however, that prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trustee from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect or a Material Breach in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), and provided, further, that such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Repurchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and provided, further that a Material Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.
If (x) there exists a breach of any representation or warranty on the part of a Mortgage Loan Seller as set forth in, or made pursuant to, certain representations set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement relating to fees and expenses payable by the Borrower associated with the exercise of a defeasance option, a waiver of a “due-on-sale” provision or a “due-on-encumbrance” provision or the release of any Mortgaged Property, and (y) the related Loan Documents specifically prohibit the Master Servicer or Special Servicer from requiring the related Borrower to pay such fees and expenses, then, upon notice by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such breach by transferring to the Collection Account, within 90 days of the such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice, the amount of any such fees and expenses borne by the Trust Fund that are the basis of such breach. Upon its making such deposit, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such breach in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Trust regarding any such breach, regardless of whether it constitutes a Material Breach, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller will not be obligated to repurchase or otherwise cure such breach.
(f) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, (A) the Custodian, the Master Servicer (with respect to any Performing Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller all portions of the Mortgage File (in the case of the Custodian) and the Servicing File (in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, upon delivery (i) to each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a trust receipt and (ii) to the Custodian by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of a Request for Release and an acknowledgement by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of its receipt of the Repurchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall Amount from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, (B) each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned without recourse in the form of endorsement or assignment provided to the Custodian by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller as shall be necessary to vest in the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such Mortgage Loan to the extent such ownership was transferred to the Trustee (provided, however, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate in furnishing necessary information to the extent in its possession to the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s preparation of such endorsement or assignment)
-98-
and (C) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall release, or cause a release of, any escrow payments and reserve funds held by the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, or on the Certificate Administrator’s, the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, behalf, in respect of such Mortgage Loan to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.
(g) The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 6 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement (with respect to the related Mortgage Loan), out of the related Repurchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount, as applicable, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and second, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clause first are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account in each case with interest thereon at the Advance Rate from the time such expense was incurred to, but excluding, the date such expense was reimbursed. To the extent the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller prevails in such proceeding, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for all necessary and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding.
So long as document exceptions are outstanding, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall prepare and forward to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (as identified to the Custodian by the Certificate Administrator) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, a document exception report setting forth the then current status of any Defects related to the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller in a format mutually agreed upon between the Custodian and the Trustee.
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Custodian for such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan (with a copy to the Master Servicer), the related Mortgage File with the related Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01(a)(i) hereof. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in or prior to the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and, if received by the Master Servicer, shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to the related Mortgage Loan Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of repurchase or substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment(s) due on the related Removed Mortgage Loan, if and to the extent received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, as applicable, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received thereafter in respect of such Removed Mortgage Loan.
In any month in which a Mortgage Loan Seller substitutes one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Removed Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
-99-
determine the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount and promptly notify the Certificate Administrator thereof. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to deposit into the Collection Account and/or the applicable Loan Combination Collection Account, as applicable, cash equal to such amount concurrently with the delivery of the Mortgage Files for such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans, without any reimbursement thereof. The Certificate Administrator shall also direct such Mortgage Loan Seller to give written notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer of such deposit. The Certificate Administrator shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of each Removed Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan; and, upon such amendment, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto. Upon any such substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
It is understood and agreed that Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting any Breach (including a Breach with respect to a Mortgage Loan failing to constitute a Qualified Mortgage) or any Defect.
(h) In the event that any litigation is commenced which alleges facts which, in the judgment of the Depositor, could constitute a breach of any of the Depositor’s representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor hereby reserves the right to conduct the defense of such litigation at its expense and shall not be required to obtain any consent from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, unless such defense results in any liability of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Directing Holder, as applicable.
(i) If for any reason a Mortgage Loan Seller fails to fulfill its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall use reasonable efforts in enforcing any obligation of such Mortgage Loan Seller to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement all at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
