connection herewith. This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. 12. Assignment and Assumption. With respect to the Collateral Interests that are subject to a Participation Agreement, the parties hereto intend that the provisions of this Section 12 serve as an assignment and assumption agreement between the Seller, as the assignor, and the Issuer, as the assignee. Accordingly, the Seller hereby (and in accordance with and subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement) assigns, grants, sells, transfers, delivers, sets over, and conveys to the Issuer all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and arising out of the related Participation Agreement and the Issuer hereby accepts (subject to applicable provisions of this Agreement) the foregoing assignment and assumes all of the rights and obligations of the Seller with respect to related Participation Agreement from and after the Closing Date.

Guarantee by GPMT (a) GPMT hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Issuer the due and punctual payment of all sums due by, and the performance of all obligations of, the Seller under Section 4(e) and Section 4(f) of this Agreement, as and when the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) according to the terms hereof. In the case of the failure of the Seller to make any such payment or perform such obligation as and when due, GPMT hereby agrees to make such payment or cause such payment or perform such obligation to be made or such obligation to be performed, promptly upon written demand by the Issuer to GPMT, but any delay in providing such notice shall not under any circumstances reduce the liability of GPMT or operate as a waiver of Issuer’s right to demand payment or performance.

This guarantee shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the renewal, extension, modification, or waiver, in whole or in part, of any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the Indenture that are subject to this guarantee. 24552556.6.BUSINESS -15-

Exhibit A LIST OF CLOSING DATE COLLATERAL INTERESTS Collateral Interest Collateral Interest Type Exhibit A-1 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
Exhibit B COLLATERAL INTERESTS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES A. Representations and Warranties Concerning Collateral Interests. With respect to each Collateral Interest: (1) Ownership of Collateral Interest. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Issuer, no Collateral Interest was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller) or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Collateral Interest free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to the related Participation Agreement), any other ownership interests on, in or to such Collateral Interest other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Collateral Interest, and the assignment to the Issuer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Collateral Interest free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan. (2) Collateral Interest Schedule. The information pertaining to each Collateral Interest which is set forth in Exhibit A to the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement to be contained therein. B. Representations and Warranties Concerning Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan: (1) Whole Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a loan. (2) Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one action, or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the Exhibit B-1 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Borrower with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Loan Documents. (3) Mortgage Provisions. The Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications. (4) Loan Document Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Collateral Interest File or as otherwise provided in the related Loan Documents (a) the material terms of the Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, Participation Agreement, if applicable, and related Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Borrower nor the related guarantor nor the related participation institution has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan or Participation, if applicable. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Collateral Interest File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by Seller on or after the Cut-off Date. (5) Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to the Issuer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Issuer. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits is freely assignable without the consent of the related Borrower. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Borrower’s fee or leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth in Schedule 1(a) to this Exhibit B (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are Exhibit B-2 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection. (6) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy or appearing of record; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan (each a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. (7) Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no Exhibit B-3 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). The Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Borrower except as set forth in Schedule 1(b). (8) Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits. There exists as part of the related Collateral Interest File an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee. (9) UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Borrower and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non- material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. (10) Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date. An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each Exhibit B-4 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan. (11) Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes, governmental assessments and other similar outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority. (12) Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut- off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property. (13) Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 6), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 10, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 24, reasonable and customary bankruptcy, civil records, UCC-1, and judgment searches of the Borrowers and guarantors, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 40), on and as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, involving any Borrower, guarantor, or Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Borrower’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Borrower’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Loan Documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property. (14) Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Issuer or its servicer. (15) No Holdbacks. The Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of the Collateral Interest attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement has been fully disbursed as of the Cut-off Exhibit B-5 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback. (16) Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or (iii) at least “A-“ from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC Business (“S&P”) (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Borrower and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property. Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Loan Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months). If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Borrower is required to maintain insurance in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program. If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Borrower is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms. The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Loan Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. Exhibit B-6 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-“ by S&P, in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable. The Loan Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon. All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at such Borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Borrower’s cost and expense and to charge such Borrower for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller. (17) Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created or the non-recourse carveout Exhibit B-7 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
guarantor under the Mortgage Loan has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith. (18) No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements have been obtained under the Title Policy. (19) No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller. (20) [Intentionally left blank.] (21) Compliance with Usury Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, exit fees, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury. (22) Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date and as of each date that Seller held the Mortgage Note, Seller was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Issuer. (23) Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee.

Each Borrower covenants in the Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial, multi-family and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Borrower to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. (26) Recourse Obligations. The Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that (a) the related Borrower and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Borrower and/or its principals specified in the related Loan Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misappropriation of rents (following an Event of Default), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property, and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Loan Documents, and (b) the Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Borrower and at least one individual or entity, if the related Borrower files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

(29) Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special- form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Loan Documents generally only require that the related Borrower take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain insurance against damage resulting from acts of terrorism and other acts of sabotage unless lack of such insurance will result in a downgrade of the ratings of the related Mortgage Loan. (30) Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Loan Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Loan Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Borrower, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Loan Documents, (iii) transfers that do not result in a change of Control of the related Borrower or Exhibit B-10 24552556.6.BUSINESS

For purposes of the foregoing representation, “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial interests, by contract or otherwise. (31) Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to be a Single- Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of the Borrower with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date in excess of $5 million provide that the Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Borrower. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Loan Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Borrower for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity. (32) Intentionally left blank. (33) Floating Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate). (34) Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor or sub ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the Exhibit B-11 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit. With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that: (a) The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage; (b) The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Collateral Interest File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender (except termination or cancellation if (i) notice of a default under the Ground Lease is provided to lender and (ii) such default is curable by lender as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period), and no such consent has been granted by the Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Collateral Interest File; (c) The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes); (d) The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject; (e) The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor; Exhibit B-12 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
(f) The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date; (g) The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender; (h) A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease; (i) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization; (j) Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Loan Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; (k) In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and (l) Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. Exhibit B-13 24552556.6.BUSINESS

(37) No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in Schedule 1(a) to this Exhibit B. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan (subject to the related Participation Agreement) may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Loan Documents. (38) Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, no Borrower, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding. (39) Organization of Borrower. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Borrower delivered by the Borrower in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Borrower 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 Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Mortgage Loan has a Borrower that is an Affiliate of another Borrower. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (39) means, a Borrower that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Borrower.) (40) Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Exhibit B-14 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Borrower and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Borrower that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Borrower was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Borrower having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property. (41) Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Closing Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is either a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan.

Exhibit B-15 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
(42) Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any mortgage loan that is not held by the Issuer. (43) Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Borrower other than in accordance with the Loan Documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Borrower or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Loan Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Loan Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Borrower under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof. (44) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan. C. Representations and Warranties Concerning Mezzanine Loans. With respect to each Mezzanine Loan: (1) Whole Loan. Each Mezzanine Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a loan. (2) Loan Document Status. Each related mezzanine note, pledge agreement, guaranty and any other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related mezzanine Borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mezzanine Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related mezzanine Borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non- recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one action, or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except the Standard Qualifications. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related mezzanine Borrower with respect to any of the related note or other Mezzanine Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Mezzanine Loan, that would deny the mezzanine lender the principal benefits intended to be provided by the note or other Mezzanine Loan documents. (3) Pledged Equity. The Mezzanine Loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the direct or indirect equity interests the entity or entities that own the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. (4) Pledge Provisions. The Mezzanine Loan documents for each Mezzanine Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the pledged equity interests of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by UCC foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications. Exhibit B-16 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
(5) Loan Document Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Collateral Interest File or as otherwise provided in the related Mezzanine Loan documents (a) the material terms of the related Mezzanine Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mezzanine Loan; (b) no pledged equity has been released from the lien of the related pledge agreement in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such pledge agreement; and (c) neither the related mezzanine Borrower nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mezzanine Loan. With respect to each Mezzanine Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Collateral Interest File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mezzanine Loan consented to by Seller on or after the Cut-off Date. (6) Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mezzanine Loan and agreements executed in connection therewith to the Issuer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Issuer. Each Mezzanine Loan is freely assignable without the consent of the related Borrower. The pledge of the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan creates a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest in such collateral, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection. (7) UCC 9 Policies. If the Seller’s security interest in the Mezzanine Loan is covered by a UCC 9 insurance policy, with respect to the “UCC 9” policy relating to the Mezzanine Loan: (i) such policy is assignable by the Seller to the Issuer, (ii) such policy is in full force and effect, (iii) all premiums thereon have been paid, (iv) no claims have been made by or on behalf of the Seller thereunder, and (v) no claims have been paid thereunder. (8) Cross-Defaults. An event of default under the related Mortgage Loan will constitute an event of default with respect to the related Mezzanine Loan. (9) Payment Procedure. If a cash management agreement is in place with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan, except following the occurrence and during the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan event of default, any funds remaining in the related lockbox account for the Mortgage Loan after payment of all amounts due under the Loan Documents are required to be distributed to the holder of the Mezzanine Loan and distributed by the holder or the servicer of the Mortgage Loan, to the holder of the Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan documents. (10) Insurance Proceeds. The Mezzanine Loan documents require that all insurance policies procured by the Mortgage Loan Borrower with respect to the property under the related Loan Documents name the mezzanine lender, the related mezzanine Borrower and their respective successors and assigns as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear. Exhibit B-17 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
(11) Actions Concerning Mezzanine Loan. To the Seller’s knowledge, based on judgment searches of the mezzanine Borrowers and guarantors, on and as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, involving any mezzanine Borrower an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) the validity or enforceability of the Mezzanine Loan, (b) such mezzanine Borrower’s ability to perform under the Mezzanine Loan, (c) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty or (d) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mezzanine Loan documents. (12) Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Mezzanine Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Mezzanine Loan documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Issuer or its servicer. (13) No Holdbacks. The Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of the Mezzanine Loan attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement has been fully disbursed as of the Cut-off Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder except in those cases where the full amount of the Mezzanine Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback. (14) No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mezzanine Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller. (15) Compliance with Usury Laws. The Interest Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, exit fees, or prepayment premiums) of such Mezzanine Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury. (16) Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mezzanine Loan requires the mezzanine Borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mezzanine Loan is outstanding. Both the Mezzanine Loan documents and the organizational documents of the Borrower with respect to each Mezzanine Loan with a Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date in excess of $5 million provide that the Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mezzanine Loan with a Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Borrower. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mezzanine Loan has a Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mezzanine Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning the equity collateral securing the Mezzanine Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to its ownership of the equity collateral, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mezzanine Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related Exhibit B-18 24552556.6.BUSINESS


 
to the equity collateral securing the Mezzanine Loans, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mezzanine Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity. (17) Floating Interest Rates. Each Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate). (18) Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Mezzanine Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of similar commercial loans. (19) Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mezzanine Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mezzanine Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mezzanine Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Annex C. (20) No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mezzanine Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Mezzanine Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Closing Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mezzanine Loan or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mezzanine Loan, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in Schedule 1(a) to this Exhibit B. No person other than the holder of such Mezzanine Loan (subject to the related Participation Agreement) may declare any event of default under the Mezzanine Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mezzanine Loan documents. (21) Bankruptcy.
