(PRINCIPAL LOANS)
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement ("Agreement"), dated October 11,
2007, between

herein. Purchaser
will convey the Mortgage Loans to a trust (the "Trust") created
pursuant to a

Centerline

and
authenticating agent. In exchange for the Mortgage Loans and
certain other
mortgage loans to be purchased by Purchaser (collectively the
"Other Mortgage
Loans"), the Trust will issue to the Depositor pass-through
certificates to be
known as Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc.,
Commercial Mortgage

The

The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-AB, Class A-4, Class
A-1A, Class

sold by
Purchaser to Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Morgan Stanley &

Private
Certificates for sale in transactions exempt from the registration
requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a Private Placement
Memorandum dated
October 11, 2007 (the "Memorandum").
In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, Seller
and Purchaser
hereby agree as follows:
1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE.
1.1 Seller agrees to sell, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, on a
servicing
released basis, the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule (the
"Mortgage
Loan Schedule") annexed hereto as Exhibit 1, as such schedule may
be amended to
reflect the actual Mortgage Loans accepted by Purchaser pursuant to
the terms
hereof. The Cut-Off Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans is
October 1, 2007.
The Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance as of
the close of
business on the Cut-Off Date, after giving effect to any payments
due on or
before such date, whether or not received, of $228,309,785. The
sale of the
Mortgage Loans shall take place on October 25, 2007 or such other
date as shall
be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the "Closing Date").
The purchase
price to be paid by Purchaser for the Mortgage Loans shall equal
the amount set
forth as such purchase price in a letter dated as of the date
hereof (the
"Purchase Price Side Letter"), between the parties to this
Agreement and entered
into in connection with this Agreement and the issuance of the
Certificates,
which purchase price excludes accrued interest and applicable deal
expenses. The
purchase price shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer in
immediately available
funds on the Closing Date.
1.2 On the Closing Date, Purchaser will assign to the Trustee
pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement all of its right, title and
interest in and to
the Mortgage Loans and its rights under this Agreement (to the
extent set forth
in Section 14 hereof), and the Trustee shall succeed to such right,
title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and Purchaser's rights under
this
Agreement (to the extent set forth in Section 14 hereof).
2. CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS.
2.1 Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of
the
consideration referred to in Section 1 hereof and the satisfaction
of the
conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, Seller does hereby
transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without
recourse, except as
specifically provided herein all the right, title and interest of
Seller, with
the understanding that a Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale
Agreement, dated
October 1, 2007, will be executed by Seller and the Master
Servicer, in and to
the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of
the Closing
Date. The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to
time on or
prior to the Closing Date, shall conform to the requirements of
this Agreement
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with such
transfer and
assignment, Seller shall deliver to or on behalf of the Trustee, on
behalf of
Purchaser, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note (as
described in
clause 2.2.1 hereof) for each Mortgage Loan and on or prior to the
fifth
Business Day after the Closing Date, five limited powers of
attorney
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 in favor of
the Trustee
and the Special Servicer to empower the Trustee and, in the event
of the failure
or incapacity of the Trustee, the Special Servicer, to submit for
recording, at
the expense of Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be
recorded as
described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any
intervening assignments
with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included
in the
Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously
been delivered
to the Trustee). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with the
Trustee and the
Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of
attorney or
revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes
of such
recordation. The parties hereto agree that no such power of
attorney shall be
used with respect to any Mortgage Loan by or under authorization by
any party
hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document
described in the
second preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan
remains unremedied
as of the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days following the
delivery of
notice of such absence to Seller, but in no event earlier than 18
months from
the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage
Loan becomes
a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall submit such
documents, at
Seller's expense, after the periods set forth above, provided,
however, the
Trustee shall not submit such assignments for recording if Seller
produces
evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and
certifies that
Seller is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office.
In addition,
not later than the 30th day following the Closing Date, Seller
shall deliver to
or on behalf of the Trustee each of the remaining documents or
instruments
specified in Section 2.2 hereof (with such exceptions as are
permitted by this
Section 2) with respect to each Mortgage Loan (each, a "Mortgage
File"). (Seller
acknowledges that the term "without recourse" does not modify the
duties of
Seller under Section 5 hereof.)
2.2 All Mortgage Files, or portions thereof, delivered prior to the
Closing Date
are to be held by or on behalf of the Trustee in escrow on behalf
of Seller at
all times prior to the Closing Date. The Mortgage Files shall be
released from
escrow upon closing of the sale of the Mortgage Loans and payments

purchase price therefor as contemplated hereby. The Mortgage File

Trustee (as the
case may be) within 45 days of the Closing Date. In addition, a
copy of any

2.3 The Assignments of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of
Leases referred
to in Sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.6 hereof may be in the form of a
single instrument
assigning the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases to the extent
permitted by
applicable law. To avoid the unnecessary expense and
administrative
inconvenience associated with the execution and recording or filing
of multiple
assignments of mortgages, assignments of leases (to the extent
separate from the
mortgages) and assignments of UCC financing statements, Seller
shall execute, in
accordance with Section 2.6 hereof, the assignments of mortgages,
the
assignments of leases (to the extent separate from the mortgages)
and the
assignments of UCC financing statements relating to the Mortgage
Loans naming
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as assignee.
Notwithstanding the
fact that such assignments of mortgages, assignments of leases (to
the extent
separate from the assignments of mortgages) and assignments of UCC
financing
statements shall name the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders as the
assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
Mortgage Loans shall
for all purposes be deemed to have been transferred from Seller to
Purchaser and
from Purchaser to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
2.4 If Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any
Mortgage Loan,
any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in Sections
2.2.2, 2.2.3,
2.2.5 or 2.2.6 hereof, with evidence of recording thereon, solely
because of a
delay caused by the public recording office where such document or
instrument
has been delivered for recordation within such 45 day period, but
Seller
delivers a photocopy thereof (certified by the appropriate county
recorder's
office to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof
submitted for
recording), to the Trustee within such 45 day period, Seller shall
then deliver
within 90 days after the Closing Date the recorded document (or
within such
longer period after the Closing Date as the Trustee may consent to,
which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as Seller is, as
certified in
writing to the Trustee no less often than monthly, in good faith
attempting to
obtain from the appropriate county recorder's office such original
or
photocopy).
2.5 The Trustee, as assignee or transferee of Purchaser, shall be
entitled to
all scheduled payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans after
the Cut-Off
Date, all other payments of principal collected after the Cut-Off
Date (other
than scheduled payments of principal due on or before the Cut-Off
Date), and all
payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the period
commencing on
the Cut-Off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest
due on or
before the Cut-Off Date and collected after the Cut-Off Date shall
belong to
Seller.
2.6 Within 45 days following the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver
and
Purchaser, the Trustee or the agents of either may submit or cause
to be
submitted for recordation at the expense of Seller, in the
appropriate public
office for real property records, each assignment referred to in
clauses 2.2.4
and 2.2.6(ii) above. Within 90 days following the Closing Date,
Seller shall
deliver and Purchaser, the Trustee or the agents of either may
submit or cause
to be submitted for filing, at the expense of Seller, in the
appropriate public
office for UCC financing statements, the assignment referred to in
clause 2.2.9.
If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded
or unfiled, as
the case may be, because of a defect therein, Seller shall prepare
a substitute
therefor or cure such defect, and Seller shall, at its own expense
(except in
the case of a document or instrument that is lost by the Trustee),
record or
file, as the case may be, and deliver such document or instrument
in accordance
with this Section 2.
2.7 Documents that are in the possession of Seller, its agents or
its
subcontractors that relate to the Mortgage Loans and that are not
required to be
delivered to the Trustee shall be shipped by Seller to or at the
direction of
the Master Servicer, on behalf of Purchaser, on or prior to the
75th day after
the Closing Date, in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Primary
Servicing
Agreement, if applicable.
2.8 The documents required to be delivered to the Master Servicer
(or in the
alternative, the Primary Servicer) shall include, to the extent
required to be
(and actually) delivered to Seller pursuant to the applicable
Mortgage Loan
documents, copies of the following items: the Mortgage Note, any
Mortgage, the
Assignment of Leases and the Assignment of Mortgage, any
guaranty/indemnity
agreement, any loan agreement, the insurance policies or
certificates, as
applicable, the property inspection reports, any financial
statements on the
property, any escrow analysis, the tax bills, the Appraisal, the
environmental
report, the engineering report, the asset summary, financial
information on the
Borrower/sponsor and any guarantors, any letters of credit, any
intercreditor
agreement and any Environmental Insurance Policies. Delivery of any
of the
foregoing documents to the Primary Servicer shall be deemed a
delivery to the
Master Servicer and satisfy Seller's obligations under this
subparagraph.
2.9 Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans by Seller to Purchaser
pursuant to this
Agreement, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the
other contents
of the related Mortgage File shall be vested in Purchaser and its
assigns, and
the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the
related Mortgage
Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of Seller shall
immediately
vest in Purchaser and its assigns, and shall be delivered promptly
by Seller to
or on behalf of either the Trustee or the Master Servicer as set
forth herein,
subject to the requirements of the Primary Servicing Agreement.
Seller's and
Purchaser's records shall reflect the transfer of each Mortgage
Loan from Seller
to Purchaser and its assigns as a sale.
2.10 It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the
Mortgage Loans and related property to Purchaser by Seller as
provided in this
Section 2 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage
Loans and
related property. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such
conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and related
property by
Seller to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Seller.
However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans or
any related property are held to be the property of Seller, or if
for any other
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security
interest in the
Mortgage Loans or any related property, then:
2.10.1
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement; and
2.10.2 the
conveyance provided for in this Section 2 shall be deemed to be
a grant by Seller to Purchaser of a security interest in all of
Seller's right,
title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in
and to:
A. All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments,
documents,
money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods,
letters of
credit, advices of credit and investment property consisting
of,
arising from or relating to any of the following property: the
Mortgage
Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the
related
Mortgage Notes, Mortgages, security agreements, and title,
hazard
and other
insurance policies, all distributions with respect thereto
payable
after the Cut-Off Date, all substitute or replacement Mortgage
Loans and
all distributions with respect thereto, and the Mortgage Files;
B. All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments,
documents,
money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods,
letters of
credit, advices of credit, investment property and other rights
arising
from or by virtue of the disposition of, or collections with
respect
to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to, or claims
against
other Persons with respect to, all or any part of the
collateral
described
in clause (A) above (including any accrued discount realized on
liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); and
C. All cash and non-cash proceeds of the collateral described
in
clauses
(A) and (B) above.
2.11 The possession by Purchaser or its designee of the Mortgage
Notes, the
Mortgages, and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of
credit,
instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated
securities shall be
deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a
purchaser for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC
(including,
without limitation, Section 9-313 thereof) as in force in the
relevant
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller makes no
representation or
warranty as to the perfection of any such security interest.
2.12 Notifications to Persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments,
receipts, or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed
to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from,
securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or Persons holding
for,
Purchaser or its designee, as applicable, for the purpose of
perfecting such
security interest under applicable law.
2.13 The Seller hereby agrees to provide the Purchaser with prompt
notice of any
information it receives which indicates that the transfer of each
Mortgage Loan
from the Seller to the Purchaser may not be treated as a sale. The
Seller shall,
to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable
actions as
may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a
security interest in the property described above, such security
interest would
be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable
law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Agreement. In such
case, the Seller hereby authorizes the Master Servicer, the Trustee
and the
Custodian to file all filings necessary to maintain the
effectiveness of any
original filings necessary under the UCC as in effect in any
jurisdiction to
perfect such security interest in such property. In connection
herewith, the
Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured
party and
creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant
jurisdiction.
2.14 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and
subject to
Section 2.1 hereof, Purchaser shall not be required to purchase any
Mortgage
Loan as to which any Mortgage Note (endorsed as described in clause
2.2.1)
required to be delivered to or on behalf of the Trustee or the
Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 2 on or before the Closing Date is not so
delivered, or
is not properly executed or is defective on its face, and
Purchaser's acceptance
of the related Mortgage Loan on the Closing Date shall in no way
constitute a
waiver of such omission or defect or of Purchaser's or its
successors' and
assigns' rights in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5
hereof.
3. EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES AND DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW.
3.1 Seller shall (i) deliver to Purchaser on or before the Closing
Date a
diskette acceptable to Purchaser that contains such information
about the
Mortgage Loans as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, (ii)
deliver to
Purchaser investor files (collectively the "Collateral
Information") with
respect to the assets proposed to be included in the Mortgage Pool
and made
available at Purchaser's headquarters in New York, and (iii)
otherwise cooperate
fully with Purchaser in its examination of the credit files,
underwriting
documentation and Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans and its due
diligence
review of the Mortgage Loans. The fact that Purchaser has conducted
or has
failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the credit
files,
underwriting documentation or Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans
shall not
affect the right of Purchaser or the Trustee to cause Seller to
cure any
Material Document Defect or Material Breach (each as defined
below), or to
repurchase or replace the defective Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 5 hereof.
3.2 On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall allow
representatives of any
of Purchaser, each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser, the
Trustee, the Special
Servicer and each Rating Agency to examine and audit all books,
records and
files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans, Seller's underwriting
procedures and
Seller's ability to perform or observe all of the terms, covenants
and
conditions of this Agreement. Such examinations and audits shall
take place at
one or more offices of Seller during normal business hours and
shall not be
conducted in a manner that is disruptive to Seller's normal
business operations
upon reasonable prior advance notice. In the course of such
examinations and
audits, Seller will make available to such representatives of any
of Purchaser,
each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Special
Servicer and
each Rating Agency reasonably adequate facilities, as well as the
assistance of
a sufficient number of knowledgeable and responsible individuals
who are
familiar with the Mortgage Loans and the terms of this Agreement,
and Seller
shall cooperate fully with any such examination and audit in all
material
respects. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide
Purchaser with
all material information regarding Seller's financial condition and
access to
knowledgeable financial or accounting officers for the purpose of
answering
questions with respect to Seller's financial condition, financial
statements as
provided to Purchaser or other developments affecting Seller's
ability to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise
affecting Seller in
any material respect. Within 45 days after the Closing Date, Seller
shall
provide the Master Servicer or Primary Servicer, if applicable,
with any
additional information identified by the Master Servicer or Primary
Servicer, if
applicable, as necessary to complete the CMSA Property File, to the
extent that
such information is available.
3.3 Purchaser may exercise any of its rights hereunder through one
or more
designees or agents, provided Purchaser has provided Seller with
prior notice of
the identity of such designee or agent.
3.4 Purchaser shall keep confidential any information regarding
Seller and the
Mortgage Loans that has been delivered into Purchaser's possession
and that is
not otherwise publicly available; provided, however, that such
information shall
not be kept confidential (and the right to require confidentiality
under any
confidentiality agreement is hereby waived) to the extent such
information is
required to be included in the Free Writing Prospectus, the
Memorandum or the
Prospectus Supplement or Purchaser is required by law or court
order to disclose
such information. If Purchaser is required to disclose in the Free
Writing
Prospectus, the Memorandum or the Prospectus Supplement
confidential information
regarding Seller as described in the preceding sentence, Purchaser
shall provide
to Seller a copy of the proposed form of such disclosure prior to
making such
disclosure and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within two
Business Days,
notify Purchaser of any inaccuracies therein, in which case
Purchaser shall
modify such form in a manner that corrects such inaccuracies. If
Purchaser is
required by law or court order to disclose confidential information
regarding
Seller as described in the second preceding sentence, Purchaser
shall notify
Seller and cooperate in Seller's efforts to obtain a protective
order or other
reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded
such
information and, if in the absence of a protective order or such
assurance,
Purchaser is compelled as a matter of law to disclose such
information,
Purchaser shall, prior to making such disclosure, advise and
consult with Seller
and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of
such
disclosure and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
confidential
treatment therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably
advised by
counsel that Purchaser is required by a regulatory agency or court
order to make
such disclosure immediately, then Purchaser shall be permitted to
make such
disclosure without prior review by Seller.
4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AND
PURCHASER.
4.1 To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby
makes for
the benefit of Purchaser and its assigns with respect to each
Mortgage Loan as
of the date hereof (or as of such other date specifically set forth
in the
particular representation and warranty) each of the representations
and
warranties set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, except as otherwise set
forth on
Schedule A attached hereto, and hereby further represents, warrants
and
covenants to Purchaser as of the date hereof that:
4.1.1
Seller is duly organized and is validly existing as a limited
liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
Seller has the requisite power and authority and legal right to own
the Mortgage
Loans and to transfer and convey the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser
and has the
requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, engage in the
transactions
contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions
of, this
Agreement.
4.1.2 This
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by Seller, and assuming the due authorization, execution
and delivery
hereof by Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes the valid, legal
and binding
agreement of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as such
enforcement may be limited by (A) laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency,
reorganization, receivership or moratorium, (B) other laws relating
to or
affecting the rights of creditors generally, (C) general equity
principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity
or at law) or (D) public policy considerations underlying the
securities laws,
to the extent that such public policy considerations limit the
enforceability of
the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide
indemnification from
liabilities under applicable securities laws.
4.1.3 No
consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or
filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is
required,
under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and
performance of or
compliance by Seller with this Agreement, or the consummation by
Seller of any
transaction contemplated hereby, other than (A) such qualifications
as may be
required under state securities or blue sky laws, (B) the filing or
recording of
financing statements, instruments of assignment and other similar
documents
necessary in connection with Seller's sale of the Mortgage Loans to
Purchaser,
(C) such consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications,

notice would not
have a material adverse effect on the performance by Seller under
this
Agreement.
4.1.4
Neither the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, nor
the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Seller,
conflicts or
will conflict with, results or will result in a breach of, or

Seller's articles
of organization or by-laws, (B) any term or provision of any
material agreement,
contract, instrument or indenture to which Seller is a party or by
which it or
any of its assets is bound or results in the creation or imposition
of any lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any of its property pursuant to the
terms of any such
indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument, other than
pursuant to this
Agreement, or (C) after giving effect to the consents or taking of
the actions
contemplated in Section 4.1.3 hereof, any law, rule, regulation,
order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
authority
having jurisdiction over Seller or its assets, except where in any
of the
instances contemplated by clauses (B) or (C) above, any conflict,
breach or
default, or creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance, will not
have a material adverse effect on the consummation of the
transactions
contemplated hereby by Seller or its ability to perform its
obligations and
duties hereunder or result in any material adverse change in the
business,
operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Seller, or
in any
material impairment of the right or ability of Seller to carry on
its business
substantially as now conducted.
4.1.5
There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations
of,
Seller pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened in writing
against Seller
before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the
outcome of which
could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the
transfer of
the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser or the execution or delivery by,
or
enforceability against, Seller of this Agreement or have an effect
on the
financial condition of Seller that would materially and adversely
affect the
ability of Seller to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.
4.1.6 On
the Closing Date, the sale of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
this
Agreement will effect a transfer by Seller of all of its right,
title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser.
4.1.7 To
Seller's knowledge, Seller's Information (as defined in that
certain indemnification agreement, dated October 11, 2007, between
Seller,
Purchaser, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers (the
"Indemnification
Agreement")) does not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, this subparagraph 4.1.7
shall run
exclusively to the benefit of Purchaser and no other party.
4.1.8 The
Seller has complied with the disclosure requirements of
Regulation AB that arise from its role as "originator" and
"sponsor" in
connection with the issuance of the Public Certificates.
4.1.9 The
Seller hereby agrees to deliver to the Purchaser (or with
respect to any Serviced Companion Mortgage Loan that is deposited
into an Other
Securitization, the depositor in such Other Securitization) and the
Paying Agent
or the Trustee, as applicable, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure,
any
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure
Information set
forth next to the Seller's name on Schedule XV, Schedule XVI or
Schedule XVII of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in formatting reasonably
appropriate for
inclusion in such form) (collectively, "Seller Reporting
Information"); provided
that, the Seller Reporting Information shall not be exclusive of
any additional
disclosure items specifically related to the Seller that may be
added to Form
10-K, Form 10-D or Form 8-K subsequent to the date hereof that are
required to
be included in the Exchange Act reports related to the Trust if the
Depositor or
the Paying Agent provides the Seller with notice of such
additional
requirements. The Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver
proposed
disclosure language relating to any such event described under
Items 1117 and
1119 of Regulation AB and Item 1.03 to Form 8-K to the Paying Agent
or the
Trustee, as applicable, and the Purchaser within one Business Day
and in any
event no later than two Business Days of the Seller becoming aware
of such event
and shall provide disclosure relating to any other Seller Reporting
Information
required to be disclosed by Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1.9
on Form 8-K,
Form 10-D or Form 10-K within two Business Days following the
Purchaser's
request for such disclosure language. The obligation of the Seller
to provide
the above-referenced disclosure materials shall be suspended (for
so long as
neither the Trust nor, with respect to any Serviced Companion
Mortgage Loan
related to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage sold to the Trust by the
Seller, the
trust in the related Other Securitization, is subject to the
reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act) upon the Paying Agent or the
Trustee, as
applicable, filing a Form 15 with respect to the Trust as to that
fiscal year in
accordance with Section 13.8 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
or the
reporting requirements with respect to the Trust under the
Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, have otherwise been automatically
suspended; provided
that, for the avoidance of doubt, the suspension of such
information reporting
does not apply to Seller Reporting Information that is required to
be provided
for the fiscal year prior to suspension of the Trust's reporting
requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including Additional
Form 10-K
Disclosure required to be disclosed on the Form 10-K related to the
fiscal year
preceding the year in which a Form 15 was filed). The Purchaser
shall provide
the Seller with notice (which notice may be sent via facsimile or
by email) if
the Paying Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, does not file such
Form 15
Suspension Notification pursuant to Section 13.8 of the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the information to
be provided by
it pursuant to this Section will be used in the preparation of
reports meeting
the reporting requirements of the Trust under Section 13(a) and/or
Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Seller hereby
covenants that
the foregoing representations and warranties and those set forth on
Exhibit 2
hereto, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule A to
Exhibit 2, will be
true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing
Date with the
same effect as if made on the Closing Date.
Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by
Seller pursuant to
this Section 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and
shall continue
in full force and effect notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified
endorsement on the Mortgage Notes.
4.2 To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby
represents
and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof:
4.2.1
Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and
in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full
power and
authority to carry on its business as presently conducted by
it.
4.2.2
Purchaser has full power and authority to acquire the Mortgage
Loans, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to enter into and
consummate
all transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser has duly
and validly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and has
duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement. This
Agreement, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by Seller, constitutes
the valid and
binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in
accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity,
regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law.
4.2.3 No
consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or
filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is
required,
under federal or state law, for the execution, delivery and
performance of or
compliance by Purchaser with this Agreement, or the consummation by
Purchaser of
any transaction contemplated hereby that has not been obtained or
made by
Purchaser.
4.2.4
Neither the purchase of the Mortgage Loans nor the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by Purchaser will
violate Purchaser's
certificate of incorporation or by-laws or constitute a default (or
an event
that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a
default) under,
or result in a breach of, any material agreement, contract,
instrument or
indenture to which Purchaser is a party or that may be applicable
to Purchaser
or its assets.
4.2.5
Purchaser's execution and delivery of this Agreement and its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will
not constitute
a violation of any law, rule, writ, injunction, order or decree of
any court, or
order or regulation of any federal, state or municipal government
agency having
jurisdiction over Purchaser or its assets, which violation could
materially and
adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the
operation of
Purchaser or its assets or could materially and adversely affect
its ability to
perform its obligations and duties hereunder.
4.2.6
There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations
of,
Purchaser pending or, to Purchaser's knowledge, threatened against
Purchaser
before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, the
outcome of which
could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of
the Mortgage
Loans, the issuance of the Certificates, the execution, delivery
or
enforceability of this Agreement or have an effect on the financial
condition of
Purchaser that would materially and adversely affect the ability of
Purchaser to
perform its obligation under this Agreement.
4.2.7
Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent
or
other person, other than Seller, the Underwriters, the Initial
Purchasers and
their respective affiliates, that may be entitled to any commission
or
compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans or
consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
To induce Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby
covenants that
the foregoing representations and warranties will be true and
correct in all
material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same
effect as if made
on the Closing Date.
Each of the representations and warranties made by Purchaser
pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans.
5. REMEDIES UPON BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY
SELLER.
5.1 It is hereby acknowledged that Seller shall make for the
benefit of the
Trustee on behalf of the holders of the Certificates, whether
directly or by way
of Purchaser's assignment of its rights hereunder to the Trustee,
the
representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto (each
as of the
date hereof unless otherwise specified).
5.2 It is hereby further acknowledged that if any document required
to be
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2 hereof is not
delivered as and
when required, not properly executed or is defective on its face,
or if there is
a breach of any of the representations and warranties required to
be made by
Seller regarding the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or
the related
Mortgaged Properties as set forth in Exhibit 2 hereto, and in
either case the
party discovering such breach or defect determines that either (i)
the defect or
breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the
holders of the
Certificates in the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) both (A) the
defect or breach
materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan and
(B) the
Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
Rehabilitated Mortgage
Loan (any such defect described in the preceding clause (i) or
(ii), a "Material
Document Defect" and any such breach described in the preceding
clause (i) or
(ii), a "Material Breach"), the party determining that such
Material Document
Defect or Material Breach exists shall promptly notify, in writing,
the other
parties; provided that any breach of the representation and
warranty contained
in paragraph (41) of such Exhibit 2 shall constitute a Material
Breach only if
such prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge is not deemed
"customary"
for commercial mortgage loans as evidenced by (i) an opinion of tax
counsel to
such effect or (ii) a determination by the Internal Revenue Service
that such
provision is not customary. Promptly (but in any event within three
Business
Days) upon determining (or becoming aware of another party's
determination) that
any such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists (which
determination
shall, absent evidence to the contrary, be presumed to be no
earlier than three
Business Days prior to delivery of the notice to Seller referred to
below), the
Master Servicer shall, and the Special Servicer may, request that
Seller, not
later than 90 days from Seller's receipt of the notice of such
Material Document
Defect or Material Breach, cure such Material Document Defect or
Material
Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects; provided,
however, that if
such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may
be, cannot be
corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90 day
period, and such
Material Document Defect or Material Breach would not cause the
Mortgage Loan to
be other than a "qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code) but
Seller is
diligently attempting to effect such correction or cure, as
certified by Seller
in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, then the cure
period will
be extended for an additional 90 days unless, solely in the case of
a Material
Document Defect, (x) the Mortgage Loan is then a Specially Serviced
Mortgage
Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred as a result of a
monetary
default or as described in clause (ii) or clause (v) of the
definition of
"Servicing Transfer Event" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and (y) the
Material Document Defect was identified in a certification
delivered to Seller
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement
not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such
Material
Document Defect. The parties acknowledge that neither delivery of
a
certification or schedule of exceptions to Seller pursuant to
Section 2.2 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or otherwise nor possession of
such
certification or schedule by Seller shall, in and of itself,
constitute delivery
of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge or awareness
by Seller,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of any Material
Document Defect
listed therein.
5.3 Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such Material
Document
Defect or Material Breach cannot be corrected or cured or Seller
otherwise fails
to correct or cure within the above cure periods, Seller shall, on
or before the
termination of such cure periods, either (i) repurchase the
affected Mortgage
Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or interest therein) from Purchaser or
its assignee
at the Purchase Price as defined in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, or (ii)
if within the three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or
within the
two-year period commencing on the Closing Date if the related
Mortgage Loan is a
"defective obligation" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), at its option
replace,
without recourse, any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan to which
such defect
relates with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. If such
Material Document
Defect or Material Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other
than a
"qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding
the previous
sentence or the previous paragraph, repurchase must occur within 85
days from
the date Seller was notified of the defect. Seller agrees that any
substitution
shall be completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
5.4 If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as
contemplated
above (a "Defective Mortgage Loan"), (y) such Defective Mortgage
Loan is
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other
Mortgage Loans
("Crossed Mortgage Loans") and (z) the applicable document defect
or breach does
not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as
the case may
be, as to such Crossed Mortgage Loans (without regard to this
paragraph), then
the applicable document defect or breach (as the case may be) shall
be deemed to
constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the
case may be, as
to each such Crossed Mortgage Loan for purposes of the above
provisions, and
Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such
Crossed Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the provisions above, unless, in the case
of such breach
or document defect, (A) Seller provides a Nondisqualification
Opinion to the
Trustee at the expense of Seller if, in the reasonable business
judgment of the
Trustee, it would be usual and customary in accordance with
industry practice to
obtain a Nondisqualification Opinion and (B) both of the following
conditions
would be satisfied if Seller were to repurchase or replace only
those Mortgage
Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect had
occurred
without regard to this paragraph (the "Affected Loan(s)"): (i) the
debt service
coverage ratio for all those Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the
Affected
Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the
repurchase or
replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) 0.10x below the debt
service
coverage ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the
Affected
Loans(s)) set forth in Appendix II to the Prospectus Supplement and
(B) the debt
service coverage ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans
(including the
Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters
preceding the
repurchase or replacement, and (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for all
such Crossed
Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than
the greater
of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number (taken
to one
decimal place), for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the
Affected
Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix II to the Prospectus Supplement plus
10% and (B)
the loan-to-value ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans
(including the
Affected Loans(s)), at the time of repurchase or replacement. The
determination
of the Master Servicer as to whether the conditions set forth above
have been
satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of
manifest error. The
Master Servicer will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or
direct Seller to
(in which case Seller shall) cause to be delivered to the Master
Servicer, an
Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for
purposes of
determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above
has been
satisfied, in each case at the expense of Seller if the scope and
cost of the
Appraisal is approved by Seller (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld).
5.5 With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan, to the extent that
Seller is
required to repurchase or substitute for such Defective Mortgage
Loan in the
manner prescribed above while the Trustee (as assignee of
Purchaser) continues
to hold any Crossed Mortgage Loan, Seller and Purchaser hereby
agree to forebear
from enforcing any remedies against the other's Primary Collateral
but may
exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing their
respective
Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary
Collateral
securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as
such exercise
does not impair the ability of the other party to exercise its
remedies against
its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one party
would impair
the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with
respect to the
Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
held by such
party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such
remedies until the
loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans
can be
modified in a manner that complies with the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to
remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of
remedies. Any
reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the
Crossed
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in
accordance with
the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based
upon their
outstanding Principal Balances. All other terms of the Mortgage
Loans shall
remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.
The
Mortgagors set forth on Schedule B hereto are intended third-party
beneficiaries
of the provisions set forth in this paragraph and the preceding
paragraph. The
provisions of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph may not be
modified
with respect to any Mortgage Loan without the related Mortgagor's
consent.
5.6 Any of the following document defects shall be conclusively
presumed to
