The Administrative Agent, Buyers and Custodian may rely on the Seller’s representation and warranty that no Purchased Loan is such a loan.

(i)Each assignment to the Administrative Agent of the Lien securing any Purchased Loan will be in proper and sufficient form for recording in the appropriate government office in the U.S. jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Premises are located (no such assignment is required for any Mortgage that has been originated in the name of MERS and registered under the MERS® System).
