Such Title Policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon. 6.2.13 Hazard Insurance.

8 92490722 endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, all premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this clause required to be paid have been paid. Such insurance policies name the Seller 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. Where required by state law or regulation, the Obligor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Obligor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, to the Seller’s knowledge, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller or any designee of the Seller (including the applicable Originator). Such insurance policies are the valid and binding obligations of the insurer and will inure to the benefit of the Buyer. The Mortgage obligates the related Obligor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Obligor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Obligor’s cost and expense and to charge such Obligor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least ten (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 ten (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. No action or inaction on the part of the Seller or the applicable Originator has resulted in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable hazard insurance policy or other insurance policy, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. To Seller’s knowledge, no action or inaction on the part of any other Person or event has otherwise occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable hazard insurance policy or other insurance policy, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. 6.2.14 [Intentionally Omitted] 6.2.15 Environmental Matters.

The Loan and the interest (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) contracted for complied as of the date of origination with, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury and all other requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Loan. 6.2.20 Flood Zone.
