SECTION 3. Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents; Additional Costs and Expenses. (a) The Purchaser hereby directs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, upon the transfer of the Mortgage Loans contemplated herein, to deliver on the Closing Date (or such other times as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to the Master Servicer,

(e) [Upon notice pursuant to Section 6(d) above of any Breach or Defect that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or any Certificateholder therein, the Seller shall (subject to any decision by the Directing Certificateholder or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to allow the Seller to deposit funds or a letter of credit in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), not later than ninety (90) days from (x) except in the case of the succeeding clause (y), the Seller's receipt of the notice thereof pursuant to Section 6(d) above or (y) in the case of a Defect or Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective mortgage loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (A) the Seller's discovery of such Breach or Defect, or (B) discovery of such Breach or Defect by any other party identified in Section 6(d) above, provided the Seller receives the required prompt written notice thereof (the "Initial Resolution Period"), (i) cure such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, at its own expense, including reimbursement of any related additional Issuing Entity expenses incurred by any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) at the applicable Repurchase Price (as defined below) or (iii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (as defined below) for such affected Mortgage Loan or such REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount (as defined below) in connection therewith; provided, however, that except with respect to a Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender's title insurance required pursuant to clause (ix) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Breach or Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Resolution Period, and the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Breach or Defect within the Initial Resolution Period, the Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Resolution Period (the "Extended Resolution Period") to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Companion Loan, if applicable) or, if applicable, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above); and provided, further, that with respect to the Extended Resolution Period the Seller shall have delivered an officer's certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (such Officer's Certificate to be delivered electronically to [EMAIL] with the subject line: "[______]"), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Breach or Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Resolution Period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Breach or Defect will be cured within the Extended Resolution Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a "qualified mortgage" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, without regard to the rule of
13
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) which causes a defective mortgage loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Certificates therein, and (subject to the Seller's right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Resolution Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or, if applicable, a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan [(other than with respect to the [__________] Mortgage Loan or the Trust Subordinate Companion Loan for which no substitution will be permitted)] substituted in lieu thereof without regard to the Extended Resolution Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Seller shall remit the Repurchase Price (defined below) in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Breach or Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Breach or Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Defect or a Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a "qualified mortgage", within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach or Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Breach or Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Breach or Defect.
If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Issuing Entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Issuing Entity that are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No delay in either the discovery of a Defect or Breach on the part of any party to
14
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in providing notice of such Defect or Breach will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Defect or Breach and (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Defect or Breach (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Defect or Breach.
Subject to the Seller's right to cure as set forth above in this Section 6, and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender's title insurance policy (or if the policy has not yet been issued, an original or copy of a "marked-up" written commitment or the pro forma or specimen title insurance policy or a commitment to issue the same pursuant to written escrow instructions signed by the title insurance company) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage File" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; (e) with respect to any leasehold mortgage loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; or (f) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for recordation; provided, however, that no Defect (except a Defect previously described in clauses (a) through (f) above) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the Mortgagee's rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any borrower or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a commitment to issue a lender's title insurance policy, as provided in clause (ix) of the definition of "Mortgage File" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender's title insurance, shall not be considered a Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf within eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date. Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the
15
Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, in the event that the Trustee (or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf) subsequently loses a document that is part of the Mortgage File, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Defect against the Seller pursuant to this Section 6(e) and the Trustee (or the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, if so designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall be responsible therefor in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event any document is lost by the Trustee (or any Custodian on its behalf), at the request of the Trustee and, at the Trustee's individual expense or the expense of the Trust to the extent provided in Section 8.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Trustee (or any servicer on its behalf) in replacing such lost document.
If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e), (ii) such Mortgage Loan is a Crossed Underlying Loan, and (iii) the applicable Defect or Breach does not constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Defect or Breach, as the case may be, will be deemed to constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to each other Crossed Underlying Loan in the Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for all of the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6(e) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan as to which the related Breach or Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of any Appraisal required to be obtained to determine if the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria have been satisfied, so long as the scope and cost of such Appraisal has been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
To the extent that the Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for a Crossed Underlying Loan hereunder in the manner prescribed above while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall enforce any remedies against the other's Primary Collateral, but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Crossed Underlying Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Crossed Underlying Loans still held by the Trustee.
If the exercise of remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Crossed Underlying Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated between such Crossed
16
Underlying Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Crossed Underlying Loan included in the Trust is modified to terminate the related cross-collateralization and/or cross-default provisions, as a condition to such modification, the Seller shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that any modification shall not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Any expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such modification or accommodation (including but not limited to recoverable attorney fees) shall be paid by the Seller.
The "Repurchase Price" with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan to be repurchased pursuant to this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall have the meaning given to the term "Purchase Price" in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Repurchase Price shall not include liquidation fees payable to the Special Servicer in the event of any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan under this Agreement prior to the termination of the Extended Resolution Period.
A "Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan" with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan to be substituted pursuant to this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall have the meaning given to such term in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
A "Substitution Shortfall Amount" with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan to be substituted pursuant to this Agreement and Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall have the meaning given to such term in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans contemplated hereby, (i) the Purchaser shall execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, such endorsements and assignments, without recourse to the Trust, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of each repurchased Mortgage Loan or replaced Mortgage Loan, as applicable, (ii) the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause the delivery, to the Seller of all portions of (A) the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by the Trustee, or on the Trustee's behalf, and (B) the Servicing File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, or on the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's behalf, and (iii) the Purchaser shall release, or cause to be released, to the Seller any escrow payments and reserve funds held by the Trustee, or on the Trustee's behalf, in respect of such repurchased or replaced Mortgage Loans.
The Purchaser shall provide to the Seller any relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Purchaser is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (only to the extent that such portions relate to any Mortgage Loan and that was not provided by the Seller) on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trust's CIK# is [__________].
(f) The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of
17
the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage for any Mortgage Loan or the examination of the Mortgage Files for any Mortgage Loan.
(g) Each party hereby agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 6. In addition, in the event that the Seller receives a Repurchase Request, the Seller shall promptly forward such Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in each case in the manner described in Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to notify the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of any such Repurchase Request if such Repurchase Request is received from a Repurchase Request Recipient. The Seller's obligation to cure any Breach or Defect, repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to Section 6(e) shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a Breach or Defect. It is acknowledged and agreed that the representations and warranties are being made for risk allocation purposes; provided, however, that no limitation of remedy is implied with respect to the Seller's breach of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
SECTION 7. Conditions to Closing. The obligations of the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to the Closing Date, of the following conditions:
(a) Each of the obligations of the Seller required to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall have been duly performed and complied with and all of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, and no event shall have occurred as of the Closing Date which, with notice or passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall have received a certificate to the foregoing effect signed by an authorized officer of the Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit D.

(D) the Seller's execution and delivery of, and the Seller's performance of its obligations under, each of this Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement do not and will not conflict with the Seller's organizational documents or conflict with or result in the breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound, or to which any of its property or assets is subject or violate any provisions of law or conflict with or result in the breach of any order of any court or any governmental body binding on the Seller;

(F) no consent, approval, authorization, order, license, registration or qualification of or with any federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement, except such consents,

(iv) a letter from counsel of the Seller substantially to the effect that nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would lead such counsel to believe that the Free Writing Prospectus or Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum as of the Time of Sale, or the Prospectus or Final Private Placement Memorandum as of the date thereof or as of the Closing Date, contained or contains, with respect to the Seller or the Mortgage Loans, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein relating to the Seller or the Mortgage Loans, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

SECTION 9. Expenses. The Seller shall pay its pro rata share (the Seller's pro rata share to be determined according to the percentage that the aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of all the Mortgage Loans represents in proportion to the aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of all the mortgage loans to be included in the Issuing Entity) of all costs and expenses of the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, including, but not limited to: (i) the costs and expenses of reproducing and delivering the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement and printing (or otherwise reproducing) and delivering the Certificates; (ii) the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel incurred in connection with the Trustee entering into the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (iii) the fees and disbursements of a firm of certified public accountants selected by the Purchaser with respect to numerical information in respect of the Mortgage Loans and the Certificates included in any Time of Sale Information, Prospectus or Final Private Placement Memorandum (each as defined in the Indemnification Agreement), including the cost of obtaining any "comfort letters" with respect to such items; (iv) the costs and

21
SECTION 12. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The parties do not intend the benefits of this Agreement to inure to any third party except as expressly set forth in Section 6 and Section 13.
SECTION 13. Assignment. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser has, concurrently with the execution hereof, executed and delivered the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that, in connection therewith, it has assigned its rights hereunder to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the extent set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that the rights so assigned may be further assigned to, and shall inure to the benefit of, any successor trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby acknowledges its obligations, including, without limitation, that of expense reimbursement, pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except as set forth hereinabove and in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Seller made hereunder and the remedies provided hereunder with respect to Breaches or Defects may not be further assigned by the Purchaser, the Trustee or any successor trustee. No owner of a Certificate issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed a successor or permitted assign because of such ownership. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Seller, the Purchaser and their permitted successors and permitted assigns. The warranties and representations and the agreements made by the Seller herein shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee until the termination of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 14. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt by the intended recipient if personally delivered at or couriered or mailed by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to (i) the Purchaser at Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: [_____], (ii) [NOTICE ADDRESSES] and in the case of any of the preceding parties, such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the other parties in writing by such party.
SECTION 15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument which specifically refers to this Agreement and is executed by the Purchaser and the Seller; provided, however, that unless such amendment is to cure an ambiguity, mistake or inconsistency in this Agreement, no amendment shall be permitted unless each Rating Agency has delivered a written confirmation that such amendment will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Certificates and the cost of obtaining any Rating Agency confirmation shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment. This Agreement shall not be deemed to be amended orally or by virtue of any continuing custom or practice. No amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which relates to defined terms contained therein or any obligations of the Seller whatsoever shall be effective against the Seller unless the Seller shall have agreed to such amendment in writing. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall identify the Seller as a third party beneficiary and may not be amended in any manner that materially and adversely affects the Seller's rights as such without the Seller's consent.
SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed
22
and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
SECTION 17. Exercise of Rights. No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Seller and the Purchaser shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as set forth in Section 6 herein, the rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of either party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
SECTION 18. No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed as creating an agency relationship between the Purchaser and the Seller and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall take any action which could reasonably lead a third party to assume that it has the authority to bind the other party hereto or make commitments on such other party's behalf.
SECTION 19. Miscellaneous. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
