(s)

The particulars of the Mortgages and other elements of the Related Security have been registered and perfected (or will be registered and perfected with respect to those Mortgages where registration or recording is pending at the relevant land registry) in a manner compliant with English or other applicable law.

(y)

Since the date of origination of the Neptune Loan and the PBN Whole Loan, no amount of principal or interest due from the Borrowers has at any time been more than 14 days overdue as at the Closing Date.

(z)

The Seller is not aware of any material default, material breach or material violation under any Loan Agreement or any Mortgage or the Related Security which has not been remedied, cured or waived or of any outstanding material default, material breach or material violation by the relevant Borrowers under any Mortgage, the Related Security or the Neptune Loan and the PBN Whole Loan or of any outstanding event which with the giving of notice, the expiration of any applicable grace period or making of any determination, would constitute such a default, breach or violation.

(aa)

The Seller has performed in all material aspects all of its obligations under or in connection with the Loans and so far as the Seller is aware none of the Borrowers has taken or threatened to take any action against the Seller, the Borrower Facility Agent or the Borrower Security Trustee for any material failure on the part of the Seller, the Borrower Facility Agent or the Borrower Security Trustee under the Loans or Related Security to perform any such obligations.

(bb)

The Seller is not aware of any litigation or claim calling into question in any material way the Seller’s or the Borrower Security Trustee’s title to the Loans, its Related Security or the Mortgages.

(cc)

Neither the Seller nor (so far as the Seller is aware) the Borrower Facility Agent or the Borrower Security Trustee received written notice of any default or forfeiture or irritancy of any Occupational Lease granted in respect of the Properties or of the insolvency of any tenant of the Properties which would, in any case, render the Properties unacceptable as security for the Neptune Loan or the PBN Whole Loan (as applicable) in the context of the applicable lending criteria.

(dd)

Prior to making the initial advance under the Neptune Loan and the PBN Whole Loan, (i) no express recommendation was received by the Seller from a qualified surveyor or valuer to carry out any environmental audit, survey or report of the Properties which was not pursued, unless otherwise determined by the Seller to not be necessary to perform prior to such origination or acquisition, and (ii) if any such environmental audit, survey or report was performed prior to such origination or acquisition, the results of any such environmental audit, survey or report which was procured by the Seller would have been taken into account in the Original Valuation.
