(4) Buyer shall have (A) determined, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3(a) of this Agreement that the New Loan proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller in such Transaction is an Eligible Loan (including, without limitation, by satisfactory review of such New Loan by Buyer’s outside counsel) and (B) obtained internal credit approval for the inclusion of such New Loan as a Purchased Loan in a Transaction;

(7) Seller shall have paid to Buyer (i) any fees then due and payable under the Fee Letter and (ii) any unpaid Transaction Costs in respect of such Purchased Loan due and owing by Seller (which amounts and fees described in the foregoing subclauses (i) and (ii), at Seller’s option, may be held back from funds remitted to Seller by Buyer on the Purchase Date);

(f) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby unless objected to in writing by Seller no more than two (2) Business Days after the date such Confirmation is received by Seller. An objection sent by Seller with respect to any Confirmation must state specifically that the writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) of such Confirmation being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes such provisions should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more than two (2) Business Days after such Confirmation is received by Seller. Buyer, in its sole discretion, may issue another Confirmation addressing Seller’s objections or may elect not to proceed with the proposed Transaction.

(g) Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand, and repurchase the related Purchased Loan on any Business Day prior to the applicable Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that:

(i) no Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall be continuing or would occur or result from such early repurchase, unless, in the case of a Default or Margin Deficit, otherwise cured in connection with such repurchase;

(ii) Seller notifies Buyer in writing, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Early Repurchase Date, of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase the related Purchased Loan; and

(i) So long as no Event of Default or monetary or material non-monetary Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Repurchase Price with respect to one or more Purchased Loans may be paid in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice from Seller to Buyer; provided, however, that any such payment shall be accompanied by an amount representing accrued Price Differential with respect to such Purchased Loan(s) on the amount of such payment and all other amounts then due under the Transaction Documents. Each partial payment of the Repurchase Price that is voluntary (as opposed to mandatory under the terms of this Agreement) shall be in an amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

(j) [RESERVED]

(k) If (i) Buyer shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or (ii) the LIBOR

Rate determined or to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as reasonably determined by Buyer) of making or maintaining Transactions, Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to the Transaction until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, plus (ii) 0.25% plus (iii) the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”).

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect LIBOR Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (i) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new LIBOR Transactions and to continue LIBOR Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (ii) the LIBOR Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions.

(m) Upon written demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any net actual out-of-pocket loss or expense (not to include any indirect or consequential damages including, without limitation, any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that Buyer actually sustains or incurs as a direct result of (i) a default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(g) of a termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of all or any portion of the Repurchase Price, as the case may be, on any day other than a Remittance Date (including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer to maintain Transactions hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, provided that Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse Buyer for the incremental cost of reemploying funds or terminating deposits that arise solely as a result of Buyer’s depositing funds or employing funds at a rate calculated other than by reference to LIBOR) or (iii) Seller’s failure to sell Eligible Loans to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and prior to such failure Buyer has given a Final Approval to purchase such Eligible Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(n) If Buyer shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to extensions of credit or other assets of Buyer or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding such requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to such requirements) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, within seven (7) Business Days after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(n) shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error. With respect to any increased cost payable or reduced amount receivable by Buyer, this covenant shall survive for a period of nine (9) months from the date of the incurrence of such increased costs or reduced amount receivable and Seller shall have no further obligation hereunder with respect to such increased costs or reduced amount.

(o) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance

with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by Seller as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made, Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Seller shall timely pay, without duplication, any Other Taxes (i) imposed on Seller to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law, and (ii) imposed on Buyer, as the case may be, upon written notice from such Person setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Other Taxes. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3(o), Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

(p) (i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under the Transaction Documents, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, and at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3(p)(ii)(A), Section 3(p)(ii)(B) and Section 3(p)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would be illegal, would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer; provided, that, Buyer shall deliver a written statement explaining in reasonable detail any such determination not to provide necessary documentation to Seller.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) if Buyer is a United States person, it shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) if the Buyer is not a United States person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when previously delivered certification expires or becomes obsolete, or otherwise upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Buyer that is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments characterized as interest for U.S. tax purposes under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(3) in the case of a Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) if Buyer is not a United States person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to Buyer under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(q) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket costs and expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party. Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3(q) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(q), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3(q) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(r) If any of the events described in Section 3(k), Section 3(l), Section 3(n) or Section 3(o) result in Buyer’s election to use the Alternative Rate or Buyer’s request for additional amounts or the condition set forth in Section 3(e)(12) is not met at any time,, then Seller shall have the option to notify Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate this Agreement and all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Loans no later than two (2) Business Days after such notice is given to Buyer, and such repurchase by Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(g). The election by Seller to terminate the Transactions in accordance with this Section 3(q) shall not relieve Seller for liability with respect to any additional amounts or increased costs actually incurred by Buyer prior to the actual repurchase of the Purchased Loans.

(s) From and after the Facility Termination Date, Buyer shall have no further obligation to purchase any New Loans. On the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall be obligated to repurchase all of the Purchased Loans and transfer payment of the Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Loan, together with the accrued and unpaid Price Differential and all Transaction Costs and other amounts due and payable to Buyer hereunder. Following the Facility Termination Date, Buyer shall not be obligated to transfer any Purchased Loans to Seller until payment in full to Buyer of all amounts due hereunder.

4.	MANDATORY PAYMENT OR DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL ASSETS

Buyer may determine and re-determine the Asset Base on any Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect. If at any such time the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loans is greater than the Asset Base as determined by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement and notified to Seller on any Business Day (a “Margin Deficit”), then Seller shall, no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice delivered by Buyer before 5:00 p.m. EST on a Business Day, or if delivered after 5:00 p.m. EST, no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, deliver to Buyer cash in an amount sufficient to reduce the Aggregate Repurchase Price to an amount equal to the Asset Base as re-determined by Buyer after giving effect to the delivery of cash or additional collateral by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4. Any cash delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4 shall be applied by Buyer to reduce the Repurchase Price of each Purchased Loan in such manner as shall be determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

5.	INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) On or before the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall establish and maintain with the Depository Bank a deposit account in the name of Seller and under the sole control of Buyer with respect to which the Blocked Account Agreement shall have been executed (such account, together with any replacement or successor thereof, the “Blocked Account”). Seller shall cause all Income with respect to the Purchased Loans or cash delivered under Section 4 to be deposited in the Blocked Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Blocked Account all Income received in respect of the Purchased Loans within one (1) Business Day of receipt. All Income in respect of the Purchased Loans, which may include payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, shall be deposited directly into, or, if applicable, remitted directly from the applicable underlying collection account to, the Blocked Account.

(b) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) on each Remittance Date, all Income (other than Principal Payments) on deposit in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions and (ii) on the next succeeding Business Day following the receipt of any Principal Payments in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased Loans, shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such Remittance Date;

(ii) second, to Buyer, all Transaction Costs and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price);

(iii) third, if a Principal Payment in respect of any Purchased Loan has been made during such Collection Period, to Buyer, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the product of the amount of such Principal Payment multiplied by the Purchase Percentage and (ii) such greater amount, such that after giving effect to such payment of the applicable Repurchase Price, the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loans is equal to the Asset Base, as determined by Buyer after giving effect to such payment; and

(iv) fourth, to Seller the remainder, if any.

If, on any Remittance Date, the amounts deposited in the Blocked Account shall be insufficient to make the payments required under clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 5(b), and Seller does not otherwise make such payments on such Remittance Date, the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income on deposit in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Blocked Account as follows:

(i) first, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such Business Day;

(ii) second, to Buyer, all Transaction Costs and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price);

(iii) third, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loans, until the Aggregate Repurchase Price for all of the Purchased Loans has been reduced to zero; and

(iv) fourth, to Seller the remainder, if any.

(d) If at any time during the term of any Transaction any Income is distributed to Seller with respect to the related Purchased Loan or Seller has otherwise received such Income and has made a payment in respect of such Income to Buyer pursuant to this Section 5, and for any reason such amount is required to be returned by Buyer to an obligor under such Purchased Loan (either before or after the Repurchase Date), Buyer may provide Seller with notice of such required return, and Seller shall pay the amount of such required return to Buyer by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Business Day following Seller’s receipt of such notice.

(e) Subject to the other provisions hereof, Seller shall be responsible for all Transaction Costs in respect of any Purchased Loans to the extent it would be so obligated if the Purchased Loans had not been sold to Buyer.

(f) All distributions made to Buyer and/or Seller shall be made pursuant to the wiring instructions set forth on Annex I hereto or pursuant to such other instructions as Buyer and/or Seller may provide from time to time pursuant to written instructions; provided, however, that no such other written instruction of from Seller shall be effective unless signed by two (2) officer’s of Seller (and neither Buyer nor Servicer shall have any liability for failure to comply with any written instructions of Seller which are not signed by two (2) officer’s of Seller).

6.	CAUTIONARY SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans for all purposes (other than for U.S. Federal, state and local income or franchise Tax purposes) and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in the event that any Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under the Transactions and the Transaction Documents and hereby grants to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (i) all of the Purchased Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all security interests, mortgages and liens on personal or real property securing the Purchased Loans) and related Servicing Rights, (ii) the Blocked Account and all amounts and property from time to time on deposit therein, (iii) all Income from the Purchased Loans, (iv) all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Loan or the related Eligible Property, (v) all “general intangibles”, “accounts” and “chattel paper” as defined in the UCC relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating to, any and all of the foregoing, and (viii) any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified in the Confirmation and/or the Trust Receipt, the Purchased Loan Schedule or exception report with respect to the foregoing in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

(b) With respect to the security interest in the Repurchase Assets granted in Section 6(a) hereof, and with respect to the security interests granted in Section 6(c), Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and any other applicable law and shall have the right to apply the Repurchase Assets or proceeds therefrom to the obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed as a protective filing with respect to the Repurchase Assets and as a UCC filing with respect to the security interests granted in Section 6(c) one or more UCC financing statements in form satisfactory to Buyer (to be filed in the filing office indicated therein), in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the outright transfer (including under Section 22 of this Agreement) and the security interest granted hereby and, in each case, continuation statements and any amendments thereto (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (ii) Seller shall, from time to time, at its own expense, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further filings, instruments and documents and take all such further actions as may be necessary or desirable or as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the outright transfer of the Purchased Loans and the security interest granted hereunder in the Repurchase Assets and the rights and remedies of Buyer with respect to the Repurchase Assets (including under Section 22 of this Agreement) (including the payments of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement). Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets (including a financing statement describing the collateral as “all assets of the debtor” or such other super-generic description thereof as Buyer may determine) without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate.

(c) Seller hereby pledges to Buyer, as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under all Transactions, Seller’s rights under all Hedging Transactions relating to Purchased Loans entered into by Seller and all proceeds thereof. Seller shall take all action as is necessary or desirable to obtain consent to assignment of any such Hedging Transaction to Buyer and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the counterparty under each such Hedging Transaction to enter into such document or instrument satisfactory to Buyer, Seller and such counterparty, pursuant to which such counterparty will covenant and agree to accept notice from Buyer to redirect payments under such Hedging Transaction as Buyer may direct.

(d) In connection with the repurchase by Seller of any Purchased Loan in accordance herewith, upon receipt of the Repurchase Price by Buyer, Buyer will deliver to Seller, at Seller’s expense, such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary and requested by Seller to reconvey such Purchased Loan and any Income related thereto to Seller.

7.	PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Loans and all rights thereunder shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to an account designated by Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction. Buyer will provide Seller with a power of attorney, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit IV-2 hereto, allowing Seller to administer, operate and service such Purchased Loans at all times prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the power of attorney (including, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the exercise of any voting rights or similar rights by Seller) shall be binding upon Buyer and Buyer’s successors and assigns.

(b) With respect to each Table Funded Purchased Loan, Seller shall cause the Bailee to deliver to the Buyer by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), on the Purchase Date, by facsimile or electronic mail a true and complete copy of the related Note, the insured closing letter, if any, and escrow instructions, if any, and the executed Bailee Agreement. In connection with the sale of each Purchased Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), one (1) Business Days prior to the related Purchase Date (or with respect to a Table Funded Purchased Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date), Seller shall deliver or cause Bailee to deliver (with a copy to Buyer) and release to the Custodian (together with the Custodial Delivery Certificate ), and shall cause the Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt on the Purchase Date (or in the case of a Table Funded Purchased Loan, not later than two (2) Business Days following the receipt by the Custodian) confirming the receipt of the following original (or where indicated, copied) documents, to the extent applicable (collectively, the “Purchased Loan File”), pertaining to each of the Purchased Loans identified in the Custodial Delivery Certificate delivered therewith:

the following form: “[Last Endorsee], successor by merger to [name of predecessor]”; in the event that the Purchased Loan was acquired or originated by the Last Endorsee while doing business under another name, the signature must be in the following form: “[Last Endorsee], [formerly known] or [doing business] as [previous name]”) or a lost note affidavit in a form reasonably approved by Buyer, with a copy of the applicable Note attached thereto.

Seller and Buyer agree to each pay fifty percent (50%) of all fees, costs and expenses due to the Backup Manager pursuant to the Backup Management Agreement, provided that Seller’s obligation for payment pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed $25,000.00 per calendar year. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly deliver to Buyer and Backup Manager such documents, reports and other information with respect to the Properties as Buyer and/or Backup Manager may reasonably request from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to appoint the Backup Manager as replacement manager in connection with the replacement of any manager in accordance with Section 12(t) and may, in its sole discretion, appoint another replacement manager, which manager shall be subject to Buyer’s approval rights set forth in Section 12(t).

(v) Seller shall service and administer each Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Purchased Loan Documents, and applicable law, and independent of any relationship that Seller or any Affiliate of Seller may have with the Underlying Obligor or any Affiliate of any Underlying Obligor other than with respect to the Purchased Loan.

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”) (and any Transaction for which the related Purchase Date has not yet occurred shall be canceled).

(A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Loans shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date, and all Income deposited in the Blocked Account shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; and

(iii) Buyer may, after ten (10) days’ notice to Seller of Buyer’s intent to take such action (provided that no such notice shall be required in the circumstances set forth in Section 9-611(d) of the UCC), in a commercially reasonable manner (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem to be satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loans effected pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied (v) first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default, (w) second, to the costs of cover and/or Hedging Transactions, if any, (x) third, to the Repurchase Price, (y) fourth, to any other outstanding obligation owed by Seller to Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to the Transaction Documents (including interest which would be payable as post-petition interest in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceeding) irrespective of whether such obligations are direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, and (z) the balance, if any, to Seller. In the event that Buyer shall not have received repayment in full of the Aggregate Repurchase Price and the other obligations of the Seller under the Transaction Documents following its liquidation of the Purchased Loans, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, pursue the Seller and Guarantor (to the extent provided in the Guaranty) for all or any part of any deficiency.

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Loans shall not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions (including short sales) or entering into replacement transactions, (C) all damages, losses, judgments, actual costs and other expenses of any kind that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Buyer relating to or arising out of such Hedging Transactions or covering transactions, and (D) any other loss, damage, actual cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have.

(vii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(viii) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Buyer, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, and any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit of the account of Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor to any obligations of Seller hereunder to Buyer.

(ix) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller, exercisable upon ten (10) days notice from Buyer to Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Seller and Buyer or between Seller and any Affiliate of Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(x) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if a monetary or material non-monetary Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Loans will be sold by Seller to Buyer on a servicing released basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller and the Buyer hereby agree and confirm that from and after the date hereof, only such Servicing Agreements that have been approved by Buyer shall govern the servicing of the Purchased Loans and any prior agreement between Seller and any other Person or otherwise with respect to such servicing is hereby superseded in all respects. Provided that Buyer shall have received a duly executed Servicing Acknowledgement from Servicer, prior to an Event of Default, Seller may retain, on behalf of the Buyer, the Servicer to service the Purchased Loans for the benefit of or on behalf of Buyer; provided, however, that the obligation of Servicer to service any Purchased Loan for the benefit of or on behalf of Buyer as aforesaid shall cease upon the repurchase of such Purchased Loan by Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Servicing Acknowledgement.

(b) Seller agrees that, as between Seller and Buyer, Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Loans are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard any such Servicing Records in Seller’s possession and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

(c) Seller shall not, and shall not provide consent to Servicer to, employ any other sub-servicers to service the Purchased Loans without the prior written approval of Buyer which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Seller shall cause Servicer and any other sub-servicers engaged on behalf of Buyer to execute a Servicing Acknowledgement acknowledging Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Loans and the Servicing Agreement and agreeing that the Servicer and any sub-servicer (if applicable) shall deposit all Income with respect to the Purchased Loans in the Blocked Account, all in such manner as shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

(e) To the extent applicable, Seller shall cause Servicer to permit Buyer to inspect Servicer’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that Servicer has the ability to service such Purchased Loan as provided in this Agreement.

(f) Buyer may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, sell the Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis without payment of any termination fee or any other amount to Servicer. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Buyer shall have the right immediately to terminate Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

23.

TREATMENT FOR TAX PURPOSES

It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise Tax purposes, the Transactions constitute a financing, and that Seller is, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will continue to be, treated as the owner of the Purchased Loans for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer agree to treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state or local taxing authority.

24.

INTENT

(a) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) The parties intend and acknowledge that each Transaction is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) The parties intend and acknowledge that the Guaranty is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) The parties intend and acknowledge that any party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of or to offset or net termination values, payment amounts, or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder is in each case a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of or to offset or net termination values, payment amounts, or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder as described in Section 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e) The parties intend and acknowledge that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the Purchased Loans shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) Each party hereto agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement as a “securities contract” or “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

25.

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Time is of the essence under the Transaction Documents and all Transactions thereunder, and all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents.

(b) All rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Buyer whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement to the extent applicable, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable law.

(c) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

(d) The headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents.

(e) Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement, the Fee Letter and each Confirmation contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(g) Each party understands that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that such party has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is satisfied with its legal counsel and the advice received from it.

(h) Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereby waives any right to claim or recover from the other party any exemplary or punitive damages of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether the likelihood of such damages was known or foreseeable and regardless of the form of the claim or action. The foregoing waiver shall also apply to Indemnified Amounts.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

REGARDING THE PURCHASED LOANS

With respect to each Purchased Loan, with respect to the Underlying Collateral and with respect to the related Properties on the related Purchase Date, and, except as expressly set forth below, at all times required by this Agreement, Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of such date; provided, however, that with respect to any Purchased Loan, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified by any Exception Report delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to the issuance of a Confirmation with respect thereto:

(1)	Purchased Loan Schedule and Purchased Loan Information. The information set forth in the Purchased Loan Schedule and the Purchased Loan Information with respect to each Purchased Loan on the Purchase Date is true and correct in all material respects.

(2)

Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Loans. Each Purchased Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Purchased Loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Note or Security Instrument was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation (other than any participation to the Seller, if applicable) or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Loan. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Loan, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Loan.

(3)

Loan Document Status. Each related Note, Security Instrument, master lease, guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Underlying Obligor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Purchased Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Underlying Obligor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Purchased Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Secured Party’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Underlying Obligor with respect to any of the related Notes, Security Instruments or other Purchased Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loan, that would deny the Secured Party the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Note, Security Instrument or other Purchased Loan Documents.

Exhibit V - 1

(4)

Security Instrument Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

(5)

Security Instrument Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Loan File or as otherwise approved by Buyer, (a) the material terms of such Security Instrument, Note, Loan guaranty, and related Purchased Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Security Instrument; (b) no related Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Security Instrument in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Security Instrument or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Property; and (c) neither the related Underlying Obligor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Loan.

(6)

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Security Instrument from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from the Seller. Each related Security Instrument is freely assignable without the consent of the related Underlying Obligor. Each related Security Instrument is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the Underlying Collateral (other than any master lease agreement) in the principal amount of such Purchased Loan or allocated loan amount, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Underlying Collateral (other than any master lease agreement) is free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Security Instrument. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(7)	Junior Liens. There are no subordinate or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Underlying Collateral. The Seller has no Knowledge of any mezzanine or other debt secured directly by interests in the related Underlying Obligor.

(8)

UCC Filings. Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Loan to perfect a valid security interest in the Underlying Collateral.

(9)

Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate with respect to each Purchased Loan (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Purchased Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

Exhibit V - 2

(10)	No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller.

(11)

Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date or as of the date that such entity held the Note, each holder of the Note was authorized to originate, acquire and/or hold (as applicable) the Note in the jurisdiction in which each related Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Loan.

(12)

Actions Concerning Purchased Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s Knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Underlying Obligor, guarantor, or Underlying Obligor’s interest in the Underlying Collateral, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Underlying Obligor’s title to the Underlying Collateral, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Security Instrument, (c) such Underlying Obligor’s ability to perform under the related Purchased Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Underlying Collateral.

(13)

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Secured Party pursuant to each Purchased Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith.

(14)

No Holdbacks. Except for Purchased Loans identified to Buyer on the Exception Report in connection with a subject Transaction as having future advances, the principal amount of the Purchased Loan stated on the Purchased Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Property, the Underlying Obligor, the Property Owner or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

(15)

Insurance. The related Properties are, and are required pursuant to the related Security Instrument to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount in the aggregate (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the then outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Underlying Obligor and included in the Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Properties.

Exhibit V - 3

The related Properties are also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Loan Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements located on a Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as “a Special Flood Hazard Area”, the related Underlying Obligor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program.

If any Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Underlying Obligor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms.

The Properties are covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Loan Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL.

The Purchased Loan Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Purchased Loan, the Secured Party (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section due and payable as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Secured Party under the Purchased Loan 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. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Buyer. Each related Purchased Loan obligates the related Underlying Obligor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Underlying Obligor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Secured Party to maintain such insurance at the Underlying Obligor’s reasonable cost and expense and to charge such Underlying Obligor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require prior notice to lender of the termination or cancellation (or such lesser period as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason, including non-payment of a premium.

Exhibit V - 4

(16)

Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan provide that such Purchased Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Underlying Obligor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Underlying Obligor (but may be affiliated with the Underlying Obligor) that has assets other than equity in the related Properties that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the Underlying Obligor; (ii) Underlying Obligor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Underlying Obligor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Property or equity interests in Underlying Obligor made in violation of the Purchased Loan Documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Underlying Obligor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Underlying Obligor (but may be affiliated with the Underlying Obligor) that has assets other than equity in the related Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of Underlying Obligor’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Purchased Loan, (ii) misappropriation of (A) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (B) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to Secured Party upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Purchased Loan event of default); (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Loan Documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Property.

(17)

Security Instrument Releases. The terms of the related Security Instrument or related Purchased Loan Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Underlying Collateral and/or Properties from the lien of the Security Instrument except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance, of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Loan, (c) upon a defeasance, (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or taking by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof.

(18)

Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Purchased Loan documents for each Purchased Loan require the Underlying Obligor to provide the owner or holder of the Security Instrument with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) for the Properties in the aggregate, which annual financial statements with respect to each Purchased Loan with more than one Underlying Obligor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Underlying Obligor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Properties on a combined basis.

(19)

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Due Diligence Package, subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Security Instrument (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the

Exhibit V - 5

related Purchased Loan Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Secured Party which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Properties, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents), (a) the related Underlying Collateral and/or Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Underlying Obligor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Loan Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Underlying Obligor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Underlying Obligor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Loan Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Loan Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of Section 17 or pursuant to a defeasance or (b) the related Underlying Collateral is encumbered by a subordinate lien and/or any related Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Property, other than (i) any Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Loan, as set forth in the Due Diligence Package, or (ii) with respect to the related Property, Permitted Encumbrances or Title Exceptions.

(20)

Single-Purpose Entity. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Due Diligence Package, each Purchased Loan requires the Underlying Obligor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Loan Documents and the organizational documents of the Underlying Obligor provide that the Underlying Obligor is a Single-Purpose Entity and each Purchased Loan with an unpaid principal balance as of the Purchase Date of $20,000,000.00 or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Underlying Obligor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the single family rental home properties indirectly securing the Purchased Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Security Instrument(s) or the other related Purchased Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

(21)

Fixed Interest Rates. Each Purchased Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Purchased Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed, or if such Purchased Loan bears interest at a floating rate, the Purchased Loan Documents require the Underlying Obligor to purchase an interest rate protection for the entire term of such Purchased Loan, which interest rate protection agreement has been collaterally assigned to Seller as collateral for the Purchased Loan.

(22)	Ground Leases. No Property is owned by its respective Property Owner as a leasehold, rather than fee interest.

Exhibit V - 6

(23)	Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Purchased Loan have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans.

(24)

Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Purchased Loan have been, in all material respects, in compliance with applicable law and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased Loan and to the extent originated by Seller or its Affiliates or, if originated by another Person, to Seller’s Knowledge, the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Purchased Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit V.

(25)

No Material Default; Payment Record. As of the Purchase Date, no Purchased Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required debt service payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Purchased Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Purchase Date. As of the Purchase Date, to the Seller’s Knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Property. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Loan may declare any event of default under the Purchased Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Loan Documents.

(26)

Bankruptcy. To Seller’s Knowledge, as of the date of origination of the related Purchased Loan and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, neither the Property (other than any tenants of such Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Underlying Obligor, Property Owner or guarantor with respect to any Purchased Loan is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(27)

Organization of Underlying Obligor. With respect to each Purchased Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Underlying Obligor delivered by the Underlying Obligor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Loan, the Underlying Obligor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

(28)

Appraisal. Seller has obtained an appraisal of the related Property with an Appraisal date within 6 months of the Purchased Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Purchased Date. Each Appraisal was performed in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Purchased Loan was originated.

(29)	Cross-Collateralization. No Purchased Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other Indebtedness that is not also a Purchased Loan.

Exhibit V - 7

(30)

Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Underlying Obligor other than in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Underlying Obligor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Purchased Loan (other than as contemplated by the Purchased Loan Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a Secured Party-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Purchased Loan Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Underlying Obligor under a Purchased Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

(31)	Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all Federal Trade Embargoes with respect to the origination of the Purchased Loan.

(32)

Ownership of Properties. Each Property Owner has good and marketable fee simple legal and equitable title to its respective Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances). None of the Permitted Encumbrances (a) materially and adversely affect the value of any Property, (b) impair the use or operation of any Property (as currently used), or (c) impair the Underlying Obligor’s ability to perform its obligations with respect to the Underlying Loan. Each Property Owner’s ownership of its respective Property is free and clear of any liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.

(33)

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Property indirectly securing a Purchased Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in an amount equal to not less than the purchase price of such Property, that insures for the benefit of the Property Owner, the fee simple ownership of such Property by the Property Owner, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Property Owner thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the Seller’s Knowledge, the Property Owner or any other Person, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(34)

Condition of Property. To the Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable loans, and except as disclosed on any engineering report or property condition report delivered to Buyer, as of the Purchase Date, each Property is free of and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would have a material adverse effect on the use or value of the Property as security for the Purchased Loan. Each Property has been renovated in accordance with the renovation standards set forth in the Purchased Loan Documents, if any.

(35)

Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Security Instrument, that would materially impair Seller’s or Buyer’s interest in any of the collateral for the Purchased Loan, and that prior to that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real

Exhibit V - 8

estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(36)

Condemnation. To the Seller’s Knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the Seller’s Knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Property.

(37)

Actions Concerning the Properties. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s Knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Property Owner or Property Owner’s interest in its respective Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Property Owner’s title to the Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Security Instrument, (c) such Property Owner’s ability to perform under the related Purchased Loan, (d) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Property.

(38)

Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. To the Seller’s Knowledge based solely on the Title Policies (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) and any current surveys obtained in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan, each Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Purchased Loan requires the Underlying Obligor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(39)

No Encroachments. To the Seller’s Knowledge based solely on the Title Policies (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan, (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Properties at the time of the origination of such Purchased Loan are within the boundaries of the related Properties, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Properties or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policies, (b) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Properties except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Properties or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policies and (c) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Properties or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policies.

Exhibit V - 9

(40)

Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s Knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar single family rental home loans intended for securitization, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Property securing a Purchased Loan as of the date of origination of such Purchased Loan and as of the Purchase Date, other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy, (ii) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of such Property. The terms of the Purchased Loan Documents require the Underlying Obligor and Property Owner to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(41)

Licenses and Permits. Each Underlying Obligor and Property Owner covenants in the Purchased Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for the operation of the Properties in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s Knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar single family rental home loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Loan requires the related Underlying Obligor and Property Owner to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Property is located.

(42)

Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. The related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Loan, the related Purchased Loan Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Secured Party from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto.

(43)

Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Purchased Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Underlying Obligor and is held or controlled by the related Secured Party; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Underlying Obligor that, based on the ESA, can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental

To Seller’s Knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Property.

(44)

Master Lease Agreement. Each related Security Instrument is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on each master lease agreement in the principal amount of such Purchased Loan or allocated loan amount in the aggregate together with all other Underlying Colalteral (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to Section 33 hereof (“Permitted Liens; Title Insurance”) set forth in the related Exception Report (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Except as otherwise set forth in the Title Policy relating to such Purchased Loan, such master lease agreements (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of the origination were, to the Seller’s Knowledge, free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Security Instrument, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy and, to the Seller’s Knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Security Instrument, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title policy.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, “Secured Party” shall mean the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Security Instrument, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Purchased Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.
